Yes, I know that my theme is strange. Yes, I could write about «Independent of Kazakhstan» or «World War II». But nowadays human has a lot problems of environmental, economic. We are close to revelation (apocalypse).

What is Venus Project? Who created this project?

Author of project:

Jacque Fresco (March 13, 1916 – May 18, 2017) was

an American futurist and self-described social engineer.

Self-taught, he worked in a variety of positions related to

industrial design.

Fresco wrote and lectured his views on sustainable cities,

energy efficiency, natural-resource management,

cybernetic

technology, automation, and the role of science in society.

He directed the Venus Project and advocated global

implementation of a socioeconomic system which he

referred to as a “resource-based economy”.

Main mean of project:

What is The Venus Project?

The Venus Project is an organization that proposes a feasible plan of action for social change, one that works towards a peaceful and sustainable global civilization. It outlines an alternative to strive toward where human rights are no longer paper proclamations but a way of life.

We propose a fresh, holistic approach – one that is dedicated to human and environmental concerns. It is an attainable vision of a bright and better future, one that is appropriate to the times in which we live, and both practical and feasible for a positive future for all the world’s people.

We advocate an alternative vision unlike any social system that has gone before. Our conclusions are based on years of study and experimental research by many people from various scientific disciplines.

We call for a straightforward approach to the redesign of a culture, in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt, environmental degradation and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but totally unacceptable.

The Venus Project is a veritable blueprint for the genesis of a new world civilization, one that is based on human concern and environmental reclamation. One fundamental premise is that we work towards having all of the Earth’s resources as the common heritage of all the world’s people. Anything less will simply result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems inherent in the present system.

Experience tells us that human behavior can be directed, either toward constructive or destructive activity. This is what The Venus Project is all about – directing our technology and resources toward the positive, for the maximum benefit of people and planet, and seeking out new ways of thinking and living that emphasize and celebrate the vast potential of the human spirit. We have the tools at hand to design and build a future that is worthy of the human potential.

The Venus Project presents a bold, new direction for humanity that entails nothing less than the total redesign of our culture. Our proposition is not an attempt to predict what will be done, only what could be done. The responsibility for our future is in our hands, and depends on the decisions that we make today. The greatest resource that is available today is our own ingenuity.

Aims and Proposals
The plans of The Venus Project offer society a broader spectrum of choices based on the scientific possibilities directed toward a new era of peace and sustainability for all. Through the implementation of a global Resourced Based Economy, and a multitude of innovative and environmentally friendly technologies directly applied to the social system, The Venus Project proposals will dramatically reduce crime, poverty, hunger, homelessness, and many other pressing problems that are common throughout the world today.

One of the cornerstones of the organization’s findings is the fact that many of the dysfunctional behaviors of today’s society stem directly from the dehumanizing environment of a monetary system. In addition, automation has resulted in the technological replacement of human labor by machines and eventually most people will not have the purchasing power to buy the goods and services turned out.

The Venus Project proposes a system in which automation and technology would be intelligently integrated into an overall holistic socio-economic design where the primary function would be to maximize the quality of life rather than profits. This project also introduces a set of workable and practical values.

This is also in perfect accord with the spiritual aspects and ideals found in most religions throughout the world. What sets The Venus Project apart, however, is that it proposes to translate these ideals into a working reality.

The Future By Design
Imagine a world where war is outdated, there is no shortage of resources, and every human being enjoys a high standard of living.

Jacque Fresco has.

He is considered by many to be a modern-day Da Vinci. Peer to Einstein and the Buckminster Fuller, Jacques 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 conceiving of and devising inventions on various scales, using innovative technology provide win-win solutions for the planetand its inhabitants.

Jacque (now in his mid-90’s) has been redesigning our entire culture for most of his life, and he doesn’t just want to talk about what today will be like tomorrow, he has a plan to build an entire new world from the ground up. “I was always interested in the future; as far back as I can remember. I drew airplanes and cities of the future, and underwater cities and floating cities.”

His organization, The Venus Project, works to provide a global vision of hope for the future of humankind in our technological age. The project also six certain global aims and goals. These include: realizing the planet’s resources as the common heritage of all people; transcending the artificial boundaries that are currently separating us, outgrowing nationalism, bigotry and prejudice; replacing money based economies with a resource-based world economy; redesigning transport systems and industry so that they are green and clean; gradually outgrowing corporate entities and governments as a means of social management; sharing new technologies for the benefit of automations and enhancing education so that future generations are intellectually and emotionally prepared for the changes and challenges that lie ahead.

To put his ideals into practice, Jacque is building the first ever experimental research city – a 25-acre complex in south-central Florida. Construction has already begun in fundraising efforts are underway to support it.

Aside from utilizing the very best in green technology – wind, solar and heat concentrating systems, hydroponic farm facilities and lush landscaping – the cities designed to serve the needs of every member of society and allow occupants to choose their most fulfilling lifestyle.

It reminds me of a very good question I came across many years ago. “If money were no object, what would you do with your time?” Would you still be working at the same job? Would you work at all? How would you like to spend your free time? Would you play games like when we were children? Where would you like to go and who would you bring with you? What would you like to create? If everybody’s basic needs were met all over the world, what would be left to do? Whatever you like. Whatever makes your heart sing, your mind tingle and your face smile. Art, Science, Philosophy, Sport, Space Exploration, you name it, you can spend your whole life doing it if you so desire.

