A Meeting with Jacques Fresco, Part I

Two weeks ago, two friends and I visited Jacques Fresco and his wife, Roxanne Meadows, at the Venus Project in Venus, Florida. Many people now know of Jacques because he is featured in Zeitgeist Addendum, the companion to the original Zeitgeist film, both of which you can watch here :

http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ This is the first part in a series of clips showing Jacques talking about his life, work, and ideas.
Jacques is nearly 93 years old and going strong. If you're in the area, you might consider visiting him to learn more, and to see all that he and Roxanne have accomplished. Much thanks to them both for all they are, do, and for their hospitality!

I like how he says politeness holds people back TRUE THAT . How you say something doesn't matter nearly as much as the message your trying to convey. The problem is now you have 3 ways of saying something politely rudely and truthfully

The analysis ('diagnosis') done in the ZEITGEIST movement, by Peter Joseph and friends, is accurate and well-presented.

The 'prescription' of how this is to be changed as suggested in the VENUS PROJECT, by Jaque Fresco and others, is far too 'technocratic' ---- and needs major revisions and additions to become more 'humanised'.

That's very obvious to anyone seeing this !!

@TheDJ2001

LOL notthing he said came true and not one single scientist considers him any worth at all. In fact we make plenty of movies on the subject including the latest THE GREAT SQUEEZE and that shit is not part of it or any other! In fact not once has any scientist ever refered to him in any way but a joke of really bad designs and bad models and really bad understanding of reality and physics..heck he is a JOKE!

Now we are closing his license so YOu can see he is a con.

@Peterwhitlock the other thing is, do you understand what libel and defamation are?? you do understand that going round making unjustified slander against people or organisations can land you in court?? not that the venus project is going to pay two seconds of attention to you. im just saying theres a way to go about things and u need to calm down and try and find some objectivity in your thought processes here.

[getclogged]

@Peterwhitlock you gotta get a grip mate, and calm down. for goodness sake, jacque has directly stated that computers will be used to make production and distribution decisions, not to control people. how the hell can a computer control anyone? theyre not bias, they dont care, they dont have feelings. calm down for your own health buddy, jesus. no one is against you here. we are all human with the same needs. these people jus twant to set up a better system of supplying needs. deep breaths ok :)
