The following is taken from the Zeitgeist Movement site, anarchists have been pointing in this direction since the birth of anarchism. I don't know much about The Zeitgeist Movement though I find myself in agreement with “most” of their aims. However the vision of the Venus Project looks a wee bit too much like Dubai. Where have the mountains gone and where is the lousy Scottish weather? Do we flatten the earth and control the weather to give us eternal sunshine?
An Introduction by Jacque Fresco, project director of the Venus Project.
Imagine a world without war, poverty, misery or money. Imagine a world where all people work together in a spirit of cooperation and not competition. Imagine this safer saner world and you are closer to understanding what the Zeitgeist Movement is about.
A close look at our present social systems which are built upon fundamentals which produce war, poverty, murder, crime, violence, compromised healthcare, media monopoly, corporate corruption and indifference for the environment, greed, apathetic self interest and desensitisation from others suffering, obsolete and archaic political systems based on subjective opinion (guesswork) and not on scientific and empirical certainty.
Its abundantly clear that we need to adapt our thinking because it will definitely be to our collective detriment if we do not. If we carry on so carelessly and wastefully into future, our future generations will pay the price for our mistakes.
