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