1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,100
The Venus Project is the culmination of Jacque Fresco’s life work.

2
00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:08,390
He is the co-founder of The Venus Project along with Roxanne Meadows.

3
00:00:08,390 --> 00:00:12,860
Since his early childhood he was search for answers through our social dilemmas.

4
00:00:12,860 --> 00:00:18,960
In 1929, great depression was (?) in pushing him to search for social alternatives.

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,680
Unabled to find an acceptable solution,

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,480
he spent a lifetime working towards

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,000
a cooperative social direction that is equitable to all,

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,160
while protecting the environment.

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,330
What do you think that is...

10
00:00:33,330 --> 00:00:38,680
(?) which way (?) somebody said (?)

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,000
Who said a boat(?)?

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,650
Yes, over there.

13
00:00:44,650 --> 00:00:48,000
Okay. That is what it is.

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,470
Now, tell me who this is this.

15
00:00:51,470 --> 00:00:54,000
This is a personality.

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,420
And let me give you another (?).

17
00:00:58,420 --> 00:01:00,710
Who said (?)?

18
00:01:00,710 --> 00:01:03,000
(?)

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,460
Yes they got in here(?). You have it. You got it right.

20
00:01:06,460 --> 00:01:10,820
The brain when putting things together before they are finished

21
00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:14,110
all that you have see is a little bit

22
00:01:14,110 --> 00:01:19,600
and (?) got my thinking on the island, on two (?)

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:27,710
my teacher said that the male has it on (?) behaviour talk to female

24
00:01:27,710 --> 00:01:30,000
i said that how do you know that

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,790
how do you know it is not conditioned by society

26
00:01:33,790 --> 00:01:37,250
she said well what else can it be

27
00:01:37,250 --> 00:01:40,450
so on when i got

28
00:01:40,450 --> 00:01:44,310
to people who wear no clothing

29
00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:48,000
it was tropical and they ware no clothing

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,920
and the male of the island never said at female body

31
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,330
they always looked at the eyes of a female when they talked to them

32
00:01:58,330 --> 00:02:04,560
and none of their (?) and none of them had a picture of a nude woman

33
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:10,360
because they were nude as (?) say what (?) to (?)

34
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,490
has (?) a little

35
00:02:12,490 --> 00:02:18,050
so they, they never looked at female body

36
00:02:18,050 --> 00:02:22,010
and there were no peeping toms on the island

37
00:02:22,010 --> 00:02:24,370
and i wonder if you can understand that

38
00:02:24,370 --> 00:02:27,740
so the boys and girls walked around nude

39
00:02:27,740 --> 00:02:33,970
until they were about (?) your age

40
00:02:33,970 --> 00:02:42,320
in other words, they were shaped by the culture they lived in.

41
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,000
And there was nothing to see

42
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,110
then a missionary came, and they built their temporary church of canvas

43
00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:54,440
and they made t-shirts for the girl

44
00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:00,150
because they didn’t want that those to come in nude to the church

45
00:03:00,150 --> 00:03:01,750
so they made t-shirts )?)

46
00:03:01,750 --> 00:03:07,240
and they got and put t-shirts on, and they got two holes in the t-shirt

47
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,640
because they are uncomfortable

48
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:13,080
can you understand that

49
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,980
if everybody in America had a nose a foot long

50
00:03:17,980 --> 00:03:19,580
you would have surgery done

51
00:03:19,580 --> 00:03:22,670
so you would look like everybody else

52
00:03:22,670 --> 00:03:25,540
there is no such thing as beauty

53
00:03:25,540 --> 00:03:30,000
if normal people had a pointed head and two horns

54
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,520
you would call (?) them

55
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,790
there is no such thing as beauty this is made up by man

56
00:03:37,790 --> 00:03:40,650
man says is that a beautiful woman

57
00:03:40,650 --> 00:03:43,420
and that woman is not

58
00:03:43,420 --> 00:03:48,330
that is all a question of values the way you brought up

59
00:03:48,330 --> 00:03:54,660
if you were brought up on the arab world, would be normal for your daddy to have 4 wives

60
00:03:54,660 --> 00:03:56,510
if he can afford it

61
00:03:56,510 --> 00:04:00,550
and they be each one of them a day

62
00:04:00,550 --> 00:04:03,000
to teach them things

63
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,860
that would be normal to you, do you understand?

