We have more than enough to take care of everybody on earth at this time. If we have a shortage of anything, it's very easy for science to make a substitute material. There's no shortage of anything except brains in Washington.

More quotes by Jacque Fresco
You have to take in the whole picture, and ask, What is it you want? What kind of world do you want? So, I have drawings of different cities. Those cities have an end goal they're not just cities. The end goal of those cities is to make things relevant to people that they respond to. There's no other way.
Jacque Fresco
We must look at alternatives objectively, and not try to fit the future into our present social mould.
Jacque Fresco
Laws do not stop crime they merely make noise about crime. They say 'Don't take anything that doesn't belong to you'. Well, that doesn't do anything.
Jacque Fresco
The question is not whether there is intelligent life out there, the question is, whether there is intelligent life down here. As long as you have war, police, prisons, crime, you are in the early stages of civilization.

We are not taught to be thinkers, but reflectors of our culture. Let's teach our children to be thinkers.
Jacque Fresco
You know that you can't go out there and change the world tomorrow morning. It just takes time, and the realization of that does not produce frustration. What produces frustration, is when you expect the world to join with your cause it's so reasonable. It is not reasonable to unreasonable people.
Jacque Fresco
The majority of the people of the world today are unsane, not insane, unsane meaning having been exposed to methods of evaluation that have long rendered obsolete.
Jacque Fresco
The Venus Project is neither Utopian nor Orwellian, nor does it reflect the dreams of impractical idealists. Instead, it presents attainable goals requiring only the intelligent application of what we already know. The only limitations are those which we impose upon ourselves.
Jacque Fresco
As long as superstition and ignorance prevail, humanity will fall short of eradicating war, poverty, and hunger.
Jacque Fresco
There isn't anything that is said that 'someone' won't take issue with.
Jacque Fresco
It's hard to be decent in a money world. We want to shut down all repetitious jobs, automate it, free people.
Jacque Fresco
There is no way you can think outside of your culture.
Jacque Fresco
It is not enough to criticize society without offering a workable alternative.
Jacque Fresco
We could either develop paradise on Earth or oblivion wipe ourselves out, only the future will tell. It's what you do to make the future.
Jacque Fresco
I'd declare all the world's resources as a common heritage of all the world's people and get them to join and become one nation who takes care of the environment, the earth, the atmosphere. I'd abolish all separate nations because they are all corrupt.
Jacque Fresco
Working with drug addicts, alcoholics, and so-called juvenile delinquents in New York City convinced me that instead of working with individuals, more effective methods would deal with the societal conditions that create dysfunctional behaviors in the first place.
Jacque Fresco
We have the technology to build a global paradise on earth, and at the same time, we have the power to end life as we know it. I am a futurist. I cannot predict the actual future - only what it can be if we manage the earth and its resources intelligently.
Jacque Fresco
Man, in the collective sense, is the hero of science. Man, in the collective sense, is the hero of Earth.
Jacque Fresco
The Venus Project is not about new cities or new architecture. It's about a way of thinking

We are all victims of culture.
