vue - Paradise or Oblivion (The Venus Project)
Paradise or Oblivion *This is NOT the "major motion picture" that The Venus Project is working towards but rather is a 48 min. documentary to introduce the aims and proposals to new people. A free online documentary created by The Venus Project. Original music by Carly Paradis (http://www.carlyparadis.com/) from her album "They Have Been Watching". This documentary details the root causes of the systemic value disorders and detrimental symptoms caused by our current established system. This video presentation advocates a new socio-economic system, which is updated to present-day knowledge, featuring the life-long work of Social Engineer, Futurist, Inventor and Industrial Designer Jacque Fresco, which he calls a Resource-Based Economy. The film details the need to outgrow the dated and inefficient methods of politics, law, business, or any other "establishment" notions of human affairs, and use the methods of science, combined with high technology, to provide for the needs of all the world's people. It is not based on the opinions of the political and financial elite or on illusionary so-called democracies, but on maintaining a dynamic equilibrium with the planet that could ultimately provide abundance for all people. Paradise or Oblivion, by The Venus Project, introduces the viewer to a more appropriate value system that would be required to enable this caring and holistic approach to benefit human civilization. This alternative surpasses the need for a monetary-based, controlled, and scarcity-oriented environment, which we find ourselves in today.

The concept of siciolife proposed by Jacque Fresco is the absolute ideal way for humans to inhabit the earth. It is the best way for people to live and allow the planet to live its own life without us harming it. The way we live now, we are nothing more than a parasitical species who are an infection to the earth. Eventually, we will piss it off enough that it will cleanse it self of the disease that humans have become. There is only one human trait that leads us on a blind path towards self destruction. I will use three words to describe that one fatal flaw in humanity "money, greed,and profit". Eventually the world as we know it will collapse and the new world that emerges will be the world of Jacque Fresco. Congratulations on your centennial birthday.

War....
....War never changes. -
How about "Earth-ism" instead of all the other "isms"? I can't disagree with this man in what he proposes for the future.

I like it. But there's one glaring problem. We'd have to demolish our current cities and that's a tall order. And would involve so much waste in disposing of the pieces of the demolished cities - that would be a huge environmental issue. This project would only work on a new planet. Maybe one day, when we all must evacuate this planet, we could set this up on a new class M planet. But can't be done on our current planet.

and if i must be totaly onest the outcome that wil happen is a fair one to life i grant her the destany (the outcome wil be the last shal be first and the first shal be last) peoples ignorances wil destroy them as sad as i may find it i dont believe in any outcome anymore becose i know the outcome and i have always known it that was actualy my problem al the time i have always known it you can not avoid your hart so i have accepted and i am letting go now
-
i feel sad becose it al sounds great and amazing but i already know the actual answer

are spanish translations needed?

The monetary system is not equitable. It has to get really bad before people would push for a better system.

A study was done at MIT estimating how much longer society can be sustained. It was released to the public in 1972 as The Limits to Growth and has been updated over the years. Its been eerily accurate so far. We haven't got much time.
Look this up for more information: "2009 Commemorative Lecture : Dr. Dennis L. Meadows" -
Reading the comments, I can see that Fresco was right. People fear change and cannot imagine a world without everything they have always known. It is sad. I think it is a wonderful concept.

I feel that you may have hit on a preferred structure for living when you suggest that people live together where everything that they could possibly need is within reach. A person needing solitude and privacy could find and a gregarious person who prefers being around people could find others of like mind too. Old people would not have to live in units where they are fenced off and alone but could be appreciated and included. There is so much loneliness and unhappiness in the design that we have presently for living. Let's change it.

Que proyecto más lindo, Quizás lo puedan hacer en otro Pais ejemplo en Cuba quizás se pueda construir con esta nueva apertura.

I found Bernie Sanders running mate!!
-
Instead of i wish this will happen, they are doing it! providing solutions in a world of problems.
-
If people didn't need to worry about food, clothing, shelter and bills then w'd all be so much more innovative, prescient and fulfilled!
The Venus Project is the most complete solution i've ever seen for our survival as a specie, the current system that we're now living in only serves a small group of Elite corporations/families whom enslave the rest of humanity so they can live care free! -
Great idea if we colonize the moon.You gotta realize this idea is as old as socrates .He purposes love doesnt exist life has no meaning and all cultural spirituality is abolished putting aside mental illness as if it dosnt exist.its more preposterous then the Bible which at least starts with human nature Man is tempted by woman Cain kills Able.Sin and Jealously is human nature it doesnt just go away.
-
all will be fine. seems like things are going exactly as plannned
-
interesting theory.

This is a post post apocalyptic society. It almost has to happen that way. I don't see how we can have abundance without clearing the board so to speak. We can do it the easy way but with also this heat building up I am skeptical. Nature always finds a way however. I have seen this city in my dreams. I am an architect and I think if more then one person dreams the same thing it could a form of evolution that begins as an ideal. Concentric transport rings that are connected axially. Like an atomic structure. It is a very efficient. In terms of the actual buildings themselves I favor hexagonal modules. Pure circular geometry is difficult to build with even though it is the most material efficient. Rectilinear geometry is the most used because it is the easiest to build with. Hexagonal geometry optimizes between the two and that is why nature uses it. The most obvious being the beehive.

lets start with one city. show the world how its done.
