Today we have access to highly advanced technologies. But our social and economic system has not kept up with our technological capabilities that could easily create a world of abundance, free of servitude and debt.
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 there are prisons, police, armies, navies we are not civilized. When the Earth joins together and uses the Earth intelligently, that will be the beginning of civilization.
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.

If there's a group like Amish people, that want to live their own lifestyle – they don't want to live in our city – they want to live out in the country, with their own projects. We’ll put up the buildings for them, design the buildings for them, design the food production systems for them – if they want us to. But we don’t control them.
Jacque Fresco
The system you're brought up under tries to make you like the people that succeeded in that system.
Jacque Fresco
The uncreative mind can spot the wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot the wrong questions The question has never been: Do we have the money? The question has always been: Do we have the resources?
Jacque Fresco
To be human is to care for your fellow human beings and protecting the environment.
Jacque Fresco
Armies are created to protect an established system, not people. In the future, an educated humanity will not stand for war.
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
Wiser, never wise. Smarter, never smart.
Jacque Fresco
