November 13 2011 Online Seminar - Jacque Fresco & Roxanne Meadows

  • 0:01 - 0:05
    One thing regarding to recordings, if you click on the channel name,
  • 0:05 - 0:09
    you would get the channel description on the right hand side.
  • 0:09 - 0:13
    And there you find information about the procedures for these sunday seminars,
  • 0:13 - 0:18
    as well as links to information material and the recordings.
  • 0:19 - 0:26
    There were someone asking about how to make the transition into an RBE reality,
  • 0:26 - 0:35
    how we are actually going to have or achieve this RBE, and what projects are currently on the go.
  • 0:35 - 0:44
    So currently we have several projects within the core teams, one is the marketing and media contacts team,
  • 0:44 - 0:50
    these teams are audio contact, larger companies, radio stations, television stations,
  • 0:50 - 0:59
    and they also tried to appoint meetings or talks on their respective program,
  • 0:59 - 1:05
    either by someone up The Venus Project or Jacque and Roxanne themselves.
  • 1:07 - 1:15
    Then we also have the marketings context team working on getting contacts in the film industry,
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    in support of the major motion picture The Venus Project is doing.
  • 1:19 - 1:23
    And then we have Linguistics Team International,
  • 1:23 - 1:30
    and they work not only for Venus Project, but they support us in translating into,
  • 1:30 - 1:34
    correct me if i'm wrong, Sue, currently eighty four different languages.
  • 1:34 - 1:38
    That's correct, Silas. Well some of the teams are larger than others,
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    but we do actually have eighty four languages, yes.
  • 1:42 - 1:51
    Right, and so this material that gets translated by the linguistic team gets translated, and it is implemented into the web pages,
  • 1:51 - 1:57
    and then by your language settings you either get the english version that is not yet translated,
  • 1:57 - 2:02
    but as soon that is translated you will actually be able to read in you own language.
  • 2:04 - 2:09
    Yes, once some translated, we spread out as much as we can.
  • 2:09 - 2:18
    And we have Youtube channels, and so on and so forth. We are encouraging all the different languages to make that own Youtube channel to put up their final results.
  • 2:19 - 2:27
    Right, thank you. And we have the writing team through the preparing the TVP magazine,
  • 2:27 - 2:32
    which will be a quarterly issue as an online magazine,
  • 2:32 - 2:37
    where you can find reports on latest technology and take a resume which the team is looking into,
  • 2:37 - 2:46
    as well as interviews where the several project coordinators, and also information and material around the project.
  • 2:46 - 2:56
    And any interviews that have been hosted on the last preparation of the magazine,
  • 2:56 - 3:09
    and once the next issue, but it is actually ready to go, which were ending to a currently January release, and then we will do quarterly update.
  • 3:10 - 3:16
    Then we have the web development team who is actually extending our current websites,
  • 3:16 - 3:20
    and adding additional functionality and information,
  • 3:20 - 3:28
    and just recently we had someone from the writing team prepared an official press kit for The Venus Project,
  • 3:28 - 3:33
    which can download on the TVP main website, which is thevenusproject.com,
  • 3:33 - 3:38
    and there on the right-hand side you will find press kits to download.
  • 3:38 - 3:44
    You can freely download them and print them at the mount or taken for your own information,
  • 3:44 - 3:49
    and we have just recently started going into the software development,
  • 3:49 - 4:00
    and we have currently teams of researchers making preparations to start the real software developments, for currently the Corcen project.
  • 4:01 - 4:08
    I was talking about this two weeks ago, if you want to have some details you can listen to the past recording from them.
  • 4:08 - 4:13
    Right. The next questions regarding the Thrive Movement.
  • 4:13 - 4:16
    I must admit i haven't heard from that yet,
  • 4:16 - 4:22
    so i would like you to send their questions as they asked before, two questions at thevenusproject.com.
  • 4:22 - 4:28
    And then, i just got another question, how should we approached tv stations or radios.
  • 4:28 - 4:39
    That it's basically what the media marketing team is doing, and if you want to have radio stations or tv stations connected, especially within your region,
  • 4:39 - 4:47
    which you can do is write their address and contact details, and some information about station in particular,
  • 4:47 - 4:52
    and sent them to mediacontacts@thevenusproject.com.
  • 4:52 - 5:01
    There's another question, what does Jacque think about distractors from our society, such as competitive sports, video games,
  • 5:01 - 5:06
    and how do we change the people who are emerged into that?
  • 5:06 - 5:12
    Competition is something that doesn't produce any benefit to society,
  • 5:12 - 5:18
    and we have been talking about this in the past a lot, so, give you just a brief overview.
  • 5:18 - 5:25
    As this topic was actually brought up two weeks ago, but anyway, how do we approach these people?
  • 5:25 - 5:32
    Provide alternatives to them, so, just don't try to force them to stop what they are doing,
  • 5:32 - 5:36
    and many of these things that cause competitive behaviour,
  • 5:36 - 5:41
    or actually done, because people like alternatives.
  • 5:41 - 5:49
    And also they are conditioned in this competitive thinking, and they just don't know it better.
  • 5:49 - 5:53
    So it's all coming down to education.
  • 5:53 - 6:05
    Okay. Another one. Someone is asking why The Venus Project is collecting money to actually producing a movie, about not using money basically.
