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