0:00:14.109,0:00:15.629
I want to thank all of you

0:00:15.629,0:00:17.609
for coming

0:00:17.609,0:00:22.619
and doing the work you're doing to inform other people.

0:00:22.619,0:00:26.839
I'm gonna say a lot of things that may bother some of you.

0:00:26.839,0:00:28.409
But please be patient.

0:00:28.409,0:00:30.399
I'm not your enemy.

0:00:30.399,0:00:32.380
I'm gonna tell you things that...

0:00:32.380,0:00:36.230
about you society you may or may not know.

0:00:36.230,0:00:37.940
I want to say first

0:00:37.940,0:00:40.310
that the language we speak

0:00:40.310,0:00:43.200
was designed hundreds of years ago.

0:00:43.200,0:00:45.599
And it's almost impossible

0:00:45.599,0:00:47.090
to talk to one another.

0:00:47.090,0:00:49.810
Although we think we talk to one another,

0:00:49.810,0:00:52.100
we really repeat in language

0:00:52.100,0:00:54.240
that's highly insufficient.

0:00:54.240,0:00:58.260
Whatever you say to other people, it goes in their heads

0:00:58.260,0:01:01.520
and comes out to fit their society.

0:01:01.520,0:01:04.340
You don't always communicate with people.

0:01:04.340,0:01:06.240
So the problem is -

0:01:06.240,0:01:08.330
can we develop a language

0:01:08.330,0:01:09.650
that has

0:01:09.650,0:01:12.090
consistent meaning?

0:01:12.090,0:01:14.360
Well, if you still don't understand me -

0:01:14.360,0:01:17.800
sometimes I might say "Have a nice weekend."

0:01:17.800,0:01:20.290
Why don't we say "Have a nice life"?

0:01:20.290,0:01:23.040
Why just a weekend?

0:01:23.040,0:01:25.670
Our language, again, is old.

0:01:25.670,0:01:28.190
Is it possible to devise a language

0:01:28.190,0:01:31.100
that's not subject to interpretation?

0:01:31.100,0:01:32.829
When you read the bible,

0:01:32.829,0:01:34.190
(if you do)

0:01:34.190,0:01:37.450
it says "Jesus meant this" (somebody says that).

0:01:37.450,0:01:39.470
"Oh, no. He meant that."

0:01:39.470,0:01:43.180
The third people says "You're both wrong. This is what he really meant."

0:01:43.180,0:01:44.729
So you have the Lutheran,

0:01:44.729,0:01:47.659
the seven days Adventist, the Catholic,

0:01:47.659,0:01:49.080
because it's subject

0:01:49.080,0:01:51.190
to interpretation.

0:01:51.190,0:01:54.420
The language of chemistry, mathematics,

0:01:54.420,0:01:55.429
science,

0:01:55.429,0:01:56.509
engineering

0:01:56.509,0:01:58.840
is not subject to interpretation.

0:01:58.840,0:02:01.330
When a chemist writes a formula,

0:02:01.330,0:02:05.689
no matter what country it goes to, they interpret it the same way.

0:02:05.689,0:02:08.199
I'm trying to tell you, it's possible

0:02:08.199,0:02:09.770
to develop a language

0:02:09.770,0:02:12.319
that's not subject to interpretation.

0:02:12.319,0:02:14.769
So, we really talk at each other,

0:02:14.769,0:02:16.709
rather than to one another.

0:02:16.709,0:02:20.549
That's a major problem, that's why lawyers exist.

0:02:20.549,0:02:22.099
They can take language,

0:02:22.099,0:02:24.000
mold it, reshape it.

0:02:24.000,0:02:25.939
But you can't do that.

0:02:25.939,0:02:29.169
Those of you who do want to know how to communicate,

0:02:29.169,0:02:30.260
there are books

0:02:30.260,0:02:31.580
such as "Science and sanity"

0:02:31.580,0:02:35.249
by Alfred Korzybski,

0:02:35.249,0:02:38.669
"Language in Thought and Action" by [Samuel Ichiye] Hayakawa,

0:02:38.669,0:02:40.389
"The Tyranny of Words"

0:02:40.389,0:02:42.169
by Stuart Chase.

0:02:42.169,0:02:45.219
You don't even know this, but the words you use

0:02:45.219,0:02:48.479
have no communication value.

0:02:48.479,0:02:50.609
Take junior grade school for example.

0:02:50.609,0:02:54.199
When a teacher says to a child "That's wrong"

0:02:54.199,0:02:56.920
that doesn't tell the child anything. Think about that.

0:02:56.920,0:02:59.629
"That's wrong". What does that tell you?

0:02:59.629,0:03:00.809
Nothing in particular.

0:03:00.809,0:03:05.919
And the teacher says "That's not what I told you". That doesn't tell the child anything.

0:03:05.919,0:03:08.919
So the most of our language is empty.

0:03:08.919,0:03:12.599
And there's another bullshit word. And that's "love".

0:03:12.599,0:03:16.019
Don't get mad at me. Hear me out.

0:03:16.019,0:03:20.010
Now, most of us don't like everything we've done in life.

0:03:20.010,0:03:21.519
I'm sure we don't.

0:03:21.519,0:03:24.769
We've made mistakes. We've made false judgements.

0:03:24.769,0:03:26.969
So, sometimes you like yourself.

0:03:26.969,0:03:30.360
Sometimes a little bit. Sometimes not at all.

0:03:30.360,0:03:32.979
So, love is a fluctuating thing.

0:03:32.979,0:03:35.639
Even if you marry somebody and love them,

0:03:35.639,0:03:38.199
you'll find sometimes you love them very much,

0:03:38.199,0:03:39.220
sometimes little less,

0:03:39.220,0:03:43.039
sometimes "How did I ever get in this situation?"

0:03:43.039,0:03:46.849
So, love is a fluctuating thing, not a fixed thing.

0:03:46.849,0:03:50.549
That's why we don't understand what's happening.

0:03:50.549,0:03:54.259
Sometimes a guy is conditioned by society

0:03:54.259,0:03:57.869
to like a girl of a particular configuration.

0:03:57.869,0:04:02.929
But he marries a girl of a different configuration. And he is always looking

0:04:02.929,0:04:05.139
at different configurations.

0:04:05.139,0:04:07.710
And you think "What the hell is the matter with this guy?"

0:04:07.710,0:04:10.949
Nothing is the matter with him. He was brought up that way.

0:04:10.949,0:04:13.769
There are not good or bad people.

0:04:13.769,0:04:19.759
There are no creative people or lazy people. All that is bullshit put out

0:04:19.759,0:04:20.880
by your country.

0:04:20.880,0:04:23.150
Now I gonna tell you a little bit about it.

0:04:23.150,0:04:26.870
If you were raised by the headhunters of the Amazon.

0:04:26.870,0:04:28.800
You'd be a headhunter.

0:04:28.800,0:04:33.270
And If I've said to you "Doesn't it bother you to have five shrunken heads?"

0:04:33.270,0:04:37.960
He'll say "Yes, my brother have twenty."

0:04:37.960,0:04:41.899
So... Is he nuts? No. That's normal to his culture.

0:04:41.899,0:04:46.129
If you were brought up in ancient Rome, assuming you were Christian.

0:04:46.129,0:04:49.520
The Romes believed in many different gods.

0:04:49.520,0:04:53.800
And you come up with one god, you must be nuts.

0:04:53.800,0:04:57.500
So they put you in an arena with a lot of hungry lions.

0:04:57.500,0:05:01.590
And they starve the lions for week to put on the good show.

0:05:01.590,0:05:04.479
Then they take the clothes off the Christians.

0:05:04.479,0:05:06.860
So the lions can tear on them easy.

0:05:06.860,0:05:09.800
The whole family would come Saturday and Sunday

0:05:09.800,0:05:11.490
to see Christians fed to lions.

0:05:11.490,0:05:13.089
.

0:05:13.089,0:05:18.159
And the kids would say "Daddy, can I come next week to see Christians fed to lions."

0:05:18.159,0:05:21.940
Dad says - "If you behave yourself."

0:05:21.940,0:05:25.979
Now... Are this people nuts? No. That's normal to that culture.

0:05:25.979,0:05:28.680
Just as we go to prize fights

0:05:28.680,0:05:31.909
and watch men punch the heads of other men.

