Jacque Fresco is a self-educated structural designer, philosopher of science, concept artist, educator, and futurist. He is considered by many to be a modern-day Da Vinci. Peer to Einstein and Buckminster Fuller, Jacque is a self-taught futurist who describes himself most often as a “generalist” or multi-disciplinarian — a student of many inter-related fields. He is a prolific inventor, having spent his entire life (he is now 95 years old) conceiving of and devising inventions on various scales which entail the use of innovative technology. As a futurist, Jacque is not only a conceptualist and a theoretician, he is also an engineer and a designer. Continue reading “TEDxOjai – Jacque Fresco – Resource Based Economy”

Peter Joseph – The Big Question – TEDxOjai
Peter Joseph is a director, writer, producer, editor, composer and creator of the Zeitgeist movies series. He is an independent filmmaker who has written, directed, narrated, scored and produced three non-commercial, self-produced and freely-distributed documentary films: Zeitgeist: The Movie, Zeitgeist: Addendum and Zeitgeist: Moving Forward. He is also the founder of “The Zeitgeist Movement”, which is a social sustainability organization with members now in nearly every country. His work with The Movement is now a large part of his daily activities — giving lectures and helping to produce relevant media/materials to spread the interest for a new social system.
In this talk, Peter Joseph examines todays economy and reflects our environmental misalignment and the value war.
Resource Based Economy vs. Libertarianism
Wars, protests, revolutions – the ball is rolling toward global collapse of the system that has prevailed since the end of World War II. The elite have a plan to replace it – their “solution” – but the true solutions will arise from the informed public, those with tempered demeanors and careful diction. Two such solutions are discussed here – John Bush, director of Texans for Accountable Government (http://www.tagtexas.org), is in the Libertarian corner, while Douglas Mallette, coordinator for the Zeitgeist Movement Technology Team (http://www.zeitnews.org), flexes the Resource Based Economy (RBE) model – both of which manage the delicate balance of intelligence and compassion that the ideas of most world “leaders” presently lack.
Ever wanted to see a discussion between Jacque Fresco and Ludwig von Mises? We sure have, but, until that happens, we like to think of this as the next best thing. 🙂
