More quotes by Jacque Fresco
It is not enough to criticize society without offering a workable alternative.
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
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
LOVE is to stop making demands on people and give them room to grow.
Jacque Fresco
Merely complaining without proposing an alternative offers nothing.
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
Your frame of reference is what you see.
Jacque Fresco
If our system continues without modification involving environmental and social concern, we will face an economic and social break down.
Jacque Fresco
We don't know how to live together on Earth, how the hell are we going to live together on Mars?
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
Truly free people do not need to be told they are free.
Jacque Fresco
It's hard to be decent in a money world. We want to shut down all repetitious jobs, automate it, free people.
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
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
There's no such thing as designing the perfect utopian city. Everything is subject to change. There are no final frontiers.
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
The Venus Project is not about new cities or new architecture. It's about a way of thinking
Jacque Fresco
Armies are created to protect an established system, not people. In the future, an educated humanity will not stand for war.
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
Only when science and technology are used with human concern in a world in which all of the earth's resources are held as the common heritage of all of the earth's people can we truly say that there is intelligent life on Earth.
