More quotes by Jacque Fresco
Merely complaining without proposing an alternative offers nothing.
Jacque Fresco
We are all victims of culture.
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 accept, without sufficient consideration, a system that breeds inefficiencies and actually encourages the creation of shortages.
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
LOVE is to stop making demands on people and give them room to grow.
Jacque Fresco
Lack of education turns soldiers into killing machines.
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
We can work out anything if we put our mind to it, study it, do hard work instead of finding simple answers
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
If you're shipwrecked on an island with 10 million dollars and your wife has gold and diamonds, but there's no water, no arable land, no fish, you have nothing. Money is a 'nothing' thing.
Jacque Fresco
Man, in the collective sense, is the hero of science. Man, in the collective sense, is the hero of Earth.
Jacque Fresco
I am afraid to live in the society we live in today. Our society cannot be maintained by this type of incompetency.
Jacque Fresco
The future is our responsibility, but change will not take place until the majority loose confidence in their dictator’s and elected officials’ ability to solve problems. It will likely take an economic catastrophe resulting in enormous human suffering to bring about true social change.
Jacque Fresco
The government means industry, if you know what I mean.
Jacque Fresco
You really don't want a job. What you want is access to those things you'd like to have.
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
Wiser, never wise. Smarter, never smart.
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
If you make a movie of the present day culture, in the future it'll be a horror film.
