And we are here to answer any questions regarding

"Zeitgeist Moving Forward" and we're here with The Venus Project

and you are also our New York chapter coordinator.

I'm not sure... We haven't given a categorization yet, have we?

- We're co-coordinators... - Co-coordinators, very beautiful.

And open to any questions you guys have to ask.

(Interviewer #1) The third film is very ambitious and very radical.

How do you think that it could become a reality

when you step outside into the city and you see the condition.

Take a city like New York, for instance. You look at the skyline

you look at the people, you look at the piles of trash.

How do you think that we can really transition?

How realistically speaking, what do you think is...?

- Well, there's two angles of transition:

There's the physical transition and then there's the cultural transition.

And out of both sides, the latter is much more complex.

The physical transition, rebuilding of buildings:

this is all technically feasible. It's provably and scientifically concrete

that we can do much more advanced things with extreme high efficiency.

So the physical transition isn't a problem to me at all.

It's the cultural transition. It's the people that are locked

into this system. It's the people that identify so dogmatically

that they feel that anything that alters their sense of identity

They want to believe that their social systems are for them

just like they want to believe that their governments are for them.

Just like they want to believe that marketing and advertising

has a huge following of people that identify strongly.

Same thing goes for corporations and social systems.

So we have the "free market". We live in "freedom" and "democracy"

and these words have resonant meanings with people

whatever you want to define them as. It's a whole different subject

because of the ambiguity of what people have been conditioned

to believe those words mean. Point being, the cultural transition

is by far the most difficult. We have to educate people

on what it means to be sustainable, and get them to understand the need

to identify with that for their own purposes

the survival of their kids and their grand-kids.

once you have enough people that believe in this

then you begin to slowly change certain environments

and certain regions to more sustainable practices

more sustainable practices not only regarding industry

but also what people actually do or engage in.

And then slowly the system will shift and then hopefully that will spread.

One more thing I'll add though is that there will be a social breakdown

which has already been underway for many decades

which people don't seem to reconcile or pay attention to

such as the continual doubling of poverty

the tremendous suffering, the extreme class division

the onslaught of all sorts of mental diseases, neuroses

and many things covered in the film as a result literally of this system.

These things are eventually going to come to a head, when people

will step back and finally say, "We can't do this anymore!"

We are suffering tremendously at multiple levels.

We have energy deficiencies. We have health deficiencies.

And all of these things will come to a head to an effect where I think

most consciousness, and people will wake up

and realize that we have to do something new.

Either that happens or we're going to move into something

(Interviewer#1) Right, and that's I think the area

that I'd like to talk about. How then would the movement

encourage people to get in front of that or get behind it?

I say this, people find it cliché, is the American Civil Rights Movement

because it actually did work to a certain effect.

because of the fact that so many people got behind it.

The power is in critical mass. I don't believe that politicians

will do anything. To get into a position of political power

for challenging the system, to put it along with its sense.

You have to orient the status quo to even be in a position

to have a relationship with the status quo.

That's just the inevitable motion. You can't possibly have...

and if they do get in power, something will remove them from it

and that has been historically true or they're demeaned.

And the few people that are in power today in the Congress of the US

that have hints of trying to change things for the better

they get more attacked than any other politician out there.

So the change will not come from any political system

and it certainly won't come from a corporate system.

You are not going to see corporations magically trying to be

actually sustainable because as I point out in the film

it is mathematically impossible for them to do so.

The entire financial system is driven by consumption

and the more consumption the better; therefore, sustainability