  • 6:05 - 6:13
    Let me first focus on money thing. We are actually advocating a world where money is not needed.
  • 6:13 - 6:16
    That doesn't mean that we fight the monetary system.
  • 6:16 - 6:24
    The monetary system is a system we are living in today, so we have to deal with the rules within that system.
  • 6:24 - 6:32
    What we are trying to do is, out of the existing system, using the means of this existing system, which is money,
  • 6:32 - 6:36
    we try to create a new system that emerges out of it.
  • 6:36 - 6:47
    And therefore, we have to live without that boundaries, and actually deal with money, use money to make this idea come true.
  • 6:47 - 6:52
    And once, more and more people get educated about RBE and The Venus Project,
  • 6:52 - 6:56
    then they will understand there is an alternative,
  • 6:56 - 7:04
    and more and more people will actually join in the thinking and acting within the RBE.
  • 7:04 - 7:09
    So, over time, the monetary system is just rendered obsolete.
  • 7:09 - 7:13
    So once more and more people actually join in,
  • 7:13 - 7:17
    their way of life that we have in a resource based economy,
  • 7:17 - 7:23
    then they just stopped using money, and so, the money system is obsolete by that time.
  • 7:24 - 7:30
    So, in regards to collecting money to make that movie,
  • 7:30 - 7:37
    we are not doing, or we are not planning on doing the real small kind of video that we are doing at Youtube,
  • 7:37 - 7:45
    we're talking about a major motion picture, which is shown or shall be shown through cinemas in the whole world.
  • 7:45 - 7:54
    And the script is basically ready, what we are currently looking into is getting contacts to script writers,
  • 7:54 - 8:00
    and some others, and director and the alike,
  • 8:01 - 8:05
    and that is what the money is going to be used for.
  • 8:05 - 8:08
    So, other, any more questions?
  • 8:09 - 8:15
    Somebody in the chat is carrying on, i believe his question was answered, possibly.
  • 8:15 - 8:20
    Is this the question is not about collecting money or making movie, it's about testing a hypothesis.
  • 8:20 - 8:26
    Yes, i got it. So, just, let me read that.
  • 8:26 - 8:32
    so, you're saying the thing that just describes contrary to the principal of The Venus Project,
  • 8:32 - 8:44
    so, what about instead focusing on a game model, using freeware programs and volunteers to test our RBE hipothesis first, as with any scientific inquiry?
  • 8:44 - 8:55
    We are currently undergoing design for a game that we are planning to have people live within that RBE.
  • 8:55 - 9:02
    And, in regards to that open-source, we have talked a lot about this last week,
  • 9:02 - 9:07
    so you would like to listen to the last week's recording as well, please.
  • 9:07 - 9:10
    But i'm going to get into it a bit.
  • 9:10 - 9:16
    Where to have this properly tested within the open-source or freeware domain,
  • 9:16 - 9:22
    we would have to give out real blueprints of what we are actually planning to implement,
  • 9:22 - 9:25
    and i've been talking about this as i said last week,
  • 9:25 - 9:32
    and currently, The Venus Project not willing to giving away these blueprints, or even the ideas or concepts,
  • 9:32 - 9:40
    or the social designs, as well as designs for any real products,
  • 9:40 - 9:45
    because on one hand, this would obfuscate the idea behind it,
  • 9:45 - 9:49
    because if you have people in the open-source community add their value to it,
  • 9:49 - 9:56
    this would be most probably due to lack of education about The Venus Project
  • 9:56 - 10:01
    leaked through and misleading idea which is not The Venus Project anymore,
  • 10:01 - 10:05
    and you can not just extract parts from The Venus Project to be released on their own,
  • 10:05 - 10:09
    because what The Venus Project provides is a holistic approach,
  • 10:09 - 10:19
    so, a complete solution to today's problems and to replace the current system. That answers your question.
  • 10:19 - 10:26
    If not, please rephrase your questions and send to Daniel, i will get into another questions, for the time being and get back to you later then.
  • 10:26 - 10:32
    Making other language, i'm not a native english.
  • 10:32 - 10:39
    So, another question, is there or would be there be a public record or listing of all the Corcen current developments
  • 10:39 - 10:46
    along with the programming languages that they know when the development embalming they have been exposed to?
  • 10:46 - 10:49
    Regarding this information, that is personal information,
  • 10:49 - 10:56
    if these developers that are currently involved with the developments or the current research,
  • 10:56 - 11:02
    or willing to make these items publicly available, it's up to them,
  • 11:02 - 11:12
    but for us, since we are not taking their information that is provided to us into public from The Venus Project sites,
  • 11:12 - 11:17
    there wont be a publication about this, regarding this.
  • 11:17 - 11:23
    There is another question, how can we make institutions like the police and the military
  • 11:23 - 11:28
    to educate themselves and The Venus Project or RBE model,
  • 11:28 - 11:34
    to make it easier for them to understand alternatives, choices to the current system.
  • 11:34 - 11:36
    The thing is, this is my personal opinion now,
  • 11:36 - 11:44
    a policeman, or a politician, or soldiers, or whatever, is a human being.
  • 11:44 - 11:49
    So, you all are actually aware of The Venus Project.
  • 11:49 - 11:55
    You educated yourself around the Venus Project and to try to understand yet behind The Venus Project.
