The Venus Project is the culmination of Jacque Fresco’s life work.
He is the co-founder of The Venus Project along with Roxanne Meadows.
Since his early childhood he was search for answers through our social dilemmas.
In 1929, great depression was (?) in pushing him to search for social alternatives.
Unabled to find an acceptable solution,
he spent a lifetime working towards
a cooperative social direction that is equitable to all,
while protecting the environment.
What do you think that is...
(?) which way (?) somebody said (?)
Who said a boat(?)?
Yes, over there.
Okay. That is what it is.
Now, tell me who this is this.
This is a personality.
And let me give you another (?).
Who said (?)?
(?)
Yes they got in here(?). You have it. You got it right.
The brain when putting things together before they are finished
all that you have see is a little bit
and (?) got my thinking on the island, on two (?)
my teacher said that the male has it on (?) behaviour talk to female
i said that how do you know that
how do you know it is not conditioned by society
she said well what else can it be
so on when i got
to people who wear no clothing
it was tropical and they ware no clothing
and the male of the island never said at female body
they always looked at the eyes of a female when they talked to them
and none of their (?) and none of them had a picture of a nude woman
because they were nude as (?) say what (?) to (?)
has (?) a little
so they, they never looked at female body
and there were no peeping toms on the island
and i wonder if you can understand that
so the boys and girls walked around nude
until they were about (?) your age
in other words, they were shaped by the culture they lived in.
And there was nothing to see
then a missionary came, and they built their temporary church of canvas
and they made t-shirts for the girl
because they didn’t want that those to come in nude to the church
so they made t-shirts )?)
and they got and put t-shirts on, and they got two holes in the t-shirt
because they are uncomfortable
can you understand that
if everybody in America had a nose a foot long
you would have surgery done
so you would look like everybody else
there is no such thing as beauty
if normal people had a pointed head and two horns
you would call (?) them
there is no such thing as beauty this is made up by man
man says is that a beautiful woman
and that woman is not
that is all a question of values the way you brought up
if you were brought up on the arab world, would be normal for your daddy to have 4 wives
if he can afford it
and they be each one of them a day
to teach them things
that would be normal to you, do you understand?
So what whatever you see out there is normal
normal to that culture
if you were brought up in China as a baby
he speak Chinese and walk like a Chinese girl
and you have your arms in your in the
under Chinese
you would not know anything American.
So, what you see, if you brought up in France as a baby
you would be a French man.
You speak only French, if you brought up as a baby.
If you don’t read any books or travel anywhere.
So your environment shapes your behaviour.
And if you ask at an american indian
tell them you can have anything you want, what you want,
you would never asked for a Mercedes.
You would never ask for twin engine (?)craft
because does not know that exist.
He were only ask for (?) and arrow that is straight.
So people can not reflect anything but the environment,
they were brought up in.
Now, if you told that Beethoven was a great musician
he were based over Bach were dropped by parachute
over a headhunter village in the amazon as a baby without any (?)
and you then said the minimum was 30 years old
So what would you do to (?) head hunter
he wouldn’t (?) do you understand that
that is where people get their ideas
they do not come from (?) base, and into (?) head
a man doesn’t sit down and say
how am i going to (?) going to make a movie camera
how i am going to make a camera
somewhere in the line of his life he experienced that
so you use to make houses out of mug in the holy land
but they had no windows, no glass for windows
so is very dark in that
so they made up hole in the mug
in the (?) they made hole in the mug,
the outside scenery was projected on the wall upside down
and they called it the house of virtual images
and they (?) two pieces of silver
for you to see the upside down (?)
(?) what made this happen
when that was made there
that is when the box camera came from
and someone says well Tesla invented the wireless
how can a man say sit down to make the wireless
or going to make the electric light
he can’t do that, he see something in nature
and this is what he saw.
When you brought an electric wire from an electric company
they wrap that around a card board tube
and you took that wire home
but sometimes the wire is broken
so they (?) an electric current to the coil
to make it sure that was not broken
and coil (?) this accurate(?) coil induce the current into stationary coil
that would bring(?) on the table
that was not even connected.
That is why Tesla (?) the idea of the wireless.
He didn’t think about it, he (?) make a wireless.
No man even said (?) make a flying machine.
They tell you that the Wright brothers, in school, made their first airplane.
They could not do that, because they would not know how big to make the wings
to make them 3 feet long, a feet long, you don’t know.
