The title of the presentation is "Where are we now?"

In my experience so far in attempting to promote the ideas

of the movement and the Venus Project, I find about 95% of the critics

tend to ignore the current state of affairs.

And in a detached manner, they simply criticize the abstracts

without ever reflecting on the train of thought

that was employed to reach those solutions.

So in response to this, I decided to simply focus on the information

which will, at a minimum, at least further compound the dire need

to get away from our current social practices

while also showing the logic that the Venus Project employs

to arrive at the conclusions and ideas that they do.

We're not just making things up. Jacque Fresco didn't just

creatively come up with ideas. He has a pivotal train of thought

of the movement, the tenets of the Venus Project.

In Part 1 we're going to elaborate even more

on the nature of our world monetary system and its consequences

while in Part 2 we will take a larger step back and consider the human condition

its cultivation and the effects of the social system at large.

Before I begin, please note that it was recommended

in the emails sent out that people read the Orientation Guide

basically I'm going to move very quickly through a lot of this information

on the assumption that a lot of you are already familiar with some of it.

If you're not, don't be surprised if some things come as extremely foreign.

This lecture is actually part of two lectures.

The second lecture will be given sometime in the future to deal with the other section.

As you'll see, I deal with the first part

of the idea which is the fact that our social system is corrupt

and the second section is what the solutions are. We're not going to talk

about solutions specifically right now. We're going to talk about

The term "Zeitgeist" is defined as the intellectual

The term "Movement" simply implies motion or change.

Therefore, the Zeitgeist Movement is an organization that urges change

in the dominant, intellectual, moral and cultural climate of the time

specifically to values and practices which would better serve

the well-being of the whole of humanity, regardless of race

religion, creed or any other form of contrived social status.

The Zeitgeist Movement in function exists as a communicative representation

of an organization called The Venus Project

which is essentially a conceptual and technological set of ideas

which constitutes the life-long work of industrial designer

Mr Fresco, along with his associate Roxanne Meadows, have been working

for decades to establish the technical methods and educational imperatives

which can transition society away from its current cycles of war

perpetual poverty and pervasive corruption

into an improved social design based on environmental alignment

practicality, peak efficiency, and most critically

a heightened standard of living, personal freedom and well-being

for not just one nation or class, but for the entire human family.

The ultimate materialization of these ideas

updated to present-day knowledge. And the design can be termed

"We call for a straight forward redesign of our culture

in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt

and unnecessary human suffering are viewed as not only avoidable

Anything less simply results in a continuation

of the same catalog of problems inherent in the present system.

In summary, a Resource-Based Economy utilizes resources rather than commerce.

All goods and services are available without the use of currency

credit, barter, or any form of debt or servitude.

The aim of this new social design is to free humanity

from the repetitive, mundane and arbitrary occupational roles

which hold no true relevance to social development

while also encouraging a new incentive system

that is focused on self-fulfillment, education

social awareness and creativity, as opposed

to the contrived, shallow, self-interested, corruption generating goals

of wealth, property and power which are dominant today.

The enabling foundation of this concept is the realization

that through the intelligent management of the earth's resources

along with the liberal application of modern technology and science

we have the ability to create a near global abundance on this planet

and thus escape the detrimental consequences generated

by the real and artificial scarcity and waste which is dominant today.

This reality can provably create a high quality of life for

the entire world population many times over.

The Venus Project takes into account something which has been long lost

the fundamental building blocks of society

and the basic understandings required to maintain a person's emotional

All social systems regardless of political philosophy, religious beliefs

or social customs ultimately depend upon natural resources

as the initial step towards social functionality.

Concurrently, society itself is a culture machine.

In other words, it's a natural consequence

for a culture to support the values integral to the dominant institutions

of that society, regardless of the benefit of those values.
