The Zeitgeist Movement: Orientation Presentation
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. The Venus Project has the solutions.

Waking Knowledge’s Thoughts:
Jacque Fresco & Roxanne Meadows, who run The Venus Project, have an idea for a sustainable future which is not based far off into the distant future, but offers solutions to our chaotic systems which govern our day to day lives today.
Sustainable development is about managing waste and creating some kind of equilibrium between nature and ourselves. Sounds New Age, but really it is just a few steps ahead of the ‘political agendas ‘now being presented to us in 2009 gone, and now into 2010.
I think we all have a deeper understanding of the economics involved in human living (mainly due to the global recession recently) and we now possess the knowledge, collectively, to understand how the mechanics of social structures and manipulation help to create the powerful wealth archetypes’ in the system, whom we so despise. As suggested, taking the steps to eliminate waste would also relieve the stresses of competition in manufacturing of the goods we consume, ultimately leading to the non-existence of a monetary system, so heavily relied upon in today’s material world.
Whether or not this view represents a communistic state, I do believe that these thoughts and ideas on how to create a sustainable future can only be a good thing for species living here on Earth.
It is a fine line we walk between existence in balance, or extinction out of balance.
