- I think people are more involved 
in scarcity-driven concerns.

00:00:15.980 --> 00:00:18.740
- Oh...Yes 
- You know, more than ever!

00:00:18.860 --> 00:00:21.020
And abundance is the way 
to eliminate that.

00:00:21.140 --> 00:00:23.200
ABUNDANCE
jacque fresco

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:30.040
- Not only an abundance in resources but 
also knowledge: how to use that abundance.

00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:34.360
If you just produce an abundance

00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.200
and distribute that to people you'll 
[have] mass hedonism:

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.420
a total collapse of the society.

00:00:46.400 --> 00:00:49.200
You must educate people 
to live with that.

00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:51.640
In other words, you have to tell people

00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:54.920
even during instruction, [for example] 
learning to fly an airplane:

00:00:55.100 --> 00:00:58.300
what you can't do, what your 
landing speed has to be.

00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:02.620
If you don't have a certain speed 
you will not rise off the ground.

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:06.500
If you don't maintain the speed in landing, 
your craft will fall to the ground.

00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:09.240
These are laws, physical laws,

00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:13.540
and we must become aware 
of the physical laws

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,

00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.440
and the amount of people 
required hits that,

00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:32.920
when they cross, that's 
the end of the system."

00:01:33.080 --> 00:01:35.580
Has nothing to do with good men, bad men

00:01:35.620 --> 00:01:38.580
politics, corruption, 
fascism, free enterprise.

00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:40.320
All of these discussions

00:01:40.420 --> 00:01:43.360
about communism, socialism, 
free enterprise,

00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:47.700
fascism, become irrelevant 
in a society of an abundance