  • 11:55 - 12:03
    So, if you approach someone, not anyone in particular, either into services for anywhere else,
  • 12:03 - 12:07
    if your approach someone and want to present the ideas of The Venus Project,
  • 12:07 - 12:13
    you should do so without forcing them to listen, you just go ahead and present the information.
  • 12:13 - 12:17
    So, and if that they are interested, they get onto it,
  • 12:17 - 12:22
    otherwise if they reject you, don't threaten them or force them to listen to you,
  • 12:22 - 12:26
    just provide them the opportunity to contact you again,
  • 12:26 - 12:33
    but go on, don't spend your time trying to change one individual's mind,
  • 12:33 - 12:38
    in the time that you could use to talk to ten other people.
  • 12:38 - 12:50
    Right, next question saying, is there already software or technical capabilities of counting the distribution of more resources as described in the book?
  • 12:50 - 12:57
    What we are currently doing is, as we do a lot of research on certain latest technologies,
  • 12:57 - 13:00
    and especially have a team doing this,
  • 13:00 - 13:05
    and luckily we have the coordinator of that team present.
  • 13:05 - 13:09
    So Craig, maybe if you want to pick up this question?
  • 13:09 - 13:12
    Sorry, can you repeat the question, please, Sven?
  • 13:12 - 13:22
    Whether is already technology available, or technical capabilities in regards to counting the distribution of resources?
  • 13:22 - 13:30
    It's an interesting subject. There are currently resources available, there are projects in place attempting to do this.
  • 13:30 - 13:33
    The Venus Project is actually acting as individuals,
  • 13:33 - 13:42
    what would be you do in the long term is to collect this information together, hopefully cloud computing will help in the near future.
  • 13:42 - 13:48
    Currently i don't think with them yet, but Google as one example,
  • 13:48 - 13:53
    Google is currently putting this system information analysis in place,
  • 13:53 - 13:59
    on what they think they would be pioneers moving forward, we can only wait and see what they balance.
  • 13:59 - 14:07
    Currently people acts as individuals, and that makes it very difficult lacks of access as all that well and information in one place.
  • 14:07 - 14:12
    And so that is what will be looking to do over the future is to bring people together
  • 14:12 - 14:19
    and to provide a platform, an archive with all that data can be accessed from the same point.
  • 14:21 - 14:24
    Well, you are offering a lecture to that maybe.
  • 14:24 - 14:33
    Yes, so good. I would say that basic technology for all of this available in broad range,
  • 14:33 - 14:40
    so, there are sensors for everything, in every size you would possibly imagine, almost.
  • 14:40 - 14:46
    We have the technology, we have fast computers, we have the networks for it, we have the connections so to say,
  • 14:46 - 14:49
    what we still need is the correlation of all of these things.
  • 14:49 - 14:54
    like i said, for example, Google is working on this since the beginning,
  • 14:54 - 14:57
    since the start, because that is what they do, they correlate data.
  • 14:57 - 15:02
    And they are, of course, spreading out in every aspect of society and tecnology.
  • 15:02 - 15:05
    And the base means for all of these are although already,
  • 15:05 - 15:14
    and what we have to do now is to correlate all of this and and get a holistic approach to use the technology right,
  • 15:14 - 15:17
    because mostly what we see in today's means,
  • 15:17 - 15:22
    like, for example, if you, i don't know, i turn around and see my friends standing here,
  • 15:22 - 15:28
    this is not real good technology, this is planned obsolescence so to say, and if we look, take a look at real technology,
  • 15:28 - 15:34
    how technology could be used in an optimized way, then we see that this is not mean of as a possible,
  • 15:34 - 15:39
    it doesn't mean off when do we begin to implement, so to say, it's this is why all of we i think.
  • 15:40 - 15:47
    Right, thank you. And basically correlation is actually a buzzword that i want to pick up now,
  • 15:47 - 15:51
    this is basically the Corcen project, taking all the technology that is available,
  • 15:51 - 15:57
    and bring them together, so of course that stands for is correlation center,
  • 15:57 - 16:04
    and this is meant to be the computing core within a worldwide network,
  • 16:04 - 16:13
    including everything that is available regards to resources, measured by sensors, production capabilities,
  • 16:13 - 16:22
    everything that is going on within a city, from waste disposal recycling, back to food production and the alike.
  • 16:22 - 16:27
    So this is all going to be treated and realized using the status of our technology,
  • 16:27 - 16:33
    and all brought together within that Corcen project.
  • 16:33 - 16:43
    Next question is, would The Venus Project's resource based economy simulation make using CryEngine3, include physics simulation,
  • 16:43 - 16:51
    of included structures also with the use of the able to change parameters of structures that are testing?
  • 16:51 - 16:55
    He is referring to rich folding gaming sample.
  • 16:55 - 16:59
    What we are trying to achieve was this simulation we are currently planning
  • 16:59 - 17:05
    is one of the minor steps of the Corcen project together with the 3d architecture design teams
  • 17:05 - 17:12
    is to make simulation about what it would be to live within a RBE city.
  • 17:12 - 17:18
    That will take the most prominent example of one of Jacque's designs which is the circular serie scheme,
  • 17:18 - 17:24
    and all city will be designed in a 3d architectural way using CAD,
  • 17:24 - 17:30
    and then make simulation that runs on the CryEngine,
  • 17:30 - 17:37
    and this CryEngine will then open up to the artificial intelligence system developed by the Corcen teams,
  • 17:37 - 17:48
    and out of this we created a simulation that is truly interactive if there is physics within that simulation.
