WEBVTT 00:00:14.109 --> 00:00:15.629 I want to thank all of you 00:00:15.629 --> 00:00:17.609 for coming 00:00:17.609 --> 00:00:22.619 and doing the work you're doing to inform other people. 00:00:22.619 --> 00:00:26.839 I'm gonna say a lot of things that may bother some of you. 00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:28.409 But please be patient. 00:00:28.409 --> 00:00:30.399 I'm not your enemy. 00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:32.380 I'm gonna tell you things that... 00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:36.230 about you society you may or may not know. 00:00:36.230 --> 00:00:37.940 I want to say first 00:00:37.940 --> 00:00:40.310 that the language we speak 00:00:40.310 --> 00:00:43.200 was designed hundreds of years ago. 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.599 And it's almost impossible 00:00:45.599 --> 00:00:47.090 to talk to one another. 00:00:47.090 --> 00:00:49.810 Although we think we talk to one another, 00:00:49.810 --> 00:00:52.100 we really repeat in language 00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:54.240 that's highly insufficient. 00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.260 Whatever you say to other people, it goes in their heads 00:00:58.260 --> 00:01:01.520 and comes out to fit their society. 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.340 You don't always communicate with people. 00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:06.240 So the problem is - 00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:08.330 can we develop a language 00:01:08.330 --> 00:01:09.650 that has 00:01:09.650 --> 00:01:12.090 consistent meaning? 00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:14.360 Well, if you still don't understand me - 00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:17.800 sometimes I might say "Have a nice weekend." 00:01:17.800 --> 00:01:20.290 Why don't we say "Have a nice life"? 00:01:20.290 --> 00:01:23.040 Why just a weekend? 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.670 Our language, again, is old. 00:01:25.670 --> 00:01:28.190 Is it possible to devise a language 00:01:28.190 --> 00:01:31.100 that's not subject to interpretation? 00:01:31.100 --> 00:01:32.829 When you read the bible, 00:01:32.829 --> 00:01:34.190 (if you do) 00:01:34.190 --> 00:01:37.450 it says "Jesus meant this" (somebody says that). 00:01:37.450 --> 00:01:39.470 "Oh, no. He meant that." 00:01:39.470 --> 00:01:43.180 The third people says "You're both wrong. This is what he really meant." 00:01:43.180 --> 00:01:44.729 So you have the Lutheran, 00:01:44.729 --> 00:01:47.659 the seven days Adventist, the Catholic, 00:01:47.659 --> 00:01:49.080 because it's subject 00:01:49.080 --> 00:01:51.190 to interpretation. 00:01:51.190 --> 00:01:54.420 The language of chemistry, mathematics, 00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:55.429 science, 00:01:55.429 --> 00:01:56.509 engineering 00:01:56.509 --> 00:01:58.840 is not subject to interpretation. 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.330 When a chemist writes a formula, 00:02:01.330 --> 00:02:05.689 no matter what country it goes to, they interpret it the same way. 00:02:05.689 --> 00:02:08.199 I'm trying to tell you, it's possible 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:09.770 to develop a language 00:02:09.770 --> 00:02:12.319 that's not subject to interpretation. 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.769 So, we really talk at each other, 00:02:14.769 --> 00:02:16.709 rather than to one another. 00:02:16.709 --> 00:02:20.549 That's a major problem, that's why lawyers exist. 00:02:20.549 --> 00:02:22.099 They can take language, 00:02:22.099 --> 00:02:24.000 mold it, reshape it. 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.939 But you can't do that. 00:02:25.939 --> 00:02:29.169 Those of you who do want to know how to communicate, 00:02:29.169 --> 00:02:30.260 there are books 00:02:30.260 --> 00:02:31.580 such as "Science and sanity" 00:02:31.580 --> 00:02:35.249 by Alfred Korzybski, 00:02:35.249 --> 00:02:38.669 "Language in Thought and Action" by [Samuel Ichiye] Hayakawa, 00:02:38.669 --> 00:02:40.389 "The Tyranny of Words" 00:02:40.389 --> 00:02:42.169 by Stuart Chase. 00:02:42.169 --> 00:02:45.219 You don't even know this, but the words you use 00:02:45.219 --> 00:02:48.479 have no communication value. 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.609 Take junior grade school for example. 00:02:50.609 --> 00:02:54.199 When a teacher says to a child "That's wrong" 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.920 that doesn't tell the child anything. Think about that. 00:02:56.920 --> 00:02:59.629 "That's wrong". What does that tell you? 00:02:59.629 --> 00:03:00.809 Nothing in particular. 00:03:00.809 --> 00:03:05.919 And the teacher says "That's not what I told you". That doesn't tell the child anything. 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.919 So the most of our language is empty. 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.599 And there's another bullshit word. And that's "love". 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:16.019 Don't get mad at me. Hear me out. 00:03:16.019 --> 00:03:20.010 Now, most of us don't like everything we've done in life. 00:03:20.010 --> 00:03:21.519 I'm sure we don't. 00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:24.769 We've made mistakes. We've made false judgements. 00:03:24.769 --> 00:03:26.969 So, sometimes you like yourself. 00:03:26.969 --> 00:03:30.360 Sometimes a little bit. Sometimes not at all. 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.979 So, love is a fluctuating thing. 00:03:32.979 --> 00:03:35.639 Even if you marry somebody and love them, 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.199 you'll find sometimes you love them very much, 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:39.220 sometimes little less, 00:03:39.220 --> 00:03:43.039 sometimes "How did I ever get in this situation?" 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.849 So, love is a fluctuating thing, not a fixed thing. 00:03:46.849 --> 00:03:50.549 That's why we don't understand what's happening. 00:03:50.549 --> 00:03:54.259 Sometimes a guy is conditioned by society 00:03:54.259 --> 00:03:57.869 to like a girl of a particular configuration. 00:03:57.869 --> 00:04:02.929 But he marries a girl of a different configuration. And he is always looking 00:04:02.929 --> 00:04:05.139 at different configurations. 00:04:05.139 --> 00:04:07.710 And you think "What the hell is the matter with this guy?" 00:04:07.710 --> 00:04:10.949 Nothing is the matter with him. He was brought up that way. 00:04:10.949 --> 00:04:13.769 There are not good or bad people. 00:04:13.769 --> 00:04:19.759 There are no creative people or lazy people. All that is bullshit put out 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:20.880 by your country. 00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:23.150 Now I gonna tell you a little bit about it. 00:04:23.150 --> 00:04:26.870 If you were raised by the headhunters of the Amazon. 00:04:26.870 --> 00:04:28.800 You'd be a headhunter. 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:33.270 And If I've said to you "Doesn't it bother you to have five shrunken heads?" 00:04:33.270 --> 00:04:37.960 He'll say "Yes, my brother have twenty." 00:04:37.960 --> 00:04:41.899 So... Is he nuts? No. That's normal to his culture. 00:04:41.899 --> 00:04:46.129 If you were brought up in ancient Rome, assuming you were Christian. 00:04:46.129 --> 00:04:49.520 The Romes believed in many different gods. 00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:53.800 And you come up with one god, you must be nuts. 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.500 So they put you in an arena with a lot of hungry lions. 00:04:57.500 --> 00:05:01.590 And they starve the lions for week to put on the good show. 00:05:01.590 --> 00:05:04.479 Then they take the clothes off the Christians. 