0:05:31.909,0:05:35.779
All the things we do are stupid and far beyond civilization.

0:05:35.779,0:05:38.680
We are not civilized yet.

0:05:38.680,0:05:40.380
That's why you have prisons,

0:05:40.380,0:05:42.679
police, war

0:05:42.679,0:05:46.400
and all the problems you have. Unnecessary human suffering.

0:05:46.400,0:05:49.749
Because people don't understand yet.

0:05:49.749,0:05:55.369
There are schools to not educate people. They teach you to become a cog in a wheel

0:05:55.369,0:05:57.050
as Roxanne pointed out.

0:05:57.050,0:05:59.099
They teach them to become a carpenter,

0:05:59.099,0:06:01.759
an engineer, an architect.

0:06:01.759,0:06:04.110
All these are false fields.

0:06:04.110,0:06:05.750
They have to teach you

0:06:05.750,0:06:07.770
how to become a generalist.

0:06:07.770,0:06:10.500
How to understand the history of civilization

0:06:10.500,0:06:13.479
which is lacking in all our universities.

0:06:13.479,0:06:15.560
They will be shut down in the future

0:06:15.560,0:06:18.629
and people will be brought up to become generalists.

0:06:18.629,0:06:23.400
So they understand human behavior, they understand what makes a person,

0:06:23.400,0:06:25.530
what gives a person drive.

0:06:25.530,0:06:29.719
So all of us are brought up to believe there are different kinds of people,

0:06:29.719,0:06:31.179
which is a lie.

0:06:31.179,0:06:34.929
That the Japanese mind can't grasp technology.

0:06:34.929,0:06:39.889
That the Chinese can't understand certain things. And always get a dumb Polak

0:06:39.889,0:06:41.669
to clean out your cellar.

0:06:41.669,0:06:45.139
And a damn Italians are waps. They brought

0:06:45.139,0:06:46.929
the mafia to this country.

0:06:46.929,0:06:49.919
And all that hatred comes from

0:06:49.919,0:06:54.699
cheap labor. As rule when the first Irish came to this country.

0:06:54.699,0:06:57.979
They worked for the one half the amount Americans worked for.

0:06:57.979,0:06:58.930
"So let's get rid

0:06:58.930,0:07:00.669
of those damn Irishmen.

0:07:00.669,0:07:05.869
They are no good." They took their jobs away. That's why we've got mad at them.

0:07:05.869,0:07:07.690
And during the depression

0:07:07.690,0:07:10.610
if a factory put up a sign "Help wanted"

0:07:10.610,0:07:14.479
everybody lined up to get a job, hundreds of people.

0:07:14.479,0:07:17.639
And normal Americans - normal means fucked up -

0:07:17.639,0:07:19.199
normal Americans

0:07:19.199,0:07:24.800
would say "Let's get the god damn waps out of the line". "Let's get the god damn Filipinos out of the line".

0:07:24.800,0:07:27.339
Because they threaten our jobs.

0:07:27.339,0:07:31.780
That's why they do that. Racial hatred is tolerated

0:07:31.780,0:07:34.759
and brought about. But I want to tell you this -

0:07:34.759,0:07:38.980
If a normal American baby or Greek baby, or French baby

0:07:38.980,0:07:41.489
were brought up in Nazi Germany.

0:07:41.489,0:07:47.449
And all they see is "Heil Hilter! Deutschland über alles!" (Germany above all)

0:07:47.449,0:07:48.979
They become Nazis.

0:07:48.979,0:07:53.479
If you brought up in America - you become "Yes, sir. I'm an American and I proud of it."

0:07:53.479,0:07:55.650
Most Americans don't know

0:07:55.650,0:07:58.219
that George Washington, the first president,

0:07:58.219,0:08:01.360
had three hundred slaves.

0:08:01.360,0:08:03.139
Today he'd be arrested

0:08:03.139,0:08:04.789
as a nut.

0:08:04.789,0:08:07.389
And the most of the people... Harry Truman,

0:08:07.389,0:08:09.370
president Truman

0:08:09.370,0:08:11.329
was a hat salesman,

0:08:11.329,0:08:13.199
real jackass

0:08:13.199,0:08:15.869
in presidential position.

0:08:15.869,0:08:20.360
Now, who are these people in government? What is a politician?

0:08:20.360,0:08:23.830
I don't want you to take my word. I want you to walk over

0:08:23.830,0:08:26.509
to any politician you know

0:08:26.509,0:08:28.539
Or do not know. And ask them

0:08:28.539,0:08:34.540
"How can you grow food faster without exhausting the soil? and feed the hungry?"

0:08:34.540,0:08:36.010
"- I don't know."

0:08:36.010,0:08:39.150
"How can you make automobiles that don't hit in each other?"

0:08:39.150,0:08:40.350
"- I don't know."

0:08:40.350,0:08:43.409
"How can you make highways safer?" - "I don't know."

0:08:43.409,0:08:47.650
They don't know anything. Don't take my word for it. Ask them.

0:08:47.650,0:08:49.970
They really don't know a damn thing.

0:08:49.970,0:08:53.160
And I mean politicians all over the world.

0:08:53.160,0:08:54.450
All countries,

0:08:54.450,0:08:57.100
all are basically corrupt.

0:08:57.100,0:08:59.240
If you don't understand what I'm saying

0:08:59.240,0:09:02.360
Where do you think America got America from?

0:09:02.360,0:09:07.070
You think the Indians - "Come on over and enjoy yourself, take all the land you want."

0:09:07.070,0:09:10.220
No, we kill thousands of Indians.

0:09:10.220,0:09:12.990
We starved 50 million buffalo

0:09:12.990,0:09:15.090
to make it tough for the Indians.

0:09:15.090,0:09:18.790
And the Indians have fought back.

0:09:18.790,0:09:21.160
They really tried to take

0:09:21.160,0:09:25.020
some land back.

0:09:25.020,0:09:29.019
But the government decided that they want to get rid of those aggressive Indians.

0:09:29.019,0:09:30.020
That wouldn't

0:09:30.020,0:09:32.520
conform to what we wanted.

0:09:32.520,0:09:36.270
So they offered 10 bucks for every Indian you killed.

0:09:36.270,0:09:39.560
And the guy walked over and said - "I just killed 10 Indians."

0:09:39.560,0:09:42.100
The government says - "How do we know that?

0:09:42.100,0:09:44.190
Bring back a piece of the Indian."

0:09:44.190,0:09:46.030
So they started scalping.

0:09:46.030,0:09:48.350
Americans, not the Indians.

0:09:48.350,0:09:51.480
And we brought back 10 scalps to collect 10 bucks

0:09:51.480,0:09:53.640
for every Indian you killed.

0:09:53.640,0:09:57.970
Americans are no good, French are good, The Greeks are no good.

0:09:57.970,0:10:00.020
All nations are corrupt.

0:10:00.020,0:10:02.750
They say "The sun never sets on England."

0:10:02.750,0:10:05.520
Where do you think England got all that land from?

0:10:05.520,0:10:06.510
They took it

0:10:06.510,0:10:09.370
by killing thousands of people.

0:10:09.370,0:10:12.109
So, If you don't like the guy next door.

0:10:12.109,0:10:13.390
If you shoot him

0:10:13.390,0:10:14.889
and missed by one inch,

0:10:14.889,0:10:16.300
you're not a murderer.

0:10:16.300,0:10:18.910
But if your aim is a little better, you're a murderer.

0:10:18.910,0:10:20.440
If you hit the guy.

0:10:20.440,0:10:22.750
So, today they have guns,

0:10:22.750,0:10:25.000
machine guns with the laser beams,

0:10:25.000,0:10:27.910
When it's on you and you pull the trigger, bullets come out.

0:10:27.910,0:10:30.380
If it's a little off, no bullets come out.

0:10:30.380,0:10:31.989
The guns are getting smarter.

0:10:31.989,0:10:35.040
Soldiers are getting dumber.

0:10:35.040,0:10:37.590
And they are killing machines.

0:10:37.590,0:10:39.380
We would train soldiers

0:10:39.380,0:10:42.180
to be problem solvers, send them back to school.

0:10:42.180,0:10:43.790
How do you bridge

0:10:43.790,0:10:47.019
the difference between nations. How do you improve agriculture.

