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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

You can't be conscious unless you have variable receptors... When people say the way I see the world is the way it is - that's ridiculous. We can only see it depending on the quality of our receptors and background.

We don't know how to live together on Earth, how the hell are we going to live together on Mars?
