00:00:09,260 --> 00:00:15,800
- I think people are more involved 
in scarcity-driven concerns.

3
00:00:15,980 --> 00:00:18,740
- Oh...Yes 
- You know, more than ever!

4
00:00:18,860 --> 00:00:21,020
And abundance is the way 
to eliminate that.

5
00:00:21,140 --> 00:00:23,200
ABUNDANCE
jacque fresco

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,040
- Not only an abundance in resources but 
also knowledge: how to use that abundance.

7
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,360
If you just produce an abundance

8
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,200
and distribute that to people you'll 
[have] mass hedonism:

9
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,420
a total collapse of the society.

10
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,200
You must educate people 
to live with that.

11
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,640
In other words, you have to tell people

12
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,920
even during instruction, [for example] 
learning to fly an airplane:

13
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:58,300
what you can't do, what your 
landing speed has to be.

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,620
If you don't have a certain speed 
you will not rise off the ground.

15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,500
If you don't maintain the speed in landing, 
your craft will fall to the ground.

16
00:01:06,660 --> 00:01:09,240
These are laws, physical laws,

17
00:01:09,460 --> 00:01:13,540
and we must become aware 
of the physical laws

18
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:18,400
that affect human behavior, 
our values, our lifestyle.

00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,480
[J. Rifkin] said: 
"When production hits this,

20
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,440
and the amount of people 
required hits that,

21
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:32,920
when they cross, that's 
the end of the system."

22
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,580
Has nothing to do with good men, bad men

23
00:01:35,620 --> 00:01:38,580
politics, corruption, 
fascism, free enterprise.

24
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,320
All of these discussions

25
00:01:40,420 --> 00:01:43,360
about communism, socialism, 
free enterprise,

26
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,700
fascism, become irrelevant 
in a society of an abundance