0:10:47.019,0:10:52.929
How do we fight hurricanes, heart disease. This is the real problem. Not killing. When you

0:10:52.929,0:10:57.900
kill people and bomb cities... Consider the abortionist.

0:10:57.900,0:11:02.570
Some people say "Jeez, it's terrible. They commit abortion, they take a life."

0:11:02.570,0:11:05.820
If these people were consistently educated,

0:11:05.820,0:11:08.580
when you have war you kill pregnant women,

0:11:08.580,0:11:14.000
children, everybody. Why don't they fight against war? Why just abortionist?

0:11:14.000,0:11:18.180
There is something dreadfully wrong with all our schools.

0:11:18.180,0:11:21.290
They have better equipment than ever (the universities).

0:11:21.290,0:11:22.290
The best.

0:11:22.290,0:11:24.420
And the war is getting worse.

0:11:24.420,0:11:27.130
The atom bombs considered nothing today

0:11:27.130,0:11:29.350
compared to the cobalt bomb.

0:11:29.350,0:11:31.810
They would kill many more people.

0:11:31.810,0:11:36.770
Each submarine (I'm talking about America, it's the only country I have information on)

0:11:36.770,0:11:39.400
has 300 hundred submarines.

0:11:39.400,0:11:41.220
According to the navy

0:11:41.220,0:11:42.240
each one

0:11:42.240,0:11:44.190
has more destructive power

0:11:44.190,0:11:47.690
than all the wars in history.

0:11:47.690,0:11:50.550
What can you accomplish with that?

0:11:50.550,0:11:53.830
Then they tell you other things.

0:11:53.830,0:11:57.720
They tell you things like be good, be kind.

0:11:57.720,0:12:01.180
How can you be kind or good? Suppose I have a factory

0:12:01.180,0:12:02.780
and I turn out things

0:12:02.780,0:12:05.490
ten times faster than your factory.

0:12:05.490,0:12:07.030
Same product.

0:12:07.030,0:12:10.820
If I share that with you, I'll lose the competitive edge.

0:12:10.820,0:12:12.410
If I have patents,

0:12:12.410,0:12:17.790
I deprive people all over the world from making things that make life better.

0:12:17.790,0:12:19.770
So how can you be decent?

0:12:19.770,0:12:22.960
So you go to church on Sunday and what do you do there?

0:12:22.960,0:12:25.010
You look at the clothes of other people.

0:12:25.010,0:12:26.870
Everybody dressed

0:12:26.870,0:12:28.650
to outpace the other person.

0:12:28.650,0:12:34.020
And so when they go to church, what do they do mostly - bother god.

0:12:34.020,0:12:38.800
"We need a new car. My wife needs a car. I'd like a home in the country.

0:12:38.800,0:12:41.120
And I like this, I like that."

0:12:41.120,0:12:43.589
And they say that god knows everything.

0:12:43.589,0:12:46.320
That's what they teach you in church.

0:12:46.320,0:12:50.140
God knows everything. He made every planet, every galaxy.

0:12:50.140,0:12:53.480
So when I went to church, I insulted

0:12:53.480,0:12:56.790
the minister by saying: "If god knows everything,

0:12:56.790,0:12:59.180
why did Jesus insult God?"

0:12:59.180,0:13:02.050
He said - "I don't remember Jesus insulting God".

0:13:02.050,0:13:04.180
Well, they crucified Jesus.

0:13:04.180,0:13:06.160
Just before they crucified him,

0:13:06.160,0:13:11.250
he looked up and said "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."

0:13:11.250,0:13:14.520
And God said "Jeez, I didn't know that. Thanks."

0:13:14.520,0:13:18.850
You know, if he knows everything what is Jesus talking to him about?

0:13:18.850,0:13:21.990
What are you talking to him about? (if he knows everything)

0:13:21.990,0:13:26.080
"Aunt Manny is sick and she is suffering. Please ease the pain."

0:13:26.080,0:13:29.459
"Well, I didn't know about that Aunt Manny. O.k."

0:13:29.459,0:13:30.850
So, you see,

0:13:30.850,0:13:36.130
man makes God in his own image - Some jerk that get angry and says

0:13:36.130,0:13:37.560
"Noah, build yourself an ark.

0:13:37.560,0:13:38.530
I'm gonna

0:13:38.530,0:13:42.190
flood the whole area. I don't like the products I turned out."

0:13:42.190,0:13:43.669
He want to kill everybody.

0:13:43.669,0:13:44.950
So, Noah

0:13:44.950,0:13:46.700
is to build an ark.

0:13:46.700,0:13:49.199
If he took two kinds of every animal,

0:13:49.199,0:13:52.110
the ark would be about a mile long.

0:13:52.110,0:13:56.320
Who cleans the shit out of that boat?

0:13:56.320,0:13:58.639
The story is so ridiculous,

0:13:58.639,0:14:00.650
it not even sensible.

0:14:00.650,0:14:05.010
So when I... I read the bible instead of the comic strips.

0:14:05.010,0:14:07.259
Because there is nothing in it that makes sense.

0:14:07.259,0:14:08.920
God sits on the throne.

0:14:08.920,0:14:12.820
He makes a men and a women, puts them in a beautiful garden.

0:14:12.820,0:14:14.500
And then he has a snake,

0:14:14.500,0:14:15.859
that walks upright.

0:14:15.859,0:14:18.010
According to the bible, not me.

0:14:18.010,0:14:20.790
And the snake says "Eat of the fruit of knowledge"

0:14:20.790,0:14:22.790
And Eve did that.

0:14:22.790,0:14:26.120
And he kicked them both out and slammed at the gates shut.

0:14:26.120,0:14:28.960
All loving, all kind God.

0:14:28.960,0:14:31.610
The contradictions are so thick in the bible.

0:14:31.610,0:14:35.200
It's amazing that everybody doesn't see it.

0:14:35.200,0:14:39.740
Now, in the bible (if you're religious) it says "Thou shalt not kill".

0:14:39.740,0:14:43.190
It doesn't say "You can kill Wednesdays and Thursdays".

0:14:43.190,0:14:45.860
It says "Thou shalt not kill".

0:14:45.860,0:14:47.080
Than it says

0:14:47.080,0:14:51.720
"Love thy enemy". Meaning if a man strikes you, turn the other cheek.

0:14:51.720,0:14:54.550
And what happens in times of war?

0:14:54.550,0:14:56.930
What's the matter with these Christians?

0:14:56.930,0:14:58.540
Larry Kind once said

0:14:58.540,0:15:01.080
"What do you think of Christianity, Fresco?"

0:15:01.080,0:15:13.300
"This is a great idea, when are they putting it into practice?"

0:15:13.300,0:15:15.190
Frankly, I've never met a Christian.

0:15:15.190,0:15:17.140
That forgives

0:15:17.140,0:15:17.850
people.

0:15:17.850,0:15:19.550
That loves the enemy.

0:15:19.550,0:15:21.470
That turns the other cheek.

0:15:21.470,0:15:23.610
That has no locks on the door,

0:15:23.610,0:15:27.190
When a hungry person knocks, they bring them in and say

0:15:27.190,0:15:30.610
"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."

0:15:30.610,0:15:32.850
I never met a Christian.

0:15:32.850,0:15:37.120
Never found one everywhere I've traveled.

0:15:37.120,0:15:38.400
So, the point is,

0:15:38.400,0:15:40.930
all of us need security.

0:15:40.930,0:15:44.580
All people, all over the world need clean air,

0:15:44.580,0:15:45.700
clean water,

0:15:45.700,0:15:46.909
arable land

0:15:46.909,0:15:49.270
and a relevant education.

0:15:49.270,0:15:51.180
What is relevant education means?

0:15:51.180,0:15:53.310
to study agriculture,

0:15:53.310,0:15:56.010
nature, how we relate to nature,

0:15:56.010,0:15:58.040
how we relate to one another.

0:15:58.040,0:15:59.729
To give us the tools

0:15:59.729,0:16:03.650
to live in accordance with what we want.

0:16:03.650,0:16:06.050
Not what they want you to be.

0:16:06.050,0:16:10.450
They want you to be patriotic. That meant they want to control you.

