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

There are no negro problems, or Polish problems, or Jewish problems, or Greek problems, or women's problems, there are HUMAN PROBLEMS”.
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.

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
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.

We accept, without sufficient consideration, a system that breeds inefficiencies and actually encourages the creation of shortages.
Jacque Fresco
Image
If our system continues without modification involving environmental and social concern, we will face an economic and social break down.
Jacque Fresco
Image
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
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
There's no such thing as designing the perfect utopian city. Everything is subject to change. There are no final frontiers.
Jacque Fresco
Image
We must look at alternatives objectively, and not try to fit the future into our present social mould.
Jacque Fresco
Image
Much of a behavior acceptable today would be socially offensive in a saner or more logical arrangement.
Jacque Fresco
Image
People will continue to search for answers to universal and perplexing problems. But to find meaningful answers, one must first know what questions to ask.
Jacque Fresco
Image
Armies are created to protect an established system, not people. In the future, an educated humanity will not stand for war.
Jacque Fresco
Image
There are no bad people, there are people with insufficient information to make appropriate decisions.
Jacque Fresco
Image
There is no way you can think outside of your culture.
Jacque Fresco
Image
Wiser, never wise. Smarter, never smart.

The question is not whether there is intelligent life out there, the question is, whether there is intelligent life down here. As long as you have war, police, prisons, crime, you are in the early stages of civilization.