It will take some amount of work to get from where we are to where we can be, and a lot of people have to take a long hard look their lives and decide what’s really the right path for them to travel along in this lifetime, but I believe we can do it.

So, let’s imagine how our life and our society will change when money is no longer needed because the resources of the world are freely available for all to share equally. Robotic technology will look after the production and distribution processes required to fulfill our basic needs. People won’t have to work to buy food, shelter or clothing. Profit will no longer be a driving force in business, so cutting corners and producing poor quality products will no longer make sense. Sweatshops, child labor, and cheap, toxic additives causing harmful side effects will be things of the unenlightened past.

If people do want to produce goods, they will have access to the very best quality of resources, so they’ll have no reason to create something that is anything other than top quality. Clothing and technological products will be built to last for years, not for months.

Only medicines free from negative side effects will be prescribed, along with natural remedies and save procedures. The worlds of quantum, spiritual and energetic healing will be fully embraced in their amazing results shared with the world.

The health of the planet will be as important as the health of its inhabitants. All packaging will be biodegradable and recyclable. We will find ways to reduce, reuse and recycle the waste that has already been dumped in landfills. We will instead fill the land with love, and work with nature in an effort to replenish all of its wondrous flora and fauna.

People will not only eat what’s best for their body, but what’s best for the planet. Every meal can be 5-star quality. Families and friends can dying together in celebration of the food Mother Earth has provided, which can be cooked from scratch as there will be no need to rush back to work after some fast food.

People will spend their time following their heart’s desires and all of the right people will find their way into all of the right pursuits in order to continue our spiritual and scientific evolution.

With resources available to all, and everyone’s basic needs met, there will be relatively little reason to go to war. And with all that free time to get to know yourself and your relationship with Life and God, people will feel a lot happier and more understanding, so bigotry and prejudice will also eventually disappear.

People will look to spiritual teachers and scientists, instead of military leaders and politicians, for direction. Although, their own internal compass will be their strongest source of guidance. We won’t need someone else to make our decisions for us. We will all instinctively know what’s best for us, personally and as a society, and we will naturally move towards those things.

Festivals will spring up all over the earth, big and small, organized and impromptu gatherings. Music will be as much a communal expression as it is an individual one. Fun will be free-roaming, not restricted to certain allotted times and places. Art can be spontaneous and temporary or a life’s work created to last forever. Dancing and movement will happen on a whim, in harmony with your body’s natural impulses. So too with emotions. Crying and laughing out loud will be respected us a healthy expression of being human. We will like ourselves and respect each other more.

Cities will have more of a community ethos to them, so that everyone feels included any’s taken care of, both physically and emotionally. That will go a long way towards helping to alleviate any mental health issues that arise.

“People will spend their time following their hearts desires.”

Clocks will no longer govern our waking and sleeping periods, our eating and working habits, or our emotional state. We may rise with the sun and get to know the seasons. Meetings with people will happen intuitively. We may even go so far as to get rid of mobile phones in favor of our gut instinct and telepathic capabilities.

Of course, we are where we are now, which I like to think is on our way to the world I’ve just described. It requires a commitment to authentic communication with your mind, body and emotions, as well as to the other people in your life. The best first step we can take is to work on ourselves, to embrace the qualities of honesty, integrity, intelligence, compassion and freedom of expression. It’s up to you to decide what substances to fill your body, mind, heart and home with. It’s up to you to ask for help when you need it, and to follow through with whatever healing work suits you best.

People like Jacque Fresco can shine a light for the rest of us to follow, but I believe we all have a life worth shining, and I’d love to see yours.

Future Vision

The Venus Project’s Showcase Of Things To Come

Jacque Fresco has been envisioning the future for nearly a century. He’s an inventor, artist, and industrial and architectural designer who holds more than 100 patents. The 92-year-old is a master of out-of-the-box thinking, and one need look no further than the Venus Project, located in Central Florida. It is comprised of plans, hundreds of scale models and 10 completed dome structures with decidedly mod 1960s feel nestled among flower gardens, bridges, ponds, streams and hundreds of palms. Fresco and his longtime partner, Roxanne Meadows, build the culmination of his life’s work, the 21-acre research facility in Venus, Fla. The project has been thirty years in the making and serves as an architectural model for sustainable living.

The Venus Project integrates the best of science, technology and art into comprehensive plan for a society based on human and environmental concerns. Over the years, Fresco has designed works that address society’s basic problems including noiseless and pollution-free aircraft, and the aluminum siding that became all the rage in the 1950s. This and other achievements have earned him a following among innovators both young and old, some who compare the inventor to Nicola Tesla and other relatively obscure but prolific pioneers.

Fresco uses the property as a lab an example of how to live. “What is needed is a positive vision of what the future can be if planned in accordance with the carrying capacity of the Earth,” he says. His architectural designs maximize the Earth’s natural resources and energy. Fresco feels the Venus Project is feasible. “It doesn’t reflect the dreams of an impractical idealist,” he says. ” instead, he presents obtainable goals requiring only the intelligent application of what we already know. The only limitations are those we impose upon ourselves.”

The property is currently for sale as Fresco and his partner have been invited to build a Museum of the Future in Turkey and potentially an experimental city. Perhaps, at 92, this futurist is just beginning his biggest project yet.

In  conclusion, I want to waft that our humanity is died. Era of apocalyptic is the near future. We should give understanding for people that we must help to others. Because we all are one nation and Earth is our general home.
