This fourth part maintains a cosmopolitan attitude, and states that human societies are part of an interdependent universe. It suggests several means of social change , largely via non-violent boycotting and educating , in order to oppose rigid social institutions. The film concludes in a sequence depicting actors as members of the fast-paced modern world suddenly stopping in their everyday activities and letting go of various symbolic items of corporate, religious, and materialistic significance.

Its not like the matrix or terminator…Machines would simply be an extension of mankinds will. Like a pair of tweezers , or a bicycle…. Have you looked into Damanhur? Most work regular jobs, but they have so many projects.
The trees participating in an orchestra with synthesizers, a potted tree going on road trips to teach other trees how to make music ….
They also produce their organic food animals and veggies , they test food for GM, pesticides, etc. I bet that eliminates many personal problems. Some people dismiss Damanhur because the UN gave them an award, so they must be part of the evil system. My ideal society would be very similar. High tech, yet self sufficient. Locally grown food, energy independent.
Been wondering whether the Damanhur spiritual aspects are a requirement to get people to want to research and develop, to try new concepts, to have an interest in science, to make the planet a better place for all.
I bet all the starving people in the world would gladly accept a resource based economy. The world does not belong to the rich! We are taught that the past is what we learn from, but if most of history has been mistranslated, misinformed, and CHANGED, then how do we know whats right or wrong? You ask very good questions. Each and every one of us have to find the answers to those questions ourselves and hopefully start to walk the talk, too.
In order to build something new and even outside of the box it is very useful, and even necessary, to evaluate what has been done in the past in order not to repeat the same mistakes again. How to learn from history? We have historical records and evidence, facts if you will, and by studying those and applying our reasoning, knowledge, and experience we can come a long way. The point is not to believe what others tell you but to verify the evidence and theories yourself and build your own picture of the world.
It saves a lot of trouble to know what does not work. The Venus project cannot work, unfortunately. Having dedicated, honest, responsible, transparent, caring, humble, knowledgeable, and ethical people from all walks of life working together and sharing the same vision.
Nothing prevents doing new things right now and there are small teams of people doing exactly this. Just do it — deeds talk the loudest. With very basic things coverd the resources of the world become exponetially more abundant! Oil for instance. No more burning it in cars or to heat home and we are talking about billions of barrels not being used anymore. What will are cars run on? How can we heat our homes? Geothermal power production alone can creat enough electricity for 4, years!
Thats more than enough to charge our cars and power our homes! Prices on everything would go down because power is no longer a factor in production, and when electricity is used in transportation and is free transportation costs would also drop. We could give the power as well as the technology away to the rest of the world…Would be kind of hard for the rest of the world to hate us if we are giving them power freely and with no strings… Now we can start taking money away from the military and build more VALUE into the world.
We could give everyone a college education! Put billions of dollars into a worldwide maglev system. Our grandkids can go anywhere in the world for the weekend!
Its a belief in a good future for all of humanity and best of all… it is entirely possible! Indeed Alex. The main shift has to happen in our points of views and values. After that pretty much anything is possible. However, this does not happen without letting go of the current attachments and clinging to the status quo. So far they have managed to avoid this to happen. That is the truth. We need the U. Car manufacturers are saying our car gets thirty miles to the gallon like they havent been for the past 20 years when there has been cars running on tap water since the sixties!
Inventroy means commodities machines can pick the food up transport it, store it to be later taken when needed to eat. The technology thats currently available is way beyond using manual labour.
Money is the blockade. The resources are freely avalible no control is needed. For Future Citys if construction work could not be automated we would have groups of volunteer contructionworkers helping for the mere satafiaction of their hearts. Even if only 0. I am inclined to say that until proper matury has formed withen society ie.
This alone is enough to provent It is also important to note The all weapons used for violence will be permanently destroyed. In the case of hunting and the like 3d software would be so advanced that it would be almost like the real thing in virtual reality equipment. The monitoring system is very neccissary at the start of the resource based economy mainly due to the corruption oriented monetary elites who would do anything to reclaim their control grip.
Irrelevant question no beliefs and values would be inforced. But there is no reason to do what people consider bad in a society which just helps each other. Instead of working on getting the best deal possible at any human life cost people will inherently be more social and the gains of being socially popular will be emense for a happy life.
