Future By Design (Trailer)

Future by Design is a documentary film by Academy Award nominated filmmaker William Gazecki, sharing the life and far-reaching vision of Jacque Fresco, a modern day Da Vinci. Peer to Einstein and Buckminster Fuller, Jacque is a self-taught futurist who describes himself most often as a "generalist" or multi-disciplinarian -- a student of many inter-related fields. He is a prolific inventor, having spent his entire life (he is now 90 years old) conceiving of and devising inventions on various scales which entail the use of innovative technology.

The film explores Fresco's world of the future, where scientific method, not politics, rules world operations, and all human activities and efforts are directed towards achieving dynamic equilibrium between man and nature.

Future by Design is a visually and intellectually engaging exploration of one man's vision of a future where war is outdated, there is no shortage of any necessary resource, and our focus as a species is sustainability. But far from presenting a vision of Utopia, this documentary demonstrates a "possible future" -- with real and viable alternatives to our current paradigm of militarism and commercialism.

Jacque Fresco is an outspoken and immediately likable character who's radical and sometimes irreverent ideas are sure to draw both praise and controversy. Distributed by Tubemogul.

As long as you have war, police, prisons, crime, you're in the early stages of civilization. Or what they call civilization.

Hell yeah.

[read the Tao Te Ching]

@2237lemon Some people like to build robots and smelt ore, this documentary isn't implying that jobs won't exist anymore, but simply that it will be more civilized.

[HeilNizar]

Oh the background music and the narrator are so not suitable and boring for this.

[Xarieus]

Kind of hypocritical to say as long as you have "war, police, prisons, crime you're in the early stages of civilization". What is there to determine what is crime and what isn't? Enter: laws, police, prisons. The simple fact is it's impossible for humans to coexist without these things.

so the utopians want to go tan while i smelt the ore, than they want to go pilot underwater craft while i build robots.... then when they realize that robots wont build everything they want by themselves they will want me to go build the buildings and other underwater craft for them so they go to the socialist center in the middle of town and pholosiphize how great uotpia can be if i just toil a little more... i mean volunteer my time.. woops.

The spreading of awareness is most important right now.Without that its just impatient people wasting their time

[erionmema1]

@RossCaleb to sum it up "as long as you have money..."

[Coelacanth1938]

We need to build beautiful things.

[TIGITOE]

HEY ! That building at 0:51 is the famous hotel burj al arab in Dubai! Did Fresco design it earlier ? Did some one copy his model 1 to 1 without telling him ?

Petitions don't make change. Activists do.