64
00:04:06,860 --> 00:04:12,350
So what whatever you see out there is normal

65
00:04:12,350 --> 00:04:14,060
normal to that culture

66
00:04:14,060 --> 00:04:18,000
if you were brought up in China as a baby

67
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,570
he speak Chinese and walk like a Chinese girl

68
00:04:22,570 --> 00:04:27,000
and you have your arms in your in the

69
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,090
under Chinese

70
00:04:29,090 --> 00:04:32,170
you would not know anything American.

71
00:04:32,170 --> 00:04:37,060
So, what you see, if you brought up in France as a baby

72
00:04:37,060 --> 00:04:39,000
you would be a French man.

73
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,660
You speak only French, if you brought up as a baby.

74
00:04:42,660 --> 00:04:47,450
If you don’t read any books or travel anywhere.

75
00:04:47,450 --> 00:04:53,290
So your environment shapes your behaviour.

76
00:04:53,290 --> 00:04:56,390
And if you ask at an american indian

77
00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:59,990
tell them you can have anything you want, what you want,

78
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,260
you would never asked for a Mercedes.

79
00:05:03,260 --> 00:05:07,020
You would never ask for twin engine (?)craft

80
00:05:07,020 --> 00:05:09,280
because does not know that exist.

81
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:14,220
He were only ask for (?) and arrow that is straight.

82
00:05:14,220 --> 00:05:19,380
So people can not reflect anything but the environment,

83
00:05:19,380 --> 00:05:21,000
they were brought up in.

84
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:27,130
Now, if you told that Beethoven was a great musician

85
00:05:27,130 --> 00:05:31,180
he were based over Bach were dropped by parachute

86
00:05:31,180 --> 00:05:38,130
over a headhunter village in the amazon as a baby without any (?)

87
00:05:38,130 --> 00:05:43,030
and you then said the minimum was 30 years old

88
00:05:43,030 --> 00:05:45,700
So what would you do to (?) head hunter

89
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:50,600
he wouldn’t (?) do you understand that

90
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,020
that is where people get their ideas

91
00:05:53,020 --> 00:05:57,970
they do not come from (?) base, and into (?) head

92
00:05:57,970 --> 00:06:00,210
a man doesn’t sit down and say

93
00:06:00,210 --> 00:06:04,240
how am i going to (?) going to make a movie camera

94
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,780
how i am going to make a camera

95
00:06:06,780 --> 00:06:12,040
somewhere in the line of his life he experienced that

96
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:17,420
so you use to make houses out of mug in the holy land

97
00:06:17,420 --> 00:06:21,910
but they had no windows, no glass for windows

98
00:06:21,910 --> 00:06:24,000
so is very dark in that

99
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000
so they made up hole in the mug

100
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000
in the (?) they made hole in the mug,

101
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,680
the outside scenery was projected on the wall upside down

102
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,290
and they called it the house of virtual images

103
00:06:40,290 --> 00:06:43,470
and they (?) two pieces of silver

104
00:06:43,470 --> 00:06:46,390
for you to see the upside down (?)

105
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:48,950
(?) what made this happen

106
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:50,420
when that was made there

107
00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:54,000
that is when the box camera came from

108
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,010
and someone says well Tesla invented the wireless

109
00:06:58,010 --> 00:07:01,030
how can a man say sit down to make the wireless

110
00:07:01,030 --> 00:07:03,620
or going to make the electric light

111
00:07:03,620 --> 00:07:07,450
he can’t do that, he see something in nature

112
00:07:07,450 --> 00:07:10,170
and this is what he saw.

113
00:07:10,170 --> 00:07:13,820
When you brought an electric wire from an electric company

114
00:07:13,820 --> 00:07:18,000
they wrap that around a card board tube

115
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,250
and you took that wire home

116
00:07:20,250 --> 00:07:22,860
but sometimes the wire is broken

117
00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:25,980
so they (?) an electric current to the coil

118
00:07:25,980 --> 00:07:28,660
to make it sure that was not broken

119
00:07:28,660 --> 00:07:36,110
and coil (?) this accurate(?) coil induce the current into stationary coil

120
00:07:36,110 --> 00:07:39,000
that would bring(?) on the table

121
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,920
that was not even connected.

122
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,000
That is why Tesla (?) the idea of the wireless.

123
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,780
He didn’t think about it, he (?) make a wireless.

124
00:07:48,780 --> 00:07:52,330
No man even said (?) make a flying machine.