0:16:10.450,0:16:11.800
Patriotism

0:16:11.800,0:16:14.880
(Einstein said) is a disease.

0:16:14.880,0:16:17.110
But he couldn't say that publicly.

0:16:17.110,0:16:19.039
When he came to this country,

0:16:19.039,0:16:21.930
he was a socialist (to America).

0:16:21.930,0:16:25.040
And they said "Don't talk socialism. They will ship your ass

0:16:25.040,0:16:26.620
back to Germany."

0:16:26.620,0:16:28.560
So he wouldn't talk about it.

0:16:28.560,0:16:31.990
Einstein... I once asked him whether he felt that

0:16:31.990,0:16:35.420
uh... social designed with the

0:16:35.420,0:16:38.230
social design would be prevalent for all people, useful.

0:16:38.230,0:16:41.750
He said, he was a socialist. He really didn't know the anatomy

0:16:41.750,0:16:43.440
of social design.

0:16:43.440,0:16:46.330
He said "You are interested in mathematics?"

0:16:46.330,0:16:48.350
I said "Yes, as a tool".

0:16:48.350,0:16:52.000
But he didn't really know the process of social design.

0:16:52.000,0:16:55.020
I asked communists "How will you prevent

0:16:55.020,0:16:57.040
corruption in the future?"

0:16:57.040,0:17:01.100
They said "Well, when that time comes," (This is at the Great Depression)

0:17:01.100,0:17:03.200
"That time comes, we'll work on it."

0:17:03.200,0:17:06.790
I asked them "How will house millions of people?"

0:17:06.790,0:17:09.949
"Well, ah, when that time comes, we'll work on that."

0:17:09.949,0:17:12.860
I said "Let's start a technical branch

0:17:12.860,0:17:15.629
of the communist party or the socialist party

0:17:15.629,0:17:17.190
or any party

0:17:17.190,0:17:18.370
to make live

0:17:18.370,0:17:22.390
secure for all people. So no one can become corrupt."

0:17:22.390,0:17:26.760
They said "You are deviating from the teachings of Marx. You'll have to leave."

0:17:26.760,0:17:30.070
I wasn't trying to deviate or disrupt communists.

0:17:30.070,0:17:33.450
I was trying to give them methods of solving problems.

0:17:33.450,0:17:36.960
So I joined (at that time, during the Depression),

0:17:36.960,0:17:39.340
I joined Technocracy.

0:17:39.340,0:17:42.970
Because they talked about using science in government.

0:17:42.970,0:17:46.240
But there were no black in the organisation.

0:17:46.240,0:17:48.430
And I said "How come there's no blacks?"

0:17:48.430,0:17:51.550
They said "Well, let them start their own section."

0:17:51.550,0:17:53.860
I said "What about orientals?"

0:17:53.860,0:17:57.860
They said "The oriental mind can't grasp technology."

0:17:57.860,0:17:59.789
Of course, as you know today,

0:17:59.789,0:18:03.280
they lead the world in robotics.

0:18:03.280,0:18:06.850
So, all our thoughts about different kinds of people are lies.

0:18:06.850,0:18:08.300
They are not real.

0:18:08.300,0:18:12.550
We have to understand that all people tend to love their kids.

0:18:12.550,0:18:15.830
All people want their kids to be better educated.

0:18:15.830,0:18:18.670
All people want to know about nutrition.

0:18:18.670,0:18:22.140
So, let's say the drug companies were really sincere.

0:18:22.140,0:18:24.550
And they found out that celery juice

0:18:24.550,0:18:26.240
lowers blood pressure.

0:18:26.240,0:18:29.770
You can't make any money selling celery juice, 'cause...

0:18:29.770,0:18:32.530
But you can get two bucks for every pill you sell.

0:18:32.530,0:18:35.120
So, there was a book written many years ago.

0:18:35.120,0:18:38.330
I also like to know how many people ever heard of it.

0:18:38.330,0:18:39.350
"A Hundred

0:18:39.350,0:18:41.410
Million Guinea Pigs."

0:18:41.410,0:18:43.410
How many of you have heard of that book?

0:18:43.410,0:18:47.049
It should have been in every library. It's not.

0:18:47.049,0:18:50.030
What did "A Hundred Million Guinea Pigs" talk about?

0:18:50.030,0:18:54.020
The lies put out by the drug companies.

0:18:54.020,0:18:57.700
And the people of America (it was a bestseller by the way in America,

0:18:57.700,0:18:59.140
years ago)

0:18:59.140,0:19:02.190
And they demanded that the government put in a Food and Drug

0:19:02.190,0:19:03.270
Administration

0:19:03.270,0:19:04.860
to check the claims

0:19:04.860,0:19:06.550
of the drug companies.

0:19:06.550,0:19:08.580
And they did. They got that in.

0:19:08.580,0:19:13.250
Now it's run by people of the drug companies.

0:19:13.250,0:19:15.650
Everything becomes corrupt.

0:19:15.650,0:19:17.590
Everything we touch.

0:19:17.590,0:19:19.950
So Oppenheimer

0:19:19.950,0:19:23.540
went to visit Harry Truman (president Harry Truman).

0:19:23.540,0:19:27.070
and said "Now that we have an atom bomb.

0:19:27.070,0:19:31.480
Why don't you demonstrate it about 30 miles out at sea?

0:19:31.480,0:19:33.780
So that Japanese can see it.

0:19:33.780,0:19:36.550
So you won't have to drop it over Japan.

0:19:36.550,0:19:38.330
Give them a change to surrender."

0:19:38.330,0:19:40.560
Harry Truman said "Get out of my office.

0:19:40.560,0:19:42.860
I never want to see you guys again."

0:19:42.860,0:19:46.740
And they dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima, Nagasaki.

0:19:46.740,0:19:48.580
Because he was a jackass.

0:19:48.580,0:19:51.450
Most presidents are very stupid people.

0:19:51.450,0:19:53.540
They know nothing about ecology,

0:19:53.540,0:19:55.480
evolution of the society.

0:19:55.480,0:20:01.279
(Well, I have ever...) No politician has ever increased the agricultural yield,

0:20:01.279,0:20:07.090
made automobiles safer, airplanes safer. What the hell they're doing there?

0:20:07.090,0:20:09.050
How did they get the job?

0:20:09.050,0:20:12.360
There is something dreadfully wrong with education.

0:20:12.360,0:20:14.320
The people in Washington...

0:20:14.320,0:20:19.029
I can only talk about them. I believe all countries are similar.

0:20:19.029,0:20:22.920
The people in Washington should know more about human behavior,

0:20:22.920,0:20:24.840
the latest technologies.

0:20:24.840,0:20:27.880
They tell you - "If you want freedom, write your congressman."

0:20:27.880,0:20:30.010
Why do you have to write them?

0:20:30.010,0:20:31.100
He should know

0:20:31.100,0:20:32.150
all those things.

0:20:32.150,0:20:35.500
When you fly on an airplane, you don't have to write the pilot.

0:20:35.500,0:20:39.850
Say, you've been flying at an angle for a half an hour. Straighten up.

0:20:39.850,0:20:41.620
They know their business.

0:20:41.620,0:20:47.150
The same for government. They should know everything about modern technology,

0:20:47.150,0:20:48.180
human behavior.

0:20:48.180,0:20:50.210
When you put a man in prison.

0:20:50.210,0:20:52.380
Say he stole a watch that costs

0:20:52.380,0:20:54.480
150 dollars.

0:20:54.480,0:20:57.340
And that's the fourth time he committed that crime.

0:20:57.340,0:20:59.070
So you put him in jail

0:20:59.070,0:21:00.420
for seven years.

0:21:00.420,0:21:03.180
That's a hell of a lot of watches you can give him.

0:21:03.180,0:21:04.840
Figure the costs of that.

0:21:04.840,0:21:07.240
Feeding him, medical care for seven years.

0:21:07.240,0:21:09.920
Let him have the watch.

0:21:09.920,0:21:12.899
It's much cheaper to give people the thing they need

0:21:12.899,0:21:14.590
than to kill them.

0:21:14.590,0:21:18.410
It's much cheaper. Think of man in jail for life.

0:21:18.410,0:21:20.320
Do you know how much that costs?

0:21:20.320,0:21:24.040
They worried about the fact that he tried to rob the jewelry store

0:21:24.040,0:21:27.390
of may be three or four hundred dollars.

