His way of communicating is so precise and spot on.. We really need more people with his understanding. Watch all his lectures (old lectures as well), they are all golden.

[@graceandmarvellouswonders6249]

Agreed

'war is the maximum expression of ignorance'

[@logistiekoperator4552]

Unfortunately not per se, harmful people have to be stopped. Looking at the state of the world realisticly its not a utopia. One have to be hiding their head in the sand.. we have a long way to go as a collective.

[@djodymorris5541]

I'm not alone. He thinks in a way that others do not. I go through life frustrated with people who are closed to the idea that this way of life couldn't be different.

[@FINgaming1000]

That is called cultural conditioning and it is hard to break because of the propaganda that has been continued since you are born

[@lohst1672]

is it weird I always relate to anything Jacque says or think the similar way? I'm so saddened by his death, I knew it would come sooner than later. now I feel like I have to study and lead a similar life as he, since he's given me more insight on why I am like I am. it's not like it's hard to understand his logic and reasoning it's just you don't think of it as often because of obviously the environment your brought up in. but if I can make myself study similar topics he mentions or talks about then maybe I can help influence culture around me and make the world a better place. rip Jacque, you inspired me and always will. Venus project will happen. & thank you Roxanne & whoever runs this channel. hope to visit you guys in Florida some day.

[@pencil6913]

Alex Saylor yes!

[@mikel6698]

Alex Saylor I'm with you there buddy. Saw him 2 weeks before he passed. Go see the center anyways. You will love it - i promise.

[@philipz308]

We call for a straightforward approach to the redesign of a culture, in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt, environmental degradation and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but totally unacceptable. The Venus Project is a veritable blueprint for the genesis of a new world civilization, one that is based on human concern and environmental reclamation. One fundamental premise is that we work towards having all of the Earth’s resources as the common heritage of all the world’s people. Anything less will simply result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems inherent in the present system.

[@acegriessen]

I will do all i can to share his words to as many people i can and debate it. I want the Jacque Fresco world

[@TheVenusProjectGlobal]

Thank you

[@therealKINDLE]

Yes me too. I first realized that scarcity created aberrant behavior when I saw Geese pecking each others throats to stop them swallowing when the bread on the ground was dwindling. There is a video on You tube where a Spider in distress with dust on its feet becomes sedate once it realises the human was removing it carefully. And the zoologist who pets/strokes sharks she removed hooks from who clearly show pleasurable mechanisms.. yet humans STILL treat them as monsters as a result of Jaws 1975. Our values are all screwed up.

[@acegriessen]

@@therealKINDLEi agree so much with what you say. The sharks thing especially. Everyone fear sharks because of hollywood. While its at most 5 shark related deaths a year worldwide while millions in the water (dogs, horses, snakes, mosquitos, thunder all more). And humans kill roughly 200 million sharks a year. yes so only thing we can do is share and discuss. It will take a long time or a big catastrophy before we will get anywhere near jacque's vision. It Takes many drops of water to create a tsunami wave, yet they still contain all those drops. You are that drop, i am, thats 2 already 😉 Until that time... we will find eachother here.

[@TheVenusProjectGlobal]

@@therealKINDLE yes our values today are no beneficial for humans or the environment we require to live (Peter tvp volunteer)

[@chastitywhiterose]

Jacque is right. Violence doesn't get to the root of the problem. It just promotes more violence usually based on revenge. Killing the person doesn't get rid of the belief/ideology/worldview etc.

More great information from Jacque. Truly the wisest human being I have ever come across in any aspect of life.

[@TheVenusProjectGlobal]

@desredmon well stated, because few seem to look at things from the point of view that it is one's own 'value system' in appraising a situation. But i think you misunderstand key points. It isn't to ignore the past or a threat-it's HOW we respond that will determine if we attain a short term personal gain, or a long term improvement in society. Jacque speaks about punitive methods as insufficient in dealing with the causes. We should ask what CONDITIONS made the 'crime' ?

[@mariuspet89]

He should lived 100 years more !

[@markosgraveyard]

You don't seem to understand what Fresco is saying. Robing a store is something someone does for a reason behind some other reason, it's more complicated than just an "evil" person that robs a store, just because that's why the way it is. I'll try to get this simple: If there are no bank robberies, then there is no reason for police to exist. If a man is fed and housed and educated for free, then there is no reason to steal anything. Think about it.

[@headrat1]

People steal because money exists

[@Dave_of_Mordor]

[@asickvision5437]

Esta es la pieza audiovisual definitiva por excelencia en KZbin

[@davybjohnson1990]

That's a very true point when Jacque mentions the exposure of the environment on a person because my father came from Pakistan to live in Scotland and he starts to develop a Scottish accent and also the culture from Scotland, such as the food he eats and the clothes he wore.

