"The Zeitgeist Movement * is the activist arm of The Venus Project, which constitutes the life long work
of industrial designer and social engineer, Jacque Fresco. What The Venus Project represents and what The Zeitgeist Movement hence condones, could be summarized as: ‘The application of The Scientific Method for social concern.’
Through the humane application of Science and Technology to social design and decision-making, we have the means to transform our tribalistic, scarcity driven, corruption filled environment into something exceedingly more organized, balanced, humane, sustainable and productive. To do so, we have to understand who we are, where we are, what we have, what we want, and how we are going to obtain our goals. Given the current state of affairs, many of which are addressed in the film Zeitgeist Addendum (which can be seen here (http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/), for free), one should find that we not only need to move in another direction… we have to. The current economic system is falling apart at an accelerating rate, with the prospect of worldwide unemployment occurring on the largest scale ever seen. Simultaneously, we are courting the “point of no return” in regard to the destruction of the environment."
* This is not a political movement!

If life at times seems bewildering - if you find that no matter what you do, you still have sticky problems, if you find that our economic, political, and social ways of doing things sometimes create more difficulties than they solve - then you are simply playing your part in suffering through the present transitional phase of our civilization.
