Quote

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.

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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The entire money structure and materialistic society is a false society.
Jacque Fresco
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
You don't see the plug connected to the environment, so it looks like we're free, wandering around. Take the oxygen away, we all die immediately. Take plant life away, we die. And without the sun, all the plants die. So we are connected.

We are all victims of culture.
Jacque Fresco
Image
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.

You can never design the best city, but you can design the best city you know how to design at this time.

The Venus Project is not about new cities or new architecture. It's about a way of thinking
Jacque Fresco
Image
If you love someone and they want to leave, you help them pack. That's love
Jacque Fresco
Image
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.

Let's teach our children to be thinkers.

The teachings or the information in the Venus project is not what Jacque Fresco dictates. It’s first doing a survey of the carrying capacity of a given environment and maintaining a population in accordance of the Earth's resources, not Fresco's opinion.

It is not enough to criticize society without offering a workable alternative.
Jacque Fresco
Image
Our customs, behaviors, and values are byproducts of our culture.
Jacque Fresco
Image
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
Image
The original intent of laws was to get the masses of people to accept the limitations superimposed upon them as being the result of their own misbehavior.
Jacque Fresco

The Venus Project is a concept that could happen today but it is not up to me, it depends on what others do to help bring it about.
