The Zeitgeist Movement; Organizing the Venus Project

KyleIsNorml — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:51:12 GMT

The Zeitgeist Movement is the activist arm of an organization called The Venus Project, which constitutes the life long work of industrial designer and social engineer Jacque Fresco. The Zeitgeist Movement wants to maximize technology for the benefit of all and the effect of creating abundance which can be accomplished through resource management and technological ingenuity.

The Venus Project is a social system in which automation and technology would be intelligently integrated into an overall social design where the primary function would be to maximize the quality of life rather than profits. We realize that if we wish to end war, crime, hunger, poverty, territorial disputes, and nationalism, we must work toward a future in which all resources are accepted as the common heritage of all people and where technology is used to create a world-wide abundance rather than artificial scarcity. Simply put, we believe in moving towards a new society, The Venus Project, where the well-being of people always comes before profit and money/Capitalism is replaced with a "Resource-Based Economy" that serves the well-being of all people.

The Venus Project presents a bold, new direction for humanity that entails nothing less than the total redesign of our culture. There are many people today who are concerned with the serious problems that face our modern society: unemployment, violent crime, replacement of humans by technology, over-population and a decline in the Earth's ecosystems.

The Venus Project is dedicated to confronting all of these problems by actively engaging in the research, development, and application of workable solutions. Through the use of innovative approaches to social awareness, educational incentives, and the consistent application of the best that science and technology can offer directly to the social system, The Venus Project offers a comprehensive plan for social reclamation in which human beings, technology, and nature will be able to coexist in a long-term, sustainable state of dynamic equilibrium

I will leave direct links and information down below so that you can take a look for yourself! :thumbsup:

At least give what I have to set out for you all a chance and take a look into it, that is all I can ask of you. I'm being as honest as I can and as honest as some of you know of me to be!

Here are the links to get direct and additional information!

- http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com (Don't forget to look at the FQ&A!)
- http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com (Both movies can be seen on Google Video! Zeitgeist: The Movie & Zeitgeist: Addendum or you can go to that direct website and download the torrent files if you have a torrent uploader/downloader!)
- http://www.thevenusproject.com
- Peter Joseph on Blog Talk Radio (Responding to questions with answers and interviews with Mr. Fresco and Roxanne.)
- YouTube - TZMOfficialChannel's Channel
- Zeitgeist Movement; Organizing the Venus Project (TZm TVp) | MySpace (Personal non official profile that I made for the movement and the project, there is no official one on myspace so I decided to make one and do my part.)

At least take a look into it if not done so already. If so and act against it please don't ruin the opportunity of others by posting negative and harsh language in this thread please or rambling on about what everything is about in the movies, that just like watching a movie everyone has been waiting to see and then someone tells them everything before or during they watch it. That's just rude and you wouldn't like it if someone else did that to you as well would you? :) Simply just exit out of this thread. Let the others find out for themselves and have their own opinion! Thanks! :D

Until next time, have a nice life!

- Kyle