00:05:04.479 --> 00:05:06.860 So the lions can tear on them easy. 00:05:06.860 --> 00:05:09.800 The whole family would come Saturday and Sunday 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:11.490 to see Christians fed to lions. 00:05:11.490 --> 00:05:13.089 . 00:05:13.089 --> 00:05:18.159 And the kids would say "Daddy, can I come next week to see Christians fed to lions." 00:05:18.159 --> 00:05:21.940 Dad says - "If you behave yourself." 00:05:21.940 --> 00:05:25.979 Now... Are this people nuts? No. That's normal to that culture. 00:05:25.979 --> 00:05:28.680 Just as we go to prize fights 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.909 and watch men punch the heads of other men. 00:05:31.909 --> 00:05:35.779 All the things we do are stupid and far beyond civilization. 00:05:35.779 --> 00:05:38.680 We are not civilized yet. 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.380 That's why you have prisons, 00:05:40.380 --> 00:05:42.679 police, war 00:05:42.679 --> 00:05:46.400 and all the problems you have. Unnecessary human suffering. 00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:49.749 Because people don't understand yet. 00:05:49.749 --> 00:05:55.369 There are schools to not educate people. They teach you to become a cog in a wheel 00:05:55.369 --> 00:05:57.050 as Roxanne pointed out. 00:05:57.050 --> 00:05:59.099 They teach them to become a carpenter, 00:05:59.099 --> 00:06:01.759 an engineer, an architect. 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.110 All these are false fields. 00:06:04.110 --> 00:06:05.750 They have to teach you 00:06:05.750 --> 00:06:07.770 how to become a generalist. 00:06:07.770 --> 00:06:10.500 How to understand the history of civilization 00:06:10.500 --> 00:06:13.479 which is lacking in all our universities. 00:06:13.479 --> 00:06:15.560 They will be shut down in the future 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.629 and people will be brought up to become generalists. 00:06:18.629 --> 00:06:23.400 So they understand human behavior, they understand what makes a person, 00:06:23.400 --> 00:06:25.530 what gives a person drive. 00:06:25.530 --> 00:06:29.719 So all of us are brought up to believe there are different kinds of people, 00:06:29.719 --> 00:06:31.179 which is a lie. 00:06:31.179 --> 00:06:34.929 That the Japanese mind can't grasp technology. 00:06:34.929 --> 00:06:39.889 That the Chinese can't understand certain things. And always get a dumb Polak 00:06:39.889 --> 00:06:41.669 to clean out your cellar. 00:06:41.669 --> 00:06:45.139 And a damn Italians are waps. They brought 00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:46.929 the mafia to this country. 00:06:46.929 --> 00:06:49.919 And all that hatred comes from 00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:54.699 cheap labor. As rule when the first Irish came to this country. 00:06:54.699 --> 00:06:57.979 They worked for the one half the amount Americans worked for. 00:06:57.979 --> 00:06:58.930 "So let's get rid 00:06:58.930 --> 00:07:00.669 of those damn Irishmen. 00:07:00.669 --> 00:07:05.869 They are no good." They took their jobs away. That's why we've got mad at them. 00:07:05.869 --> 00:07:07.690 And during the depression 00:07:07.690 --> 00:07:10.610 if a factory put up a sign "Help wanted" 00:07:10.610 --> 00:07:14.479 everybody lined up to get a job, hundreds of people. 00:07:14.479 --> 00:07:17.639 And normal Americans - normal means fucked up - 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:19.199 normal Americans 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.800 would say "Let's get the god damn waps out of the line". "Let's get the god damn Filipinos out of the line". 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.339 Because they threaten our jobs. 00:07:27.339 --> 00:07:31.780 That's why they do that. Racial hatred is tolerated 00:07:31.780 --> 00:07:34.759 and brought about. But I want to tell you this - 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:38.980 If a normal American baby or Greek baby, or French baby 00:07:38.980 --> 00:07:41.489 were brought up in Nazi Germany. 00:07:41.489 --> 00:07:47.449 And all they see is "Heil Hilter! Deutschland über alles!" (Germany above all) 00:07:47.449 --> 00:07:48.979 They become Nazis. 00:07:48.979 --> 00:07:53.479 If you brought up in America - you become "Yes, sir. I'm an American and I proud of it." 00:07:53.479 --> 00:07:55.650 Most Americans don't know 00:07:55.650 --> 00:07:58.219 that George Washington, the first president, 00:07:58.219 --> 00:08:01.360 had three hundred slaves. 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.139 Today he'd be arrested 00:08:03.139 --> 00:08:04.789 as a nut. 00:08:04.789 --> 00:08:07.389 And the most of the people... Harry Truman, 00:08:07.389 --> 00:08:09.370 president Truman 00:08:09.370 --> 00:08:11.329 was a hat salesman, 00:08:11.329 --> 00:08:13.199 real jackass 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.869 in presidential position. 00:08:15.869 --> 00:08:20.360 Now, who are these people in government? What is a politician? 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.830 I don't want you to take my word. I want you to walk over 00:08:23.830 --> 00:08:26.509 to any politician you know 00:08:26.509 --> 00:08:28.539 Or do not know. And ask them 00:08:28.539 --> 00:08:34.540 "How can you grow food faster without exhausting the soil? and feed the hungry?" 00:08:34.540 --> 00:08:36.010 "- I don't know." 00:08:36.010 --> 00:08:39.150 "How can you make automobiles that don't hit in each other?" 00:08:39.150 --> 00:08:40.350 "- I don't know." 00:08:40.350 --> 00:08:43.409 "How can you make highways safer?" - "I don't know." 00:08:43.409 --> 00:08:47.650 They don't know anything. Don't take my word for it. Ask them. 00:08:47.650 --> 00:08:49.970 They really don't know a damn thing. 00:08:49.970 --> 00:08:53.160 And I mean politicians all over the world. 00:08:53.160 --> 00:08:54.450 All countries, 00:08:54.450 --> 00:08:57.100 all are basically corrupt. 00:08:57.100 --> 00:08:59.240 If you don't understand what I'm saying 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.360 Where do you think America got America from? 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:07.070 You think the Indians - "Come on over and enjoy yourself, take all the land you want." 00:09:07.070 --> 00:09:10.220 No, we kill thousands of Indians. 00:09:10.220 --> 00:09:12.990 We starved 50 million buffalo 00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:15.090 to make it tough for the Indians. 00:09:15.090 --> 00:09:18.790 And the Indians have fought back. 00:09:18.790 --> 00:09:21.160 They really tried to take 00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:25.020 some land back. 00:09:25.020 --> 00:09:29.019 But the government decided that they want to get rid of those aggressive Indians. 00:09:29.019 --> 00:09:30.020 That wouldn't 00:09:30.020 --> 00:09:32.520 conform to what we wanted. 00:09:32.520 --> 00:09:36.270 So they offered 10 bucks for every Indian you killed. 00:09:36.270 --> 00:09:39.560 And the guy walked over and said - "I just killed 10 Indians." 00:09:39.560 --> 00:09:42.100 The government says - "How do we know that? 00:09:42.100 --> 00:09:44.190 Bring back a piece of the Indian." 00:09:44.190 --> 00:09:46.030 So they started scalping. 00:09:46.030 --> 00:09:48.350 Americans, not the Indians. 00:09:48.350 --> 00:09:51.480 And we brought back 10 scalps to collect 10 bucks 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.640 for every Indian you killed. 00:09:53.640 --> 00:09:57.970 Americans are no good, French are good, The Greeks are no good. 00:09:57.970 --> 00:10:00.020 All nations are corrupt. 00:10:00.020 --> 00:10:02.750 They say "The sun never sets on England." 00:10:02.750 --> 00:10:05.520 Where do you think England got all that land from? 00:10:05.520 --> 00:10:06.510 They took it 00:10:06.510 --> 00:10:09.370 by killing thousands of people. 00:10:09.370 --> 00:10:12.109 So, If you don't like the guy next door. 00:10:12.109 --> 00:10:13.390 If you shoot him 00:10:13.390 --> 00:10:14.889 and missed by one inch, 00:10:14.889 --> 00:10:16.300 you're not a murderer. 