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.

Important April update


I have not been as organized lately and am falling behind on updates. I will take this extra week to resituate objectives and organize myself a bit more. I sencerly apologize for this. 
This Months meeting is going to be a week late and also there have been scheduling complications with the community room at the A. & J. Wirt library. I was told that summer is really busy for the main community room bookings. Mostly with childrens reading programs and events of this nature so i feel a bit like meetings should be moved.
***We will be meeting at the fireplace on the first floor from now on and having the meeting either there or in a study room on the second floor.***
Id also like some feed back.. there are two meets a month. a project workshop the first saturday of the month and the main meeting (usually) the third saturday. we are planning walks to hand out dvds and promote change downtown bay city. Do you think these walks should be after the first meet? (the project workshop) Or after the monthly meet on the third sat?
thanks for your time guys.

Zeitgeist: Moving Forward

:) Fellow Zeitgeisters I am in the process of planning a theatrical release for Zeitgeist: Moving Forward. I will update this post for times and location in the near future. At the bottom of this post there is the official trailer for ZMF, enjoy :)




Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, by director Peter Joseph, is a feature length documentary work which will present a case for a needed transition out of the current socioeconomic monetary paradigm which governs the entire world society.

This subject matter will transcend the issues of cultural relativism and traditional ideology and move to relate the core, empirical "life ground" attributes of human and social survival, extrapolating those immutable natural laws into a new sustainable social paradigm called a "Resource-Based Economy".

THEATRICAL RELEASE - Zeitgeist: Moving Forward is planned to be released in 60+ countries and in 20+ languages starting January 15th 2011. This large scale release is not associated with any major distributor.

DVD/INTERNET RELEASE - This is a non-commercial project, which means it will be available for free acquisition via internet in both viewing form and full DVD download. ZeitgeistMovingForward.com will also have a physical $5.00 DVD available in mid to late January.
