Shortly summarized, it is a future envision project headed by the veteran social engineer Jacque Fresco along with partner Roxanne Meadows. I met both of them during the World Lecture Tour on the 26th of June 2010. It was a very hot day and me and a buddy of mine went to Eindhoven to attend the lecture which lasted for approximately 3 hours. I even filmed a good part of Jacque's message, surely inspiring the audience which was intriguely listening to a man thinking outside of the box.
What is it about? It's about the successor of the current monetary economy, a resource-based economy. If you still don't understand what I am talking about, I suggest that you follow http://www.thevenusproject.com/ and http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/, read the information there, and especially be sure to view Zeitgeist (2007) and Zeitgeist: Addendum (2008) for further clarification. In order to cleanse the world from poverty, war, crime and corruption in the biggest way imaginable, we must destroy the monetary system, share the resources and needs as a common heritage for all the world's people in order for humanity, nature and technology to co-exist in an equilibrium state for a long time.
Fresco goes in great depth explaining his vision and theories, handling out great examples about all sorts of topics, religion and politics being the "bad ones" and science and technology being the "good ones" basically in present time. The Venus Project isn't an utopia, but it sure as hell does smack the monetary system hard, speaking of the benefits it could bring. Politics for example are although well presented and logical currently, in the long run I would rather have it removed and instead let science take over for dealing with problems they understand, perhaps even at this very moment, if it was possible.
It will be very difficult and very time consuming to let this become reality, since enormous amounts of preparations and consequences must be dealt with. But there is no doubt in my mind though that I would prefer this future period of time instead of the rich, the middle and the poor classes, and all of the evil it brings with it, roughly speaking of the monetary system.
Before I forget, I read an interesting comment on a YouTube video that scarcity should not be forgotten before we implement The Venus Project, if humanity allows it to happen someday. I agree, it is atleast one of the many things to consider before starting on this huge ambitious project.
One more thing, if you are interested in upcoming videos regarding The Venus Project and The Zeitgeist Movement, look no further than to expect Zeitgeist: Moving Forward in late 2010 and Earth 2.0, which is coming soon.