00:10:16.300 --> 00:10:18.910 But if your aim is a little better, you're a murderer. 00:10:18.910 --> 00:10:20.440 If you hit the guy. 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.750 So, today they have guns, 00:10:22.750 --> 00:10:25.000 machine guns with the laser beams, 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.910 When it's on you and you pull the trigger, bullets come out. 00:10:27.910 --> 00:10:30.380 If it's a little off, no bullets come out. 00:10:30.380 --> 00:10:31.989 The guns are getting smarter. 00:10:31.989 --> 00:10:35.040 Soldiers are getting dumber. 00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:37.590 And they are killing machines. 00:10:37.590 --> 00:10:39.380 We would train soldiers 00:10:39.380 --> 00:10:42.180 to be problem solvers, send them back to school. 00:10:42.180 --> 00:10:43.790 How do you bridge 00:10:43.790 --> 00:10:47.019 the difference between nations. How do you improve agriculture. 00:10:47.019 --> 00:10:52.929 How do we fight hurricanes, heart disease. This is the real problem. Not killing. When you 00:10:52.929 --> 00:10:57.900 kill people and bomb cities... Consider the abortionist. 00:10:57.900 --> 00:11:02.570 Some people say "Jeez, it's terrible. They commit abortion, they take a life." 00:11:02.570 --> 00:11:05.820 If these people were consistently educated, 00:11:05.820 --> 00:11:08.580 when you have war you kill pregnant women, 00:11:08.580 --> 00:11:14.000 children, everybody. Why don't they fight against war? Why just abortionist? 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:18.180 There is something dreadfully wrong with all our schools. 00:11:18.180 --> 00:11:21.290 They have better equipment than ever (the universities). 00:11:21.290 --> 00:11:22.290 The best. 00:11:22.290 --> 00:11:24.420 And the war is getting worse. 00:11:24.420 --> 00:11:27.130 The atom bombs considered nothing today 00:11:27.130 --> 00:11:29.350 compared to the cobalt bomb. 00:11:29.350 --> 00:11:31.810 They would kill many more people. 00:11:31.810 --> 00:11:36.770 Each submarine (I'm talking about America, it's the only country I have information on) 00:11:36.770 --> 00:11:39.400 has 300 hundred submarines. 00:11:39.400 --> 00:11:41.220 According to the navy 00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:42.240 each one 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.190 has more destructive power 00:11:44.190 --> 00:11:47.690 than all the wars in history. 00:11:47.690 --> 00:11:50.550 What can you accomplish with that? 00:11:50.550 --> 00:11:53.830 Then they tell you other things. 00:11:53.830 --> 00:11:57.720 They tell you things like be good, be kind. 00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.180 How can you be kind or good? Suppose I have a factory 00:12:01.180 --> 00:12:02.780 and I turn out things 00:12:02.780 --> 00:12:05.490 ten times faster than your factory. 00:12:05.490 --> 00:12:07.030 Same product. 00:12:07.030 --> 00:12:10.820 If I share that with you, I'll lose the competitive edge. 00:12:10.820 --> 00:12:12.410 If I have patents, 00:12:12.410 --> 00:12:17.790 I deprive people all over the world from making things that make life better. 00:12:17.790 --> 00:12:19.770 So how can you be decent? 00:12:19.770 --> 00:12:22.960 So you go to church on Sunday and what do you do there? 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:25.010 You look at the clothes of other people. 00:12:25.010 --> 00:12:26.870 Everybody dressed 00:12:26.870 --> 00:12:28.650 to outpace the other person. 00:12:28.650 --> 00:12:34.020 And so when they go to church, what do they do mostly - bother god. 00:12:34.020 --> 00:12:38.800 "We need a new car. My wife needs a car. I'd like a home in the country. 00:12:38.800 --> 00:12:41.120 And I like this, I like that." 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.589 And they say that god knows everything. 00:12:43.589 --> 00:12:46.320 That's what they teach you in church. 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.140 God knows everything. He made every planet, every galaxy. 00:12:50.140 --> 00:12:53.480 So when I went to church, I insulted 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.790 the minister by saying: "If god knows everything, 00:12:56.790 --> 00:12:59.180 why did Jesus insult God?" 00:12:59.180 --> 00:13:02.050 He said - "I don't remember Jesus insulting God". 00:13:02.050 --> 00:13:04.180 Well, they crucified Jesus. 00:13:04.180 --> 00:13:06.160 Just before they crucified him, 00:13:06.160 --> 00:13:11.250 he looked up and said "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." 00:13:11.250 --> 00:13:14.520 And God said "Jeez, I didn't know that. Thanks." 00:13:14.520 --> 00:13:18.850 You know, if he knows everything what is Jesus talking to him about? 00:13:18.850 --> 00:13:21.990 What are you talking to him about? (if he knows everything) 00:13:21.990 --> 00:13:26.080 "Aunt Manny is sick and she is suffering. Please ease the pain." 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.459 "Well, I didn't know about that Aunt Manny. O.k." 00:13:29.459 --> 00:13:30.850 So, you see, 00:13:30.850 --> 00:13:36.130 man makes God in his own image - Some jerk that get angry and says 00:13:36.130 --> 00:13:37.560 "Noah, build yourself an ark. 00:13:37.560 --> 00:13:38.530 I'm gonna 00:13:38.530 --> 00:13:42.190 flood the whole area. I don't like the products I turned out." 00:13:42.190 --> 00:13:43.669 He want to kill everybody. 00:13:43.669 --> 00:13:44.950 So, Noah 00:13:44.950 --> 00:13:46.700 is to build an ark. 00:13:46.700 --> 00:13:49.199 If he took two kinds of every animal, 00:13:49.199 --> 00:13:52.110 the ark would be about a mile long. 00:13:52.110 --> 00:13:56.320 Who cleans the shit out of that boat? 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.639 The story is so ridiculous, 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:00.650 it not even sensible. 00:14:00.650 --> 00:14:05.010 So when I... I read the bible instead of the comic strips. 00:14:05.010 --> 00:14:07.259 Because there is nothing in it that makes sense. 00:14:07.259 --> 00:14:08.920 God sits on the throne. 00:14:08.920 --> 00:14:12.820 He makes a men and a women, puts them in a beautiful garden. 00:14:12.820 --> 00:14:14.500 And then he has a snake, 00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:15.859 that walks upright. 00:14:15.859 --> 00:14:18.010 According to the bible, not me. 00:14:18.010 --> 00:14:20.790 And the snake says "Eat of the fruit of knowledge" 00:14:20.790 --> 00:14:22.790 And Eve did that. 00:14:22.790 --> 00:14:26.120 And he kicked them both out and slammed at the gates shut. 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.960 All loving, all kind God. 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.610 The contradictions are so thick in the bible. 00:14:31.610 --> 00:14:35.200 It's amazing that everybody doesn't see it. 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.740 Now, in the bible (if you're religious) it says "Thou shalt not kill". 00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:43.190 It doesn't say "You can kill Wednesdays and Thursdays". 00:14:43.190 --> 00:14:45.860 It says "Thou shalt not kill". 00:14:45.860 --> 00:14:47.080 Than it says 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:51.720 "Love thy enemy". Meaning if a man strikes you, turn the other cheek. 00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:54.550 And what happens in times of war? 00:14:54.550 --> 00:14:56.930 What's the matter with these Christians? 00:14:56.930 --> 00:14:58.540 Larry Kind once said 00:14:58.540 --> 00:15:01.080 "What do you think of Christianity, Fresco?" 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:13.300 "This is a great idea, when are they putting it into practice?" 00:15:13.300 --> 00:15:15.190 Frankly, I've never met a Christian. 00:15:15.190 --> 00:15:17.140 That forgives 00:15:17.140 --> 00:15:17.850 people. 00:15:17.850 --> 00:15:19.550 That loves the enemy. 00:15:19.550 --> 00:15:21.470 That turns the other cheek. 