Wiser, never wise. Smarter, never smart.
Jacque Fresco
If you remain conventional and don't change, you'll get along. You'll get along in the limited forms of insanity that exist out there. You'll never be able to keep a marriage together, you'll never be able to keep anything together, because the whole goddamn thing isn't together.
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
If you make a movie of the present day culture, in the future it'll be a horror film.
Jacque Fresco
You can never design the best city, but you can design the best city you know how to design at this time.
Jacque Fresco
War represents the supreme failure of nations to resolve their differences. From a strictly pragmatic standpoint, it is the most inefficient waste of lives and resources ever conceived.
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
It's hard in a monetary system to trust people.
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
Youre a rich man, why arent you smart?
Jacque Fresco
It is not that people are evil or greedy. The conditions that socially support the system force us to behave in socially offensive ways.
Jacque Fresco
Our times demand the declaration of the world's resources as the common heritage of all people.