0:21:27.390,0:21:29.970
It's always cheaper to feed people.

0:21:29.970,0:21:32.610
And when they go to jail, I can assure you,

0:21:32.610,0:21:34.779
they don't come out any better.

0:21:34.779,0:21:38.230
They call them correctional institute. They don't even know

0:21:38.230,0:21:39.780
how to correct people.

0:21:39.780,0:21:42.750
They are not people trained in that area.

0:21:42.750,0:21:45.940
Then you have a bunch of people they call psychologist.

0:21:45.940,0:21:48.150
I hope there is none here today.

0:21:48.150,0:21:49.610
And psychiatrist

0:21:49.610,0:21:51.280
that adjust you to this

0:21:51.280,0:21:53.170
fucked up culture.

0:21:53.170,0:21:55.379
How can you adjust people to this culture

0:21:55.379,0:21:56.930
if you're sane?

0:21:56.930,0:21:58.630
Do you understand what I mean?

0:21:58.630,0:22:00.530
So even psychologist

0:22:00.530,0:22:01.630
and psychiatrist

0:22:01.630,0:22:03.009
are part of the culture.

0:22:03.009,0:22:04.880
So is religion.

0:22:04.880,0:22:08.420
"Jesus needs money". Jesus doesn't need anything.

0:22:08.420,0:22:10.400
God doesn't need anything.

0:22:10.400,0:22:14.700
They also try to tell you that God so loved with the world,

0:22:14.700,0:22:17.380
that he gave his only begotten son.

0:22:17.380,0:22:19.720
According to the bible, it says

0:22:19.720,0:22:21.360
they crucified Christ,

0:22:21.360,0:22:22.419
he arose

0:22:22.419,0:22:24.040
and ascended into heaven.

0:22:24.040,0:22:26.980
Where is the sacrifice?

0:22:26.980,0:22:29.280
Think about it.

0:22:29.280,0:22:32.680
So, we don't think about what we've read. We just read

0:22:32.680,0:22:34.760
and we just yack.

0:22:34.760,0:22:37.869
And so, when we asked to vote for somebody, we vote for somebody

0:22:37.869,0:22:44.260
that fits the patters we've been brought up to accept.

0:22:44.260,0:22:46.960
Now during the question period please

0:22:46.960,0:22:48.450
don't be polite.

0:22:48.450,0:22:52.270
If I say anything you don't understand, say "I don't get it."

0:22:52.270,0:22:56.409
And If I fail to answer your question, say "You didn't answer my question."

0:22:56.409,0:22:57.809
Don't be polite.

0:22:57.809,0:22:59.710
So at the question period

0:22:59.710,0:23:02.630
we will examine some of the idea

0:23:02.630,0:23:06.380
and I want you to ask all kinds of naughty questions.

0:23:06.380,0:23:08.460
Don't accept the thing I say.

0:23:08.460,0:23:10.330
I don't want you to follow me.

0:23:10.330,0:23:13.770
I want you to listen to what I say. If it makes sense, do it.

0:23:13.770,0:23:17.300
If you like The Venus Project, when you leave here,

0:23:17.300,0:23:19.930
if you don't talk to other people about it,

0:23:19.930,0:23:22.030
nothing will happen.

0:23:22.030,0:23:25.880
So, if you like what we stand for, look, it's not perfect.

0:23:25.880,0:23:28.830
It's just a lot better than the society you live in.

0:23:28.830,0:23:31.149
And it will continue to get better.

0:23:31.149,0:23:34.240
There are no final frontiers. People think

0:23:34.240,0:23:38.900
I am a Utopian, I believe that you can make the best of all possible worlds.

0:23:38.900,0:23:40.340
I don't.

0:23:40.340,0:23:43.130
Even If I design a city that works,

0:23:43.130,0:23:46.970
that city will be a straitjacket to the kids of the future.

0:23:46.970,0:23:49.020
They will design their own cities.

0:23:49.020,0:23:51.830
If you make a statue of me and put it in the city

0:23:51.830,0:23:54.890
that holds people back.

0:23:54.890,0:24:00.640
In order to move forward you have to look at things, examine it, improve it, move on.

0:24:00.640,0:24:03.170
History is very poor.

0:24:03.170,0:24:05.040
You don't learn much from it.

0:24:05.040,0:24:06.700
If you study history

0:24:06.700,0:24:08.670
exclusively,

0:24:08.670,0:24:10.790
you won't come up with new ideas.

0:24:10.790,0:24:17.030
We want to move on. There is no such thing as utopia. Every city I design

0:24:17.030,0:24:20.180
would be the best I know up to now.

0:24:20.180,0:24:23.630
And as time goes on you learn more and the city changes.

0:24:23.630,0:24:25.630
Nothing can be frozen

0:24:25.630,0:24:27.340
and kept that way.

0:24:27.340,0:24:29.330
Everything keeps changing.

0:24:29.330,0:24:31.370
There are no final frontiers.

0:24:31.370,0:24:34.550
That's what the matter with heaven. It's fixed.

0:24:34.550,0:24:39.630
Everything is the same way. Consider this - if you went to heaven and you look down

0:24:39.630,0:24:41.730
to starving kid in Africa,

0:24:41.730,0:24:45.650
war on Earth. Would heaven be a peaceful place for you?

0:24:45.650,0:24:47.690
Absolutely not.

0:24:47.690,0:24:50.999
There were bands of angels that turned against God.

0:24:50.999,0:24:52.559
So he kicked them all out.

0:24:52.559,0:24:54.539
They call them fallen angels.

0:24:54.539,0:24:58.820
If he don't have a peace up there, how the hell you're going to have it down here?

0:24:58.820,0:25:01.580
You have to read your bible. You have to be ruthlessly

0:25:01.580,0:25:08.060
honest.

0:25:08.060,0:25:10.799
If you not honest, it won't work.

0:25:10.799,0:25:12.230
It says in the bible

0:25:12.230,0:25:13.509
"Judge not,

0:25:13.509,0:25:15.250
lest ye be judged."

0:25:15.250,0:25:17.970
That means "don't judge anybody." You don't know enough

0:25:17.970,0:25:19.809
about what made him that way.

0:25:19.809,0:25:21.610
That also says in the bible

0:25:21.610,0:25:23.350
"Therefore

0:25:23.350,0:25:30.080
but by the grace of God, go I". That's anybody you see in a wheelchair, blind. All of us,

0:25:30.080,0:25:32.320
that can happen to all of us.

0:25:32.320,0:25:34.390
They don't know what to do about it.

0:25:34.390,0:25:37.839
In 1927 I came up with a little idea,

0:25:37.839,0:25:39.850
which I got from bats.

0:25:39.850,0:25:43.649
Bats can fly at night and not hit anything.

0:25:43.649,0:25:45.870
How do they do it? By sound.

0:25:45.870,0:25:49.590
So I made a little gadget that would fit over the person's ear

0:25:49.590,0:25:51.130
and generate sound waves.

0:25:51.130,0:25:54.430
So you can hear an open door even though you're blind.

0:25:54.430,0:25:57.940
You can hear an object in front of you by sound feedback.

0:25:57.940,0:25:59.100
So we can build

0:25:59.100,0:26:03.289
things in all cities so that blind don't need[br]that white stick

0:26:03.289,0:26:05.480
or a dog or anything like that.

0:26:05.480,0:26:06.399
In a mean time

0:26:06.399,0:26:09.660
we'll work on artificial systems of vision.

0:26:09.660,0:26:13.370
I think that human being can solve any problem.

0:26:13.370,0:26:17.620
If you don't understand me (I am not upholding Germany this time.

0:26:17.620,0:26:19.590
Some people think I do.)

0:26:19.590,0:26:23.590
We formed the blockade to prevent the Germans from getting rubber.

0:26:23.590,0:26:25.930
But they had enough technicians

0:26:25.930,0:26:29.800
So they synthetic rubber, all the rubber from their airplanes

0:26:29.800,0:26:30.250
and everything

0:26:30.250,0:26:32.840
out of their own chemistry.

0:26:32.840,0:26:34.440
So... with technicians

0:26:34.440,0:26:36.960
not in charge.

0:26:36.960,0:26:41.260
Understand - I don't want to see science in charge of government...