00:15:21.470 --> 00:15:23.610 That has no locks on the door, 00:15:23.610 --> 00:15:27.190 When a hungry person knocks, they bring them in and say 00:15:27.190 --> 00:15:30.610 "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." 00:15:30.610 --> 00:15:32.850 I never met a Christian. 00:15:32.850 --> 00:15:37.120 Never found one everywhere I've traveled. 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:38.400 So, the point is, 00:15:38.400 --> 00:15:40.930 all of us need security. 00:15:40.930 --> 00:15:44.580 All people, all over the world need clean air, 00:15:44.580 --> 00:15:45.700 clean water, 00:15:45.700 --> 00:15:46.909 arable land 00:15:46.909 --> 00:15:49.270 and a relevant education. 00:15:49.270 --> 00:15:51.180 What is relevant education means? 00:15:51.180 --> 00:15:53.310 to study agriculture, 00:15:53.310 --> 00:15:56.010 nature, how we relate to nature, 00:15:56.010 --> 00:15:58.040 how we relate to one another. 00:15:58.040 --> 00:15:59.729 To give us the tools 00:15:59.729 --> 00:16:03.650 to live in accordance with what we want. 00:16:03.650 --> 00:16:06.050 Not what they want you to be. 00:16:06.050 --> 00:16:10.450 They want you to be patriotic. That meant they want to control you. 00:16:10.450 --> 00:16:11.800 Patriotism 00:16:11.800 --> 00:16:14.880 (Einstein said) is a disease. 00:16:14.880 --> 00:16:17.110 But he couldn't say that publicly. 00:16:17.110 --> 00:16:19.039 When he came to this country, 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:21.930 he was a socialist (to America). 00:16:21.930 --> 00:16:25.040 And they said "Don't talk socialism. They will ship your ass 00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:26.620 back to Germany." 00:16:26.620 --> 00:16:28.560 So he wouldn't talk about it. 00:16:28.560 --> 00:16:31.990 Einstein... I once asked him whether he felt that 00:16:31.990 --> 00:16:35.420 uh... social designed with the 00:16:35.420 --> 00:16:38.230 social design would be prevalent for all people, useful. 00:16:38.230 --> 00:16:41.750 He said, he was a socialist. He really didn't know the anatomy 00:16:41.750 --> 00:16:43.440 of social design. 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.330 He said "You are interested in mathematics?" 00:16:46.330 --> 00:16:48.350 I said "Yes, as a tool". 00:16:48.350 --> 00:16:52.000 But he didn't really know the process of social design. 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.020 I asked communists "How will you prevent 00:16:55.020 --> 00:16:57.040 corruption in the future?" 00:16:57.040 --> 00:17:01.100 They said "Well, when that time comes," (This is at the Great Depression) 00:17:01.100 --> 00:17:03.200 "That time comes, we'll work on it." 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.790 I asked them "How will house millions of people?" 00:17:06.790 --> 00:17:09.949 "Well, ah, when that time comes, we'll work on that." 00:17:09.949 --> 00:17:12.860 I said "Let's start a technical branch 00:17:12.860 --> 00:17:15.629 of the communist party or the socialist party 00:17:15.629 --> 00:17:17.190 or any party 00:17:17.190 --> 00:17:18.370 to make live 00:17:18.370 --> 00:17:22.390 secure for all people. So no one can become corrupt." 00:17:22.390 --> 00:17:26.760 They said "You are deviating from the teachings of Marx. You'll have to leave." 00:17:26.760 --> 00:17:30.070 I wasn't trying to deviate or disrupt communists. 00:17:30.070 --> 00:17:33.450 I was trying to give them methods of solving problems. 00:17:33.450 --> 00:17:36.960 So I joined (at that time, during the Depression), 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:39.340 I joined Technocracy. 00:17:39.340 --> 00:17:42.970 Because they talked about using science in government. 00:17:42.970 --> 00:17:46.240 But there were no black in the organisation. 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:48.430 And I said "How come there's no blacks?" 00:17:48.430 --> 00:17:51.550 They said "Well, let them start their own section." 00:17:51.550 --> 00:17:53.860 I said "What about orientals?" 00:17:53.860 --> 00:17:57.860 They said "The oriental mind can't grasp technology." 00:17:57.860 --> 00:17:59.789 Of course, as you know today, 00:17:59.789 --> 00:18:03.280 they lead the world in robotics. 00:18:03.280 --> 00:18:06.850 So, all our thoughts about different kinds of people are lies. 00:18:06.850 --> 00:18:08.300 They are not real. 00:18:08.300 --> 00:18:12.550 We have to understand that all people tend to love their kids. 00:18:12.550 --> 00:18:15.830 All people want their kids to be better educated. 00:18:15.830 --> 00:18:18.670 All people want to know about nutrition. 00:18:18.670 --> 00:18:22.140 So, let's say the drug companies were really sincere. 00:18:22.140 --> 00:18:24.550 And they found out that celery juice 00:18:24.550 --> 00:18:26.240 lowers blood pressure. 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.770 You can't make any money selling celery juice, 'cause... 00:18:29.770 --> 00:18:32.530 But you can get two bucks for every pill you sell. 00:18:32.530 --> 00:18:35.120 So, there was a book written many years ago. 00:18:35.120 --> 00:18:38.330 I also like to know how many people ever heard of it. 00:18:38.330 --> 00:18:39.350 "A Hundred 00:18:39.350 --> 00:18:41.410 Million Guinea Pigs." 00:18:41.410 --> 00:18:43.410 How many of you have heard of that book? 00:18:43.410 --> 00:18:47.049 It should have been in every library. It's not. 00:18:47.049 --> 00:18:50.030 What did "A Hundred Million Guinea Pigs" talk about? 00:18:50.030 --> 00:18:54.020 The lies put out by the drug companies. 00:18:54.020 --> 00:18:57.700 And the people of America (it was a bestseller by the way in America, 00:18:57.700 --> 00:18:59.140 years ago) 00:18:59.140 --> 00:19:02.190 And they demanded that the government put in a Food and Drug 00:19:02.190 --> 00:19:03.270 Administration 00:19:03.270 --> 00:19:04.860 to check the claims 00:19:04.860 --> 00:19:06.550 of the drug companies. 00:19:06.550 --> 00:19:08.580 And they did. They got that in. 00:19:08.580 --> 00:19:13.250 Now it's run by people of the drug companies. 00:19:13.250 --> 00:19:15.650 Everything becomes corrupt. 00:19:15.650 --> 00:19:17.590 Everything we touch. 00:19:17.590 --> 00:19:19.950 So Oppenheimer 00:19:19.950 --> 00:19:23.540 went to visit Harry Truman (president Harry Truman). 00:19:23.540 --> 00:19:27.070 and said "Now that we have an atom bomb. 00:19:27.070 --> 00:19:31.480 Why don't you demonstrate it about 30 miles out at sea? 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:33.780 So that Japanese can see it. 00:19:33.780 --> 00:19:36.550 So you won't have to drop it over Japan. 00:19:36.550 --> 00:19:38.330 Give them a change to surrender." 00:19:38.330 --> 00:19:40.560 Harry Truman said "Get out of my office. 00:19:40.560 --> 00:19:42.860 I never want to see you guys again." 00:19:42.860 --> 00:19:46.740 And they dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima, Nagasaki. 00:19:46.740 --> 00:19:48.580 Because he was a jackass. 00:19:48.580 --> 00:19:51.450 Most presidents are very stupid people. 00:19:51.450 --> 00:19:53.540 They know nothing about ecology, 00:19:53.540 --> 00:19:55.480 evolution of the society. 00:19:55.480 --> 00:20:01.279 (Well, I have ever...) No politician has ever increased the agricultural yield, 00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:07.090 made automobiles safer, airplanes safer. What the hell they're doing there? 00:20:07.090 --> 00:20:09.050 How did they get the job? 00:20:09.050 --> 00:20:12.360 There is something dreadfully wrong with education. 00:20:12.360 --> 00:20:14.320 The people in Washington... 00:20:14.320 --> 00:20:19.029 I can only talk about them. I believe all countries are similar. 00:20:19.029 --> 00:20:22.920 The people in Washington should know more about human behavior, 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:24.840 the latest technologies. 00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:27.880 They tell you - "If you want freedom, write your congressman." 