Do you make the propeller this size, or this, you don’t know.
So you try on different things(?), those which does not work, you set aside.
those that work you use.
The Wright brothers corresponded with a guy named Otto Lilienthal
who wrote his first book on aeronautics.
He wrote a book on aerodynamics.
And then Wright brothers read their books
otherwise they couldn’t know how possibly (?) to make the wings.
A (?) saw a bird flying
and says do you know why can fly
if i make two wings in (?)
you don’t know how big to make the wings
he made them 3 feet long on each side
and beat the air and says i can sure i can fly.
And he jumped off the Eiffel tower, and he died.
And these (?) law wrote made the wings larger next time.
This is the only way you learn. There is no other way.
Nobody invented anything, they all got it from nature.
From some phenomena they observed.
And as long as you (?) know, you are all equivalent to (?).
If you brought up to be creative. What is creative person?
And i say, well, it is inborn, it is not inborn. There is nothing inborn.
A male says to another male, hey look at that chick, she is well (?).
That is when man get their ideas from other man.
They are not born that way. You are not born any way.
If you are raised by 3 feminine women,
that use their hands while they talk
well when i see a gorgeous hand.
A boy raised by these 3 women that are very feminine
will behave just like a woman, exactly.
He was not born (?).
If you were brought up by 3 feminine woman
you would walk like a woman, you would talk like a woman, and think like a woman.
Do you understand what i am saying?
And if you brought up in China or France as a baby,
and they brougth up in Germany,
you will have to have (?) books,
which said heil Hitler uber alles mean above all.
Because that is all he would talk.
And you behave like Americans, not because (?).
but because that is what you thought.
As there is no such thing as a human nature.
They tell you (?) human nature.
There is no such thing.
It is the way you were brought up that makes you react to the world around you.
And if you don’t believe that, travel to islands.
And you find out, that even in America, as given in the good old days,
there never were good old days.
They burned thousands of women in (?) Massachusetts as witches.
How many of you knew that?
Thousands of women were burned alive
because they were being accused to being a witch.
And they were accused to (?) on a (?), and flying all over.
So, there never were these good all days
there were slaves in the old days.
So i am just telling you the truth.
I am trying to give you a (?) anima(?),
to see that all as a shit that they pumped in your head.
Now, a lot of you have a name of the Cher(?) comedy
you have being sitting here a long time on your (?).
And i am sure that you understand what i am saying
when i say no one can sit down and say i am going to make a wireless.
There is no known reference for wireless.
No invention even came from outer space.
It came from (?) directly from the environment.
And all of you can be as creative as Leonardo da Vinci
if you were brought up in an environment that generates creativity.
What kind of environment is that?
You have to show a kid pictures of Chinese people.
And you have to show that kid that are millions of Chinese people in China,
and millions of African(?) people in Africa.
You have to show a kid (?) more.
The more you show a kid, it broader their mind.
If you don’t show kid anything, that they were just brought up
in (?) and you even seen anything
but we (?) in ice(?)
you just have the limitations of the (?).
Do you understand that?
That is the differences comes, the differences of exposure
The more you are exposed to, the broader the mind.
And the less you are exposed to, the dumber you are.
And America is a very dumb country.
When that we get this land.
We stole it from the indians.
The indians didn’t ask us, they came over, and do whatever you want.
And we were told that that they are savages.
And we know what to do with the land.
Now we took the land away from the indians
by shooting indians or by starving them.
So, the government offered money to people that killed indians,
or their chef buffalo,
that is indians aim. (?) starving indians (?) them,
because we called them savages.
We were the savages, we shot the indians, we shot them with guns.
And they were(?) was (?), which is no way to defend yourself.
So that, the indians (?) have no voice in anything.
And women were not allowed to vote in America.
Just 60, 70 years ago they were allowed to vote.
They became only recently that women had the right to vote.
Woman in the future will be in politics,
that would be as many woman as there were man, no more no less.
And (?) have equal rights.
If a woman becomes an engineer,
she doesn’t earn as much as a male engineer. Do you know that?
So i am just telling you a woman are still abused by this country.
And they would be continued to be abused,
and even when you tell woman that they are equal to man, they wont believe that.
Because they really the propaganda that women are not curious to be engineers.
Yes, they are just as curious as man.
And they can be anything they want to be in the future.
So that is it(?).
Thank you for your time.
I did (?) appreciate you coming here,
and i appreciate all the questions that you ask. Thanks again.
