“I have no notions of a perfect society, I don’t know what that means. I know we can do much better than what we’ve got, I’m no utopian, I’m not a humanist that would like to see everybody living in warmth and harmony: I know that if we don’t live that way, we’ll kill each other and destroy the Earth.” IfsKnowsWayMeanEarthCan DoPerfectHarmonyNotionHumanistWarmthUtopianPerfect Society Author:Jacque Fresco

“At the beginning of World War II the U.S. had a mere 600 or so first-class fighting aircraft. We rapidly overcame this short supply by turning out more than 90,000 planes a year. The question at the start of World War II was: Do we have enough funds to produce the required implements of war? The answer was No, we did not have enough money, nor did we have enough gold; but we did have more than enough resources. It was the available resources that enabled the US to achieve the high production and efficiency required to win the war. Unfortunately this is only considered in times of war.” WorldYearsFirstsWarEnoughFightingWinningAnswersClassAchieveProduceResourcesGoldMereProductionsAvailablePlanesWar Of The WorldsFundWorld War IiWorld War IEfficiencyAircraftFirst Class Author:Jacque Fresco

I felt the rules of the game we play by were outmoded and damaging. This began a life-long quest resulting in the conclusions and designs presented in The Venus Project.” PeopleLongStillsPlayEarthGamesSocialFeltDesignProductsShapesProjectsConscienceResourcesPlantI RealizedConclusionQuestsLong LifeManufacturingGreat DepressionVenusRules Of The Game Author:Jacque Fresco
