Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
This week, Cenk Uygur sits down with Peter Joseph, founder of the Zeitgeist movement and creator of Zeitgeist, The Movie. The Zeitgeist movement's goal is to create global sustainability by changing established social systems. Can people save the world by changing socially? Is the market economy responsible for corruption, and is it serving its original purpose? Does the market economy leave room for true freewill, and is it truly possible to shed ourselves of material goods? Is Wall Street and its influence creating a sickness among mankind? Cenk Uygur talks to Peter Joseph in-depth about the Zeitgeist movement, answering questions including how it would work, if it could work, and why the current social structure needs it to work.

Anyone who doesn't see that this guy's a con artist is a fool.
-
Cenk, I don't agree with him half the time, but his interviews are good because he doesn't show his power level (too much)
-
time for another interview
-
I think competitive sports are nothing but a waste of human energy. Imagine if we put that energy into solving the world's problems.
-
global work stike, thats what we need.
-
Come on Cenk! Open your mind! Stop thinking in materialistic terms.
-
You can see some of that hard ingrained resistance of the system from Cenk, which is funny considering he is pretty outspoken about the system. It just shows how this current system has been trained into almost everyone. Btw, I'm actually enjoying hearing Peter speak about these things more than the films themselves. Perhaps that is because I saw the films when I was already aware of the system and its corruption.

Cenk has tiny little hands.

When Cenk comes up with an original idea, the world will be coming to an end.

Hundreds of tons of food in vertical farms will feed all of los angeles...

BULLSHIT.
1) 100s of tons will not feed LA...
2) vertical farms have not been proven to scale.
3) where does the fresh water come from? Desalination is EXPENSIVE
4) What about EVERYWHERE ELSE than LA.
Joseph is a FUCKING CLOWN! -
All this idiot does is talk about obvious shit that a 12 year old knows, Then he makes all these statements about "we can do this, we can do that, this can be done..."
WITH NO EXPLANATION HOW. ZERO.. BUPKISS....
THIS GUY IS A FUCKING CLOWN!!! -
8:40 this guy is a fucking idiot.
So how is zeitgeist going to keep people from wanting more than their neighbor?
This guy is a fucking whiny little idealogue bitch...
He has ZERO solutions...
Just a fucking crybaby... -
Peter Joseph is a simpleton.
-
are you coming at this problem from an evolutionary perspective? ? then this will fail, too...you must have a correct understanding of who we are and 10 minutes into your talk there is no mention of a correct spiritual philosophy. ..
-
Agnostic is a false term it comes from being A gnostic. Witch means you use gnosis, its a kind of alchemitic lucifian christianty. Im pretty shore Cenk Uygur couldn't handle understanding that, let alone trying to live by that.

This guy is really closed minded about what is important to the human condition. Peter is talking about freeing oneself from the single minded resolve yet his host is talking about the opposite effects that peter is trying to point out. How dumbed down is this guy? By his way of speaking there is no articulation to any of his questions only that he wants to debase peter's fundamental ideals about why our society is being autopsied from the inside out from our so called governments, and the monetary systems, which we of course do not need in our lives. Working together to build a better world without such foundations, and corrupt organizations is what the earth's population yearns for. To free ourselves from the unnecessary gain of money, power, authoritarian regimes, and of course health organizations who use diseases in order to propagate their funding even further. Uygur is not ready to accept such a society at the base level where money is no longer needed. Or that buying recognition to heighten his status as a talk show host is all he wants in order to buy that elite car or yacht or also a mansion with fifty rooms. He is what peter is talking about at the most minute levels. You can see his five thousand dollar gold watch. His five hundred dollar suit. Most likely he has a bar tab with five figures attached to it so on those days off he can enjoy twelve dozen cold ones rather than handing out his visa card or real money to buy his drinks.He is missing the point of what peter is trying to say. He doesn't want to live in a resource based economy. Uygur would rather live in lush posh luxury as long as he can until it comes to the day where he will have to stand in a line awaiting food stamps. And by what peter is talking about it won't be too long until he does. It is coming by way of an unexpected windstorm or hurricane when the entire global system collapses. Then Uygur will know what the hell is going on but it will be too late for him. His mind won't accept it. Rather than doing something about it, uygur will try to find another avenue to make his fortune but by then since the collapse is going to happen anyway will most likely take a gun to his head, and end it all in one bullet. His mind is so conditioned to making money by being a talk show host, that his whole way of thinking has been marred by the monetary system. You all kept hearing how he didn't agree on certain points. This is because he cannot fathom it actually being real. When in fact it can be. I think Peter Joseph is definitely one of the greatest documentary makers of our time. He sees what is happening, does his research, shows it to us, and lets us make the decision to cause the change to come. Uygur can see only dollar signs, and beer glasses for his mid average intellect. He will never succumb to change, and how it will help other people around the world. We need this new idea to become reality so that ALL people can benefit from free resources such as energy, food, safe housing, and NO FOSSIL FUELS and implementing universal health care in all countries. Peter is right... take away the cause you free the populace from unnecessary anxiety, depression, self deflation, suicide, crime, and even rioting or wars. Uygur will remain ignorant, self loathing, and judgmental to a new idea that can help end war, hunger, corruption, and poverty. He doesn't want a free earth. He wants it with a price tag attached to it.