125
00:07:52,330 --> 00:07:58,180
They tell you that the Wright brothers, in school, made their first airplane.

126
00:07:58,180 --> 00:08:03,940
They could not do that, because they would not know how big to make the wings

127
00:08:03,940 --> 00:08:09,240
to make them 3 feet long, a feet long, you don’t know.

128
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,970
Do you make the propeller this size, or this, you don’t know.

129
00:08:12,970 --> 00:08:17,360
So you try on different things(?), those which does not work, you set aside.

130
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,140
those that work you use.

131
00:08:19,140 --> 00:08:25,770
The Wright brothers corresponded with a guy named Otto Lilienthal

132
00:08:25,770 --> 00:08:30,000
who wrote his first book on aeronautics.

133
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,480
He wrote a book on aerodynamics.

134
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,870
And then Wright brothers read their books

135
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:42,240
otherwise they couldn’t know how possibly (?) to make the wings.

136
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,300
A (?) saw a bird flying

137
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:47,440
and says do you know why can fly

138
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,000
if i make two wings in (?)

139
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,940
you don’t know how big to make the wings

140
00:08:52,940 --> 00:08:56,290
he made them 3 feet long on each side

141
00:08:56,290 --> 00:09:00,000
and beat the air and says i can sure i can fly.

142
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,680
And he jumped off the Eiffel tower, and he died.

143
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:08,650
And these (?) law wrote made the wings larger next time.

144
00:09:08,650 --> 00:09:12,030
This is the only way you learn. There is no other way.

145
00:09:12,030 --> 00:09:16,990
Nobody invented anything, they all got it from nature.

146
00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:25,730
From some phenomena they observed.

147
00:09:25,730 --> 00:09:31,890
And as long as you (?) know, you are all equivalent to (?).

148
00:09:31,890 --> 00:09:37,320
If you brought up to be creative. What is creative person?

149
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:42,820
And i say, well, it is inborn, it is not inborn. There is nothing inborn.

150
00:09:42,820 --> 00:09:48,050
A male says to another male, hey look at that chick, she is well (?).

151
00:09:48,050 --> 00:09:53,030
That is when man get their ideas from other man.

152
00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:57,130
They are not born that way. You are not born any way.

153
00:09:57,130 --> 00:10:00,000
If you are raised by 3 feminine women,

154
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,110
that use their hands while they talk

155
00:10:02,110 --> 00:10:06,000
well when i see a gorgeous hand.

156
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,950
A boy raised by these 3 women that are very feminine

157
00:10:09,950 --> 00:10:13,580
will behave just like a woman, exactly.

158
00:10:13,580 --> 00:10:16,810
He was not born (?).

159
00:10:16,810 --> 00:10:21,020
If you were brought up by 3 feminine woman

160
00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:25,050
you would walk like a woman, you would talk like a woman, and think like a woman.

161
00:10:25,050 --> 00:10:27,590
Do you understand what i am saying?

162
00:10:27,590 --> 00:10:31,340
And if you brought up in China or France as a baby,

163
00:10:31,340 --> 00:10:33,630
and they brougth up in Germany,

164
00:10:33,630 --> 00:10:36,000
you will have to have (?) books,

165
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,400
which said heil Hitler uber alles mean above all.

166
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,000
Because that is all he would talk.

167
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,790
And you behave like Americans, not because (?).

168
00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:51,470
but because that is what you thought.

169
00:10:51,470 --> 00:10:55,170
As there is no such thing as a human nature.

170
00:10:55,170 --> 00:10:57,750
They tell you (?) human nature.

171
00:10:57,750 --> 00:11:01,400
There is no such thing.

172
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:07,320
It is the way you were brought up that makes you react to the world around you.

173
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,040
And if you don’t believe that, travel to islands.

174
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:17,810
And you find out, that even in America, as given in the good old days,

175
00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:20,620
there never were good old days.

176
00:11:20,620 --> 00:11:25,900
They burned thousands of women in (?) Massachusetts as witches.

177
00:11:25,900 --> 00:11:28,760
How many of you knew that?

178
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,800
Thousands of women were burned alive

179
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,580
because they were being accused to being a witch.

180
00:11:35,580 --> 00:11:40,950
And they were accused to (?) on a (?), and flying all over.

181
00:11:40,950 --> 00:11:44,400
So, there never were these good all days

182
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,100
there were slaves in the old days.

183
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:50,060
So i am just telling you the truth.

