is a society that is free of all the old superstitions,

incarceration, prisons, police cruelty and law.

All laws will disappear,

and the professions will disappear, that are no longer valid,

such as stockbrokers, bankers, advertising.

Gone! Forever.

Because it's no longer relevant.

-When we understand that it is technology

devised by human ingenuity

which frees humanity and increases our quality of life,

we then realize that the most important focus we can have

is on the intelligent management of the earth's resources.

For it is from these natural resources, we gain the materials

to continue our path of prosperity. Understanding this we then see

that money fundamentally exists as a barrier to these resources,

for virtually everything has a financial cost.

And why do we need money to obtain these resources?

Because of real or assumed scarcity.

We don't usually pay for air and tap water,

because it is in such high abundance,

selling it would be pointless.

So then, logically speaking, if resources

and technologies applicable to creating everything in our societies

such as houses, cities and transportation, were in high enough

abundance, there would be no reason to sell anything.

Likewise, if automation and machinery was so technologically advanced

as to relieve human beings of labor,

there would be no reason to have a job.

And with these social aspects taken care of,

there would be no reason to have money at all.

So the ultimate question remains:

Do we on Earth have enough resources

and technological understanding

to create a society of such abundance,

that everything we have now could be available without a price tag

and without the need for submission through employment?

Yes, we do.

We have the resources and technology to enable this at a minimum

along with the ability to raise the standards of living so high

that people in the future will look back at our civilization now

and gawk at how primitive and immature our society was.

-What The Venus Project proposes is an entirely different system

that's updated to present day knowledge.

-We've never given scientists the problem of

how do you design a society which would

eliminate boring and monotonous jobs,

that would eliminate accidents in transportation,

that would enable people to have a high standard of living,

that would eliminate poisons in our food,

give us other sources of energy that are clean and efficient.

We can do that out there.

A resource-based economy.

The major difference between a

Resource-Based Economy (RBE) and a monetary system

is that a RBE is really concerned with people and their well-being,

where the monetary system has become so distorted that the

concerns of the people are really secondary, if they're there at all.

The products that are turned out are for how much money you can get.

If there is a problem in society and

you can't earn money from solving that problem, then it won't be done.

The Resource-Based Economy is really

not close to anything that's been tried.

And with all our technology today we can create abundance.

It could be used to improve everyone's lifestyle,

abundance all over the world if we use our technology wisely

and maintain the environment.

-It's a very different system and it's very hard to talk about

because the public is not that well enough informed

as to the state of technology.
