POPULARITY
It's a BIG week. There is a presidential election going on, we have the Grand Opening for IMPACT-X Performance in Huntington Beach, CA, and it's Parents Weekend at Davidson College this weekend as my son Luke has only 2 football games left in his college career. A lot of CHANGE. On all levels. It seems like everyone talks about change but rarely do people embrace change. In today's episode, I talk about the power of change, its inevitability, the growth it can foster, and how our mindset influences our journey. Through a collection of 62 impactful quotes, we reflect on how to embrace change and transformation in our lives. Here are my top 62-Quotes on CHANGE that you will want to earmark for future use and reference. These will guide you through the beauty and process of change, growth, & transformation.

The Venus Project was started in the 1980s by Jacques Fresco and Roxanne Meadows with the aim of showing that it was possible to lead a more human centered existence… as long as you built outside of the capitalist market system. Over the decades, the fortunes of the project have fluctuated - from an initial burst of enthusiasm and action (Meadows and Fresco built almost all the structures on the property by hand themselves) to the grinding reality of what it means to grow a stable and vibrant community, to the immense surge of popularity just as Fresco's life came to an end. Project members Roxanne Meadows and Nate Dwindiddie come by the show with previous guest Simon Michaux to talk about the failures and successes of the project, and what it might look like when its reborn as the framework for Michaux's Prometheus Project.

Utopia isn't some final destination where problems no longer exist -- it's a constantly evolving process of self-evaluation and social cooperation. Jacque Fresco understood that when he and Roxanne Meadows started The Venus Project, introducing so many of us to the idea of a resource-based economy, and the ability to engineer our way out of our crises. Roxanne joins us on today's episode, along with her colleagues Nate and Theo, to discuss how The Venus Project is evolving today. Much more than a futuristic compound located in Venus, Florida, The Venus Project is like a whole new science being introduced to the world. And the goal of this new science is to harness human ingenuity and collaboration, teaching people to work WITH the nature around them in order to survive and thrive in the face of impending industrial apocalypse.

A self-taught futurist imagines a utopian world with no money, war, scarcity or property. Jacque Fresco considered himself beyond capitalism and communism, relying on technology, science, and resource management to create a perfect, cybernetically enhanced world. He was also pretty horny and claimed to have changed the minds of several Ku Klux Klan members about race. His ideas ended up being showcased at the United Nations.

Migration can be both exciting and stressful. Sure, there's a lot you need to figure out when you're relocating: from getting your visa, finding a place to live, or figuring out how much of your stuff you want to bring with you. But for most people, the biggest challenge of moving abroad isn't any of those things. It's feeling happy in their new environment. Listen to today's episode—set yourself up for success, and increase your chances of happiness in a new country. In this episode we shared:What is commonly underestimated when movingHow positive expectations can do more harm than goodWhat expectancy violation isTwo types of expectancy violationTips for setting realistic expectationsPersonal experiences Feature Quote:“So people are hurt by their expectations. You know, you're not disappointed by the world, you are disappointed by your own projections.” -Jacque Fresco, Author Reference Material: Happy in a new Country: the Power of Expectations by Claudia BrisionExpectancy Violations Theory by Judee K.

The audio version of Zeitgeist: Addendum, a 2008 film produced and directed by Peter Joseph, and is a sequel to the 2007 film, Zeitgeist: The Movie.Part I covers the process of fractional-reserve banking as illustrated in Modern Money Mechanics, by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The film suggests that society is manipulated into economic slavery through debt-based monetary policies by requiring individuals to submit for employment in order to pay off their debt.Part II has an interview with John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman, who says he was involved in the subjugation of Latin American economies by multinational corporations and the United States government, including involvement in the overthrow of Latin American heads-of-state. Perkins sees the US as a corporatocracy, in which maximization of profits is the first priority.Part III introduces futurist Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project and asserts a need to move away from current socioeconomic paradigms. Fresco states that capitalism perpetuates the conditions it claims to address, as problems are only solved if there is money to be made. The film looks at Fresco's proposal of a resource-based economy, which puts environmental friendliness, sustainability and abundance as fundamental societal goals. He goes on to discuss technology which he sees as the primary driver of human advancement, and he describes politics as being unable to solve any problems.Part IV suggests that the primary reason for what the film sees as society's social values ("warfare, corruption, oppressive laws, social stratification, irrelevant superstitions, environmental destruction, and a despotic, socially indifferent, profit oriented ruling class") is a collective ignorance of "the emergent and symbiotic aspects of natural law". The film advocates the following actions for achieving social change: boycotting of the most powerful banks in the Federal Reserve System, the major news networks, the military, energy corporations, all political systems; and joining, and supporting The Zeitgeist Movement.thefacthunter.com
“Merely complaining without proposing an alternative offers nothing.” - Jacque Fresco
Jacque Fresco releases his ideas to the mainstream media.
Studies show that monetary incentives do not always improve performance, and can frequently decrease results. Incentives are often due to the beliefs that people hold, sometimes even putting their own lives at risk for them. Clearly, this outweighs the motivation of a monetary reward. Doing what people believe is “good” is a powerful reinforcer. The Venus Project proposes an alternative vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable but as totally unacceptable. Anything less will result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems inherent in today's world.

