I'm project director of The Venus Project

if you don't want poverty, hunger, unemployment

and all the other problems that go with society

as the common heritage of all the world's people.

you'll have problems to the amount of events you don't want to change.

we'll have the same problems over and over again.

Because we deal with the problems themselves.

The factors that shape arrogant behaviour, aggression

all the things that paralyze our society and prevent it from growing.

they're not students of agriculture, oceanography.

They know nothing about the factors that operate the world.

So, they say things that people like to hear

Now, scientists, on the other hand, are not concerned with public approval.

What they do, even if everybody on Earth believed the Earth was flat

they would say, "You're wrong. This is the evidence we have

to support the fact that the Earth is round."

instead of bringing 50 eggs and chickens.

agreed upon to diminish the lugging around of heavy objects.

Later it became the most corrupting medium in the world.

It corrupted people, they paid each other off.

If you wanted a congressman to act in your behalf

you put up a certain amount of money to help him get elected

And that's the same with the drug companies

In the old days, people could not account for natural events.

They really didn't know where all this came from.

So they assumed there was a guy that lived up in the sky

He made the Earth, I think he took six days

If it took six days, it means it was turning while he was making it

And that must have been pretty rough to handle the thing while it was turning.

Then he made a snake which walked upright

and said, you know, 'Do terrible things'.

And the people eat of the fruit of knowledge.

And they ate the fruit and he kicked them out.

I don't understand this all loving, all benevolent being that loves everybody

and then he creates the plague and other diseases when he gets angry.

And then if you don't follow the teachings

all the religious teachings, you burn in hell.

And that sounded to me like a psychopath, not God.

But I'm mixed up when they tell me, 'God loves everybody'.

Then he creates a plague where children die.

And I said, "How come the children are dying?"

'Because the children shall suffer for the sins of the parents'.

So when you ask me whether I believe in God, not the concepts of God, I've heard.

War is a word which was invented when one territorial group of people

They used force and violence and war was the medium for doing that.

You shot other the people, stole their women and their resources for your own gain.

And nations have been at war ever since man invented weapons.

And as long as you invent weapons, you're gonna have war.

And war is the means of protecting everything you've stolen from others.

They start out smaller and take land away from other people.

They weren't invited to take over the land.

They took it, by killing, force and violence.

And war is a most inappropriate way of solving the differences.

That's why I'm against the Pentagon and the military
