One way or another,

we will end up in a system that's not based on money

as we know it today.

Why?

Because that will be realized, in the future, by historians

as the total and pivotal cause

of the destruction of civilization as we know it.

We're not born with prejudice,

and bigotry, and anger, and greed.

It's really generated and nurtured by the environment that we live in.

That's why we feel that unless you change your environment,

and change the experiences, we'll get the same aberrant

behavior within people, unless the environment is changed.

People always ask, "How much will it cost to put up these new cities?"

"Do we have the resources to do it?"

That's the question.

Not, "How much does it cost?"

That's the old question, during the monetary system.

I don't want to see humanity suffer,

I don't want to see the population

start to shrink because of our lack of energy and food.

I don't want to see these things happen,

but I know, sadly, that a good portion of it is gonna happen,

until people start to wake up and recognize

a new paradigm that's on the horizon

that we must drive forward to as fast as humanly possible.

People don't understand the tremendous advantages,

that technology, if used intelligently

if we use the same kind of intelligence

that we use in military development,

we could have solved many social problems years ago.

We don't.

Because of the separate disciplines of science.

The Venus Project

The Venus Project is not only about cities though.

If we took the same people and moved them into beautiful cities,

without a change of direction,

a change of social design, and a value system,

we'd still have wars, poverty, hunger, crime, and territorial disputes.

So, I hate to sound condescending and negative,

I hate to throw out all this rhetoric

but, I'm fairly irritated at this point,

and I try not to be.

I just want to make it understood that the entire system

that we live in is a sham. It's a false system.

Falsivity defined by the fact that it cannot be sustained.

It's that simple.

And we propose a Resource Based Economy.

I hope everyone watching this film will go to

www.thezeitgeistmovement.com

and understand what we're doing.

I hope everyone out there will understand that,

either we change or we die.

It's amazing how simple their associative system is.

People say, you know, they think they had a conscience

guys who turned the gas chambers on.

They had no conscience, didn't bother them at all.

Not at all.

The guy that didn't sleep well was the humanist, troubled by all this.

See, the humanist doesn't understand

that a human being can be conditioned

to cut up people, torture them, do anything,

anything, without feeling any kind of pain at all.

In fact, waiting for the next event.

Nobody out there is to be blamed for their behavior,

is what I'm trying to say.

Wake Up! Time is Now!
