    Jacque Fresco is a self-educated structural designer, practitioner of science, concept artist, educator, and futurist. He is considered by many to be a modern-day Da Vinci. Peer to Einstein and Buckminster Fuller, Jacque is a self-taught futurist who describes himself most often as a "generalist" or multi-disciplinarian - a student of many inter-related fields. He is a prolific inventor, having spent his entire life (he is now 95 years old) conceiving of and devising inventions on various scales which entail the use of innovative technology. As a futurist, Jacque is not only a conceptualist and a theoretician, he is also an engineer and a designer.

    His organization, The Venus Project works to provide a global vision of hope for the future of humankind in our technological age. The Venus Project reflects the culmination of Jacque's life work: the integration of the best of science and technology into a comprehensive plan for a new society based on human and environmental concern. It is a global vision of hope for the future of humankind in our technological age.

    A major documentary entitled, Future By Design, on the life, designs, and philosophy of Jacque Fresco is now available at http://www.fbdthemovie.com. The film Zeitgeist Addendum featuring Mr. Fresco and The Venus Project produced by Peter Joseph was released in 2008. A sequel to this documentary Zeitgeist Moving Forward was released in 2011 featuring Mr. Fresco, his work, and direction for the future.

    Got the hints yet?

    I don't do 'hints'. I expect people to give positive replies or even negative replies. Other than that-> have a good life

    Zeitgeist and the Venus Project are nonsense and are political propaganda financed by the idiot Foster Gamboll.
     
    "...Thrive is a 2011 conspiracy theory film made by bank heir Foster Gamble. Claiming to be a documentary, the film smashes together pretty much every modern conspiracy theory in the books, including free energy suppression, UFO landings, New World Order, vaccine hysteria, 9/11 truthers, and much more, all combined to make a statement about a "Global Domination Agenda" Gamble claims controls much of the world. As seen by the proposed "solutions" (which include the dismantling of the Federal Reserve and elimination of public schools and taxes), the film is a not-so-well disguised libertarian propaganda piece..."

     As always, the very people who are warning us of a so-called threat are themselves the threat. Don't give this the time of day. The OP is a troll.

  6. Zeitgeist is nonsense and some ideas promoted by the Venus project are not feasible. However I think you're judging the man too  harshly, Jaque Fresco makes a lot of sense, and it's always a delight to see an old man (97 years old) with such a sharp mind. He is not always right, and a bit naive in some of his assumptions, but that doesn't discard everything he says or stand for.
     
  7. This is the problem: how do we deal with someone who is naive and not always right? Do we give his other ideas the benefit of the doubt because he is a sharp thinker? I have to be honest, I would not recommend it unless there is evidence elsewhere to support him that is not a part of the Venus Project or Thrive. He lives in a fantasy world, and his ideas on a new global structure are completely unworkable.

    Thrive was funded by the wealthy. Peter Joseph and jacque fresco pays funded their own and they have no relations. I felt that thrive was a copy cat of the Venus project.
    A resourced based economy is not perfect, but its alot better than our current system. I am a troll of peace, unity and exposing evil secret'ist, what? ]
     
  9. Maybe some of Jacques ideas are a lil out of date and weathered. But atleast he is on the right path. Not everything about his ideas i agree with either. But that still does not discount the fact that the people of earth needs a new way of living for all people. And yes we can create a new society were all humans are united and abolishing the money system. It won't happen over night hut it is doable.
     
  10.  
     Thrive was and is funded by Gamboll. Peter Joseph Merola is a film maker who works mainly on commissions and has been funded by a number of people, including the Ramtha cult. Both men were connected in a number of ways before the split between factions.
     
     The resource based economy is thinly veiled Marxism and does not lead to personal freedom, growth and little in the way of education. It is ultimately elitist, despite purporting to be for the masses. A poorly thought out idea that could only work in an ideal world with one single world government and everyone playing nice. Idealistic and disturbingly oppressive once you understand its full aims.
     