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:30.010 Why do you have to write them? 00:20:30.010 --> 00:20:31.100 He should know 00:20:31.100 --> 00:20:32.150 all those things. 00:20:32.150 --> 00:20:35.500 When you fly on an airplane, you don't have to write the pilot. 00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:39.850 Say, you've been flying at an angle for a half an hour. Straighten up. 00:20:39.850 --> 00:20:41.620 They know their business. 00:20:41.620 --> 00:20:47.150 The same for government. They should know everything about modern technology, 00:20:47.150 --> 00:20:48.180 human behavior. 00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:50.210 When you put a man in prison. 00:20:50.210 --> 00:20:52.380 Say he stole a watch that costs 00:20:52.380 --> 00:20:54.480 150 dollars. 00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:57.340 And that's the fourth time he committed that crime. 00:20:57.340 --> 00:20:59.070 So you put him in jail 00:20:59.070 --> 00:21:00.420 for seven years. 00:21:00.420 --> 00:21:03.180 That's a hell of a lot of watches you can give him. 00:21:03.180 --> 00:21:04.840 Figure the costs of that. 00:21:04.840 --> 00:21:07.240 Feeding him, medical care for seven years. 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:09.920 Let him have the watch. 00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:12.899 It's much cheaper to give people the thing they need 00:21:12.899 --> 00:21:14.590 than to kill them. 00:21:14.590 --> 00:21:18.410 It's much cheaper. Think of man in jail for life. 00:21:18.410 --> 00:21:20.320 Do you know how much that costs? 00:21:20.320 --> 00:21:24.040 They worried about the fact that he tried to rob the jewelry store 00:21:24.040 --> 00:21:27.390 of may be three or four hundred dollars. 00:21:27.390 --> 00:21:29.970 It's always cheaper to feed people. 00:21:29.970 --> 00:21:32.610 And when they go to jail, I can assure you, 00:21:32.610 --> 00:21:34.779 they don't come out any better. 00:21:34.779 --> 00:21:38.230 They call them correctional institute. They don't even know 00:21:38.230 --> 00:21:39.780 how to correct people. 00:21:39.780 --> 00:21:42.750 They are not people trained in that area. 00:21:42.750 --> 00:21:45.940 Then you have a bunch of people they call psychologist. 00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:48.150 I hope there is none here today. 00:21:48.150 --> 00:21:49.610 And psychiatrist 00:21:49.610 --> 00:21:51.280 that adjust you to this 00:21:51.280 --> 00:21:53.170 fucked up culture. 00:21:53.170 --> 00:21:55.379 How can you adjust people to this culture 00:21:55.379 --> 00:21:56.930 if you're sane? 00:21:56.930 --> 00:21:58.630 Do you understand what I mean? 00:21:58.630 --> 00:22:00.530 So even psychologist 00:22:00.530 --> 00:22:01.630 and psychiatrist 00:22:01.630 --> 00:22:03.009 are part of the culture. 00:22:03.009 --> 00:22:04.880 So is religion. 00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.420 "Jesus needs money". Jesus doesn't need anything. 00:22:08.420 --> 00:22:10.400 God doesn't need anything. 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.700 They also try to tell you that God so loved with the world, 00:22:14.700 --> 00:22:17.380 that he gave his only begotten son. 00:22:17.380 --> 00:22:19.720 According to the bible, it says 00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:21.360 they crucified Christ, 00:22:21.360 --> 00:22:22.419 he arose 00:22:22.419 --> 00:22:24.040 and ascended into heaven. 00:22:24.040 --> 00:22:26.980 Where is the sacrifice? 00:22:26.980 --> 00:22:29.280 Think about it. 00:22:29.280 --> 00:22:32.680 So, we don't think about what we've read. We just read 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:34.760 and we just yack. 00:22:34.760 --> 00:22:37.869 And so, when we asked to vote for somebody, we vote for somebody 00:22:37.869 --> 00:22:44.260 that fits the patters we've been brought up to accept. 00:22:44.260 --> 00:22:46.960 Now during the question period please 00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:48.450 don't be polite. 00:22:48.450 --> 00:22:52.270 If I say anything you don't understand, say "I don't get it." 00:22:52.270 --> 00:22:56.409 And If I fail to answer your question, say "You didn't answer my question." 00:22:56.409 --> 00:22:57.809 Don't be polite. 00:22:57.809 --> 00:22:59.710 So at the question period 00:22:59.710 --> 00:23:02.630 we will examine some of the idea 00:23:02.630 --> 00:23:06.380 and I want you to ask all kinds of naughty questions. 00:23:06.380 --> 00:23:08.460 Don't accept the thing I say. 00:23:08.460 --> 00:23:10.330 I don't want you to follow me. 00:23:10.330 --> 00:23:13.770 I want you to listen to what I say. If it makes sense, do it. 00:23:13.770 --> 00:23:17.300 If you like The Venus Project, when you leave here, 00:23:17.300 --> 00:23:19.930 if you don't talk to other people about it, 00:23:19.930 --> 00:23:22.030 nothing will happen. 00:23:22.030 --> 00:23:25.880 So, if you like what we stand for, look, it's not perfect. 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:28.830 It's just a lot better than the society you live in. 00:23:28.830 --> 00:23:31.149 And it will continue to get better. 00:23:31.149 --> 00:23:34.240 There are no final frontiers. People think 00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:38.900 I am a Utopian, I believe that you can make the best of all possible worlds. 00:23:38.900 --> 00:23:40.340 I don't. 00:23:40.340 --> 00:23:43.130 Even If I design a city that works, 00:23:43.130 --> 00:23:46.970 that city will be a straitjacket to the kids of the future. 00:23:46.970 --> 00:23:49.020 They will design their own cities. 00:23:49.020 --> 00:23:51.830 If you make a statue of me and put it in the city 00:23:51.830 --> 00:23:54.890 that holds people back. 00:23:54.890 --> 00:24:00.640 In order to move forward you have to look at things, examine it, improve it, move on. 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.170 History is very poor. 00:24:03.170 --> 00:24:05.040 You don't learn much from it. 00:24:05.040 --> 00:24:06.700 If you study history 00:24:06.700 --> 00:24:08.670 exclusively, 00:24:08.670 --> 00:24:10.790 you won't come up with new ideas. 00:24:10.790 --> 00:24:17.030 We want to move on. There is no such thing as utopia. Every city I design 00:24:17.030 --> 00:24:20.180 would be the best I know up to now. 00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:23.630 And as time goes on you learn more and the city changes. 00:24:23.630 --> 00:24:25.630 Nothing can be frozen 00:24:25.630 --> 00:24:27.340 and kept that way. 00:24:27.340 --> 00:24:29.330 Everything keeps changing. 00:24:29.330 --> 00:24:31.370 There are no final frontiers. 00:24:31.370 --> 00:24:34.550 That's what the matter with heaven. It's fixed. 00:24:34.550 --> 00:24:39.630 Everything is the same way. Consider this - if you went to heaven and you look down 00:24:39.630 --> 00:24:41.730 to starving kid in Africa, 00:24:41.730 --> 00:24:45.650 war on Earth. Would heaven be a peaceful place for you? 00:24:45.650 --> 00:24:47.690 Absolutely not. 00:24:47.690 --> 00:24:50.999 There were bands of angels that turned against God. 00:24:50.999 --> 00:24:52.559 So he kicked them all out. 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:54.539 They call them fallen angels. 00:24:54.539 --> 00:24:58.820 If he don't have a peace up there, how the hell you're going to have it down here? 00:24:58.820 --> 00:25:01.580 You have to read your bible. You have to be ruthlessly 00:25:01.580 --> 00:25:08.060 honest. 00:25:08.060 --> 00:25:10.799 If you not honest, it won't work. 00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:12.230 It says in the bible 00:25:12.230 --> 00:25:13.509 "Judge not, 00:25:13.509 --> 00:25:15.250 lest ye be judged." 