My name is Yan, I use the nick name Rabbane in the virtual world
-
It's a silly thing, but...well
-
I am in "the movement" I think since November or December 2009
-
I would say just after Zeitgeist Addendum came out
-
at the beginning I was watching everything and trying to see what was all that about
-
because to be honest I thought it was an idea so magnificent that it made me doubt
-
so I looked for the error in it, and then I understood that really
-
it was something we were all trying to do together and searching for the best posible solution
-
for our planet earth.
-
ok
-
How did you join the movement? set it up? And then why do you support the resources based economy?
-
And also, rephrase the question.
-
can you repeat please? the questions?
-
well, let me see.
-
I started collaborating with the movement here in Spain to....
-
An the beginning...I was atempting to give...sorry, I am talking about another thing, I realise now
-
I was talking about the next question I think
-
Ok, I will restart.
-
I'm in the movement because I belive that it is the most accurated aproach for the human kind
-
and for everything in the planet earth.
-
I belive the future of our planet doesn't just depend on ourselves
-
but it depends on us what we will do with our specie, the humans,
-
and in that sense we have little options at the point we are now.
-
One is to keep going as we are and for sure we will screw it up
-
and the other is starting to be more self-critical, trying to find the way we can work better,
-
and in this sense, The Zeitgeist Movement proposes the use of the scientific method
-
to solve the social issues and I belive that it is the best way, because traditionally
-
the philosophy have been looking for the more adequate way of living for the human beings
-
the best way to be happy
-
but really since the scientific method started to be used
-
nothing have been so productive and constructive than the contribution that the science and the tecnology made
-
to the welfare of everyone, and what it might give us in the future in terms of sustainability
-
and when it comes to evolve as an species to a new level
-
to a more civilized culture, or maybe in wich WE start to be civilized.
-
Yes, I forgot, I think I didnt talk about the resources based economic...
-
what you said is ok.
-
Next, history of the movement. Present, future.
-
in Spain...
-
give me, half minute to think about it...
-
ok
-
The Movement here in Spain started just after the first Z Day
-
That was in March 2009 I think
-
...yes, 2009
-
The people started to come together in different cities, mainly here in Valencia
-
I have a funny anecdot of that day, that March the 15th 2009, because in the university I was working at
-
I tryed to make a screening of Zeitgeist Addendum
-
And sadly no one came, maybe because it was hard to acces the place
-
as you needed to have a university ID
-
And what I realized afterwards was that in the same city more people organized other ones
-
like one in the beach. In wich Victor was, who at the end became the national coordinator
-
I don't know if you got to interview him but it would be interesting
-
Also there was an screening of the documentary in a place called Radiocity
-
where we keep on going as the owners agree the ideas of the movement
-
so that was how the Valencias chapter was born, that step by step got conected with the one in Barcelona,
-
the Mallorcas chapter, the one from Madrid came out a bit later
-
and honestly it has been very spontaneous and it grew in a way
-
let's say not continuously but with phases, where there were lots of people
-
others where it looked like it was coming to an end but suddenly it regrew with a new story
-
and new people started to join, and I think right now we are creating what it's supossed to be
-
wich is to create a new tendency, a new train of thought, and in that direction I think we are heading the right way.
-
The situation of Spain right now.
-
The situation right now in Spain as in most countries in the world is dedent
-
the monetary system is collapsing, it's breaking apart in front or us
-
We truly are a generation able to see how a system that has beeing runing for centuries
-
trying to hold on, abusing of the planet Earth in an unsustainable way
-
and finally, It looks like due to his own weight is falling and there is no much more to do about it
-
really if we see other countries in the world, we can see that the system for them fell long ago
-
maybe it never worked, and they have been victims of our way of living
-
and the way the economic system was organized in the world.
-
So, in that sense I think the proposal We make with the RBE is basic and everyone should know it
-
because it is really the best option we got to leave behind an obsolete monetary system
-
that will only give us misfortunes and finally being able to advance
-
and start creating a new reality.
-
So how do you see this new reality coming to live?
-
The transition you mean?
-
Well, the transition is always a very controversial subject
-
I guess each one tends to make more focus in one thing or another,
-
me, personally I belive it won't be a winning path
-
I'm optimistic, I think the change will come
-
That the RBE or something similar will finaly take place as a logical thing
-
but it wont be one sigle path, We will get there in many different ways
-
It will be all sort of strategies which at the end will converge in the advances we are waiting for.
-
I belive the common point is the intelligent way of aplying the tecnologies
-
right now we see the tecnologies as another element of consumption
-
but the tecnology really is what it can make us advance as a society
-
we can see it happening with the internet now, and we will see it from there growing
-
and we will keep on constructing through that path and I think this kind of "social tecnologies"
-
are the ones that propel the change in many ways, not just one.
-
we got to take many aproches, and even if TZM centers in one sigle path, maybe there will be people
-
that even without knowing the movement are pushing to the same direction, and this is important to keep in mind,
-
trying always to cooperate as much as possible.
-
A message to the world...
-
Ill take half minute more, I havn't thought about it...
-
ok
-
The humanity is an ill organism, this is ovbious, and ourselves as cells can become a part of the desease
-
or try to heal this organ, the human kind all over the planet, so it's your decision.
-
again? without the intro?
-
ah! the car, yes...
-
I will try to do it again.
-
ok, I don't remember how did I started
-
ok
-
The human kind is an ill organism, and we, the humans, each one is like a cell
-
able to decide if we want to perpetuate this desease or if we want to help solving it, and finally heal, and heal the planet.
-
So, is your decision.
