To rethink what is possible in our world, we need to consider what kind of world we want to live in. Although we refer to it as civilization, it is anything but civilized. Visions of global unity & fellowship have long inspired humanity, yet the social arrangements up to the present have largely failed to produce a peaceful and productive world. While we appear to be technically advanced, our values and behaviors are not. The possibility of an optimistic future is in stark contrast to our current social, economic, and environmental dilemmas. The Choice Is Ours includes interviews with notable scientists, media professionals, authors, and other thinkers exploring the difficulties we face. Part I provides an introduction and overview of cultural & environmental conditions that are untenable for a sustainable world civilization. It explores the determinants of behavior to dispel the myth of “human nature”, while demonstrating how environment shapes behavior. The science of behavior is an important - yet largely missing - ingredient in our culture. Part II questions the values, behaviors, and consequences of our social structures, and illustrates how our global monetary system is obsolete and increasingly insufficient to meet the needs of most people. Critical consideration of the banking, media, and criminal justice systems reveals these institutions for what they really are: tools of social control managed by the established political and economic elite. If we stay the present course, the familiar cycles of crime, economic booms & busts, war, and further environmental destruction are inevitable. Part III explains the methods and potential of science. It proposes solutions that we can apply at present to eliminate the use of non-renewable sources of energy. It depicts the vision of The Venus Project to build an entirely new world from the ground up: a “redesign of the culture”, where all enjoy a high standard of living, free of servitude and debt, while also protecting the environment. Part IV explains how it is not just architecture and a social structure that is in desperate need of change, but our values which have been handed down from centuries ago. They too need to be updated to our technological age, which has the potential to eliminate our scarcity-driven societies of today. Our problems are mostly of our own making, but we can still turn things around before the point of no return. It’s not too late for an optimistic outlook on the fantastic possibilities that lie before us. Jacque Fresco-Futurist, Industrial Designer, Social Engineer, Founder of The Venus Project Jeffery A.

Paul Hewitt - Author "Conceptual Physics" Roxanne Meadows - Co-Founder The Venus Project *special thanks also to Alexander "Obraz" ...Obraz.io who created the many 2d motion depictions (plus the sound fx!) of concepts such as the "hamburgers and fried chicken" segment and many others which are Alexander's inimitable work style and atteniton to details where we needed very specific illustrations of key points. The Venus Project proposes an alternative vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but as totally unacceptable. Anything less will result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems inherent in today's world. Learn more at www.thevenusproject.com

Maybe a time will come when we are able to see another person's need as our own need and not use the word or idea of God as a weapon to judge in an attempt to hide murderous intent. The beliefs and ideas that are used against reality need protected in order to survive and are ruthless and deadly in their methods. Bodies are seen, counted, and ultimately used in ways that bodies were not meant to be used as guilt and fear are nefariously used to cultivate ideas of pride and mindless patriotism to control the intentionally limiting of the unwitting limited body/minds - of the masses.

What causes smallotry?

The ultimate sophistication of the collective as a tenacious endeavor for attainment of knowledge can bring about an enormous increase in the value and quality of life. And trough the justification of this augmented vision; the capacity to which it dwells on the prosperity for all, is certain to undergo reciprocation for the validation of species. Through the emergence of such contingency; prosperity and harmonious adjustment approach a utopian style of inquiry.

When mother earth is no longer able to support us she will shake us off her back like a wet dog shakes off the water after a good swim in a lake.

Who's going to determine how humans are to behave? How does that person know that's the "right" way to behave? Is he god? Where did he get that authority? Sound like a major blood spill to make people behave a certain way. And that's nothing innovative here.

All I have, after watching this video, is nothing but hope. That's nothing more. :)

To be a resourceful is all we need to secure life sustainability on earth? we are as spiritual as material being, how could we avoid spiritual development in human civilization by only focusing on technological advancement(science), we can't compromise either science or spiritual for the world development. it's like asking a human what to do with invention of fire, would you set it up to warm every one or burn some one with it. By using a fire to warm some one with fire is implication of technology based on moral behavior, in contrary, by using fire to siege the city is also implication of technology based lack of moral behavior. i guess my argument is that technology provide us with opportunities in life but whether we imply it in development of world has to come with how our spiritual understanding of ourselves.

it's futuristic but some are conceptual, unpractical and ineffective way of running the system.

Will there still be such a thing as private property in this new world of the Venus Project?
-
will you be allowed to live contrary to these principals? anybody read a brave new world?
-
but...what if you want to toil for your basic needs? what if thats how you find fulfillment?

sounds great

Great stuff!

This is totally for positive and intelligent people.

We're developing a platform with the potential to lead to the immediate transition to a defacto "resource based economy". It's taken lots of hard work because the ideas are a little abstract, but we're finally starting to attract prominent support. But I question whether the Venus Project is sincere. I've reached out a number of times to try to cooperate. Though the Venus Project staff acknowledged receipt of my communication I received no communication in return ... only silence. So let me get this straight ... we've solved your problem ... and you're not even interested in having a discussion to learn what that solution might be? At best incompetence. At worst ... fraud.

then why are we using nuclear the worst thing we could do to our planet

Are you guys serious? Carl Segan is a know "globalist" in the purest sense of the word. The Earth is FLAT. The moon is a luminescent disc. The sun is a not a big ball of gas. There is no such thing as gravity and there is no outer space. We live in an EarthTerrarium. No one has ever been to the moon, no one is ever going to Mars, there is no place where a ship can just float around, boosters rockets do not work above the atmosphere. The entire production is designed and scripted to perpetuate the myth that we live on a spherical planet floating in infinite space, laced with social programing agendas such as global warming, etc. Wake up guys, look out your window at the real "world".