I almost feel the need to buy a gun. I live in Arizona where just about everybody has several guns, but I still feel that I have enough liberty to NOT need one. Take your money, start building. They are never at risk it is only you who is taking the risk. In essence if you had no weapons and no way of attacking them would they attack you? From their point of view they need some people to do their labour if they want to continue their monetary control with a hidden fascist agenda.
In a world without law enforcers having guns is next to the worst possible idea. Mainly due to the casualties made entirely of accidents and other victims of murder murder would only really occur while people are set in their current primative ways. I just want to remind everyone that im in no way affiliated with the venus project currenty and the views expressed entirely my own.
Eden, I much prefer a quick death by bullet to being beaten in a bloody pulp. You might want to do a little research on the quality of life for women, children and the poor before guns.
In your vision, the people in charge of the resources and machines have the power. Or do you expect them to cheerfully give up their wealth and power to move into a little plastic cubicle in your city and put YOU in charge? The internet is next. Australia just made filters mandatory. You think its good that we live to screw each other over? How would any other world be different if the system benefits you from screwing people over?
Heck did you even watch zeitgeist? As for my question…. Whereas a man with a gun has complete power over any crowd. Most people are unable to break free from the societ from which they are born. People are not able to understand a world without money. It is a completely alien idea to them. Thus they see underlying problems with the notion itself. They see chaos. Or, funny enough, they see control via another means. Does your arm dictate the rest of your body? Or does your brain do that?
Before anyone suggests here a society without money, they should read this and this. Opinions are useless unless they are backed up with practical and workable solutions. The ultimate question is who controls the resources, tools, devices and other human beings, and how?
Once again before the urge to response, read about tyranny , responsibility , liberty , primitive society and ethics. He does NOT propose a democracy, but the machines are programmed to make all decision to benefit the planet. It is MY opinion that the people programming the machines and controlling everything will be the same people who are in control today. Check the interview on youTube. He may have been pandering to Alex. Albeit, you are doing it in a more constructive way than some people I have seen, but you are still giving your opinion as to what you think is best.
Why should your opinion be taken seriously, but mine, or others be viewed as delusional? Any change as drastic as the Venus Project will need support from a great deal of society and that is the only reason I think it would fail. The calculations here would be decided by the humans involved with the project, entering information into a computer interface. That computer would then calculate materials and resources needed, machine processes required, land requirements, ecological concerns, environmental impact, required time, etc and so on.
The information calculated would be fed back to the humans who could then design the project based around what can physically be achieved. Once the project has been thought out and revised, those calculations would then be input back into the computer and a global poll could be conducted to measure public interest in the project.
Once a final decision is made instructions would be sent to the manufacturing facilities. The computer simply decides what is the best course of action based on available resources and public opinion. All machines would be built and maintained by other machines. All materials and resources would be collected, mined, assembled, and put into production by machines receiving the instructions from the localized computers. There would be no government, there would be no elite, there would simply be a global computer network that every single person on the planet had access to, from their home, school, social establishments, or base of operations for whatever they themselves choose to do.
You can input ideas, thoughts, suggestions, or you can draw knowledge from the system. All resources on the planet would be monitored from space based satellites and earth based mechanical systems. They are simply an extension of our ingenuity and creative minds. Everybody would have a say as to what is needed, what is wanted, and what should be done on a daily basis. In todays world, the vast majority of us only ever make decisions based on what we personally need, or what our family or friends need.
Very few of us actually look at things from a global perspective. The Venus Project does. Who cares really? In a world where over one hundred million people die every single year from preventable hunger and preventable diseases, does your Fiat system or any of your ideas take them into account?
The Venus Project would eliminate pollution through the use of geothermal power and other technologies, it would eliminate a TON of waste.
Today we have 1, types of shampoo on the market because everyone is competing with everyone else. Do we need 1, types of shampoo? No, of course not. This equation would apply to every product on the planet. High efficiency, durable products that are the very best that technology can build, and we can dream up would be in use.
No price tag. Like we have libraries today, tomorrow we could have shopping centers that work the same way.
