TEDxOjai: ''Resource Based Economy '' - Jacque Fresco

[DeSwiss]

''...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.''

1. MR. FRESCO PAINTS A COMICS PAGE VIEW OF THE FUTURE...HOWEVER,

There's a big difference 'tween how it currently is, and how it would need to be...just how is the magical jump 'posed to happen?

2. I'm not well read on Mr.Fresco, and after watching his Venus Project documentary...

After watching his documentary I can't say he has an answer to that question. Really all he provides are glimpses towards the future we ought to be aiming towards. The dirty work of getting to a state of utopia is something is rarely presented in anything beyond vague statements. Realistically, a world like Fresco's would require a violent revolution where the fortifiers of the establishment/status quo are removed from positions of influence.


Here's his documentary on Youtube if you're curious. He presents some pretty cool inventions throughout that make it worth watching if nothing else.

3. The future is created by those who can see what others can't.

Those who can't see a different future stay where they are.

Those who can't see a way to change themselves will eventually be subsumed to Nature.

That includes cultures, societies as well as people.

That is Nature's way.

Evolution is not choice.
