  • Detail the difference between how we make decisions now

  • as opposed to how decisions are arrived at

  • in a Resource-Based Economy - Well, the decision making system now

  • is mainly based upon different industries

  • which feel that they have a good product

  • so they advertise and convince people to buy that product.

  • Whereas in the future, in a saner system

  • we would design products not to wear out and break down

  • to last as long as possible

  • so that the responsibility of the service sector

  • would not be overloaded.

  • The longer materials last

  • the less burdensome to society.

  • Therefore, our major concern is not profit

  • it's the well-being of human beings throughout the world.

  • To the degree that we neglect people

  • we hurt our own future. For example

  • if we or the United States controlled

  • most of the Earth's resources

  • we would produce anxiety in other countries

  • for fear of running out of resources:

  • arable land, water, etc. And therefore, they might invade

  • this country to try to get the necessary resources for survival.

  • I don't think it's wise for a nation to defend itself

  • or try to make sustainability available

  • only in the area that they live

  • because they would produce hatred and envy

  • and try to control the resources of other countries

  • so that we can enslave people or put them on minimum wage

  • and get whatever we want produced

  • for the self-centered reason of our nation.

  • And we seek national advantage

  • rather than global advantage.

  • As long as we seek national advantage

  • it may work for a while. It may enhance the lifestyles

  • or increase the productivity of goods and services

  • but that's not of long duration. This is the only thing I worry about.

  • Sustainability for separate nations is OK in the short run

  • but in the long run it produces negative retroaction.

  • So this is how we really work if you want to know.

  • The best way to understand it

  • was assuming that we found a planet similar to the Earth

  • with lots of resources, unspoiled waters

  • non-contaminated air;

  • and brought a group of people together and ask:

  • "What is it that people really need?"

  • And then you list all the things that people really need.

  • The next question is: "Can that planet

  • provide for those needs?"

  • And if it cannot, you have to base your needs

  • on what the planet can provide.

  • If the population is too large

  • the planet cannot provide for that enlarged population.

  • Therefore, the size of the population

  • would be built and based upon the carrying capacity

  • of that regional division or the planet's capacity

  • to produce sustainable materials.

  • Therefore, we cannot invite

  • billions of people to live on the new planet

  • if the planet cannot sustain them.

  • So when I say "Decisions have to be arrived at"

  • first you have to study the carrying capacity of a planet

  • what it's capable of supporting. Then you design your cities

  • and population densities so that they correspond

  • to the carrying capacity of the environment.

  • That's what I mean when I say "People do not make decisions

  • they arrive at them." And how do you decide

  • how much oxygen to carry on a submarine?

  • Well, that depends on the amount of people in a submarine

  • and how long you wish to be submerged. That determines that.

  • How do you know how much water to carry on the submarine?

  • How do you know how much food to carry?

  • How do you know how much electrical power?

  • It depends on the performance you want of that submarine.

  • Then you put in the proper electrical power

  • for operating the submarine.

  • You have to put in enough food and refrigeration equipment

  • to feed the crew. If you don't provide for that

  • the technology may work, but the crew won't.

  • You have to not make decisions, you have to arrive at them.

  • -That is a small portion of a talk about arriving at decisions.

  • It's by survey and Scientific Method.

  • And he covers some other things in there about population, laws

  • negative retroactions of separate nations and national advantage

  • and so forth. All of that lecture is posted

  • in audio format; and to get that link for that and other posts

  • be sure to sign up for the Twitter account which is /frescotweets

  • Lectures and Questions and Answers will be posted there periodically.

  • If you'd like to help The Venus Project out more directly

  • then have a look at the new global activism page

  • which you will find on the main page

  • under the 'Get Involved' drop down menu.

  • And you can sign up on that, your contributions are greatly appreciated.

  • Thanks.
