00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,710
Set the Record Straight
from the seminars of Jacque Fresco

2
00:00:06,864 --> 00:00:09,580
If you want a better world, you have to move in that direction.

3
00:00:09,691 --> 00:00:12,666
You have to give up the things that prevent the world from becoming better.

4
00:00:13,070 --> 00:00:16,624
When people got sick and began to die, they said "It's the wrath of God!

5
00:00:16,883 --> 00:00:19,219
They're sick, they're being punished", or "That's their karma."

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,958
But the research attitude of the scientist says "Karma bullshit!

7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:28,140
There's probably some swamp of mosquitoes with malaria, or rats- something!"

8
00:00:28,426 --> 00:00:31,690
Or "There's a lot of food growing here and the soil is exhausted

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,337
in iron and manganese,

10
00:00:33,489 --> 00:00:36,426
and these people are suffering from malnutrition and have brain damage",

11
00:00:36,617 --> 00:00:40,780
not because it's their karma, which is strictly fascist horseshit!

12
00:00:40,937 --> 00:00:46,140
And it's because that men haven't taken on the responsibility of saying

13
00:00:46,255 --> 00:00:48,179
"Let's make the world a better place"

14
00:00:48,289 --> 00:00:50,170
rather then get down on your knees and saying

15
00:00:50,285 --> 00:00:53,988
"Let us have no more war, and let us have a brotherhood of man,

16
00:00:54,118 --> 00:00:56,434
and let our neighbors be peaceful and lovable..."

17
00:00:56,643 --> 00:00:59,005
All you have to do is be lovable and peaceful

18
00:00:59,154 --> 00:01:01,485
and discourage war-like attitudes.

19
00:01:01,630 --> 00:01:05,028
This is a job that religion ought to be involved in.

20
00:01:05,474 --> 00:01:07,748
If you believe that there is a supreme being,

21
00:01:07,950 --> 00:01:11,440
the supreme being would want you to do the things that bring about

22
00:01:11,565 --> 00:01:14,209
the brotherhood of man on earth.
Not pray for it; DO it!

23
00:01:14,331 --> 00:01:17,794
Don't pray for good corn crops;
dig and irrigate the ground!

24
00:01:17,935 --> 00:01:21,424
Grow healthy food. Do the best you can to take care of life.

25
00:01:22,038 --> 00:01:26,194
Men of science try to find answers, not merely say

26
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:28,232
"Well, I hope you'll have a happy new year..."

27
00:01:28,340 --> 00:01:31,114
Why don't you buy him an encyclopedia or a set of books

28
00:01:31,230 --> 00:01:34,163
or good music or something that will make his life happier?

29
00:01:34,304 --> 00:01:36,020
Here's where you get the message real hard.

30
00:01:36,131 --> 00:01:41,034
Suppose I went to a doctor with ... gangrene in this region of the leg,

31
00:01:41,171 --> 00:01:43,840
and the doctor says "Sit down," took out all his instruments,

32
00:01:43,950 --> 00:01:46,760
put them on the table (very sincere doctor) and he said

33
00:01:46,885 --> 00:01:51,194
"Believe me, I hope your infection goes away, I really hope it does."

34
00:01:51,310 --> 00:01:53,417
Then he gets up and walks away!

35
00:01:53,977 --> 00:01:57,137
Well, this is what the language of 'normal' people sounds like to me.

36
00:01:57,380 --> 00:02:00,000
The job is to get up off your ass and go to work.

37
00:02:01,410 --> 00:02:05,410
Ready to go to work?
