0:00:00.648,0:00:05.393 - Who are you? What do you do in the movement? Tell us a bit... 0:00:05.393,0:00:08.352 - You have to talk a bit louder, because if not, I don't... 0:00:08.352,0:00:11.347 - Just introduce yourself and... 0:00:11.347,0:00:20.001 - My name is Ezio Marano and I have been in this movement for about 4 months 0:00:20.233,0:00:26.591 and I see that I'm getting more and more involved with it because... 0:00:26.606,0:00:30.219 it was kind of what I had always thought, 0:00:30.342,0:00:34.976 what I had always intended as a type of society. 0:00:34.991,0:00:44.411 I've always felt very strongly that there was something wrong in this society. 0:00:44.459,0:00:53.514 But not because... I don't know... (here I have to cut it...) 0:00:54.083,0:00:59.736 I always thought there was something wrong with this society 0:00:59.751,0:01:05.387 due to the fact that everything had a price, 0:01:05.387,0:01:11.289 everything was exchanged for something else, 0:01:11.289,0:01:14.789 but in contrast to this, I have seen that 0:01:14.789,0:01:18.708 there are many people who do volunteer work, 0:01:18.708,0:01:22.526 I myself feel much more committed when I do something as a favor to someone 0:01:22.526,0:01:28.594 rather than doing it for a pay, for a remuneration. 0:01:28.594,0:01:39.381 So I think that to live according to more user friendly rules 0:01:39.381,0:01:47.949 would be a step much more (don't know how to say it...) 0:01:47.949,0:01:56.058 widening up for humanity. 0:01:56.058,0:01:59.817 (I can't manage to get anything right! Oh! 0:01:59.817,0:02:04.237 I can't manage to get anything right! 0:02:04.237,0:02:09.893 when I'm at home I'm much more inspired!) 0:02:09.893,0:02:15.643 - How do you see the political, economic and social issues in Italy? 0:02:15.643,0:02:19.048 - Ah ... This is quite different! 0:02:19.048,0:02:24.027 The situation I see here in Italy 0:02:24.027,0:02:29.400 is quite bad, as I have always seen it: 0:02:29.400,0:02:32.848 in the sense that, before there were many parties 0:02:32.848,0:02:35.794 and everyone was looking to further his own cause, 0:02:35.794,0:02:41.845 now they split into two or three major factions, however, 0:02:41.845,0:02:44.671 it's very well understood, it is blatant 0:02:44.671,0:02:50.264 that all they do is staged up to make us... 0:02:50.264,0:02:54.057 for us to choose from among the things that 0:02:54.057,0:02:58.421 someone else has probably already chosen for us. 0:02:58.421,0:03:08.277 And this, after a while clutters your life. It gets bothering! 0:03:08.277,0:03:11.235 And it is primarily for this reason that 0:03:11.235,0:03:15.939 I do not see a solution through, nor the politicians, 0:03:15.939,0:03:21.043 nor the economy, because the economy today is based on 0:03:21.043,0:03:25.657 money which is a dummy value. 0:03:25.657,0:03:29.657 Strangely they say it's the most real thing around, 0:03:29.657,0:03:34.397 while actually we never know how much we have of it, 0:03:34.397,0:03:37.495 we never know how much we go into debt, 0:03:37.495,0:03:40.847 we never know with "whom" we get into debt, 0:03:40.847,0:03:47.692 so... 0:03:47.692,0:03:51.661 so it becomes increasingly difficult to keep after this pace, 0:03:51.661,0:03:57.532 to keep after a thought that gets... proposed, 0:03:57.532,0:04:02.156 but more than that proposed, served up, I would say!... 0:04:02.156,0:04:08.364 and becomes less and less convincing. 0:04:08.364,0:04:11.739 While on the other hand, what I have found good in the 0:04:11.739,0:04:19.704 Zeitgeist Movement is precisely the Resource Based Economy. 0:04:19.704,0:04:26.157 We have resources on the planet, which we used 0:04:26.157,0:04:32.329 in a completely desecrated and so immoderate way, 0:04:32.329,0:04:37.526 without paying attention, nor how much we used of them, 0:04:37.526,0:04:42.126 nor how and where to dispose of them after using them. 0:04:42.126,0:04:47.139 There is such a terrible misuse of earthly resources... 0:04:47.139,0:04:53.215 that makes many alarm bells begins to ring. 0:04:53.215,0:04:58.622 So, we should make a wise use of resources, 0:04:58.622,0:05:03.981 recycling everything in order to have abbundance for everyone, 0:05:03.981,0:05:07.852 as these resources actually exist, 0:05:07.852,0:05:10.246 and there is no need to make 0:05:10.246,0:05:15.375 20 ~ 30,000 people starving every day around the world, 0:05:15.375,0:05:20.878 just to accumulate money that 0:05:20.878,0:05:28.105 they will have almost certainly no time to spend. 0:05:28.105,0:05:33.694 So, I think that the economic approach of the Zeitgeist Movement 0:05:33.694,0:05:36.136 is the most suitable, at present, 0:05:36.136,0:05:43.286 to give a concrete answer to the economy today. 0:05:43.286,0:05:47.137 - What message would you give to the world? 0:05:47.137,0:05:50.643 - The message that I would give the world is 0:05:50.643,0:06:09.611 to use any means to be able to disentangle initially 0:06:09.611,0:06:15.879 from the slavery of today's economic model, based on monetarism. 0:06:15.879,0:06:20.489 This is the most important first step we need to do. 0:06:20.489,0:06:24.536 It will... Let's make clear that to many people, this will cost a lot! 0:06:24.536,0:06:31.598 It will mean completely change their view of life, 0:06:31.598,0:06:33.964 but in the long run they'll realize that 0:06:33.964,0:06:36.443 they will have in return much more than they give, 0:06:36.443,0:06:38.785 like everyone else, for that matter, 0:06:38.785,0:06:40.954 I think this is what will happen! 0:06:40.954,0:06:43.999 The shift will be difficult because we do not know 0:06:43.999,0:06:50.747 if we get something back in return for such a radical change. 0:06:50.747,0:06:54.747 But actually my thought is that we all will have great benefits from it.
