More quotes by Jacque Fresco
The entire money structure and materialistic society is a false society.
Jacque Fresco
Much of a behavior acceptable today would be socially offensive in a saner or more logical arrangement.
Jacque Fresco
You cannot approach people who think differently with reason and logic if they don't know what that means. First, you have to appeal to their values to start with. If you attack them, you lose them.
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
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
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
We must look at alternatives objectively, and not try to fit the future into our present social mould.
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
You really don't want a job. What you want is access to those things you'd like to have.
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
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
If you love someone and they want to leave, you help them pack. That's love
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
The intelligent use of science and technology are the tools with which to achieve a new direction.
Jacque Fresco
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
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
Creativity is taking known elements and putting them together in unique ways
Jacque Fresco
You don't need to get rid of religion you have to outgrow the need for it. In other words, instead of hoping for the good life, you make the good life.
Jacque Fresco
When biological technology becomes further advanced, human beings as we know them, will become a modified species. If we as human beings fail to include the possibility of this development in our overall, social evolution we will witness the decline of our species
Jacque Fresco
Our customs, behaviors, and values are byproducts of our culture.
