1 00:00:00,148 --> 00:00:02,948 A salute to everybody. I'm LeeKei. And this is our interview 2 00:00:02,948 --> 00:00:05,817 with the founder of The Venus Project - Jacque Fresco. 3 00:00:05,817 --> 00:00:11,565 We decided not to ask him hackneyed questions asked him at every interview, every conference, 4 00:00:11,565 --> 00:00:15,076 those you can find on YouTube. Although there were some old question also. 5 00:00:15,076 --> 00:00:20,068 We decided to ask questions that relate to our videos: 6 00:00:20,068 --> 00:00:25,045 about sex in the future, about vegetarianism, about the attitude toward animals, 7 00:00:25,045 --> 00:00:28,064 about the future after the future... Everything 8 00:00:28,064 --> 00:00:32,525 that we have talked about in our videos more or less, 9 00:00:32,525 --> 00:00:39,417 but I wonder, like from series of "man with a beard," what he says, this cool guy. We'll see... 10 00:00:39,417 --> 00:00:42,000 What sex will mean to people of the future? 11 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,668 Sex in the future will be much milder. 12 00:00:45,668 --> 00:00:50,068 There will be very few people that are oversexed. 13 00:00:50,068 --> 00:00:54,411 Sex will be accepted as normal, just as 14 00:00:54,411 --> 00:00:59,017 going for a walk or whatever it is natural to do. 15 00:00:59,017 --> 00:01:01,988 People will have sex but they won't talk about it 16 00:01:01,988 --> 00:01:04,514 Nobody will say, "Gee, I just had sex!" 17 00:01:04,514 --> 00:01:09,874 They wouldn't say, "Was it good?". None of that any more. 18 00:01:09,874 --> 00:01:13,108 You won't have to seduce girls. 19 00:01:13,108 --> 00:01:15,828 They'll have sex because they want it. 20 00:01:15,828 --> 00:01:20,251 Yes! Kostik, we've said the same already a year ago. 21 00:01:20,251 --> 00:01:22,731 See here this video once again. 22 00:01:22,731 --> 00:01:27,006 Will people in the future exploit animals for food, fur and decoration? 23 00:01:27,006 --> 00:01:29,036 I don't think so. 24 00:01:29,036 --> 00:01:34,354 I think they will move toward organic vegetarianism. 25 00:01:34,354 --> 00:01:37,748 And I think that it will feed more people 26 00:01:37,748 --> 00:01:41,611 and be less toxic to the environment. 27 00:01:41,611 --> 00:01:47,092 Double Yes! Kostik, about this we talked just recently in this issue. 28 00:01:47,092 --> 00:01:53,931 What would motivate a person in the future? Now many people are motivated by money, and this is not happiness. 29 00:01:53,931 --> 00:01:59,028 Most of the incentive will be based on similar values, 30 00:01:59,028 --> 00:02:05,051 meaning: you put an end to war, fights, arguments. 31 00:02:05,051 --> 00:02:10,822 And all that will be obvious as compared to today's society. 32 00:02:10,822 --> 00:02:13,044 And the people will feed good because 33 00:02:13,044 --> 00:02:19,337 they got rid of the interference factors in language. 34 00:02:19,337 --> 00:02:22,982 They will learn to communicate more accurately. 35 00:02:22,982 --> 00:02:25,084 Roxanne: What is the incentive in the future? 36 00:02:25,084 --> 00:02:33,657 Incentive is the accomplishment of the end of arguments and disputes. 37 00:02:33,657 --> 00:02:38,016 People will be able to communicate their ideas to other people 38 00:02:38,016 --> 00:02:40,411 so that they understand them. 39 00:02:40,411 --> 00:02:44,617 Roxanne: What is the incentive when there is no money? 40 00:02:44,617 --> 00:02:50,914 Incentive is the observation of the end of stress between people. 41 00:02:50,914 --> 00:02:52,697 That's the incentive! 42 00:02:52,697 --> 00:02:54,925 The stress come to an end, 43 00:02:54,925 --> 00:02:56,994 and they learn how to communicate, 44 00:02:56,994 --> 00:03:01,474 and they satisfied with other people understanding what they mean, 45 00:03:01,474 --> 00:03:04,377 not interpreting what they mean. 46 00:03:04,377 --> 00:03:08,891 What steps have been taken towarda a resource-based economy? 47 00:03:08,891 --> 00:03:12,857 Well, first we have to introduce people to what it is 48 00:03:12,857 --> 00:03:15,017 and why it is. 49 00:03:15,017 --> 00:03:20,114 And if they understand it, then we can go into more detail. 50 00:03:20,114 --> 00:03:24,024 Roxanne: What we've done so far to introduce a Resource-Based Economy? 51 00:03:24,024 --> 00:03:26,377 We've been doing it all along. 52 00:03:26,377 --> 00:03:29,451 Answering questions. 53 00:03:29,451 --> 00:03:32,182 Roxanne: What about books, movies, videos? 54 00:03:32,182 --> 00:03:37,565 Yes, we'll use books, movies, videos, diagrams, 55 00:03:37,565 --> 00:03:43,177 whatever will help people understand, putting it together. 56 00:03:43,177 --> 00:03:46,594 It will not be subject to interpretation. 57 00:03:46,594 --> 00:03:52,502 Which of officials or government agencies, or famous people support The Venus Project? 58 00:03:52,502 --> 00:03:54,708 That I can't answer. 59 00:03:54,708 --> 00:03:58,072 I think that famous people are victims of culture 60 00:03:58,072 --> 00:04:00,502 just like everybody else. 61 00:04:00,502 --> 00:04:03,068 What will happen after the resource-based economy? 