Who are you and what are you doing within the Zeitgeist Movement (TZM) ?
My name is Pierre and I'm the coordinator of the French documentation division for a shot while.
Can you explain what does it mean ?
I'm a new member of the documentation division and I have the aim to create a documentation platform
wich help people to access and share easily informations.
How did you join the movement ? Why ? And why did you support the movment and the Resource Based Economy (RBE) ?
Like most people, I watched the Zeitgeist movies and I was very interested because
the movies have a meaning for me. I try to find out if the movement existed in a local scale
and I saw some new stuffs ermerging.
Quickly, I felt concerned so I continued to follow meetings about the development of the local section
and it was great.
That is about how I joined the movement. (What was the others questions ?)
Why support a Ressources Based Economy ?
Blabla
Still blabla
Stuff about eat and moving a car (?)
I support the RBE... Wait, I will ask you again the question.
Why do you support a RBE ?
I support a RBE because the main goal of this economical system is to satisfy the needs of people.
In opposite to our actual system which is creat on profits.
And for me, to give to people what they need is far more important than make money.
Can you talk about TZM in France, the main success and difficulties ?
I don't know if it's a specificity of France but there is not many members because of the low seniority of the movement.
Not all of us are really concerned so there is not many events but I think things are changing now.
I'm not pessimistic about the futur of the movement. More we are concerned more we can gather people.
What is the future of TZM in France ?
I have no idea about this.
I know there is many ideas which are developing as a guide to help people who wants to make lectures.
But projects are specifics to every sections of the movement so I can't talk about everything.
And as I said, for me, I'm working on the documentation project to facilitate access to information.
Tell us what are the main politicals and economicals subjects in France ?
Unlike to others european countries where the economical situation is really unstable -which helps people to express their discontent- in France
we are in a "good" situation. People are not completely miserable. But I think there will be some changements soon because the european economy begins to shake.
So, if the economy begins to degrade, maybe a lot of people will go in the street.
I hope I answered to the question.
How do you imagine the transition into a RBE ?
From my point of view, I don't think the transition is... How can I explain ?
I think the transition is the final goal. What we want is not impose to people a new system. It's develop ideas and technics which
can help people to open up. So, the RBE is an ideal but I think it's not a good idea to stay focus on it.
It's better to work on the process to develop the society and the direction we want to follow.
It may seems spiritual but I think the way is often more important that the goal.
If we look carefully, the RBE is not really about the final goal but about the process we will use to obtain a more humanistic society.
What is the message you want to transmit to other people ?
The message I want to transmit to people is that I think the more important is to gather people around ideas and not separate them. Thus, we can work together on our common goal : live in harmony on this planet to become in high spirits.
The goal, even for Zeitgeist members, is not to convert people to join TZM but to explain that we are all connected with the earth and with other people.
The aim is to gather than separate.
My message is that the important is to gather, not separate.
