Profesor: Okay Welcome again everyone,in for a special day today, we're really lucky to

To-infinitive

have a couple of amazing people here. I just like you to welcome JAcque Fresco and Roxanne

Meadows from the Venus Project. Jacque: To those of you back there, do you

hear me alright? ok. I just want to tell you a little bit about the requirements. That

we requiere of you. Not to be polite. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask the

question. Try to tighten your answers, in other words, to give other the people the

chance to talk. Don't come off with long "winded" discussions, just pin point your problems,

on the things you want to know. Being polite would be offensive to me, so I want you to..if

I say anything you don't understand (Say "I don't get it." Don't say "That's nice" you

know. "I don't get it. I want more detail". If I fail to answer your questions, say "You

didn't answer my question". Please do that, otherwise we can't learn from each other.

So, I´m gonna tell you a little bit of what The Venus Project is, those of you know what

it is rise your hands so I guess I don't have to tell you what it is. Essentially what The

Venus Project proposes is, that we bring all the nations together, and take care everything

on Earth. We pledge allegiance to the environment and all the world´s people. The end of the

separate nations, the end of the artificial bounderies that separate people and the sharing

of all world´s resources by all the world´s people. Anything less than that we´ll create

the same problems over and over again. If few nations control most of the earths' resources

you're going have territorial disputes. You're going have war. You're going have all the

problems you've always had. Thats why most people think it's human nature, they think

man's basically greedy and that this is why you have problems. That is not true. I wanna

say this, a banker, a serial-killer, and a gangster and a priest are made by environment.

If you don't understand that, in the United States in the deep south if you were brought

up there, you´ll speak with a southern accent, nothing you can do about it. If I say "Stop

speaking with the Southern accent", you can't. Now if you're brought up in an uneducated

region you going to have things like this,..."Those damm niggers!" It's the way they speak, I´m

imitating? them. They say thing like: I´m goin' get me a nigger an' I´m goin' kick

his ass!" And environement expresions, a facial movements are picked up by the environment.

It's not human behavior is the environment we come from which generates behavior. Now,if

you're brought up in Italy you'd say (imita el accento Italiano) "Come ona eat, it's a

gooda food!"" Now that is not... thats the way you would speak if you were brought up

there. "Vive la France!" "Deutchland über alles!" Germany above all.". Now, we are victims

of culture, all of us. That´s why we have a distorted view. We belive some people are

good, some are bad, some are creative, some less creative, all that is bunk? Everyone

can be creative. Now they tell you in your schools that plant grow, that's a lie, they

need water, sunshine, soil, moisture, gravity, all those things. Without them the plant doesn't

move. They tell you that sailboats sail, they don't sail, they're acted upon by the wind.

There is nothing in the earth today that is not activated upon by resident forces, meaning,

the way you think, the way you move your facial expressions, girls behave differently than

men. Not because they are women. Because, if a normal boy brought up by six women, very

effeminite women, and they say "Oh did I see a gourgeus hat?" That boy will speak just

that way. And if you are brought up in france, you speak with a french accent or french english

accent. If you live in France ten years, you move to Germany and live there ten years,

you speak with german french accent. Not a thing you can do about it. So, your facial

expressions and your language were designed hundred of years ago, that's why we can't

talk to each other, we talk AT one another, not TO one another. Now, a lot of people don't

understand that, so I'll say that the bible, when you read it, he says "Jesus, he meant

this", he says "On no, he meant that". And the third person says "Both wrong!" That's

why have the seventh day adventists, the catholics, the presbyterians, because the bible is subject

to interpretation. All our languages are loused up, it's subject to interpretation, except

chemistry, physiscs, mathematics, engineering is not subject to interpretation. When engineers

talk to each other, they talk of the tensal strength, compression strength, torsional

strength. So the lenguage is not subject to interpretation. And if you take a blue print

of an automobile, from America, and bring it to Japan, they turn out the same process,

not subject to interpretation. So it appears that most of the language of science and technology

is not subject to interpretation. When you talk to somebody, I say "I think this is what

he means", and goes through the head and it comes out different. He says "That's not what

I meant! Of course you are going to have trouble. A lawyer is a guy who that takes language,

twists it around, to anyway he wants to. If he's skilled at it he can knock you out and

put you in jail. A lawyer will be considered a criminal in the future. So would all bankers,

and all businessman, and all politicians. Don't forget, you're brought up to belive

that King Salomon was a great guy, he had a thousand wives. He'd be arrested today as

a bigamist? So, all the things that you're taught, they teach you to fit in with this

culture. All civilizations are established, and they're established on the bases that

kept those in power, in power. So they still run the show. Now, I am not saying they're

good or bad, they've been conditioned, it seeems normal to them. So if you were raised

by the head hunters of the Amazon as a baby, and I went to you and said "Doesn't it bother

you to have 10 shrunken heads?" He says "Yes! My brother has twenty!" Is he bad? No, that's

the way he was brought up. So you see, there's no such thing as thinking things over, you

think within the context of the way you were brougt up. If you are ask an eskimo "What

do you want? You can have anything you want". He can´t say a stainless steel airconditioner,

it is not within his environmet. So it's very hard for so called normal people to step outside

of the environment. If you ask an eskimo, "Do you ever dream of walking on a palm fringed

beach with coconouts and sunshine?" He says "I don't know what you're talking about."

He's not a bad guy. Now in the early days in the Roman empire I am told that they used

to feed christians to the lions. But first they would starve the lions to make a better

show. Then they'd take the clothes off the christinas so it'd be easier for the lions

to tear them to pieces. Now the family would come saturday and sunday to see christians

being fed to the lions, and kids would say "Daddy can we come next week to see christians

being fed to the lions?" Daddy would say "If you behave yourselves". Now are these kids

sick? No, they're normal to that culture. The nazis "Heil Hitler!" are normal to that

culture. There are no good or bad people, there no corrupt people or dishonest people,

creative people, lazy people. All that's bunk!
