More quotes by 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
Lack of education turns soldiers into killing machines.
Jacque Fresco
Anthropology studies different cultures mainly primitive, but it doesn't think its own culture is primitive, unfortunately. There is no field that you can study today that isn't trapped in the culture in some way. It's hard to escape your culture.
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.

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.

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
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
We live in a world where our social system is old, our language is old, the way we acquire goods and services is outdated, our cities are detrimental to our health, chaotic and a tremendous waste of resource, and most of all our politics and values no longer serve us.
Jacque Fresco
Nicola Tesla didn't say, 'I have to make wireless electricity!' The brain does not work that way.
Jacque Fresco
There's no way to design a society that's optimal or utopian. It's better than the one that was. Systems always undergo change.
Jacque Fresco
Much of a behavior acceptable today would be socially offensive in a saner or more logical arrangement.
Jacque Fresco
It's hard in a monetary system to trust people.
Jacque Fresco
If technology does not liberate all people for the pursuit of higher aspirations in human achievement, then all its technical potential will be meaningless.
Jacque Fresco
It is not enough to criticize society without offering a workable alternative.
Jacque Fresco
It’s your own expectations that hurt you. Not the world you live in. Whatever happens in the world is real. What you think should happen is unreal. So people are hurt by their expectations. You know , you’re not disappointed by the world, you are disappointed by your own projections.
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
Our times demand the declaration of the world's resources as the common heritage of all people.
Jacque Fresco
If you love someone and they want to leave, you help them pack. That's love
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.
