What is the Zeitgeist Movement?

THE GOAL

We intend to restore the fundamental necessities and environmental awareness of the species through the advocation of the most current understandings of who and what we truly are, coupled with how science, nature and technology (rather than religion, politics, and money) hold the keys to our personal growth, not only as individual human beings but as a civilization, both structurally and spiritually.

THE CURRENT SYSTEM

We live in a society that produces scarcity. The consequence of this is that human beings must behave in self-preserving ways, even if it means they have to cheat and steal in order to get what they want. The monetary system REWARDS scarcity, waste, pollution, and overproduction.

WHAT MUST BE DONE

We must begin to transition out of these oppressive ideals and move towards a system which is designed to support human beings...not force them to fight in order to survive. Our current methods of social conduct have proven to have no chance in resolving the problems of environmental destruction, human conflict, poverty, corruption, or any other issue the reduces the possibility of collective human sustainability on our planet. The bottom line is that in order to change things for the better fundamentally, you must begin to address the root causes. We have to start somewhere. The most important step is education.

THE VENUS PROJECT

Consisting of the life work of social engineer Jacque Fresco, The Venus Project constitutes the application of the scientific method for social concern. Through the humane application of Science and Technology to social design and decision-making, we have the means to transform our tribalistic, scarcity driven, corruption filled environment into something exceeding more organized, balanced, humane, sustainable, and productive.

    Hello from Seattle,

    Just wanted drop by and drop a link to the 2010 US Social Forum being hosted in Michigan. It would be a great opportunity to reach out and represent. Please attend this event if you can.

In the current Monetary System profit and the concentration of wealth is an uncompromising motive which is pursued at the expense of human well-being, efficiency, and environmental harmony. War, poverty, disease, scarcity, crime, and corruption are not accidental complications of the current system, but esxpected atrocities due to the nature of our system. Critical observation reveals that our current social and economic system is in direct conflict with our health, progress, and sustainability. We also understand that being critical of the current system without having an underlying direction and solution, is mere complaint. The Zeitgeist Movement and The Venus Project offer both critique and possible solutions, as well as being open to other possibilities to improve life.