62 00:04:03,068 --> 00:04:09,257 Everything changes, nothing is static. What will be the future after the future? 63 00:04:09,257 --> 00:04:13,417 Well, I think that language will be improved considerably. 64 00:04:13,417 --> 00:04:18,262 And there will be shortcuts in language, explaining 65 00:04:18,262 --> 00:04:21,097 systems... In other words, if a person says: 66 00:04:21,097 --> 00:04:23,691 "What is a Resource-Based Economy?" 67 00:04:23,691 --> 00:04:27,428 It would go to: sharing all the Earth's resources 68 00:04:27,428 --> 00:04:30,697 amongst all the different people of the Earth. 69 00:04:30,697 --> 00:04:34,285 There's no such thing as priority groups 70 00:04:34,285 --> 00:04:36,537 that get advantage. 71 00:04:36,537 --> 00:04:41,588 We wish you a long life, but what will happen to The Venus Project after you pass away. 72 00:04:41,588 --> 00:04:45,028 Who will promote it? Will there be enough people to unite? 73 00:04:45,028 --> 00:04:48,708 It depends how well people understand it - 74 00:04:48,708 --> 00:04:53,417 whether it continues along the lines of The Venus Project. 75 00:04:53,417 --> 00:04:56,571 For example, 76 00:04:56,571 --> 00:05:00,948 The Venus Project must do certain things. 77 00:05:00,948 --> 00:05:02,708 So, if people ask me: 78 00:05:02,708 --> 00:05:06,072 "Can anybody else take over and do what they want to do?" 79 00:05:06,072 --> 00:05:07,691 No. 80 00:05:07,691 --> 00:05:10,834 The Venus Project must invite all nations 81 00:05:10,834 --> 00:05:15,782 to participate in the restoration of the environment 82 00:05:15,782 --> 00:05:20,011 as near the natural conditions as possible. 83 00:05:20,011 --> 00:05:23,897 They must do that. It must be all inclusive... 84 00:05:23,897 --> 00:05:27,988 All the nations, separate nations have to become one people 85 00:05:27,988 --> 00:05:30,274 that agree to take care of the oceans 86 00:05:30,274 --> 00:05:34,377 the atmosphere and the forest. To restore them. 87 00:05:34,377 --> 00:05:39,005 And if they agree to that, then it will be The Venus Project. 88 00:05:39,005 --> 00:05:41,668 But if they go off in some other direction 89 00:05:41,668 --> 00:05:46,171 where it's exclusive in Canada only, it won't work. 90 00:05:46,171 --> 00:05:48,537 It must be international. 91 00:05:48,537 --> 00:05:52,008 If anything happens to me, the people that take over 92 00:05:52,008 --> 00:05:56,902 will be people that understand the values of The Venus Project 93 00:05:56,902 --> 00:06:00,754 and why it does what it does, 94 00:06:00,754 --> 00:06:05,314 why it advocates a given direction, not any direction. 95 00:06:05,314 --> 00:06:10,251 Any direction will bring it to old problems again: 96 00:06:10,251 --> 00:06:13,474 fights, disagreements, arguments. 97 00:06:13,474 --> 00:06:16,308 There is no argument in the fact that 98 00:06:16,308 --> 00:06:19,885 all the resources of the Earth belong to everybody. 99 00:06:19,885 --> 00:06:23,036 That's real clear. They can't alter that. 100 00:06:23,036 --> 00:06:28,114 And all of the nation will eventually evolve the language 101 00:06:28,114 --> 00:06:31,177 that's not subject to interpretation. 102 00:06:31,177 --> 00:06:33,725 That's absolutely necessary. 103 00:06:33,725 --> 00:06:36,016 How people of the future will be different from us? 104 00:06:36,016 --> 00:06:41,062 Well, they appear to be listening to other people 105 00:06:41,062 --> 00:06:45,028 and paying attention to them instead of arguing. 106 00:06:45,028 --> 00:06:48,102 They will learn how to share ideas 107 00:06:48,102 --> 00:06:51,268 and ask a person how much they know about electricity. 108 00:06:51,268 --> 00:06:52,982 If they know little about it 109 00:06:52,982 --> 00:06:58,331 then one well informed in electricity will deliver information. 110 00:06:58,331 --> 00:07:02,754 And then when a person says: "What about climate and climate change?" 111 00:07:02,754 --> 00:07:05,451 There'll be people that are climatologist. 112 00:07:05,451 --> 00:07:10,594 They will talk to people about climate and climate change, how it works, 113 00:07:10,594 --> 00:07:14,697 and how it affects the growth of food and all that sort of things. 114 00:07:14,697 --> 00:07:17,085 What I like to see? 115 00:07:17,085 --> 00:07:19,988 I would like to see groups of people 116 00:07:19,988 --> 00:07:23,622 read the book "The Best That Money Can't Buy" 117 00:07:23,622 --> 00:07:26,777 at meetings, chapter by chapter. 118 00:07:26,777 --> 00:07:29,897 So that people understand each chapter. 119 00:07:29,897 --> 00:07:32,685 So they discuss it up and back. 120 00:07:32,685 --> 00:07:35,098 I like to see that as the instruction manual 121 00:07:35,098 --> 00:07:38,091 for understanding The Venus Project. 122 00:07:38,091 --> 00:07:43,645 And those that understand that best will tell them 123 00:07:43,645 --> 00:07:50,182 reinterpreting what they don't understand to something they do understand. 124 00:07:50,182 --> 00:07:54,502 Thanks for the answers.
