Zeitgeist Addendum is probably the best documentary I ever watched. Thank you soo much for posting this up. I think I watched a documentary similar to this but it was not as good as Zeitgeist Addendum, especially when they mentioned geothermal power and how there is 13,000 ZJ in the earth alone, with over 2000 ZJ of which are extractable. It definitely provides reliable, and renewable source of electricity...
The Venus Project is very much a possibility, but it can only happen if people come out of their norms and support the resource based economy and diminishing the current corrupt monetary system.
On another note, I am concerned about the education of our young bright minds of today in a resource based economy. If there is no incentive to find work after education then what is the point. I am not defending the monetary system, but if we want the resource based economy to work, we have to think about all the different areas that will affect our lives including work and education.
The only way education can contribute to the resource based economy is to help and preserver the environment and coming up with new technology concepts that is both friendly to the environment and productive. This will all be voluntary of course, as money or trading will not exist.
Incentives and civilization are the main areas that will change and transform the society in to being free from everything, having high quality life, free from debts and not seeing anything with price tags. Although this ideology sounds promising, there will still be scarcity of resources rather than money. Millions of years from today, wouldn't resources run out ?? And if they do run out, Won't we fall back in to the situation we were to begin with....Back to the corrupt world of greed in terms of trading resources in exchange for other resources or depriving resources from others because there is a fear that it will all come to an end??
I think in all faces of life, we will face scarcity one way or another. However I do respect the idea of renewable energy and how it could provide a healthy environment, but I think this will be fortunate for those who benefit from it at the beginning, for when there is enough resources to go around but unfortunate for those later on in the days when it does run out.
Jacque Fresco also mentioned that the resource based economy will not have military force, navis, prisons or any weapons of mass destruction. If a crime does happen or a conflict does occur, if there are no laws or regulations, how will you deal with individuals who for example murder, molest under age children or even create stories between two countries and cause conflict. What are the implications of this within a resouce based economy if there are no prisons?? How will you defend yourself if someone else has a weapon and you don't ?... I guess this question will be directed to the man himself but its also open for any suggestions.