  • 17:48 - 17:55
    That has to be determined, so that is subject to evaluation on future.
  • 17:55 - 18:02
    But what you would be able to is, you can freely move within that city, you can interact with all appliances throughout the city,
  • 18:02 - 18:08
    you can get a reading on all the measurements like energy consumption, and how many people,
  • 18:08 - 18:13
    or scenarios where you can, and the amount of people live in that city,
  • 18:13 - 18:21
    and have the audios reflect accordingly of that is would have impact on consumption and production.
  • 18:23 - 18:30
    So, another question is, when this individual went to Venus, he heard Jacque and Roxanne talking about a country,
  • 18:30 - 18:36
    that it was about to start through the city win. Please ask him whether that's on the way now.
  • 18:36 - 18:44
    So currently, we're still waiting for someone to offer a place where would a book that first test city.
  • 18:44 - 18:50
    And i don't know any details about what they actually told this individual asking the question here,
  • 18:50 - 18:55
    so i'd rather not go into that because i was not a witness to that discussion,
  • 18:55 - 19:01
    so please postpone this questions or next week when hopefully Jacque and Roxanne
  • 19:01 - 19:04
    as so as any technical issues and or back with us.
  • 19:06 - 19:10
    So, there is an update on the CryEngine having a high demand of resources,
  • 19:10 - 19:17
    so why not use something that is more friendly to our average computer?
  • 19:17 - 19:25
    And the CryEngine is... what the decision for CryEngine has been made, about how did your goal?
  • 19:25 - 19:30
    So, by the time, we have gaps to the point where we have to decide on a game engine,
  • 19:30 - 19:34
    or some other rendering engine to run this simulation,
  • 19:34 - 19:38
    we might revise that decision for CryEngine,
  • 19:38 - 19:45
    and take the latest status available by the time we get to actually do that release or the simulation.
  • 19:45 - 19:49
    Okay, here is a question regarding the global village construction set,
  • 19:49 - 19:56
    and that individual is saying in a way they do something similar to The Venus Project,
  • 19:56 - 20:01
    and in terms of developing machinery to build new cities from scratch,
  • 20:01 - 20:07
    so what is the potential partnership here, or The Venus Project has little relationship?
  • 20:07 - 20:16
    So, i know that technical research team is in close contact with the providers of this technology,
  • 20:16 - 20:23
    and Craig, you just pointed out to be less toward your last week that were actually in contact with their director,
  • 20:23 - 20:27
    and maybe you could give a brief update on that?
  • 20:27 - 20:34
    Yes, i'm not in contact directly with Martin, i mean, the contact with the european director, Nikolai Georgia.
  • 20:34 - 20:41
    Those european directors are in direct communication with Martin, and it goes over the states.
  • 20:41 - 20:46
    They're attempting to start a project of, which is Europe based,
  • 20:46 - 20:51
    that would be a partner project that Martin in doing in the States.
  • 20:51 - 21:00
    But i would suggest that they are not, in fact, providing any tools for city construction.
  • 21:00 - 21:05
    They are at state in providing tools for village construction,
  • 21:05 - 21:11
    and there is a significant difference in the type of technology used.
  • 21:11 - 21:23
    Let me give you an example: an earth brick press would not be sufficient for our construction needs in building a large-scale city.
  • 21:23 - 21:26
    So, up discussing these things in detailed,
  • 21:26 - 21:30
    we were agreed that in regard to the technologies that we would use,
  • 21:30 - 21:41
    the tools that would be sufficient for constructing the village construction set or the TVP city, there are significant differences.
  • 21:41 - 21:50
    That's said, we also have a number of things in common, so i would like this to remain mutually supportive,
  • 21:50 - 21:56
    but i would like an acknowledgement that there are significant differences.
  • 21:56 - 22:03
    Right, thank you. So, i don't have any more questions at the moment.
  • 22:04 - 22:07
    And if you feel that i didn't answer your questions properly,
  • 22:07 - 22:12
    please ask again, revising your question again, bear in mind that i'm not native,
  • 22:12 - 22:15
    so you might change the wording a bit.
  • 22:16 - 22:23
    So, here is a question regarding holding the first city of scrap material, for example, clay,
  • 22:23 - 22:29
    this will save a lot of money, and can be built without large financial investments.
  • 22:29 - 22:36
    So i don't know whether you are i'd rather look at the design of The Venus Project is proposing,
  • 22:36 - 22:44
    what i can, what i see in place, specially useful for, maybe to attain the way leading to the foundation,
  • 22:44 - 22:47
    but you can't have a look at these buildings, especially the smaller ones,
  • 22:47 - 22:51
    they are planned to be made of concrete,
  • 22:51 - 22:59
    and i don't know enough about construction work or about architecture,
  • 22:59 - 23:04
    to actually make you could call them played being used instead of concrete.
  • 23:04 - 23:10
    So i rather think it's not possible to build these structures with clay,
  • 23:10 - 23:19
    and also on the other hand, there is a special idea behind the way these materials are actually mixed,
  • 23:19 - 23:26
    so we are planning to have the surface of the building used for heat regulation,
  • 23:26 - 23:32
    as well as energy production, or heat production,
  • 23:32 - 23:36
    and therefore clay, in my understanding, is not suitable.
