TROM Voices Jacque Fresco "Technical Revolution!"
- You're talking revolution - No. Technical Revolution!
- But when society breaks down then they'll want to do it a different way
- I'm sorry about that, but it seems
that conditions were so abusive
in some lands
that they put in socialism, communism, whatever, or fascism
that fits the conditions that people live under.
None of them is a solution.
All governments, all through history, have been corrupt.
- You must know that people look at your concepts...
- Yes, I heard.
- And with utmost respect Jacque,
they will say "You're a crazy old man."'
I understand that. This is not unusual.
Every move from women's rights to child labor, were fought with battles, all the time.
No new system ever came in smoothly.
Man is the dumbest animal.
He pollutes the ocean, the air, the rivers the atmosphere, and people.
They put themselves on a pedestal, say "We're the highest form of life."
That's an ego trip! They're not. We're not civilized yet.
As long as you have prisons, police, armies, navies... We are not civilized.
Until the world learns to live together, constructively,
that'll be the beginning of a scientific age.
We're not there yet.
- You look at you now, and you're touring around, you're talking to people.
- Yes.
- And you're 94 years old. - Yes.
- You haven't got anything better to do?
- No, not now. I'm afraid of the direction that man is taking.
We have bombs now
that are like a thousand times greater than the one dropped on Hiroshima.
How stupid can you be? What can you accomplish with that?
The United States has 300 submarines,
and according to the Navy each one
has more destructive power than all the wars in history.
What do you want to accomplish with that? A burnt-out radioactive planet?
You won the war? What do you win?
It's much easier to bring the nations of the world together
not kill those that don't agree with you, bring them together.
I do all I can do, rather than fear death. I don't fear death.
I fear where man is going.
The hell they can produce is unbelievable.
Because of human, not really human stupidity, they're not educated in our schools.
If I took every soldier, I would educate them to be problem solvers, not killing machines.