0:26:41.260,0:26:43.029
or technicians.

0:26:43.029,0:26:44.880
What I want to see

0:26:44.880,0:26:48.250
is their assignment to problems such as

0:26:48.250,0:26:50.320
agriculture.

0:26:50.320,0:26:53.590
When you can grow food twice as fast on the soil,

0:26:53.590,0:26:55.450
you exhaust the soil.

0:26:55.450,0:27:00.200
So we want to know how to grow food faster without exhausting the soil.

0:27:00.200,0:27:04.350
The United States Army dumped 65 tons

0:27:04.350,0:27:05.729
of nerve gas

0:27:05.729,0:27:08.650
into the ocean off the coast of Miami

0:27:08.650,0:27:10.100
near the Golf Stream.

0:27:10.100,0:27:11.700
How can you love the country

0:27:11.700,0:27:13.119
if the army did that?

0:27:13.119,0:27:14.760
They don't know what they are doing.

0:27:14.760,0:27:18.049
"We want you to dump nerve gas." - "Yes, sir."

0:27:18.049,0:27:20.450
We don't want obedient people anymore.

0:27:20.450,0:27:22.820
We want you to understand what's happening.

0:27:22.820,0:27:26.429
We don't want to vote for a senator - some other jackass.

0:27:26.429,0:27:29.040
They are incompetent. All of them.

0:27:29.040,0:27:30.790
I want you to understand

0:27:30.790,0:27:33.350
everything that you have today

0:27:33.350,0:27:36.720
is your electric lights, your airplanes, your automobiles.

0:27:36.720,0:27:38.810
You have nothing to do with them.

0:27:38.810,0:27:43.549
You got them just being born in a country that has that technology.

0:27:43.549,0:27:45.150
You got it for nothing.

0:27:45.150,0:27:48.029
I don't think any of you here worked on the electric light

0:27:48.029,0:27:49.139
or radio,

0:27:49.139,0:27:51.720
or television, very few people.

0:27:51.720,0:27:55.740
You've got all them for nothing. Does it hurt you? Of course not.

0:27:55.740,0:27:59.130
They say - "Well, you don't want to give people things for nothing. Do you?"

0:27:59.130,0:28:02.010
This kid said that to me at Princeton University.

0:28:02.010,0:28:04.649
"Fresco, you want to give people things for nothing."

0:28:04.649,0:28:07.320
So I said - "Are you paying your way through college?"

0:28:07.320,0:28:12.139
He said - "No, my dad is." - I said - "Does that hurt you?"

0:28:12.139,0:28:14.730
This kid said to me he still doesn't believe

0:28:14.730,0:28:17.600
anybody ought to get things for nothing.

0:28:17.600,0:28:21.659
So I said to him "Well. As I understand your father is wealthy. If he dies,

0:28:21.659,0:28:25.000
you want that his money[br]to go to the heart fund

0:28:25.000,0:28:30.090
and the cancer fund, but not to you 'cause you don't believe anybody ought to get anything

0:28:30.090,0:28:30.930
for nothing."

0:28:30.930,0:28:34.120
He said "Just a minute now!"

0:28:34.120,0:28:37.930
Everybody wants things for nothing. You've got the earth for nothing. You were born

0:28:37.930,0:28:38.580
here.

0:28:38.580,0:28:41.970
Beautiful scenery, clouds. You didn't make those things.

0:28:41.970,0:28:43.880
Does it hurt you? Of course not.

0:28:43.880,0:28:46.190
But if you're born in a polluted world

0:28:46.190,0:28:49.520
with smog in the air and automobile pollution,

0:28:49.520,0:28:52.600
you say - "I guess that's the way it is". It isn't that way!

0:28:52.600,0:28:54.910
It's because the people in charge in government

0:28:54.910,0:28:57.830
are totally incompetent.

0:28:57.830,0:29:00.710
So what you really want is a world free

0:29:00.710,0:29:05.250
of burden, pain, prisons, police, crime.

0:29:05.250,0:29:06.880
Can we do that?

0:29:06.880,0:29:09.640
The church has been trying to do that for year.

0:29:09.640,0:29:10.919
They don't know how.

0:29:10.919,0:29:12.920
They have no idea how to do it.

0:29:12.920,0:29:16.600
They say "Be kind. Be good". How do you do that?

0:29:16.600,0:29:19.630
So I wanted my children

0:29:19.630,0:29:20.930
(two of them)

0:29:20.930,0:29:22.110
to learn

0:29:22.110,0:29:23.750
how to read.

0:29:23.750,0:29:25.980
So I never taught them how to read.

0:29:25.980,0:29:27.880
I would open a book at night

0:29:27.880,0:29:30.110
and I read to them in bed.

0:29:30.110,0:29:33.049
I read to them about things kids are interested in.

0:29:33.049,0:29:34.810
This happened to be my son.

0:29:34.810,0:29:39.260
He was about four years old. I was reading about dinosaurs.

0:29:39.260,0:29:43.050
And I said - "When the two dinosaurs met... Aeeh [yawn]"

0:29:43.050,0:29:45.299
I said - "That's all for tonight." I close it.

0:29:45.299,0:29:48.240
He - "What happened when the dinosaurs met?"

0:29:48.240,0:29:52.490
I said - "Look, If you learn to read you can figure it out for yourself."

0:29:52.490,0:29:57.210
So I gave him a reason to want to read. Don't just teach them to read.

0:29:57.210,0:29:59.499
Teach them a reason for want to learn

0:29:59.499,0:30:01.529
mathematics.

0:30:01.529,0:30:05.700
Teachers teach you how to read. "The Dickie Dare and his sheep.

0:30:05.700,0:30:11.430
On the way he met a cow. "Moo moo", said the cow". What is that crap?

0:30:11.430,0:30:14.720
And then they have it in America (I don't know how much you have it here)

0:30:14.720,0:30:16.550
The Mickey Mouse Club.

0:30:16.550,0:30:18.389
Now, what the hell happens

0:30:18.389,0:30:21.870
if you condition kids to join The Mickey Mouse Club.

0:30:21.870,0:30:24.760
You make a bunch of Pinheads.

0:30:24.760,0:30:28.570
Do you understand? Kids want to know everything. How the airplanes fly.

0:30:28.570,0:30:30.840
"Daddy, what make the light go on."

0:30:30.840,0:30:32.440
He - "I don't know that."

0:30:32.440,0:30:37.240
Daddy usually doesn't know anything. And congressmen know less.

0:30:37.240,0:30:40.400
So, I'm saying - Everything that you have is technical.

0:30:40.400,0:30:41.929
Think about it.

0:30:41.929,0:30:45.679
If we took away technology. If you shut down boulder dam.

0:30:45.679,0:30:46.470
Tomorrow

0:30:46.470,0:30:48.849
all the food in all the refrigerator

0:30:48.849,0:30:51.789
from LA to San Francisco

0:30:51.789,0:30:54.100
would fail.

0:30:54.100,0:30:55.970
All the food would rot away.

0:30:55.970,0:30:58.380
Everything that you have is technology.

0:30:58.380,0:31:04.600
If you shut down the power projects, men would have to pull cars and boats.

0:31:04.600,0:31:08.409
They did it on the Volga River. They had to pull freighters.

0:31:08.409,0:31:11.400
Men (slaves) were whipped to do that.

0:31:11.400,0:31:13.240
Slavery

0:31:13.240,0:31:15.560
was normal in the old days.

0:31:15.560,0:31:19.870
And kings felt that they were put here to rule over people.

0:31:19.870,0:31:22.690
People in my position like to think

0:31:22.690,0:31:26.940
that they are here to try to make the world a better place. Divine wisdom

0:31:26.940,0:31:30.320
guides them.

0:31:30.320,0:31:33.280
Look... Divine wisdom doesn't guide anybody.

0:31:33.280,0:31:37.090
When Christians were fed to lions, they prayed like hell.

0:31:37.090,0:31:39.930
The Jews in concentration camp prayed

0:31:39.930,0:31:41.350
and they were burned.

0:31:41.350,0:31:43.630
In Salem, Massachusetts,

0:31:43.630,0:31:47.710
if a woman spoke up and she didn't quite agree with everything,

0:31:47.710,0:31:50.529
she was burned alive as a witch.

