    Zeitgeist Movment and the Venus project

    Yea I guess I have started to agree with this modle for the last hmm 2 years I go to the meetings and stuff to me It seems like it's a bunch of like minded individuals who see that or economic structure is on a collision course with a finite planet. There is a strong emphisis on a no us and them mentality. but I know what you mean alot of these groups and movments when they start to gather momentom start to become rigid divisionary and sometimes violent and destructive. So long as the movment sticks to the gandi/Martian Luther king view all is well.

    Zeitgeist Movment and the Venus project

    The Zeitgeist Movement - Activist Orientation www.thezeitgeistmovement.com www.thevenusproject.com The Zeitgeist movement is not a political movement. It does not recognize divisionary notions such as nations, governments, races, religions, creeds or class. Rather, we see the world as one organism - with the human species as a singular family. Simultaneously we acknowledge that we depend entirely on our environment, not only in regard to the necessities of life such as food, air and water; but also for influence and guidance in regard to life's processes. We recognize and understand that aligning ourselves with natural processes is the most progressive and productive disposition we can have. The Zeitgeist movement in fact, is the activists arm of The Venus Project; an organization which constitutes the lifelong work of industrial designer and social engineer Jacque fresco. Simply put, what The Venus Project represents and what the Zeitgeist movement hence condones, could be summarized as the application of the scientific method for social concern. One of the greatest discoveries of humankind which has allowed for tremendous advancement in our abilities on this planet, has been the understanding and the application of science. Through the humane application of science and technology to social design and decision making, we have the means to transform our environment into something exceedingly more balanced, organized, humane, productive and most importantly, sustainable. As many are aware at this time, both our societal integrity and ecological integrity are in serious question. The current economic system is falling apart at an accelerating rate with the prospect of worldwide unemployment and destabilization occuring possibly on the largest scale ever seen. Simultaneously, we are caught in the point of no return in regard to the destruction of the environment. Given the current state of affairs, many of which will be addressed in the first part of this presentation, the viewer should find that we not only need to move in another direction - we have to. In order to understand where we are and how we have gotten to this point in history, we need to address those societal attributes which have greatly affected our social conduct. The most important observation in this regard is our use of a monetary system. In this section, we are going to address the mechanisms of our world monetary system, pointing out the consequences this type of organizational structure has produced. These consequences include: 1. The need for cyclical consumption denoting the economic requirement that products and services are perpetually bought and sold regardless of quality and waste. 2. The abundance of scarcity denoting how resources, goods and services are deliberately made scarce to ensure profitability within the supply and demand equation. 3. The priority of profit denoting the vast corruption commonplace in the world due to the need to generate income. 4. Fiscal manipulation denoting how the central banking systems of the world work to control the economy for the benefit of their corporate constituents and estabishment power. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWgNConkg2w
