They tell you that everything begins - the tree begins as a seed. How do you know the

seed is the beginning, how do you know it's not the end product? Now you don't get that

in school, they have to make you alike, so then they control. When war comes they make

There is no you, people say 'what about individuality?' that's all bullshit. When you're very young

they pump crap into your head - Cinderella, Christianity. I wanna tell you something about

infants. They can learn technology right away, electronics, continental drift, agriculture,

kids can learn anything, just as soon as they can learn 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. 'On the

way he met a cow, "moo moo" said the cow, "bah bah" said the sheep. You fill kids head's

with that shit, and you want em to grow up sane? Whatever they pump into your head, then

they say to you as a baby "who loves you more than anyone in the world?" you say "I don't

know", "your mommy and daddy", "what's the greatest country in the world?" - "I don't

know" - "this country!" Creativity, is taking known elements, and putting em together in

unique ways. I'm trying to give you back your brain, which they took away from you in schools,

and in your upbringing. Trying to show you how the world works. So if you want a better

world, you have to get up off your ass and make it better. The

future's going to be very different than what it is today. So the venus project is not about

new cities, or new architecture, it's about a way of thinking. I want you to understand

that man reflects his culture. His language  - no Chinese baby was ever born that spoke

Chinese, without being exposed to the language. So, we found out that you can't pass on acquired

things like bigotry, prejudice, greed, that's all learned in your culture or your sub culture.

The difference between a serial killer and a saint is environment. That's a very hard

thing to accept, because that raises lots of questions. We have no natural instincts.

All that's bullshit, it's learned. Hard to believe, because I feel I make my own decisions.

I don't feel I've been conditioned to make it, cause it's happened ever since I was this

high, I don't even know what I'm doing. I asked myself years ago, I said "gee, how are

you going to change the world with all these different values, different people thinking

differently" so I said "I don't know", that's the first thing you have to learn how to say

"I don't know." We don't know how to get to different people, how we going to build a saner

world? And I realized, that the rules of the game - the way society operates, didn't make

sense - cause there was products, but people wanted things but they didn't have the money.

So I figured it was the old rules of the game that were at fault. That were aborated. So

I began to work on the redesign of society. So reason and logic is not the way to get

to people, you have to get to them in a way they understand, and if you fail, come at

it another way. If you demonstrate it, they know what you're talking about. So, I began

to say "how do you know what you think is true? That maybe your own projection." You

have to look at the whole picture. They say "god put the fingernails on so if insects

get on you can scratch" - why did he make the god damn insects? Then he wouldn't have

to make the fingernails. They say "I believe in nature, nature's harmonious" - every big

fish is eating every smaller fish, every organ in your body is fighting constantly, invading

bacteria. Is that what you mean by harmony? There are planets that are exploding out there,

meteorites that hit one another and blow up, what's the purpose of that? What's the purpose

of floods? To drown people? In other words, if you start looking for purpose, you've gotta

look all over, take in the whole picture. So man projects his own values into nature.

It's hard to be deciant in a money world. We wanna shutdown all repetitious jobs - automate

it - free people. That's the government of the future. No people, cause people fucked

up every time they were in government. They all become corrupt, they get payed off, you

go to war again, you have depression, it never put an end to anything. Cause a machine has

no ambition. It doesn't want to take over, it doesn't have a gut reaction. Because there

the only thing that can handle a global system. Man can't. It'd take 10 years to change the

Earth to a second garden of Eden. If you get rid of hand labor. Politicians do that. They

speak to win approval. The scientist - if everyone believed the Earth was flat - they

move right in and they say "you're wrong, it's round, and this is the evidence." So,

don't speak to win approval. When you learn to surrender your ego for sharing ideas, that's

the beginning of real progress. They don't want you to be smarter than they are. Don't

forget when you run into an egotist - what they call an 'egotist' - they try to maintain

their position of leadership. And when you say "I'm just a plane old American, I love

this country, if you don't like it, get the fuck out!" See it's easy to understand, isn't

it? So that's why most people are simplistic, cause it's easy to grasp. "Do that right thing

that's all" - what's the right thing? A guy said "everytime I ask you a question, I get

a lecture. I want an answer!" - you know? there are no answers, it's very complex, every

question a person asks, how come some people work real hard and others don't work at all?

It isn't because he's lazy, "ahhh ok, that's clear" - but if you go into the background

of a person, how he gets to be that way, why he avoids work, you go into the nature of

the factors that shape human behavior, you know what I mean? That's too complicated.