  • 23:36 - 23:40
    A thing i would like to add in this, referring to what Jacque said,
  • 23:40 - 23:42
    and yes, this is what i would like to just forward,
  • 23:42 - 23:46
    and the way i were saying that, and so please, ask him again it you want to...
  • 23:46 - 23:52
    but i understand that this would be mostly using black composite materials,
  • 23:52 - 23:57
    well, maybe also taken the involved because of a certain attributes that it would could benefit from,
  • 23:57 - 24:00
    but most things will be like what Sven said,
  • 24:00 - 24:08
    would just like to use some of these material directly for these heat absorption and so on, and energy production,
  • 24:08 - 24:16
    so we need composite materials, so we don't have to add up another additional black solar collector onto the roof off of the building, for example,
  • 24:16 - 24:20
    should be all the sides, one layer so to say,
  • 24:20 - 24:27
    or at least in the package that can be put onto a building without further efforts and materials and so on.
  • 24:27 - 24:33
    And yes, this is why in most cases there will be, i think, composite materials to have certain attributes
  • 24:33 - 24:39
    combined by the materials that are involved in them and the composite.
  • 24:39 - 24:47
    There is a good talk video on an youtube channel which is called The Venus Project cities
  • 24:47 - 24:51
    and there high level of the design of the cities is explained,
  • 24:51 - 24:58
    and also those short description on the materials used. Go ahed Craig, please.
  • 24:58 - 25:05
    Thanks, Sven. Okay, let's arrive into a mutual understanding, so we will get this,
  • 25:05 - 25:13
    The Venus Project does propose, in a long term, the recycle all materials that we are able to do so with,
  • 25:13 - 25:17
    and that is planet wide, that would be management of the earth's resources,
  • 25:17 - 25:22
    so yes, we would propose the use of recycled materials.
  • 25:22 - 25:26
    But i'll refer back again with a global village construction set,
  • 25:26 - 25:31
    it is possible to go through waste them, and pick up some scrap metals,
  • 25:31 - 25:37
    and put together attract that there is sufficient for a self-sustaining village.
  • 25:37 - 25:46
    Is not possible to gather those reciclable materials from a local dome, but building a complex city design.
  • 25:46 - 25:51
    So what we would be very, very interested in,
  • 25:51 - 25:59
    are technologies that could recycle materials on a large scale,
  • 25:59 - 26:04
    that interesting technologies that allow to be released
  • 26:04 - 26:12
    proposals from recycling all of the plastic that sits in the ocean
  • 26:12 - 26:17
    and reconverting that plastic into usable oil.
  • 26:17 - 26:25
    Now, this type of technology would be very beneficial, not only to The Venus Project's design,
  • 26:25 - 26:30
    but to the global management of all our finite resources.
  • 26:30 - 26:39
    So i would urge if any of you come across these types of recycling technologies,
  • 26:39 - 26:47
    please e-mail those e-mails to tech.research@thevenusproject.com
  • 26:47 - 26:57
    and we would certainly consider using any recycling technologies that we have available to us.
  • 26:57 - 27:00
    Right, thank you, Craig. Just a small addiction to that,
  • 27:00 - 27:07
    in the long run, what The Venus Project is basically advertising is to abandon the current cities,
  • 27:07 - 27:13
    and then take those cities down and reuse that materials well,
  • 27:13 - 27:21
    and maybe would be one, two, three cities each country in place to act like a museum,
  • 27:21 - 27:25
    basically until it rest down to use those resources as well,
  • 27:25 - 27:28
    because that also fits into the scheme of recycling.
  • 27:29 - 27:32
    But let me get back to next questioner
  • 27:32 - 27:37
    that someone is asked him why we don't use Kickstarter to get the funding for the movie.
  • 27:37 - 27:40
    I must admit i don't know what Kickstarter is,
  • 27:40 - 27:45
    so, either provide some background information by sending a question of them to Daniel,
  • 27:45 - 27:48
    including that information and then i might get back to it,
  • 27:48 - 27:53
    and forward that question to questions@thevenusproject.com,
  • 27:53 - 27:58
    so we can do another research in preparation for the question.
  • 27:58 - 28:03
    Yes, that's right, Sven, it's not the first recommendation that i think the Kickstarter.
  • 28:03 - 28:07
    Right, anyway, just forward that question, please.
  • 28:07 - 28:13
    Getting to the next one, the RBE simulation would about one city, ignoring other cities,
  • 28:13 - 28:17
    in that they provide what evidence in the city demands,
  • 28:17 - 28:21
    you must understand that we're talking about a simulation,
  • 28:21 - 28:25
    so everything that is out of the scope of one city,
  • 28:25 - 28:29
    it's also simulated as it did work there,
  • 28:29 - 28:32
    so, we simulate the connection to Corcen,
  • 28:32 - 28:38
    we simulate the connection to all the construction sites that are not within the cities,
  • 28:38 - 28:48
    we are also simulating the connections to resources that are not available to that city, but have to be delivered to that city.
  • 28:48 - 28:55
    So we take care of that as well and the simulation, and definitely the Corcen project.