0:31:50.529,0:31:52.450
Now, here is what you didn't know.

0:31:52.450,0:31:55.500
I'm talking about United States.

0:31:55.500,0:31:59.080
Women, hundreds of them were burned alive.

0:31:59.080,0:32:00.900
Because they thought about things...

0:32:00.900,0:32:02.630
just a little different.

0:32:02.630,0:32:07.150
But, then what you didn't know is for every witch you found you inherited

0:32:07.150,0:32:09.580
their bank account and their land.

0:32:09.580,0:32:13.159
So, it's a good job looking for witches in the old days.

0:32:13.159,0:32:17.270
The more you can find, the more money you got... and free.

0:32:17.270,0:32:19.090
So, here you have a world

0:32:19.090,0:32:21.410
that is sicker than shit.

0:32:21.410,0:32:25.420
And what I say I mean it, I mean that the world you live in

0:32:25.420,0:32:27.589
is consisted of the stupid people

0:32:27.589,0:32:29.690
including the military.

0:32:29.690,0:32:31.799
The Pentagon and Washington think

0:32:31.799,0:32:34.190
that they are there to defend the country.

0:32:34.190,0:32:39.250
Whatever a man can think of, some other buddy can think of a way around that.

0:32:39.250,0:32:41.089
You can't secure yourself.

0:32:41.089,0:32:45.269
You think that you go to an airport, you put your luggage down,[br]they x-ray it

0:32:45.269,0:32:46.650
and you're alright.

0:32:46.650,0:32:48.910
I can design clothing

0:32:48.910,0:32:51.470
that gives off nerve gas.

0:32:51.470,0:32:54.769
There are other ways around anything. I personally could think.

0:32:54.769,0:32:56.880
I wouldn't do that of course.

0:32:56.880,0:32:58.770
I wouldn't work on weapons.

0:32:58.770,0:33:02.020
When I was drafted in the army the first thing they've said

0:33:02.020,0:33:06.140
"Can you make a bomb, Fresco, that goes sideways instead of up?"

0:33:06.140,0:33:08.820
I've said - "I have no idea how to do that."

0:33:08.820,0:33:12.280
It says - "cast ye your pearls before swine"

0:33:12.280,0:33:14.399
People are not educated yet.

0:33:14.399,0:33:15.789
They should not have

0:33:15.789,0:33:17.930
weapons of mass destruction.

0:33:17.930,0:33:19.630
They don't know how to use it.

0:33:19.630,0:33:24.440
They should have technology that enhances all humans’ life.

0:33:24.440,0:33:27.200
This is what religion tries to do.

0:33:27.200,0:33:32.110
I would say that The Venus Project is the nearest thing to the brotherhood

0:33:32.110,0:33:34.590
of humanity.

0:33:34.590,0:33:38.210
So I want to try to tell you a little more about people.

0:33:38.210,0:33:41.220
If you were raised in the Nazi Germany as a baby.

0:33:41.220,0:33:43.080
If you never saw anything else

0:33:43.080,0:33:44.750
as the "Heil Hitler".

0:33:44.750,0:33:46.310
If you're raised in France

0:33:46.310,0:33:47.930
"La Tour Eiffel".

0:33:47.930,0:33:49.950
Your facial expression, everything.

0:33:49.950,0:33:52.190
If you're raised in the South of America,

0:33:52.190,0:33:54.429
you speak with a southern accent.

0:33:54.429,0:33:57.810
If I say "Stop speaking with it". You can't.

0:33:57.810,0:34:01.580
And you say ??"Well, I'm gon' get me a nigga and I'm gon' kick his ass"??

0:34:01.580,0:34:03.639
Is that you speaking?

0:34:03.639,0:34:05.850
Or is that picked from your environment?

0:34:05.850,0:34:07.800
If you take a normal boy

0:34:07.800,0:34:09.809
and bring him up with six

0:34:09.809,0:34:12.539
or ten very effeminate women.

0:34:12.539,0:34:14.469
Women speak differently than men.

0:34:14.469,0:34:16.299
They move their hands a lot.

0:34:16.299,0:34:20.349
And facial expression is different. More like I'm moving now.

0:34:20.349,0:34:22.760
So, If you were just brought up with...

0:34:22.760,0:34:25.559
A boy would move just like a woman.

0:34:25.559,0:34:29.769
If you brought up in Italy, you say "Come on, eat! Thes a gooda food."

0:34:29.769,0:34:32.569
See, because even that is reflection.

0:34:32.569,0:34:36.859
If you brought up in Germany again it's "Deutschland über alles."

0:34:36.859,0:34:39.299
If you brought up in

0:34:39.299,0:34:41.079
any other country,

0:34:41.079,0:34:43.780
you might say you know where the person was brought up

0:34:43.780,0:34:45.849
from by the way they speak.

0:34:45.849,0:34:47.349
"How are you, Mike?"

0:34:47.349,0:34:49.639
You know now that guy comes from Australia.

0:34:49.639,0:34:51.449
"How are you, Mike?"

0:34:51.449,0:34:55.040
Well, you'd speak that way, your facial expressions would be that way.

0:34:55.040,0:34:57.619
And you use words like individuality.

0:34:57.619,0:34:59.229
There's no such thing.

0:34:59.229,0:35:01.770
Everybody reflects their culture.

0:35:01.770,0:35:03.630
If you lived in France ten years,

0:35:03.630,0:35:08.490
you moved to Germany, lived there 10 years, you'll speak with the German-French accent.

0:35:08.490,0:35:10.019
Not a thing you can do about it.

0:35:10.019,0:35:12.069
So we reflect our culture.

0:35:12.069,0:35:13.339
All of us.

0:35:13.339,0:35:16.689
So when they say "Think for yourself". You can't.

0:35:16.689,0:35:19.219
'Cause you think as an American or a Frenchman,

0:35:19.219,0:35:22.969
or a German, or a Greek,

0:35:22.969,0:35:24.189
or an Italian.

0:35:24.189,0:35:27.959
So.. really.. when Germans speak, they speak (when they come to this country)

0:35:27.959,0:35:32.450
They speak and say "Well, I give you some idea what happened."

0:35:32.450,0:35:33.969
That's the way they speak.

0:35:33.969,0:35:37.739
They pick it up. It's a cross between German and English.

0:35:37.739,0:35:40.630
I worked for a guy named Ernst Udet,

0:35:40.630,0:35:42.189
who was an ace

0:35:42.189,0:35:46.619
of World War I. He shot down 71 planes.

0:35:46.619,0:35:48.390
Since I worked for him,

0:35:48.390,0:35:51.659
I said "How did you shoot down 71 airplanes?"

0:35:51.659,0:35:55.809
May be if you shot down 5 or 6, that's possible.

0:35:55.809,0:35:57.979
But how can you shoot down 71

0:35:57.979,0:35:59.449
airplaines?

0:35:59.449,0:36:03.549
He said [German accent] "It's very easy, Fresco." (That's the way he spoke)

0:36:03.549,0:36:06.549
He said "I would fly above the squadrons

0:36:06.549,0:36:08.969
'und' I looked for a rookie,

0:36:08.969,0:36:13.169
a bad pilot, that didn´t know how, and I pick them off"

0:36:13.169,0:36:15.549
So, is he a good man?

0:36:15.549,0:36:18.269
Is he kind? Is he humane?

0:36:18.269,0:36:20.199
Same with Eddie Rickenbacker.

0:36:20.199,0:36:22.400
They always fly above the squadron

0:36:22.400,0:36:25.799
and look for guys who can't fly too well and picked them off.

0:36:25.799,0:36:27.749
That gives you a lot of medals,

0:36:27.749,0:36:30.419
a lot of X's on your fuselage.

0:36:30.419,0:36:32.879
So when you're brought up,

0:36:32.879,0:36:36.710
you're brought up [where] lot of people go to church and say "Thou shall not kill"

0:36:36.710,0:36:40.109
So it's hard to get people to enlist in the army.

0:36:40.109,0:36:44.729
So they give Japanese or Chinese Americans false teeth.

0:36:44.729,0:36:46.189
And they make a movie

0:36:46.189,0:36:49.059
by Frank Capra called "Why we fight?"

