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.

Meeting Time Change!

The next meeting will still be at the Alice & Jack Wirt Public Library in Bay City but this month it will not be the third Saturday, the 17th. There is not a date set as of now. If there are any date requests please comment to this post. As soon as a date is set an update will be posted.

The first meetings turnout was more than expected, Thanks for the support guys!
During the first meeting a lot was discussed. One of the more important topics to note were the local projects. Local projects included;

-DVD Production
-Possible Public Presentations
-Flyers
-Possible Interviews
(Along with other great ideas :)

There was also a heavy philosophical conversation which I personally love, but due to limited time during meetings these discussions will be carried on at Brewtopia (previously named Harvest)in Bay City. It's within walking distance from the library and provides a comfortable and conversation inducing environment, plus it has great coffee ;)

More information will be available soon. Thanks for the support everyone,
and remember we must "Be the change we wish to see in the world".