  • 28:55 - 28:59
    Okay, getting back to the scheme engine question is another one,
  • 28:59 - 29:05
    it is not simple to switch a game engine, and which includes reprogramming,
  • 29:05 - 29:13
    yes i do agree, and first of all, we are going to do that 3d design apart from that engine,
  • 29:13 - 29:22
    and by the time we would have to pick an engine, then we will take the latest and best suitable available,
  • 29:22 - 29:28
    and by that time, we will actually start the coding, not before.
  • 29:28 - 29:34
    So, the whole 3D is done in CAD, and once that it's done,
  • 29:34 - 29:40
    we go ahead and implemented into the game engine to be determined.
  • 29:41 - 29:48
    And the next question is, it what it is a platform of current developments to speak an reach between each other
  • 29:48 - 29:53
    and i don't know when you see the large list of developers,
  • 29:53 - 29:56
    you most probably you are prone to all the technical database.
  • 29:56 - 30:03
    Let me ask for the first question, we use common means of communication that is used on the internet, we have Skype, we use the TeamSpeak server,
  • 30:03 - 30:13
    we use e-mails, we use mailing groups, we use other collaboration tools that are pretty available, and nothing special about this.
  • 30:14 - 30:19
    And in regards to the other question of list of developers, we do have a technical data base
  • 30:19 - 30:24
    where you can actually sign in if you want to support The Venus Project,
  • 30:24 - 30:28
    we just occur if you want to join the design teams projects,
  • 30:28 - 30:31
    you can actually enter your details there,
  • 30:31 - 30:37
    and as soon as we either have within a ongoing project,
  • 30:37 - 30:41
    or in new projects to be created need for specialist from a certain area,
  • 30:41 - 30:48
    we go against this database and create a reform several positions that are used on that team,
  • 30:48 - 30:54
    and then you go forward and contact these people that have joined this database.
  • 30:55 - 31:04
    So, another one, how is this society living in a resource based economy manage certain situation of non-abundance,
  • 31:04 - 31:11
    when we would have to make choices between crucial things for the human needs? what would we do?
  • 31:11 - 31:17
    Let me liberate a bit forward about this. I have being talking about the monetary system rendering its up obsolete.
  • 31:17 - 31:26
    So what does it causes is a lot of professions that are directly related to the monetary system will also become obsolete.
  • 31:26 - 31:30
    These people will have to have something new that they can focus on.
  • 31:30 - 31:35
    And since also science is not the anymore dependent on their money,
  • 31:35 - 31:45
    and the patent system would therefore also breaking down, scientists not limited anymore about the impact of anymore by that time.
  • 31:45 - 31:52
    So we were actually experience an imense boost in scientific output,
  • 31:52 - 31:57
    and if you've come across something that is scarce,
  • 31:57 - 32:04
    then you said scientists into it, or they were most probably jump onto it willingly on their own,
  • 32:04 - 32:14
    they would discover something to replace what is missing, or something that is about to become scarce.
  • 32:14 - 32:18
    Is also pointing out NZP project?
  • 32:18 - 32:22
    I haven't heard from that so forth, i'll look into it later on,
  • 32:22 - 32:27
    but you could also patrol support back to the questions that The Venus Project that can be known, please,
  • 32:27 - 32:32
    so we can spend a bit more research on that and get back to it until next seminars.
  • 32:34 - 32:36
    Getting to the next one.
  • 32:37 - 32:44
    So it's clear that most of the problems in history have to pass by money, politics, patriotism and religion,
  • 32:44 - 32:50
    but for most of the people would be impossible to live in a society without them.
  • 32:50 - 32:55
    Do you think this would be a good approach to introduce The Venus Project to people?
  • 32:55 - 33:01
    I hope i get to question right, you're talking about the problems of today's systems,
  • 33:01 - 33:09
    as well as basically or whole history that actually left to the problems we have today,
  • 33:09 - 33:19
    and introducing The Venus Project is like you provide an alternative to the pursuits of the current system,
  • 33:19 - 33:28
    so what you do is to sort introducing people to it, presenting, spread the ideas throught the world, and make people aware of it.
  • 33:28 - 33:35
    There's one thing that is quite obvious. The current system is not be able to hold on much longer.
  • 33:35 - 33:42
    What we will actually experienced during the coming years is the collapse of the monetary system.
  • 33:42 - 33:48
    What we are actually trying is to be ready for that collapse,
  • 33:48 - 33:58
    so by the time this monetary system collapses we have spread the idea of resource based economy widely enough to have people aware of it,
  • 33:58 - 34:04
    so when they start over, they don't do the same mistakes again.
  • 34:04 - 34:13
    So, by the time the monetary system collapses, we want to be there and camera corn saying we got something prepared to solve your problems.
  • 34:13 - 34:20
    So therefore, we have to educate ourselves, educate the people around us talk to as many people as you can,
  • 34:20 - 34:29
    make the more appropriate idea of the resource based economy, point them into The Venus Project, and try to spread the work, that's it.
  • 34:30 - 34:34
    And hopefully that answers your question, if not they said so.
  • 34:34 - 34:39
    Here is another question how The Venus Project tests it's own hipothesis.
  • 34:39 - 34:45
    Within the project we advocate the use of scientific means and methods.
  • 34:45 - 34:53
    And this is also something we invite to the problems we are about to solve or trying to solve.
  • 34:53 - 35:01
    And, i'm not responding to questions, sorry, or interest sort this out...
