1
00:00:00,736 --> 00:00:02,848
What I'm trying to say here is

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,861
that The Zeitgeist Movement really operates on multiple levels

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,913
and we need to figure out ways to increase those levels.

4
00:00:10,227 --> 00:00:13,120
Let's assume for a moment that we could never obtain

5
00:00:13,372 --> 00:00:16,603
a resource-based economy - hypothetic. Let's assume for a moment

6
00:00:17,046 --> 00:00:19,440
that that's just not going to happen.

7
00:00:19,753 --> 00:00:22,584
Does that mean the values of the Movement are not applicable?

8
00:00:22,793 --> 00:00:24,313
Does that mean that

9
00:00:24,670 --> 00:00:28,812
promoting the idea that we should relate things to physical referents,

10
00:00:28,929 --> 00:00:31,120
to the planet, and using science

11
00:00:31,427 --> 00:00:35,932
can't be also utilized in ... detached ways?

12
00:00:36,095 --> 00:00:39,926
Does that mean the philosophy of taking everything into account

13
00:00:40,101 --> 00:00:44,818
and understanding peoples' indoctrinations and what generates aberrant behavior,

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,945
does that mean all of that information is thrown out the window

15
00:00:47,970 --> 00:00:50,529
if we can not obtain a Resource-Based Economy?

16
00:00:50,707 --> 00:00:53,870
The point at hand is that we're shaping behavior all the time.

17
00:00:54,252 --> 00:00:57,649
And even if we affect one person in a way

18
00:00:57,750 --> 00:01:01,686
that enlightens their worldview to see each other more as equals,

19
00:01:01,790 --> 00:01:06,627
to see the need to be sustainable with a direct physical referent,

20
00:01:06,744 --> 00:01:10,320
to listen to the natural world and appreciate what

21
00:01:10,596 --> 00:01:14,627
the beauty of science has to offer about ... the world we live in,

22
00:01:14,744 --> 00:01:16,283
about how we view the world.

23
00:01:16,492 --> 00:01:19,500
If we can simply get one person to take that view,

24
00:01:19,526 --> 00:01:21,778
I think we've hit a unique accomplishment.

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,476
So keep that in mind a little bit

26
00:01:23,587 --> 00:01:26,640
when you think about what your involvement in the Movement actually is.

27
00:01:26,670 --> 00:01:29,870
Realize that it's a multi-faceted position of influence.

28
00:01:29,993 --> 00:01:34,003
There is no ... endgame. It's not just "Ooh, a Resource-Based Economy!"

29
00:01:34,084 --> 00:01:37,772
We're doing something of a cultural significance

30
00:01:37,883 --> 00:01:41,120
that I think is deeply profound and transitional

31
00:01:41,741 --> 00:01:43,656
in our educational processes.

32
00:01:43,686 --> 00:01:46,929
And, this is probably self-evident to most of you out there,

33
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:49,040
but I feel the need to state it. So there it is.
