Jacque Fresco
'Life Philosophy, Pros & Cons of Conformity'

2
00:00:05,897 --> 00:00:08,657
Suffering may be useful in some instances.

3
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:15,102
Suffering may cause you to be careful
that you don't walk into a thorn bush.

4
00:00:16,748 --> 00:00:18,428
Nature & Interrelations

5
00:00:18,580 --> 00:00:22,771
So in this system, the total
of nature is interrelated,

6
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,948
but we don't like any part
of nature that hurts us.

7
00:00:26,462 --> 00:00:29,091
That's why you wear clothing,
an umbrella when it rains.

8
00:00:29,290 --> 00:00:31,337
You don't love nature;
I never met a nature lover.

9
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:36,040
A nature lover takes home poison ivy,
takes home everything;

10
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:38,811
he doesn't take home
the plants that he likes.

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,994
Contradictions of the System

12
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:47,457
Most people don't have enough knowledge
to know whether the system is fucked up;

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,074
they don't know the contradictions
of the system.

14
00:00:51,380 --> 00:00:54,525
The reason Eastern philosophy
takes is because

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,691
everybody alive is hungry for love,
warmth and acceptance.

16
00:00:59,900 --> 00:01:03,211
They want to come into a house
where the door is always open.

17
00:01:03,411 --> 00:01:04,730
They don't want any deals.

18
00:01:04,874 --> 00:01:06,760
Everybody wants true love,

19
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,537
total trust, total freedom,

20
00:01:10,011 --> 00:01:12,400
total belief, total devotion to one another,

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,714
but nobody has been
conditioned to give it.

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,874
Knowing / Projection

23
00:01:18,980 --> 00:01:21,754
And all your dreams,
if they were answered tomorrow,

24
00:01:21,890 --> 00:01:25,611
if you got down on your knees and prayed
for the best of possible worlds,

25
00:01:26,010 --> 00:01:29,320
you would be unhappy,
because you don't know really what you want.

26
00:01:30,417 --> 00:01:31,320
Conflict, Love, Relating

27
00:01:31,430 --> 00:01:36,160
Because sometimes if you met a guy, a girl,
that loved you, really loved you,

28
00:01:36,462 --> 00:01:40,520
and did everything that you wanted
her to do, you might dislike her.

29
00:01:40,662 --> 00:01:45,051
Because you may need a girl who says
“No, I don't go along with that.”

30
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,560
It may be the conflict that you need.

31
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,462
Those clips of Jacque Fresco are from
the Sociocyberneering Audio Collection.

32

Follow the link for the full lecture.

33
00:01:54,697 --> 00:01:58,445
We're aiming to release a new lecture
each month, either audio or video.

34
00:01:58,610 --> 00:02:02,211
We'll do a short video for each one on this
channel so make sure you're subscribed,

35
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,760
and click the bell to be notified of new uploads.

36
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,325
Hurricane cleanup is about wrapped in Venus

37
00:02:08,434 --> 00:02:11,514
and we appreciate all support
and enthusiasm for the project.

38
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,382
As Jacque said, all of us are caught
in a certain phase of civilization,

39
00:02:15,542 --> 00:02:18,060
that we can never arrive
at an ultimate society;

40
00:02:18,171 --> 00:02:19,594
we're always at some phase.

41
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,137
So the point is, what are you
going to do with this phase?