  • 35:02 - 35:10
    Okay. We are not claiming to be the ultimate solution or the one only system that is there to be.
  • 35:10 - 35:14
    The only thing we say about The Venus Project is,
  • 35:14 - 35:20
    it is like while others might person, i guess, it's like 100% better than the work we currently have.
  • 35:20 - 35:26
    Later on, people will fall in develop the concept of The Venus Project.
  • 35:26 - 35:33
    It is not the same of the ultimate solution, it is the best we can think of now.
  • 35:35 - 35:40
    So, there is another question about regarding the vegan food or raw food diet.
  • 35:40 - 35:43
    That has been talked about up in the past.
  • 35:43 - 35:50
    The Venus Project is not telling you what to eat, or how to behave, or everything and the alike.
  • 35:50 - 35:53
    So, basically the choice of what you're going to eat
  • 35:53 - 35:57
    is based on your background or in your personal choice in the level of your education.
  • 35:57 - 36:04
    If you understand that imagine based nutrition and diet is that's it for you, you go with that,
  • 36:04 - 36:09
    if you make the choice of sticking with meat , that's also your choice.
  • 36:09 - 36:15
    And there is been on one of Jacque's talks on the interviews,
  • 36:15 - 36:19
    he was actually proposing scientific approach to that,
  • 36:19 - 36:28
    maybe in the future we will be able to do gene developments that we can actually beef tissue,
  • 36:28 - 36:33
    and then, if you grow or stake your without having to slaughter any cattle.
  • 36:33 - 36:37
    But basically, The Venus Project is not telling you what to eat.
  • 36:37 - 36:41
    That is still going back to your own decision.
  • 36:41 - 36:46
    I would like to get clear of what you said, by saying gene development,
  • 36:46 - 36:50
    i think you don't mean gene experiments like DNA altering and so on,
  • 36:50 - 36:53
    without a long term we study before this,
  • 36:53 - 36:58
    and really deep considerations about anything that has to do with it,
  • 36:58 - 37:04
    i think what you were referring to is the nanotechnology to build up molecular structures
  • 37:04 - 37:11
    that then look like behave and unlike beef tissue for example, is that correct?
  • 37:12 - 37:15
    Right, Daniel. Thank you.
  • 37:15 - 37:19
    Okay, thanks. And one thing, i want to add on this.
  • 37:19 - 37:24
    i think we can just start the development of real research about these topics,
  • 37:24 - 37:31
    when we have arrived at some point of the civilization that we are wanting to achieve.
  • 37:31 - 37:39
    Because what we are dealing with there is then, also significant decrease often stress levels and so on.
  • 37:39 - 37:45
    So, this is a big impact of human have altogether, i think, at least for my opinion, of all i understand it,
  • 37:45 - 37:51
    and i think we can begin, then, to take into account the real causes for what we want to research,
  • 37:51 - 37:56
    what we want to change, and how we should behave, so to say.
  • 37:56 - 38:02
    And all of these things, they would be correlated, then, again, in another totally, another environment.
  • 38:02 - 38:05
    So, we have to look at these things
  • 38:05 - 38:10
    when we look at them in today’s measures, and also in today's environment, it is important, i think.
  • 38:12 - 38:16
    Right, master understand that education will change
  • 38:16 - 38:28
    therefore the level of understanding by the regular individual, without scientific backround, compared to today's backgrounds,
  • 38:28 - 38:35
    would be much higher, so the overall general education will not be comparable to today's,
  • 38:35 - 38:42
    because you raise your kids in another way compared to today.
  • 38:42 - 38:48
    Just that beside note day many people pick their job by a the rates of income,
  • 38:48 - 38:53
    they don't pick their job because they like it, overheat saw them to do that.
  • 38:53 - 39:00
    Basically, the ultimate reason to choose a job or profession is, can i make a living up to it.
  • 39:00 - 39:09
    In the future, you don’t have to think that way, you can go and study as much and whatever topic your like.
  • 39:09 - 39:12
    So, let me get back to this question here.
  • 39:12 - 39:17
    I was at The Venus Project addressing topics like, for example, permaculture.
  • 39:17 - 39:22
    Someone just said to me that there are two groups, one was The Venus Project design teams,
  • 39:22 - 39:27
    that deal with design and technical objects and technologies to use right,
  • 39:27 - 39:35
    and the other is to take a research team which searches for automated available technology providing bet to design teams.
  • 39:35 - 39:38
    So, let me get back to the technical database.
  • 39:38 - 39:47
    This technical data bases not only there to provide access to members that are going to, going to be on the teams doing directly development,
  • 39:47 - 39:52
    but we also have people would have an agricultural background, we have behavioral scientists,
  • 39:52 - 39:58
    basically we have everything that covers science available in that database.
  • 39:58 - 40:05
    So if we arrive at that problem, that's let's say involves hydroponics our opponents order like,
  • 40:05 - 40:10
    in regard certainly culture we can go against this database,
  • 40:10 - 40:19
    and identify individuals that have come from that background to be experts on that field, in support of the team doing to development.
  • 40:20 - 40:28
    So, next question, i would like to know all of this technology that have being used on TVP actually being published
  • 40:28 - 40:34
    so everyone can access to let them can also test in try that and their own country and personal lives.