[@MrSPECTRUM7]

[@BLACKBejaminButton1]

Ur the man Jacque! i hope u have ppl that will continue your teachings when u are no longer able to do so

[@SicMick7]

The greatest shame is that there are more views for trivial videos that do not relate to the crisis' of the world as does these videos. People like to remain ignorant to things that are true as they see bliss in doing so, however ignorance never solved anything nor does politics. Great stuff, Jacque. Been learning a lot through these videos and I thank you for that.

[@enlighteneveryone]

Rare for someone to speak on with wisdom as his agenda. Wisdom = To teach/learn the value of life. He does it in a way that it can allow you to be like him, become wise, if you just watch his videos over and over again. It takes repetition for our culturally forgettable mind to actually adapt to what the mind use to be. He had it good to learn while also able to talk to the people (he even talked to Einstein and WW1 people), so his repetition was experience. Eventually everyone will learn right

[@echerechesiu]

The very concept of "Attack" implies a difference in interests and the failure of what we call communication today (if we talk about human society) Jacque Talks about TESTING even your values, given the premise of well being for all mankind Punishment is just a factor that exists in this paradigm (today). How can you improve anything if you don't fail in the first place... even so we need to consider the consequence of our failures in the future.. and get to the ROOT of the problem.

[@j1223aw]

Excellent

[@Conibeer]

@MasAppealTheGreat He commented on India and using a different version of his circular city (an interlinked city network) and reallocating resources to the most densely populated areas He could've said more, this is what I remember from the top of my head

[@upperech3lon]

At 2:34 the subtitle says implicated, but the word Jacque said was actually inculcated. Which means - to implant by repeated statement or admonition; teach persistently and earnestly (usually followed by upon or in ): to inculcate virtue in the young.

[@WayneWilberforce]

Brilliant cheers r.I.p.p Jacque fresco Rest in paradise peace brother will meet soon

[@shreymahar]

"does not make a judgment until verifiable"... 'we' (in our capacities) need to make such a value system favorable to most (all) people, by making such an environment available for others to evaluate it (if they are unaware), without 'any' feeling of causticity or threat... it's a failure when we forget that 'all' the core inventions were 'made' possible when people worked under such a value system (by natural laws), it's time society adopts it. Also, Jacque Fresco deserves a chance he needs...

[@tonywarrior]

Epic quote: "I don't know what the word "sin" means, but I do know this: Erroneous values can cause unbelievable suffering amongst people".

[@Jinsun202]

The suggestion of neglecting certain types of literature in order to promote a more positive and productive future was also suggested in Plato's "Republic" by the removal of certain types of poetry. I agree with it. Great video overall.

[@BEAST1CARL]

Thx Jacques, really liked this one

[@FRalph8]

Exactly, "the killing of a man never destroys a value system", like the expression "ideas are bulletproof" from V for Vendetta. This joy with this assassination is a symptom of sickness of our society.

[@eatenhamhawk]

great video as always its nice to see others share my point of view

[@tonywarrior]

Jacque Fresco mentioned "long term investment", I'm agree, i think many people thinks like him, i read the book the art of happines, an interview with dalai lama, he said: "The border between the negative and the positive of a desire or action is not determined by instant gratification, but by the final results, positive or negative consequences."

[@TheVenusProjectGlobal]

@MasAppealTheGreat you will have to look around more, i know that he has talked about this on numerous occasions. it amounts to this: 1. Survery first-to determine what we have. Anything else would be an opinion.

[@user-ul1vn4up7u]

watch "Dan Ariely Are we in controll of our decisions" on youtube. Then it may be easier to accept the concept that our behaviors are merely reactions to the environment around us,which in many cases are not as sane as we thought to be.

[@beltanebabe55]

One day this man will be thought of as the nearest thing to a prophet the 20th century had.

@33smojo Thanks for catching this!

[@erasmusso]

@MasAppealTheGreat We certainly need a survey to know exactly how many people can live on this planet, but we're constantly changing the earth's capacity by building new things. Jacque said that we could build cities in the sea and under the ground - and there's a lot of space - so I think we could increase the population with his cities and not diminish it. And maybe in future we could colonize other planets and encrease our population even more, but maybe this is too futuristic for now...

[@NicoSeymore]

Thank you Jacque

More views. More views. More Thumbs. More donations for the CGI movie. Mooaaaar. (But seriously. Why don't these wise words get more recognition from the general public? =\)

[@blackpanther6389]

@MasAppealTheGreat I know he talks about underground living and living at sea. Or building skyscrapers that act as apartment buildings that would be as comfortable as earthbound dwellings.