00:25:15.250 --> 00:25:17.970 That means "don't judge anybody." You don't know enough 00:25:17.970 --> 00:25:19.809 about what made him that way. 00:25:19.809 --> 00:25:21.610 That also says in the bible 00:25:21.610 --> 00:25:23.350 "Therefore 00:25:23.350 --> 00:25:30.080 but by the grace of God, go I". That's anybody you see in a wheelchair, blind. All of us, 00:25:30.080 --> 00:25:32.320 that can happen to all of us. 00:25:32.320 --> 00:25:34.390 They don't know what to do about it. 00:25:34.390 --> 00:25:37.839 In 1927 I came up with a little idea, 00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:39.850 which I got from bats. 00:25:39.850 --> 00:25:43.649 Bats can fly at night and not hit anything. 00:25:43.649 --> 00:25:45.870 How do they do it? By sound. 00:25:45.870 --> 00:25:49.590 So I made a little gadget that would fit over the person's ear 00:25:49.590 --> 00:25:51.130 and generate sound waves. 00:25:51.130 --> 00:25:54.430 So you can hear an open door even though you're blind. 00:25:54.430 --> 00:25:57.940 You can hear an object in front of you by sound feedback. 00:25:57.940 --> 00:25:59.100 So we can build 00:25:59.100 --> 00:26:03.289 things in all cities so that blind don't need that white stick 00:26:03.289 --> 00:26:05.480 or a dog or anything like that. 00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:06.399 In a mean time 00:26:06.399 --> 00:26:09.660 we'll work on artificial systems of vision. 00:26:09.660 --> 00:26:13.370 I think that human being can solve any problem. 00:26:13.370 --> 00:26:17.620 If you don't understand me (I am not upholding Germany this time. 00:26:17.620 --> 00:26:19.590 Some people think I do.) 00:26:19.590 --> 00:26:23.590 We formed the blockade to prevent the Germans from getting rubber. 00:26:23.590 --> 00:26:25.930 But they had enough technicians 00:26:25.930 --> 00:26:29.800 So they synthetic rubber, all the rubber from their airplanes 00:26:29.800 --> 00:26:30.250 and everything 00:26:30.250 --> 00:26:32.840 out of their own chemistry. 00:26:32.840 --> 00:26:34.440 So... with technicians 00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:36.960 not in charge. 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:41.260 Understand - I don't want to see science in charge of government... 00:26:41.260 --> 00:26:43.029 or technicians. 00:26:43.029 --> 00:26:44.880 What I want to see 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.250 is their assignment to problems such as 00:26:48.250 --> 00:26:50.320 agriculture. 00:26:50.320 --> 00:26:53.590 When you can grow food twice as fast on the soil, 00:26:53.590 --> 00:26:55.450 you exhaust the soil. 00:26:55.450 --> 00:27:00.200 So we want to know how to grow food faster without exhausting the soil. 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:04.350 The United States Army dumped 65 tons 00:27:04.350 --> 00:27:05.729 of nerve gas 00:27:05.729 --> 00:27:08.650 into the ocean off the coast of Miami 00:27:08.650 --> 00:27:10.100 near the Golf Stream. 00:27:10.100 --> 00:27:11.700 How can you love the country 00:27:11.700 --> 00:27:13.119 if the army did that? 00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:14.760 They don't know what they are doing. 00:27:14.760 --> 00:27:18.049 "We want you to dump nerve gas." - "Yes, sir." 00:27:18.049 --> 00:27:20.450 We don't want obedient people anymore. 00:27:20.450 --> 00:27:22.820 We want you to understand what's happening. 00:27:22.820 --> 00:27:26.429 We don't want to vote for a senator - some other jackass. 00:27:26.429 --> 00:27:29.040 They are incompetent. All of them. 00:27:29.040 --> 00:27:30.790 I want you to understand 00:27:30.790 --> 00:27:33.350 everything that you have today 00:27:33.350 --> 00:27:36.720 is your electric lights, your airplanes, your automobiles. 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:38.810 You have nothing to do with them. 00:27:38.810 --> 00:27:43.549 You got them just being born in a country that has that technology. 00:27:43.549 --> 00:27:45.150 You got it for nothing. 00:27:45.150 --> 00:27:48.029 I don't think any of you here worked on the electric light 00:27:48.029 --> 00:27:49.139 or radio, 00:27:49.139 --> 00:27:51.720 or television, very few people. 00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:55.740 You've got all them for nothing. Does it hurt you? Of course not. 00:27:55.740 --> 00:27:59.130 They say - "Well, you don't want to give people things for nothing. Do you?" 00:27:59.130 --> 00:28:02.010 This kid said that to me at Princeton University. 00:28:02.010 --> 00:28:04.649 "Fresco, you want to give people things for nothing." 00:28:04.649 --> 00:28:07.320 So I said - "Are you paying your way through college?" 00:28:07.320 --> 00:28:12.139 He said - "No, my dad is." - I said - "Does that hurt you?" 00:28:12.139 --> 00:28:14.730 This kid said to me he still doesn't believe 00:28:14.730 --> 00:28:17.600 anybody ought to get things for nothing. 00:28:17.600 --> 00:28:21.659 So I said to him "Well. As I understand your father is wealthy. If he dies, 00:28:21.659 --> 00:28:25.000 you want that his money to go to the heart fund 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:30.090 and the cancer fund, but not to you 'cause you don't believe anybody ought to get anything 00:28:30.090 --> 00:28:30.930 for nothing." 00:28:30.930 --> 00:28:34.120 He said "Just a minute now!" 00:28:34.120 --> 00:28:37.930 Everybody wants things for nothing. You've got the earth for nothing. You were born 00:28:37.930 --> 00:28:38.580 here. 00:28:38.580 --> 00:28:41.970 Beautiful scenery, clouds. You didn't make those things. 00:28:41.970 --> 00:28:43.880 Does it hurt you? Of course not. 00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:46.190 But if you're born in a polluted world 00:28:46.190 --> 00:28:49.520 with smog in the air and automobile pollution, 00:28:49.520 --> 00:28:52.600 you say - "I guess that's the way it is". It isn't that way! 00:28:52.600 --> 00:28:54.910 It's because the people in charge in government 00:28:54.910 --> 00:28:57.830 are totally incompetent. 00:28:57.830 --> 00:29:00.710 So what you really want is a world free 00:29:00.710 --> 00:29:05.250 of burden, pain, prisons, police, crime. 00:29:05.250 --> 00:29:06.880 Can we do that? 00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:09.640 The church has been trying to do that for year. 00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:10.919 They don't know how. 00:29:10.919 --> 00:29:12.920 They have no idea how to do it. 00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:16.600 They say "Be kind. Be good". How do you do that? 00:29:16.600 --> 00:29:19.630 So I wanted my children 00:29:19.630 --> 00:29:20.930 (two of them) 00:29:20.930 --> 00:29:22.110 to learn 00:29:22.110 --> 00:29:23.750 how to read. 00:29:23.750 --> 00:29:25.980 So I never taught them how to read. 00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:27.880 I would open a book at night 00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:30.110 and I read to them in bed. 00:29:30.110 --> 00:29:33.049 I read to them about things kids are interested in. 00:29:33.049 --> 00:29:34.810 This happened to be my son. 00:29:34.810 --> 00:29:39.260 He was about four years old. I was reading about dinosaurs. 00:29:39.260 --> 00:29:43.050 And I said - "When the two dinosaurs met... Aeeh [yawn]" 00:29:43.050 --> 00:29:45.299 I said - "That's all for tonight." I close it. 00:29:45.299 --> 00:29:48.240 He - "What happened when the dinosaurs met?" 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.490 I said - "Look, If you learn to read you can figure it out for yourself." 00:29:52.490 --> 00:29:57.210 So I gave him a reason to want to read. Don't just teach them to read. 00:29:57.210 --> 00:29:59.499 Teach them a reason for want to learn 00:29:59.499 --> 00:30:01.529 mathematics. 00:30:01.529 --> 00:30:05.700 Teachers teach you how to read. "The Dickie Dare and his sheep. 00:30:05.700 --> 00:30:11.430 On the way he met a cow. "Moo moo", said the cow". What is that crap? 00:30:11.430 --> 00:30:14.720 And then they have it in America (I don't know how much you have it here) 00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:16.550 The Mickey Mouse Club. 00:30:16.550 --> 00:30:18.389 Now, what the hell happens 00:30:18.389 --> 00:30:21.870 if you condition kids to join The Mickey Mouse Club. 00:30:21.870 --> 00:30:24.760 You make a bunch of Pinheads. 