Jacque Fresco - Life Philosophy and the Pros/Cons of Conformity -=Excerpt=-

Jacque Fresco 'Life Philosophy, Pros & Cons of Conformity' Suffering may be useful in some instances. Suffering may cause you to be careful that you don't walk into a thorn bush. Nature & Interrelations So in this system, the total of nature is interrelated, but we don't like any part of nature that hurts us. That's why you wear clothing, an umbrella when it rains. You don't love nature; I never met a nature lover. A nature lover takes home poison ivy, takes home everything; he doesn't take home the plants that he likes. Contradictions of the System Most people don't have enough knowledge to know whether the system is fucked up; they don't know the contradictions of the system. The reason Eastern philosophy takes is because everybody alive is hungry for love, warmth and acceptance. They want to come into a house where the door is always open. They don't want any deals. Everybody wants true love, total trust, total freedom, total belief, total devotion to one another, but nobody has been conditioned to give it. Knowing / Projection And all your dreams, if they were answered tomorrow, if you got down on your knees and prayed for the best of possible worlds, you would be unhappy, because you don't know really what you want. Conflict, Love, Relating Because sometimes if you met a guy, a girl, that loved you, really loved you, and did everything that you wanted her to do, you might dislike her. Because you may need a girl who says “No, I don't go along with that.” It may be the conflict that you need. Those clips of Jacque Fresco are from the Sociocyberneering Audio Collection.

Hurricane cleanup is about wrapped in Venus and we appreciate all support and enthusiasm for the project. As Jacque said, all of us are caught in a certain phase of civilization, that we can never arrive at an ultimate society; we're always at some phase. So the point is, what are you going to do with this phase? Video Edit + Photography Joel Holt Music by Alexey Topilsky thevenusproject.com