184
00:11:50,060 --> 00:11:54,800
I am trying to give you a (?) anima(?),

185
00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:01,520
to see that all as a shit that they pumped in your head.

186
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,580
Now, a lot of you have a name of the Cher(?) comedy

187
00:12:05,580 --> 00:12:09,860
you have being sitting here a long time on your (?).

188
00:12:09,860 --> 00:12:14,310
And i am sure that you understand what i am saying

189
00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:20,180
when i say no one can sit down and say i am going to make a wireless.

190
00:12:20,180 --> 00:12:24,000
There is no known reference for wireless.

191
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,360
No invention even came from outer space.

192
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,630
It came from (?) directly from the environment.

193
00:12:32,630 --> 00:12:37,450
And all of you can be as creative as Leonardo da Vinci

194
00:12:37,450 --> 00:12:45,860
if you were brought up in an environment that generates creativity.

195
00:12:45,860 --> 00:12:48,620
What kind of environment is that?

196
00:12:48,620 --> 00:12:53,040
You have to show a kid pictures of Chinese people.

197
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:58,440
And you have to show that kid that are millions of Chinese people in China,

198
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,160
and millions of African(?) people in Africa.

199
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,090
You have to show a kid (?) more.

200
00:13:05,090 --> 00:13:08,360
The more you show a kid, it broader their mind.

201
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,000
If you don’t show kid anything, that they were just brought up

202
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,460
in (?) and you even seen anything

203
00:13:15,460 --> 00:13:17,310
but we (?) in ice(?)

204
00:13:17,310 --> 00:13:21,550
you just have the limitations of the (?).

205
00:13:21,550 --> 00:13:24,000
Do you understand that?

206
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,750
That is the differences comes, the differences of exposure

207
00:13:28,750 --> 00:13:32,250
The more you are exposed to, the broader the mind.

208
00:13:32,250 --> 00:13:37,110
And the less you are exposed to, the dumber you are.

209
00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:40,400
And America is a very dumb country.

210
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,060
When that we get this land.

211
00:13:45,060 --> 00:13:48,000
We stole it from the indians.

212
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:53,750
The indians didn’t ask us, they came over, and do whatever you want.

213
00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:57,000
And we were told that that they are savages.

214
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,250
And we know what to do with the land.

215
00:13:59,250 --> 00:14:02,330
Now we took the land away from the indians

216
00:14:02,330 --> 00:14:06,730
by shooting indians or by starving them.

217
00:14:06,730 --> 00:14:13,260
So, the government offered money to people that killed indians,

218
00:14:13,260 --> 00:14:16,110
or their chef buffalo,

219
00:14:16,110 --> 00:14:24,040
that is indians aim. (?) starving indians (?) them,

220
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,240
because we called them savages.

221
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:32,530
We were the savages, we shot the indians, we shot them with guns.

222
00:14:32,530 --> 00:14:38,590
And they were(?) was (?), which is no way to defend yourself.

223
00:14:38,590 --> 00:14:44,910
So that, the indians (?) have no voice in anything.

224
00:14:44,910 --> 00:14:48,550
And women were not allowed to vote in America.

225
00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:54,510
Just 60, 70 years ago they were allowed to vote.

226
00:14:54,510 --> 00:15:00,080
They became only recently that women had the right to vote.

227
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,000
Woman in the future will be in politics,

228
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,380
that would be as many woman as there were man, no more no less.

229
00:15:08,380 --> 00:15:10,930
And (?) have equal rights.

230
00:15:10,930 --> 00:15:13,050
If a woman becomes an engineer,

231
00:15:13,050 --> 00:15:18,000
she doesn’t earn as much as a male engineer. Do you know that?

232
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,560
So i am just telling you a woman are still abused by this country.

233
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,040
And they would be continued to be abused,

234
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:31,130
and even when you tell woman that they are equal to man, they wont believe that.

235
00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:39,450
Because they really the propaganda that women are not curious to be engineers.

236
00:15:39,450 --> 00:15:42,770
Yes, they are just as curious as man.

237
00:15:42,770 --> 00:15:47,010
And they can be anything they want to be in the future.

238
00:15:47,010 --> 00:15:49,810
So that is it(?).

239
00:15:49,810 --> 00:15:53,780
Thank you for your time.

240
00:15:53,780 --> 00:15:57,400
I did (?) appreciate you coming here,

241
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,860
and i appreciate all the questions that you ask. Thanks again.