0:36:49.059,0:36:50.779
And it shows these

0:36:50.779,0:36:52.210
Japanese kids

0:36:52.210,0:36:54.069
raping a woman.

0:36:54.069,0:36:56.719
And the enlistment goes up 71 percent.

0:36:56.719,0:36:58.719
You have to teach hatred

0:36:58.719,0:37:00.239
to have war

0:37:00.239,0:37:02.489
to be a working system.

0:37:02.489,0:37:05.239
An army man unfortunately

0:37:05.239,0:37:09.289
10 year after the war - that's the most exciting thing in their life.

0:37:09.289,0:37:12.589
And they always go back and join The American Legion.

0:37:12.589,0:37:14.940
And they talk about the days they shot these

0:37:14.940,0:37:17.369
god damn slanty eyed bastards.

0:37:17.369,0:37:19.430
And the Germans were called Krauts,

0:37:19.430,0:37:20.739
not human beings.

0:37:20.739,0:37:22.959
So, we shot them too.

0:37:22.959,0:37:25.509
So, soldiers are killing machines.

0:37:25.509,0:37:27.850
And if you want a world without war,

0:37:27.850,0:37:30.809
people have to be educated to understand,

0:37:30.809,0:37:34.330
that all people need the same thing - good food,

0:37:34.330,0:37:37.029
healthy livings and relevant education.

0:37:37.029,0:37:38.619
Not killing.

0:37:38.619,0:37:42.219
Because war only produces hatred over the years.

0:37:42.219,0:37:45.479
They remember that you killed their kids, their parents.

0:37:45.479,0:37:47.359
And they want to get even with you.

0:37:47.359,0:37:51.489
And some people say to me (I'm just imitating them)

0:37:51.489,0:37:56.109
"Why are these god damn north Koreans building rockets? And why are these

0:37:56.109,0:37:58.789
Chinese building big armies?

0:37:58.789,0:38:00.529
They are threat to us."

0:38:00.529,0:38:03.609
But, again I don't want you to take my word for this.

0:38:03.609,0:38:07.909
There's a newspaper in England called "The Telegraph".

0:38:07.909,0:38:09.710
"The London Telegraph".

0:38:09.710,0:38:13.069
And in this newspaper they ran a headline

0:38:13.069,0:38:15.249
(about seven years ago)

0:38:15.249,0:38:18.770
"The US intends to bomb seven countries".

0:38:18.770,0:38:20.229
Nuclear bomb,

0:38:20.229,0:38:21.420
sneak attack

0:38:21.420,0:38:22.990
on seven countries.

0:38:22.990,0:38:25.569
It names North Korea, China.

0:38:25.569,0:38:27.890
All the countries we don't like.

0:38:27.890,0:38:29.359
Headlined

0:38:29.359,0:38:31.539
in the "Telegraph". You haven't seen that.

0:38:31.539,0:38:34.119
So, write for it, don't take my word for it.

0:38:34.119,0:38:39.819
When you do that, if China said "We intend to bomb England, France, United States

0:38:39.819,0:38:40.680
and other countries",

0:38:40.680,0:38:42.450
we were armed to the tooth.

0:38:42.450,0:38:44.950
That's why they are all building nuclear weapons.

0:38:44.950,0:38:46.460
They are afraid of us,

0:38:46.460,0:38:48.309
afraid of America.

0:38:48.309,0:38:52.440
I didn't know they ran that, so you say "Why are these god damn Chinese doing that?"

0:38:52.440,0:38:55.099
"Why are these god damn Koreans doing that?"

0:38:55.099,0:38:57.029
They are doing it 'cause they are scared

0:38:57.029,0:38:58.330
of the United States.

0:38:58.330,0:39:00.419
And United States,

0:39:00.419,0:39:04.749
are their intentions good? They may be, but they are stupid people. Even if they

0:39:04.749,0:39:06.379
intended to do that,

0:39:06.379,0:39:08.209
they should not have released it.

0:39:08.209,0:39:10.739
It was released by the Pentagon.

0:39:10.739,0:39:13.219
According to the "Telegraph."

0:39:13.219,0:39:14.649
So, there is your reason.

0:39:14.649,0:39:17.499
People behave as they've been conditioned,

0:39:17.499,0:39:23.329
as they manage news and turn you off from things they think you ought not to hear.

0:39:23.329,0:39:28.529
Like the theory of evolution was held back for a long time.

0:39:28.529,0:39:31.669
And in all the parks in America (or most of them)

0:39:31.669,0:39:34.469
There are canons, war tanks, airplanes.

0:39:34.469,0:39:36.440
There should be statues of people

0:39:36.440,0:39:38.089
that increase food

0:39:38.089,0:39:41.559
that did wonderful changes in medicine. "Wash your hands."

0:39:41.559,0:39:43.249
"Retain cleanliness."

0:39:43.249,0:39:44.950
They used to cut cadavers

0:39:44.950,0:39:47.849
and then they go right on and do child birth

0:39:47.849,0:39:49.129
with surgery.

0:39:49.129,0:39:52.349
And the women would die of childbirth fever.

0:39:52.349,0:39:56.979
That was because they did cutting with cadavers, never washed their hands.

0:39:56.979,0:40:02.509
And the doctor that told them to wash their hands was kicked out of the university.

0:40:02.509,0:40:05.059
Because he told them to wash their hands.

0:40:05.059,0:40:06.489
"How the hell are you

0:40:06.489,0:40:08.139
to tell us what to do?"

0:40:08.139,0:40:12.249
So, everything new was fought - women's rights,

0:40:12.249,0:40:15.019
child labor. There used to be children in factories.

0:40:15.019,0:40:17.469
Of course it's a little before your time.

0:40:17.469,0:40:20.959
But people marched to get the children out of the factories.

0:40:20.959,0:40:22.939
And they had rotten eggs throws at them.

0:40:22.939,0:40:25.119
When you fought for women's rights,

0:40:25.119,0:40:27.819
the same thing, there were rotten eggs thrown at you.

"What do you mean 'women'? Women only good for two things, you know." So, they had

0:40:31.979,0:40:33.620
notions about women.

0:40:33.620,0:40:37.589
"You know, women can't learn to be architects and engineers.

0:40:37.589,0:40:39.650
Women are just good to produce babies

0:40:39.650,0:40:41.729
and cook for the old man."

0:40:41.729,0:40:44.589
Well, all this crap is disappearing.

0:40:44.589,0:40:47.339
But every inch of the way of progress

0:40:47.339,0:40:49.449
was fought. Just remember that.

0:40:49.449,0:40:51.489
Nothing comes easy.

0:40:51.489,0:40:55.099
People are now producing articles about The Venus Project,

0:40:55.099,0:40:57.149
because we're better known now.

0:40:57.149,0:41:00.219
They say - "Fresco get his money from the Vatican

0:41:00.219,0:41:01.959
or the Rothschild family,

0:41:01.959,0:41:04.030
or this banking institute."

0:41:04.030,0:41:09.789
I don't have any money. "Fresco has two Mercedes." I don't even have a car.

0:41:09.789,0:41:14.999
So, anyway they will spread whatever rumors they have to keep in power.

0:41:14.999,0:41:16.749
And that's what you're up against.

0:41:16.749,0:41:18.899
Whatever you do anything new

0:41:18.899,0:41:22.419
or different. Instead of, people are saying "You know, that's interesting thing.

0:41:22.419,0:41:24.409
Let me think about it.", you know.

0:41:24.409,0:41:25.759
They get mad at you,

0:41:25.759,0:41:28.789
because you're upsetting the apple-cart.

0:41:28.789,0:41:30.509
And that's what it's about.

0:41:30.509,0:41:33.579
We have a tough job ahead. All of us.

0:41:33.579,0:41:35.340
If you wish to live in a world

0:41:35.340,0:41:41.130
without war, poverty, unemployment, hunger, human suffering, you have to

0:41:41.130,0:41:42.629
talk to other people.

0:41:42.629,0:41:43.900
If you do nothing,

0:41:43.900,0:41:48.219
I can assure you, nothing will happen.

0:41:48.219,0:41:51.849
So I think I can open this portion to questions.

0:41:51.849,0:41:54.699
So Roxanne and I will take questions

0:41:54.699,0:41:56.239
from any one of you.

0:41:56.239,9:59:59.000
Thank you again.