S.O.U.L. Documentary gives a more personal insight into the origins and motivations of the man who could be described as the “Leonardo da Vinci of the 20th century”. In an intimate face-to-face, Jacque Fresco shares with S.O.U.L. founder Evan Gary Hirsch how he devoted his entire life to comprehensively designing a robust, workable tomorrow for our human family and planet. What could not have been known at the time was that this was to be Jacque's final interview. In this half hour documentary, Jacque, who had just turned 101 years old(!), lets the audience see through his brilliant mind and into his compassionate heart, which was a fountain of overflowing love and respect for all living things and the precious Earth we call home. After watching the full documentary, Jacque will leave you feeling as if you had just sat with your kind, loving grandfather who shared with you his life's work. As he hands over the keys to solving society's problems just before he passes, his hope is clearly that you will see his plans through to fruition for the benefit of all. As this passionate man obviously devoted his life to designing something much more nurturing, harmonious, and sustainable for humanity, it seems the least we can do for him, his legacy, and our future, is to see his designs move from conceptualization to realization.

The Matrix News Network featuring Jacque Fresco and guest Roxanne Meadows to discuss the Venus Project.
Produced by S.O.U.L. Documentary, this is a film on the life's work of late, legendary visionary Jacque Fresco, founder of The Venus Project. The movie features never before seen archival footage and the inspirational last interview of his life. In an intimate face-to-face, Jacque Fresco shares with S.O.U.L. founder Evan Gary Hirsch how he devoted his entire life to comprehensively designing a robust, workable tomorrow for our human family and planet. In this half-hour documentary, Jacque, who had just turned 101 years old, gives us a glimmer of hope as he describes the conditions needed for people to peacefully co-exist in a world without exploitation and abuse of one another. He lays out a bold new social design in which war and territorial disputes are things of the past, and where the true meaning of love and spirituality are manifested by translating them into a working reality. We also hear from Roxanne Meadows, co-founder of The Venus Project, and Jacque's partner for over four decades, who is now at the helm of The Venus Project. After watching this film, you may just feel you had sat with an extremely wise elder who, although facing the ravishes of old age, was determined to share what he feels is necessary for humanity to grow up in order for us to survive and thrive as a species. You will glimpse a portion of the work he accomplished in his lifetime, which gives us an alternative path for society to take, solving many of our monumental problems. He also spent his entire life as a teacher so others could understand the validity of this new social direction which benefits all of humanity. It is our hope that you will come away with this understanding and look into and work with The Venus Project as well. As this passionate man obviously devoted his life to designing something much more nurturing, harmonious, and sustainable for our human family, it seems the least we can do for him, his legacy, and our future, is to see his designs move from conceptualization to realization.

Jacques Fresco: The Venus Project and technologies that will change the world beyond recognizability. The Venus Project, what is it? The Venus Project 2020. The technology of the future is already today. What is Jacques Fresco's Venus Project? An Utopia or Future Technologies that already exists and that can change our lives? Let's try to figure out in this video! If you have not heard of the Venus Project yet, it is a model of a peaceful, sustainable civilization of the future in which technology and science are used to reconstruct our social system to create a high standard of living for everyone. The key points of the program of the project are resource-based economy, general automation, and the introduction of high technologies into all spheres to improve each person's life and the scientific approach to solving each particular problem. So what is wrong with that?

The term and meaning of a Resource-Based Economy was originated by Jacque Fresco. It is a holistic social and economic system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude. All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few. The premise upon which this system is based is that the Earth is abundant with plentiful resources; our practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counterproductive to our survival. Modern society has access to highly advanced technology and can make available food, clothing, housing, and medical care; update our educational system; and develop a limitless supply of renewable, non-contaminating energy. By supplying an efficiently designed economy, everyone can enjoy a very high standard of living with all of the amenities of a high technological society. A resource-based economy would utilize existing resources from the land and sea, physical equipment, industrial plants, etc. to enhance the lives of the total population. In an economy based on resources rather than money, we could easily produce all of the necessities of life and provide a high standard of living for all.

Jacque discusses "what is depression?" and talks about elements of self-image and identification that produces low self-sufficiency. Covers how projections create disappointment, how "looking within" rarely works, and shows how specific reward/reinforcements often provide only palliative help. Discusses the importance of learning new things and gaining predictability when dealing with depression.
Joel Holt, with the help of Roxanne Meadows and Nate Dinwiddie's archiving, created a video “Reflections on the Life & Work of Jacque Fresco”. The video presents snippets from Jacque's life, events, and appearances throughout his prolific and active life. A Resource Based Economy as proposed by Jacque inspires us towards a more equitable future. The Venus Project proposes an alternative vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable but as totally unacceptable. Anything less will result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems inherent in today's world.

Dialogue and Q&A with Jacque Fresco on July 26, 2009. Covering collapse and transitional issues, politics, and systems approach.
I still remember the day in August 2012 when Futurist Jacque Fresco and his partner Roxanne Meadows of the Venus Project came to our studios for London Real episode #47. After accepting my offer to pick them up I headed off to Waterloo station with camera crew in tow to record the arrival of one of our century's great thinkers. After nearly getting arrested by the transit authority for recording video in a public station, I was soon struck by the resilience of Jacque Fresco: this man of 96 years demonstrated a quick wit and a mind sharp as a tack. For the next hour we were left alone with Jacque (thank you for trusting us Roxanne) and explored everything from his relationship with Peter Joseph of the Zeitgeist Movement to his thoughts on the Resource Based Economy to the basic tenets of the Venus Project. Little did we know that this episode would soon become one of our most popular and defining episodes of London Real with over 200,000 views. Recently celebrating his 98th birthday Jacque Fresco shows no signs of slowing down and you can still visit him and Roxanne Meadows at the Venus Project in Florida where they give 4 hour lectures every week on Saturdays. They are also working on a documentary film which you can learn more about it and donate by visiting The Venus Project Homepage. Jacque Fresco has a uncanny way of transcending age, race, culture, and nationality that I still can't quite explain. Perhaps it is the fact that he has spent a lifetime dedicated to a message and truth that has never been fashionable or popular without ever giving up.