    "...
    The Venus Project and its proposals for social and environmental problems are featured prominently in the documentary-style film Zeitgeist: Addendum.<sup>[4]</sup> The film premiered at the 5th Annual Artivist Film Festival in Los Angeles, California on October 2, 2008.<sup>[5]</sup> It was released online for free on YouTube.<sup> </sup>Peter Joseph (MEROLA) formed the Zeitgeist Movement, and advocated the aims of the Venus Project. In 2011, an additional film, Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, was released, again featuring the Venus Project and its proposals.
    In April 2011, the Venus Project formally disassociated itself from the Zeitgeist Movement, saying it did not feel properly represented..."
     
    It carries a strongly anti-semitic undertone and is merely a political tool.

  11.  
     
     
    Uniting all earths people, And stopping wars,pollution, famine and most crimes and abolishing the monetary systems to bring in a resourced based Economy is anti-semetic amd has marxism under tones?
     
    How would you adjust the resourced based economy to better fit the needs of Earths people?
     
  12. If you aren't aware of the political motivation behind both groups then you should research them further, it is well-documented. I find it odd that you support them and don't know their intentions?
     
    MelT
     
  13.  
     
    No i dont know what "their" intentions are. Why dont you explain or show the documents ? So far i just read a bunch of personally opinions rather than facts....I support the idea of a resourced based economy, and Peter joseph and Jacque fresco are very interesting people. Other than that, i am just another earthling on this planet.
     
    Please explain rather than try and bash. Maybe we can better understand each other threw communication
     
  14.  
     
     No i dont know what "their" intentions are.
     
     That's the first problem. You have been trolling this for some time, and yet you seem to be unaware of the politics behind it. All this time and you've never, ever, come across any of the above? That's strange, you take on everything else, but somehow manage to miss the key part, yet feel well enough informed to promote it here?
     
    The second problem is that I don't deal with personal opinions unless I expressly say so. A simple search will give you reams of material agreeing with exactly what I'm saying.
     
    You can't discuss Fresco, the Venus project, or anything else concerning this subject until you learn the basics of the politics behind it all. Use google, or do a search here on the word 'Thrive', it's been discussed at length on GC before. BTW, use Peter Joseph's full name, P J Merola, it's more honest of you when we all know his real name.

    (@18:35 Mr. Merola explains why the name rant)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw9IHJNB75E
    lol...b I dont give a shit above thrive much. And all you have is how Peter only uses his first and middle name as his name ,instead of using his full name?


    Thats kinda like begging. Thrive has no connection with Peter Joseph or Jacque Fresco. I dont want to use google or this and that. Im asking you up front and all you can give me is a name change rant? Peter talks about why he uses his first and middle name instead of also using his last name. Its no secret. lol ... What else do you got? Maybe you can break it down for me so we can see where you misunderstand


    And my bad for not knowing the difference of their there etc. I always had a hard time with those words. Sorry to offend you

    Ahhh, you know nothing and really don't care, you just want to troll. 
     
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is a troll thread, avoid responding. Please read more about Thrive and the connections that the above is unaware of at sites such as: http://thrivedebunked.wordpress.com/
     
    We're done.

    How about you show some proof that thrive and jacque fresco have any type of connections. Thrive is a knock off of The venus project. All the while Thrive shows all this cool technology but they lack a solution. Please understand that Peter joseph and Jacque fresco have no relations or connection with Thrive or its creator.
     
    What else?

  19. \tPhony Society - Propaganda & Mindless Entertainment - Jacque Fresco
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THO5geunRY0
    Everything in society is merely propaganda geared towards the preservation of existing institutions. Culture conditioning is used to instill and later uphold a set of principles or philosophy via indoctrination.
    We ostracize those who disagree or challenge our beliefs with great prejudice so it's hard if not impossible to reason with a person of different views.
    Our communication is subject to interpretation unlike mathematics and we often talk at one another rather than to one another.