00:30:24.760 --> 00:30:28.570 Do you understand? Kids want to know everything. How the airplanes fly. 00:30:28.570 --> 00:30:30.840 "Daddy, what make the light go on." 00:30:30.840 --> 00:30:32.440 He - "I don't know that." 00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:37.240 Daddy usually doesn't know anything. And congressmen know less. 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:40.400 So, I'm saying - Everything that you have is technical. 00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:41.929 Think about it. 00:30:41.929 --> 00:30:45.679 If we took away technology. If you shut down boulder dam. 00:30:45.679 --> 00:30:46.470 Tomorrow 00:30:46.470 --> 00:30:48.849 all the food in all the refrigerator 00:30:48.849 --> 00:30:51.789 from LA to San Francisco 00:30:51.789 --> 00:30:54.100 would fail. 00:30:54.100 --> 00:30:55.970 All the food would rot away. 00:30:55.970 --> 00:30:58.380 Everything that you have is technology. 00:30:58.380 --> 00:31:04.600 If you shut down the power projects, men would have to pull cars and boats. 00:31:04.600 --> 00:31:08.409 They did it on the Volga River. They had to pull freighters. 00:31:08.409 --> 00:31:11.400 Men (slaves) were whipped to do that. 00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:13.240 Slavery 00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:15.560 was normal in the old days. 00:31:15.560 --> 00:31:19.870 And kings felt that they were put here to rule over people. 00:31:19.870 --> 00:31:22.690 People in my position like to think 00:31:22.690 --> 00:31:26.940 that they are here to try to make the world a better place. Divine wisdom 00:31:26.940 --> 00:31:30.320 guides them. 00:31:30.320 --> 00:31:33.280 Look... Divine wisdom doesn't guide anybody. 00:31:33.280 --> 00:31:37.090 When Christians were fed to lions, they prayed like hell. 00:31:37.090 --> 00:31:39.930 The Jews in concentration camp prayed 00:31:39.930 --> 00:31:41.350 and they were burned. 00:31:41.350 --> 00:31:43.630 In Salem, Massachusetts, 00:31:43.630 --> 00:31:47.710 if a woman spoke up and she didn't quite agree with everything, 00:31:47.710 --> 00:31:50.529 she was burned alive as a witch. 00:31:50.529 --> 00:31:52.450 Now, here is what you didn't know. 00:31:52.450 --> 00:31:55.500 I'm talking about United States. 00:31:55.500 --> 00:31:59.080 Women, hundreds of them were burned alive. 00:31:59.080 --> 00:32:00.900 Because they thought about things... 00:32:00.900 --> 00:32:02.630 just a little different. 00:32:02.630 --> 00:32:07.150 But, then what you didn't know is for every witch you found you inherited 00:32:07.150 --> 00:32:09.580 their bank account and their land. 00:32:09.580 --> 00:32:13.159 So, it's a good job looking for witches in the old days. 00:32:13.159 --> 00:32:17.270 The more you can find, the more money you got... and free. 00:32:17.270 --> 00:32:19.090 So, here you have a world 00:32:19.090 --> 00:32:21.410 that is sicker than shit. 00:32:21.410 --> 00:32:25.420 And what I say I mean it, I mean that the world you live in 00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:27.589 is consisted of the stupid people 00:32:27.589 --> 00:32:29.690 including the military. 00:32:29.690 --> 00:32:31.799 The Pentagon and Washington think 00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:34.190 that they are there to defend the country. 00:32:34.190 --> 00:32:39.250 Whatever a man can think of, some other buddy can think of a way around that. 00:32:39.250 --> 00:32:41.089 You can't secure yourself. 00:32:41.089 --> 00:32:45.269 You think that you go to an airport, you put your luggage down, they x-ray it 00:32:45.269 --> 00:32:46.650 and you're alright. 00:32:46.650 --> 00:32:48.910 I can design clothing 00:32:48.910 --> 00:32:51.470 that gives off nerve gas. 00:32:51.470 --> 00:32:54.769 There are other ways around anything. I personally could think. 00:32:54.769 --> 00:32:56.880 I wouldn't do that of course. 00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:58.770 I wouldn't work on weapons. 00:32:58.770 --> 00:33:02.020 When I was drafted in the army the first thing they've said 00:33:02.020 --> 00:33:06.140 "Can you make a bomb, Fresco, that goes sideways instead of up?" 00:33:06.140 --> 00:33:08.820 I've said - "I have no idea how to do that." 00:33:08.820 --> 00:33:12.280 It says - "cast ye your pearls before swine" 00:33:12.280 --> 00:33:14.399 People are not educated yet. 00:33:14.399 --> 00:33:15.789 They should not have 00:33:15.789 --> 00:33:17.930 weapons of mass destruction. 00:33:17.930 --> 00:33:19.630 They don't know how to use it. 00:33:19.630 --> 00:33:24.440 They should have technology that enhances all humans’ life. 00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:27.200 This is what religion tries to do. 00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:32.110 I would say that The Venus Project is the nearest thing to the brotherhood 00:33:32.110 --> 00:33:34.590 of humanity. 00:33:34.590 --> 00:33:38.210 So I want to try to tell you a little more about people. 00:33:38.210 --> 00:33:41.220 If you were raised in the Nazi Germany as a baby. 00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:43.080 If you never saw anything else 00:33:43.080 --> 00:33:44.750 as the "Heil Hitler". 00:33:44.750 --> 00:33:46.310 If you're raised in France 00:33:46.310 --> 00:33:47.930 "La Tour Eiffel". 00:33:47.930 --> 00:33:49.950 Your facial expression, everything. 00:33:49.950 --> 00:33:52.190 If you're raised in the South of America, 00:33:52.190 --> 00:33:54.429 you speak with a southern accent. 00:33:54.429 --> 00:33:57.810 If I say "Stop speaking with it".

You can't. 00:35:16.689 --> 00:35:19.219 'Cause you think as an American or a Frenchman, 00:35:19.219 --> 00:35:22.969 or a German, or a Greek, 00:35:22.969 --> 00:35:24.189 or an Italian. 00:35:24.189 --> 00:35:27.959 So.. really.. when Germans speak, they speak (when they come to this country) 00:35:27.959 --> 00:35:32.450 They speak and say "Well, I give you some idea what happened." 00:35:32.450 --> 00:35:33.969 That's the way they speak. 00:35:33.969 --> 00:35:37.739 They pick it up. It's a cross between German and English. 00:35:37.739 --> 00:35:40.630 I worked for a guy named Ernst Udet, 00:35:40.630 --> 00:35:42.189 who was an ace 00:35:42.189 --> 00:35:46.619 of World War I. He shot down 71 planes. 00:35:46.619 --> 00:35:48.390 Since I worked for him, 00:35:48.390 --> 00:35:51.659 I said "How did you shoot down 71 airplanes?" 00:35:51.659 --> 00:35:55.809 May be if you shot down 5 or 6, that's possible. 00:35:55.809 --> 00:35:57.979 But how can you shoot down 71 00:35:57.979 --> 00:35:59.449 airplaines? 00:35:59.449 --> 00:36:03.549 He said [German accent] "It's very easy, Fresco." (That's the way he spoke) 00:36:03.549 --> 00:36:06.549 He said "I would fly above the squadrons 00:36:06.549 --> 00:36:08.969 'und' I looked for a rookie, 00:36:08.969 --> 00:36:13.169 a bad pilot, that didn´t know how, and I pick them off" 00:36:13.169 --> 00:36:15.549 So, is he a good man? 00:36:15.549 --> 00:36:18.269 Is he kind? Is he humane? 00:36:18.269 --> 00:36:20.199 Same with Eddie Rickenbacker. 00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:22.400 They always fly above the squadron 00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.799 and look for guys who can't fly too well and picked them off. 00:36:25.799 --> 00:36:27.749 That gives you a lot of medals, 00:36:27.749 --> 00:36:30.419 a lot of X's on your fuselage. 00:36:30.419 --> 00:36:32.879 So when you're brought up, 00:36:32.879 --> 00:36:36.710 you're brought up [where] lot of people go to church and say "Thou shall not kill" 00:36:36.710 --> 00:36:40.109 So it's hard to get people to enlist in the army. 00:36:40.109 --> 00:36:44.729 So they give Japanese or Chinese Americans false teeth. 00:36:44.729 --> 00:36:46.189 And they make a movie 00:36:46.189 --> 00:36:49.059 by Frank Capra called "Why we fight?" 00:36:49.059 --> 00:36:50.779 And it shows these 00:36:50.779 --> 00:36:52.210 Japanese kids 00:36:52.210 --> 00:36:54.069 raping a woman. 