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.

Image
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.

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.

Our customs, behaviors, and values are byproducts of our culture.
Jacque Fresco
Image
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.

The Venus Project is not about new cities or new architecture. It's about a way of thinking
Jacque Fresco
Image
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
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.

You know that you can't go out there and change the world tomorrow morning. It just takes time, and the realization of that does not produce frustration. What produces frustration, is when you expect the world to join with your cause it's so reasonable. It is not reasonable to unreasonable people.
