What are your thoughts on this film? I found it very entertaining but I'm currently reading on the validity. Also, what do you guys think about Peter Joseph's ideas such as The Venus Project?

won't work, but maybe someday, like in a hundred years, something similar could happen though.

Explain zeit to me in 100 words or less. this shit is always so fucking complicated.

Yeah of course it is a very ideal civilization and I do agree that our way of living is definitely not sustainable. However, in what way could we make the transition? Peter Joseph is also very vague in the basis of his ideas.

From what I understand, their movement and ideology of their Venus Project is that our way of living is not sustainable and that every part of the world must unite for a 'resource based' economy to protect the planet. Also that robots should do all the work or some shit i don't know

Do you know what a pipe dream is?

>Centralize the worlds resources
>Create mass excess.
>Get free shit
>ROBOTS do everything.

>Utopia

Their biggest problem is that they treat technology like magic, all they do is draw pictures of circular cities and what they think a hover car might look like. At least the communists tried to ground themselves in reality.

it could work if it was whites only society.

Venus project is what happens when socialism runs amock and it can't work because it ignores the fact that humans respond to incentive and if you remove incentive then no one works. We see this with welfare all the time, you subsidize a behaviour and you get more of it.

I watched this like 7-8 years ago? was the first of its kind that I had come across at the time and got my thinking about 9/11 so I can thank it for being a catalyst in that regard which led to many other things but the Venus project is laughable and I completely forgot about it

Has the Venus project even got off the ground? does it even have any real investors? I would think by now we would have heard something, I'll assume everyone he tried to convince that could have helped them knew it was a complete pipe-dream and walked away

retarted, resource based economy is an extremely flawed system. because of how everyone perceives the utilitarian value of resources differently, it will not hold the same facilitation value as currency. The old bastard, who hasn't been able to get it up without the help of Viagra since he was 14 being a beta fuckhead, is trying to create a utopia. Capitalism does not aim to create Utopia, but we have Disney World, and that is modeled as "the greatest place on earth." So fuck this idiot who cannot into economics at all. Ever.

My brother bought all his vids. I laughed at them at first, but his views that we should eventually be able to live enjoyable lives while our technology works for us seems very likely. How ever far down the road those days may be.

Venus Project and Zeitgeist Movement splitted.