  • 40:34 - 40:44
    So what we are providing us as the outcome of productivity design teams proofing is we will have to write about stimulation,
  • 40:44 - 40:53
    and this simulation will give you an inside stand identified that early on and to also going to be able to download at,
  • 40:53 - 41:01
    we have not get decided on the needs of publishing, but it will be freely available.
  • 41:01 - 41:13
    And the Corcen project itself, or other design projects will be freely available by that time they are actually completed.
  • 41:15 - 41:23
    Someone is asking what if the Corcen project could be a (?) or rpg, which is massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
  • 41:23 - 41:30
    You are mixing ideas. One thing is we are planning on developing the computer game.
  • 41:30 - 41:39
    And that is a game within the Resource Based Economy. And we will make that also freeely available.
  • 41:39 - 41:43
    And what it is going to be is not yet decided.
  • 41:43 - 41:53
    Most probably will not be an RPG, because these are, if it comes down to cost, they are comparable to a major motion picture,
  • 41:53 - 41:58
    and it is just not viable in regards to the game design.
  • 41:58 - 42:03
    We currently (?) into browser-based games and the alike,
  • 42:03 - 42:07
    but the decision of what kind of game it is going to be is not yet made.
  • 42:10 - 42:17
    And next question. Could Corcen project, when fully developed, give a better perspective to how RBE could work?
  • 42:17 - 42:22
    So again, and referring back to the simulation, this is what we are trying to do,
  • 42:22 - 42:28
    is to make people aware of how we all are expecting a future, or our design for the future.
  • 42:28 - 42:38
    And if so, would TVP support academics to look pure review and it needed, could the Corcen project implementation of RBE?
  • 42:38 - 42:44
    Again, we take our resources out of the volunteers that are signing up into the database.
  • 42:44 - 42:49
    And we support everyone who is willing to support us.
  • 42:49 - 42:54
    And, if someone in the database subjections against our design,
  • 42:54 - 43:01
    they are free to, actually join in on the database and competence directly to work on the project as well.
  • 43:01 - 43:06
    And, if you feel you can contribute to the project,
  • 43:06 - 43:12
    you can go and sign up to the technical database which you can find on the our main website,
  • 43:12 - 43:18
    and then you can actually try to get involved into the real development.
  • 43:19 - 43:26
    So, next question. I would actually i have you order to e-mail addressed to you.
  • 43:26 - 43:30
    He is asking about if our test data is for the TVP hypothesis.
  • 43:30 - 43:34
    And i don't know what test are you talking about.
  • 43:38 - 43:48
    Just picking that one question from the main chat. Yes i have been saying we provide a solution. And we are not (?) with that solution.
  • 43:48 - 43:53
    Because we are only aware of our system we are living at the moment.
  • 43:53 - 43:58
    And as an alternative we provided the idea of The Venus Project.
  • 43:58 - 44:04
    So, if we actually get to The Venus Project ideals, which is a resource based economy,
  • 44:04 - 44:09
    this can be later on developed into another direction completely,
  • 44:09 - 44:18
    because maybe following generations come to the conclusion or arrived at the decision that another approach needs to be implemented.
  • 44:18 - 44:25
    We cannot make that plain today, because that is based on future developments.
  • 44:25 - 44:33
    So, we are not aware of this development at this point in time, so this is a decision for generations to come.
  • 44:34 - 44:39
    So if there are not any more questions, let's get to an end.
  • 44:39 - 44:44
    If you feel you have a really urgent question and open up the room,
  • 44:44 - 44:47
    but i have the following will follow up meeting this as well,
  • 44:47 - 44:56
    so, i'm here to take like another one or two questions, so the (?) or speech now.
  • 44:59 - 45:04
    If i may, i would like to just get a quick plug into the linguistic team.
  • 45:04 - 45:08
    Anybody wishing to help within the linguistic team, that would be so nice.
  • 45:08 - 45:14
    And please get in touch with linguisticteam@thevenusproject.com .
  • 45:14 - 45:20
    We need people, not just those that speaks languages, but also need people who only speak English,
  • 45:20 - 45:24
    because we need help to make the English transcriptions for us.
  • 45:24 - 45:28
    So, yes, the dog is a very (?) dog.
  • 45:28 - 45:34
    So, if anyone would like to, today would be all right, we would ask them address down for you.
  • 45:34 - 45:40
    Right. Thank you, Sue. So, any more questions?
  • 45:41 - 45:46
    Let’s Sue, just photo post in the matter of the linguistic teams.
  • 45:46 - 45:53
    So, you can contact her or Ray using that address, which is right, you share just like that, right?
  • 45:53 - 46:01
    Yes, everything needed, they answered as you go. And when i receive your e-mail, it will send to the corresponding coordinated whichever language,
  • 46:01 - 46:08
    or the English coordinator, in the case that you would have a transcriptions. Everybody welcome.
  • 46:09 - 46:16
    Right, Sue. If there are not any more questions that are urgent, i would ask that you come to next week seminar,
  • 46:16 - 46:26
    and during the week, send your questions to question@thevenusproject.com , specially regarding questions that they are research on our side.
  • 46:26 - 46:30
    So we can actually prepare to answer these questions.
  • 46:30 - 46:38
    Thank you for attending this meeting, and i hope we can still hear you next week again.
  • 46:38 - 46:43
    Thank you very much, Sven. Very pleasure to listen to you.
