War, poverty, corruption, hunger, misery, human suffering will not change in a monetary system. That is there will be very little significant change. Its going to take the redesign of our culture, our values, and it has to be related to the carrying capacity of the earth. Not some human opinion, or some politicians notions of the way the world ought-a be, or some religious notions of the conduct of human affairs. -Jacque Fresco of the Venus project They take the children and ask them; What is the greatest country in the world? The kid says; I havent the slightest idea. They say; This country! This is the greatest country in the world! And God is on our side. So you get a bunch of pin heads all over the world, responding to these mechanisms of control. -Jacque Fresco The problems that we have today will continue to go on. This will never go away within a monetary system. - Roxanne Meadows of the Venus Project If you had a free society you couldnt get people to go to war, if you had an intelligent type of upbringing in ones children. They would say; There must be many other ways of solving problems other then killing people. -Jacque Fresco Of all the social institutions we are born into, directed by, and conditioned upon, there seems to be no system to be taken as granted, and misunderstood, as the monetary system. Taking on nearly religious proportions, the established monetary institution exists as one of the most unquestioned forms of faith there is. How money is created, the policies by which it is governed, and how it truly affects society, are unregistered interests of the great majority of the population. -Peter Joseph of the Zeitgeist movement Make no mistake. The greatest destroyer of ecology. The greatest source of waste, depletion and pollution. The greatest purveyor of violence, war, crime, poverty, animal abuse and inhumanity. The greatest generator of personal and social neurosis, mental disorders, depression, anxiety. Not to mention the greatest source of social paralysis, stopping us from moving into new methodologies for personal health, global sustainability and progress on this planet, is not some corrupt government or legislation. Not some rogue corporation or banking cartel. Not some flaw of human nature and not some secret cabal that controls the world. It is the socioeconomic system itself at its very foundation. —Peter Joseph, from Zeitgeist: Moving Forward Your personal beliefs what ever they may be are meaningless when it comes to the necessitys of life. Every human being is born naked needing warmth, food, water, shelter, everything else is auxiliary. Therefore the most important issue at hand is the intelligent management of the earths resources. This can never be accomplished in a monetary system, for the pursuit of profit is the pursuit of self interest and therefore unbalance is inherent. -Peter Joseph Static empirical knowledge does not exist, rather it is the insight of the emergence of all systems we must recognize. This means we must be open to new information at all times even if it threatens our current belief system and hence identities. Sadly, society today has failed to recognize this, and the established institutions continue to paralyze growth by preserving outdated social structures. Simultaneously, the population suffers from a fear of change- for their conditioning assumes a static identity, and challenging ones belief system usually results in insult and apprehension- for being wrong is erroneously associated with failure; when in fact, to be proven wrong should be celebrated- for it is elevating someone to a new level of understanding, furthering awareness. The fact is there is no such thing as a “smart” human being- for it is merely a matter of time before their ideas are updated, change, or eradicated. And this tendency to blindly hold on to a belief system, sheltering it from new possibly transforming information is nothing less than a form of “intellectual materialism. -Peter Joseph of the Zeitgeist Movement
