00:00:05,272 --> 00:00:06,810
One way or another,

3
00:00:06,950 --> 00:00:10,360
we will end up in a system that's not based on money

4
00:00:10,450 --> 00:00:11,600
as we know it today.

5
00:00:11,715 --> 00:00:12,260
Why?

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,040
Because that will be realized, in the future, by historians

7
00:00:15,180 --> 00:00:19,366
as the total and pivotal cause

8
00:00:19,486 --> 00:00:22,300
of the destruction of civilization as we know it.

00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:30,885
www.thezeitgeistmovement.com Presents for The Venus Project

10
00:00:31,385 --> 00:00:32,986
We're not born with prejudice,

11
00:00:33,066 --> 00:00:36,964
and bigotry, and anger, and greed.

12
00:00:37,104 --> 00:00:41,000
It's really generated and nurtured by the environment that we live in.

13
00:00:41,411 --> 00:00:44,560
That's why we feel that unless you change your environment,

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,100
and change the experiences, we'll get the same aberrant

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,500
behavior within people, unless the environment is changed.

16
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:58,250
www.thezeitgeistmovement.com Presents for The Venus Project

17
00:00:58,750 --> 00:01:02,856
People always ask, "How much will it cost to put up these new cities?"

18
00:01:02,996 --> 00:01:05,224
"Do we have the resources to do it?"

19
00:01:05,364 --> 00:01:06,000
That's the question.

20
00:01:06,130 --> 00:01:07,365
Not, "How much does it cost?"

21
00:01:07,405 --> 00:01:11,200
That's the old question, during the monetary system.

22
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:13,350
www.thezeitgeistmovement.com Presents for The Venus Project

23
00:01:13,607 --> 00:01:15,402
I don't want to see humanity suffer,

24
00:01:15,542 --> 00:01:17,670
I don't want to see the population

25
00:01:17,710 --> 00:01:20,708
start to shrink because of our lack of energy and food.

26
00:01:20,848 --> 00:01:22,760
I don't want to see these things happen,

27
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:26,680
but I know, sadly, that a good portion of it is gonna happen,

28
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:30,150
until people start to wake up and recognize

29
00:01:30,290 --> 00:01:32,045
a new paradigm that's on the horizon

30
00:01:32,185 --> 00:01:36,300
that we must drive forward to as fast as humanly possible.

31
00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:42,700
People don't understand the tremendous advantages,

32
00:01:42,835 --> 00:01:45,532
that technology, if used intelligently

33
00:01:45,672 --> 00:01:48,068
if we use the same kind of intelligence

34
00:01:48,208 --> 00:01:50,404
that we use in military development,

35
00:01:50,544 --> 00:01:53,707
we could have solved many social problems years ago.

36
00:01:53,847 --> 00:01:54,700
We don't.

37
00:01:55,148 --> 00:01:59,000
Because of the separate disciplines of science.

The Venus Project

39
00:02:04,291 --> 00:02:08,055
The Venus Project is not only about cities though.

40
00:02:08,195 --> 00:02:12,826
If we took the same people and moved them into beautiful cities,

41
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:15,295
without a change of direction,

42
00:02:15,435 --> 00:02:19,266
a change of social design, and a value system,

43
00:02:19,406 --> 00:02:27,000
we'd still have wars, poverty, hunger, crime, and territorial disputes.

44
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:31,185
www.thezeitgeistmovement.com Presents for The Venus Project

45
00:02:31,685 --> 00:02:33,981
So, I hate to sound condescending and negative,

46
00:02:34,121 --> 00:02:36,650
I hate to throw out all this rhetoric

47
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:39,686
but, I'm fairly irritated at this point,

48
00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:41,321
and I try not to be.

49
00:02:41,461 --> 00:02:44,992
I just want to make it understood that the entire system

50
00:02:45,132 --> 00:02:48,262
that we live in is a sham. It's a false system.

51
00:02:48,402 --> 00:02:51,532
Falsivity defined by the fact that it cannot be sustained.

52
00:02:51,672 --> 00:02:52,643
It's that simple.

53
00:02:52,773 --> 00:02:54,735
And we propose a Resource Based Economy.

54
00:02:54,875 --> 00:02:57,671
I hope everyone watching this film will go to

www.thezeitgeistmovement.com

56
00:03:01,381 --> 00:03:03,310
and understand what we're doing.

57
00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:06,580
I hope everyone out there will understand that,

58
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,200
either we change or we die.

59

60
00:03:13,794 --> 00:03:17,057
It's amazing how simple their associative system is.

61
00:03:17,197 --> 00:03:19,546
People say, you know, they think they had a conscience

62
00:03:19,666 --> 00:03:21,462
guys who turned the gas chambers on.

63
00:03:21,602 --> 00:03:23,864
They had no conscience, didn't bother them at all.

64
00:03:24,004 --> 00:03:24,832
Not at all.

65
00:03:24,972 --> 00:03:30,871
The guy that didn't sleep well was the humanist, troubled by all this.

66
00:03:31,011 --> 00:03:32,806
See, the humanist doesn't understand

67
00:03:32,946 --> 00:03:35,142
that a human being can be conditioned

68
00:03:35,282 --> 00:03:38,212
to cut up people, torture them, do anything,

69
00:03:38,352 --> 00:03:40,748
anything, without feeling any kind of pain at all.

70
00:03:40,888 --> 00:03:42,983
In fact, waiting for the next event.

71
00:03:43,123 --> 00:03:45,953
Nobody out there is to be blamed for their behavior,

72
00:03:46,093 --> 00:03:47,600
is what I'm trying to say.

73
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:50,100
Wake Up! Time is Now!

74
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:53,133