00:36:54.069 --> 00:36:56.719 And the enlistment goes up 71 percent. 00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:58.719 You have to teach hatred 00:36:58.719 --> 00:37:00.239 to have war 00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.489 to be a working system. 00:37:02.489 --> 00:37:05.239 An army man unfortunately 00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:09.289 10 year after the war - that's the most exciting thing in their life. 00:37:09.289 --> 00:37:12.589 And they always go back and join The American Legion. 00:37:12.589 --> 00:37:14.940 And they talk about the days they shot these 00:37:14.940 --> 00:37:17.369 god damn slanty eyed bastards. 00:37:17.369 --> 00:37:19.430 And the Germans were called Krauts, 00:37:19.430 --> 00:37:20.739 not human beings. 00:37:20.739 --> 00:37:22.959 So, we shot them too. 00:37:22.959 --> 00:37:25.509 So, soldiers are killing machines. 00:37:25.509 --> 00:37:27.850 And if you want a world without war, 00:37:27.850 --> 00:37:30.809 people have to be educated to understand, 00:37:30.809 --> 00:37:34.330 that all people need the same thing - good food, 00:37:34.330 --> 00:37:37.029 healthy livings and relevant education. 00:37:37.029 --> 00:37:38.619 Not killing. 00:37:38.619 --> 00:37:42.219 Because war only produces hatred over the years. 00:37:42.219 --> 00:37:45.479 They remember that you killed their kids, their parents. 00:37:45.479 --> 00:37:47.359 And they want to get even with you. 00:37:47.359 --> 00:37:51.489 And some people say to me (I'm just imitating them) 00:37:51.489 --> 00:37:56.109 "Why are these god damn north Koreans building rockets? And why are these 00:37:56.109 --> 00:37:58.789 Chinese building big armies? 00:37:58.789 --> 00:38:00.529 They are threat to us." 00:38:00.529 --> 00:38:03.609 But, again I don't want you to take my word for this. 00:38:03.609 --> 00:38:07.909 There's a newspaper in England called "The Telegraph". 00:38:07.909 --> 00:38:09.710 "The London Telegraph". 00:38:09.710 --> 00:38:13.069 And in this newspaper they ran a headline 00:38:13.069 --> 00:38:15.249 (about seven years ago) 00:38:15.249 --> 00:38:18.770 "The US intends to bomb seven countries". 00:38:18.770 --> 00:38:20.229 Nuclear bomb, 00:38:20.229 --> 00:38:21.420 sneak attack 00:38:21.420 --> 00:38:22.990 on seven countries. 00:38:22.990 --> 00:38:25.569 It names North Korea, China. 00:38:25.569 --> 00:38:27.890 All the countries we don't like. 00:38:27.890 --> 00:38:29.359 Headlined 00:38:29.359 --> 00:38:31.539 in the "Telegraph". You haven't seen that. 00:38:31.539 --> 00:38:34.119 So, write for it, don't take my word for it. 00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:39.819 When you do that, if China said "We intend to bomb England, France, United States 00:38:39.819 --> 00:38:40.680 and other countries", 00:38:40.680 --> 00:38:42.450 we were armed to the tooth. 00:38:42.450 --> 00:38:44.950 That's why they are all building nuclear weapons. 00:38:44.950 --> 00:38:46.460 They are afraid of us, 00:38:46.460 --> 00:38:48.309 afraid of America. 00:38:48.309 --> 00:38:52.440 I didn't know they ran that, so you say "Why are these god damn Chinese doing that?" 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:55.099 "Why are these god damn Koreans doing that?" 00:38:55.099 --> 00:38:57.029 They are doing it 'cause they are scared 00:38:57.029 --> 00:38:58.330 of the United States. 00:38:58.330 --> 00:39:00.419 And United States, 00:39:00.419 --> 00:39:04.749 are their intentions good? They may be, but they are stupid people. Even if they 00:39:04.749 --> 00:39:06.379 intended to do that, 00:39:06.379 --> 00:39:08.209 they should not have released it. 00:39:08.209 --> 00:39:10.739 It was released by the Pentagon. 00:39:10.739 --> 00:39:13.219 According to the "Telegraph." 00:39:13.219 --> 00:39:14.649 So, there is your reason. 00:39:14.649 --> 00:39:17.499 People behave as they've been conditioned, 00:39:17.499 --> 00:39:23.329 as they manage news and turn you off from things they think you ought not to hear. 00:39:23.329 --> 00:39:28.529 Like the theory of evolution was held back for a long time. 00:39:28.529 --> 00:39:31.669 And in all the parks in America (or most of them) 00:39:31.669 --> 00:39:34.469 There are canons, war tanks, airplanes. 00:39:34.469 --> 00:39:36.440 There should be statues of people 00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:38.089 that increase food 00:39:38.089 --> 00:39:41.559 that did wonderful changes in medicine. "Wash your hands." 00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:43.249 "Retain cleanliness." 00:39:43.249 --> 00:39:44.950 They used to cut cadavers 00:39:44.950 --> 00:39:47.849 and then they go right on and do child birth 00:39:47.849 --> 00:39:49.129 with surgery. 00:39:49.129 --> 00:39:52.349 And the women would die of childbirth fever. 00:39:52.349 --> 00:39:56.979 That was because they did cutting with cadavers, never washed their hands. 00:39:56.979 --> 00:40:02.509 And the doctor that told them to wash their hands was kicked out of the university. 00:40:02.509 --> 00:40:05.059 Because he told them to wash their hands. 00:40:05.059 --> 00:40:06.489 "How the hell are you 00:40:06.489 --> 00:40:08.139 to tell us what to do?" 00:40:08.139 --> 00:40:12.249 So, everything new was fought - women's rights, 00:40:12.249 --> 00:40:15.019 child labor. There used to be children in factories. 00:40:15.019 --> 00:40:17.469 Of course it's a little before your time. 00:40:17.469 --> 00:40:20.959 But people marched to get the children out of the factories. 00:40:20.959 --> 00:40:22.939 And they had rotten eggs throws at them. 00:40:22.939 --> 00:40:25.119 When you fought for women's rights, 00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:27.819 the same thing, there were rotten eggs thrown at you. 00:40:27.819 --> 00:40:31.979 "What do you mean 'women'? Women only good for two things, you know." So, they had 00:40:31.979 --> 00:40:33.620 notions about women. 00:40:33.620 --> 00:40:37.589 "You know, women can't learn to be architects and engineers. 00:40:37.589 --> 00:40:39.650 Women are just good to produce babies 00:40:39.650 --> 00:40:41.729 and cook for the old man." 00:40:41.729 --> 00:40:44.589 Well, all this crap is disappearing. 00:40:44.589 --> 00:40:47.339 But every inch of the way of progress 00:40:47.339 --> 00:40:49.449 was fought. Just remember that. 00:40:49.449 --> 00:40:51.489 Nothing comes easy. 00:40:51.489 --> 00:40:55.099 People are now producing articles about The Venus Project, 00:40:55.099 --> 00:40:57.149 because we're better known now. 00:40:57.149 --> 00:41:00.219 They say - "Fresco get his money from the Vatican 00:41:00.219 --> 00:41:01.959 or the Rothschild family, 00:41:01.959 --> 00:41:04.030 or this banking institute." 00:41:04.030 --> 00:41:09.789 I don't have any money. "Fresco has two Mercedes." I don't even have a car. 00:41:09.789 --> 00:41:14.999 So, anyway they will spread whatever rumors they have to keep in power. 00:41:14.999 --> 00:41:16.749 And that's what you're up against. 00:41:16.749 --> 00:41:18.899 Whatever you do anything new 00:41:18.899 --> 00:41:22.419 or different. Instead of, people are saying "You know, that's interesting thing. 00:41:22.419 --> 00:41:24.409 Let me think about it.", you know. 00:41:24.409 --> 00:41:25.759 They get mad at you, 00:41:25.759 --> 00:41:28.789 because you're upsetting the apple-cart. 00:41:28.789 --> 00:41:30.509 And that's what it's about. 00:41:30.509 --> 00:41:33.579 We have a tough job ahead. All of us. 00:41:33.579 --> 00:41:35.340 If you wish to live in a world 00:41:35.340 --> 00:41:41.130 without war, poverty, unemployment, hunger, human suffering, you have to 00:41:41.130 --> 00:41:42.629 talk to other people. 00:41:42.629 --> 00:41:43.900 If you do nothing, 00:41:43.900 --> 00:41:48.219 I can assure you, nothing will happen. 00:41:48.219 --> 00:41:51.849 So I think I can open this portion to questions. 00:41:51.849 --> 00:41:54.699 So Roxanne and I will take questions 00:41:54.699 --> 00:41:56.239 from any one of you. 00:41:56.239 --> 99:59:59.999 Thank you again.
