00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,381
I am from Ukraine.

3
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:13,760
People from different countries come here

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,156
just to see the Project.

5
00:00:15,260 --> 00:00:16,184
I come from Egypt.

6
00:00:16,290 --> 00:00:17,095
We’re from Nebraska.

00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:17,956

North Texas

12
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,609
800 miles, here I am, I did it.

13
00:00:22,713 --> 00:00:23,080
Mexico

14
00:00:23,255 --> 00:00:23,735
Canada

Iz Rossii [Russian]

00:00:27,340 --> 00:00:28,104
Valencia, Spain

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

22
00:00:30,250 --> 00:00:30,984
São Paulo, Brazil

23
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,332
We drove 23 hours,

24
00:00:34,467 --> 00:00:35,850
it was 100 percent worth it.

25
00:00:35,975 --> 00:00:37,089
So thank you.

26
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:40,867
So excited.

27
00:00:40,970 --> 00:00:42,695
Met so many great people here

28
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,732
and got excited with the ideas.

29
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,680
Who we are is a reflection of
the environment around us.

30
00:00:51,790 --> 00:00:53,095
That was the key for me.

31
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,689
Everything that you think about
you got from within your culture.

32
00:00:57,058 --> 00:00:59,378
Whatever value system you are given

33
00:00:59,550 --> 00:01:02,553
is to promote the culture that you’re raised in.

34
00:01:04,180 --> 00:01:06,756
I’m an industrial designer. We love design,

35
00:01:06,867 --> 00:01:09,780
we love everything about The Venus Project.

36
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,769
It's our seventh visit to The Venus Project.

37
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,590
Each one’s been better and better;
we got more knowledge, more information.

38
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:20,449
Even though Jacque is not here with us

39
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,430
Roxanne lectured,

40
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,560
showed us around.

41
00:01:25,060 --> 00:01:26,590
It was a good experience.

42
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,116
Roxanne was excellent

43
00:01:28,220 --> 00:01:30,123
and patient with everybody’s questions.

44
00:01:30,570 --> 00:01:33,821
I’m blown away with how well
Roxanne has carried the torch.

45
00:01:38,020 --> 00:01:40,535
The Resource Based Economy is certainly-...

46
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,978
If the species is going to survive
we’re going to have to go to that.

47
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,600
I don’t think there’s any question on that one,
at least not in my mind.

48
00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:49,089
We don’t have the money to even
house people all over the Earth,

49
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,640
but we have enough resources.

50
00:01:50,756 --> 00:01:53,212
That’s why we advocate for a
Resource Based Economy,

51
00:01:53,380 --> 00:01:54,615
not a money-based society.

52
00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:58,036
You know the stuff you learn here,
the books and the documentaries help,

53
00:01:58,150 --> 00:02:01,366
but actually coming here to see the buildings,
the architecture, everything,

54
00:02:01,470 --> 00:02:03,900
it’s one of the greatest
experiences of my life.

55
00:02:04,166 --> 00:02:05,730
That’s the sole reason we came out here.

56
00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:09,901
Everything that I was hoping for,

57
00:02:10,578 --> 00:02:13,156
in reality exceeded my expectation.

58
00:02:13,267 --> 00:02:15,095
This is something I talk about with everybody,

59
00:02:15,243 --> 00:02:18,596
I preach the word of The Venus Project
to everybody I bump into.

60
00:02:18,820 --> 00:02:21,680
Highly recommend it to anyone,
it will change your life.

61
00:02:22,332 --> 00:02:24,473
I want a little spot right over there.

62
00:02:25,610 --> 00:02:26,695
But the number of man-hours

63
00:02:27,220 --> 00:02:30,566
that’s been put into all the different models
and drawings, it's overwhelming.

64
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:33,540
I’m an architect and urban planning engineer.

65
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,043
I’ve been following Jacque’s work for years.

66
00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:37,323
Say about 14 years,

67
00:02:37,433 --> 00:02:40,147
so I’m very familiar with
the concept of The Venus Project.

68
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,455
A problem-solving mentality ...

69
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,283
where collaboration and extensionality is the root.

70
00:02:46,460 --> 00:02:48,123
You have to see it by your eyes.

71
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,360
A life-size concept of what it could really look like.

72
00:02:52,010 --> 00:02:55,753
Designing this way and using resources wisely means

73
00:02:55,876 --> 00:02:57,800
everybody has a high standard of living.

74
00:02:58,660 --> 00:03:00,240
Coming out here to Venus

75
00:03:00,350 --> 00:03:04,375
would be something any budding
environmentalist or social

76
00:03:04,570 --> 00:03:06,732
advocate would benefit from.

77
00:03:07,540 --> 00:03:09,378
It’s like nowhere

78
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,400
else you’ve ever been if you’re interested in

79
00:03:13,021 --> 00:03:15,464
progress, overall, for everyone.

80
00:03:15,930 --> 00:03:19,809
The lifestyle we could have is unlike
anything that we know of today.

81
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,996
People say "Well how can we eliminate
the problems that we’ve had?"

82
00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:27,243
“We’ve always had problems of war
and poverty and anger.”

83
00:03:27,380 --> 00:03:29,390
That’s because we’ve always had scarcity.

84
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:31,298
The system perpetuates scarcity

85
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,353
and the Resource Based Economy

86
00:03:33,883 --> 00:03:36,840
is to promote abundance as quickly as possible.

87
00:03:37,070 --> 00:03:39,267
And if we don’t do that we’ll have problems.

88
00:03:39,610 --> 00:03:41,390
We could have a fantastic future.
