The Venus Project

The Venus Project presents a bold, new direction for humanity that entails nothing less than the total redesign of our culture. There are many people today who are concerned with the serious problems that face our modern society: unemployment, violent crime, replacement of humans by technology, over-population and a decline in the Earth's ecosystems. As you will see, The Venus Project is dedicated to confronting all of these problems by actively engaging in the research, development, and application of workable solutions. Through the use of innovative approaches to social awareness, educational incentives, and the consistent application of the best that science and technology can offer directly to the social system, The Venus Project offers a comprehensive plan for social reclamation in which human beings, technology, and nature will be able to coexist in a long-term, sustainable state of dynamic equilibrium.

The plans for the Venus Project offer society a broader spectrum of choices based on the scientific possibilities inherent in current technology and direct that knowledge toward a new era of peace and sustainability for all cultures. Through the implementation of a resource-based economy, and a multitude of innovative and environmentally friendly technologies directly applied to the social system, The Venus Project proposals will dramatically reduce crime, poverty, hunger, homelessness, and many other pressing problems that are common throughout the world today.

One of the cornerstones of the organization's findings is the fact that many of the dysfunctional behaviors of today's society stem directly from the dehumanizing environment inherent in the existing monetary system. Moreover, the currently utilized random implementation of automation and other technologies have resulted in a fragmented, self-defeating trend occurring throughout the manufacturing and high-tech sectors of today's global economy--namely the technological replacement of human labor by machines. The Venus Project proposes a social system in which automation and technology would be intelligently applied and integrated into an overall social design where the primary function would be to maximize the quality of life rather than profits. This project also introduces a set of workable and acceptable human values that are more appropriate and in balance with our present state of technology.

Very intriguing and certainly worth a look.

Smells like Scientology.

wut?

It is far from Scientology.

It's a philosophical belief that's trying to redefine our culture, abolish the monetary system, as well as religious and political institutions etc.

It's against Scientology.

Meh, sounds like just another crutch.

BTW, read the intro to Scientology, it's all about redefing and freeing yourself for your betterment. Then you pay.

The site: TL;DR

The blurb: Sounds like a cult. The Luddites are at it again.

Yeah, well, The Venus Project abolishes the monetary system. So, no paying.

What does it replace it with? The barter system, or maybe it relies on a Roddenberry-esque view of humanity working for humanity for humanities sake? Excuse me if I'm a cynic.

Still sounds like Scientology or any other modern cult for that matter.

Looking at the site I've got to admit . . . they make good use of buzz words.

Roddenberry's estate could probably sue them if anyone were so inclined.

Humanity working for humanity. As, we are all one.

But only once our Thetans are aligned with the 4th dimensional properties of mono-atomic gold. We know we know.

This will never work. People like money, people like materials. The Venus Project can NEVER be successful. Banks and Governments own us all. If any type of organization were to ever threaten the system it would be cancelled, legally. Those who make the laws can break the laws. There is no reason to hope or work for peaceful change because we don't want change. We wouldn't know what to do with it. Most people know that the system is corrupt and broken. Most people know that we are merely replaceable gears in the machine but thats ok because thats the way it is and since the first civilizations, thats the way it's always been.

People like money? Haha.

What do we hear on the news? Banks failing, prices going up, our money isn't safe. Money isn't liked, because most of us hardly have any.

Legality is abolished in the Venus project, as our problems don't need laws as solutions, they need technology as solutions. We have the technology.

51% of voters are voting for Barack Obama because they do want change.

"The way it is"... I'm sure that's explained on the site, if not in Zeitgeist Addendum. What would the world be like if people thought taking 2 weeks to travel across a country on a horse was "the way it is"? I don't understand what you mean by we are replaceable gears either.

I think Lennon already sang about something like that, seems like more plagiarism. First Gene and now John, is nothing sacred to these people?

I think you'd be quite interested in this in.

That line alone is almost the trade-mark of pseudo-science

Why is it called the "Venus" project?