[@TheVenusProjectGlobal]

@matleyz i can't see him ever take a neutral position on anything just to quell disagreements. quite the opposite really, he isn't concerned with a consensus.

[@drquantum6548]

If you study comunication do you learn this way of thinking? i REALLY want to learn more! i have watched ALOT every videos on youtube with jacque fresco and i will not stop. Do anyone have an answer to my question? i would like to learn more.

[@TheVenusProjectGlobal]

i think if you study communication in general you will not learn his kind of thinking; but if you study behavior, semantics, and the mechanistic conception of life (the old books) you may get a little closer to what he's talking about. But only if you get enough of a primer from Jacque of what's relevant or not within those fields/books..and even then it's pretty rough.

[@jean-claudemachin5311]

+Dr Quantum I think we base our thinking on believes. The value system is especially made of believes that we learned from our environment. The only way to leave these believes to get closer from the truth is to accept the idea that they may be wrong. I think the large majority of misunderstanding between humans are coming from different views of a reality biased by believes of each one. If we accept to leave our believes, we'll see that we are all thinking the same way. This is what we need to keep in mind to unite people. J.Fresco says that everything is determined by environment. I don't agree with that, there is something more in humanity : the ability to call into question ("remettre en cause", in french) our believes.

@desredmon Wouldn't the robber's valuesystem have changed too by then? He isn't talking about individual change of value systems

[@MasAppealTheGreat]

Fresco speaks of a sustainable society....I've never heard him talk about the current population level of the planet and whether or not its sustainable. Can anyone comment on this? What does Fresco have to say about our current population level? Do we need a reduction in population for his society to exist or does the RBE support the current population?

[@DeVivre]

True!

[@desredmon]

I was using the robber metaphorically. I was actually thinking of Bin Laden. If you seek to change the causal factors that must be done before they are set into the value system. Or via the public display of consequence. If the cost of a value is to high it will be lost. Once someone has begun to harm at will, stopping them is necessary. Cessation of a negative value and the cause must go hand in hand. Reduction in cause without cessation is no more effective than punishment alone.

[@michael0001able]

JACQUE, could you speak about the processes that cause emotional reactions in people like depression,anger, happiness,etc. and how to convert them to action patterns like you did in your old lecture series ? Also, could you give some advice on how to teach ones self from your experience being self taught and how it might be different for someone today trying to teach themselves as opposed to when you began learning without instructors.

[@meetKEL]

@desredmon I think that based on the situation, if your life is threatened, you must defend or run away. Because you die and this deprives of your right of survival. If your grandchildren are raped, you know that will definitely cause mental and physical damage to your grandchildren, that deprives of your grandchildren's necessity of life, then you act to prevent it. Also, if the situation is avaliable, you should talk to that man, that man acts based on his past experiences

[@desredmon]

So I may be a bit confused but the video seems to say: Ignore the past, ignore the stated threat Accept and do not resist attacks Because to resist attack or god forbid promote a more enlightened value system would condemn that value system... And any value system that contains a punishment system is intrinsically bad? If a man robs a store you are at with your grandchildren you should be ok with the man raping and killing your grandchildren. My value system would have me defend mine.

i just wish more common people were aware of venus project and the zeitgeist movement .Its very interesting for people to think & talk about. However, i live in philly, and the people i meet, and work with never even heard anything about it. Its like for every one person that is aware; there's ONE THOUSAND others with no idea;and this guy has been around since the 1970's saying the same things. Its fucking crazy how people know so much, but yet so little.

[@MasAppealTheGreat]

@thevenusprojectmedia Well how do we go about surveying and lets say we do find out that the current population of humanity is unsustainbale....what then? What is a logical humane way to proceed and fix such a problem?

[@Yamakoto120]

@TLSlayer1 So understanding reality is their responsibility. And their doing such a good job at that, right ? However, that affects us too, whether we want to admit it or not. For instance : Let's say you have some kids, and you want to give them a proper education. The environment is crawling with christians, mormons, etc. How can one simply not interfere ? You share the same city, same politicians, everything. Does it make sense to be different in opinions ? How can such a society evolve ?

@lamardetube The ice age made white skin more advantageous than dark, so for a long time most humans were white, now that ice age is over and the temperature is slowly rising, population is normalizing. Since large tribes can submit small tribes white skin people gather bast resources, now that primitive times are slowly and painfully going away, the population its diversifying, and resources being redistributed. But people in the old value system alarm because they don't understand the change.
