this was mentioned in the 2nd zeitgeist documentary. it actually seems like a really cool idea, that will probably never happen, but definitally seems possible.

i see both sides. there just has to be a better way than what the world is heading towards now. i know that zeitgeist has some flaws in it, but i feel its mostly for good and not for conspiracy or definitally not a hoax.

alright this is taken straight from what you sent

Before we go anywhere, I want to talk about The Venus Project and before you read my analysis I would appreciate it if you read this part first.

First of all, as I described on my about page, I am a huge believer in technology. The first time I heard of The Venus Project was around late 2000 and from the beginning I was in love with the idea of putting technology in a position to help us rather than hold us back. And as I investigated this whole idea more, I found a lot of people confused the idea with communism, socialism, or whatever their latest hate was.

The Venus Project, in essence, is Technocracy, which you can learn about on Wikipedia and at the Technocratic Movement's web site. The only difference between the two is how Jacque Fresco and Technocracy, Inc. thought production should be tracked. A concept so small and unimportant it's a shame, to me anyway, that Jacque Fresco is no longer a member of Technocracy, Inc.

Whether you choose to support the Venus Project or Technocracy Inc. doesn't matter, so long as you keep the conspiracy bullshit out of the current technocratic (or "resource based economy") movement. It is hard enough to discuss technocracy and The Venus Project with people, we do not need to also talk about conspiracies. Whether you like it or not, conspiracy theories scare people away, period.

Please, do not bring the Zeitgeist movement into the technocratic movement, you will hold it back and push people away.

the guy who wrote this supports it. i didnt say i supported zeitgeist, because there are many flaws with the movies (id say 90% of them are in the first one) i like what the venus project promotes. sure its very hard to think of it working now but thats because its never been tried. trial and error could find some way of makin this possible, i mean yea its farfetched to say everything the venus project says is possible. but seriously you dont think theres any steps towards it we could make for the earth's sake, especially the nature aspects of it.
