One of them is the World Lecture Tour of The Venus Project which will be an on-going tour around the world.

World Lecture Tour

Jacque Fresco and Roxanne Meadows will be starting a World Lecture Tour in 2010, right after Zday.

The reason for this tour is essentially to spread the word about the Venus Project and the Zeitgeist Movement. The success of the world tour will also help them maintain and work from the research center in Venus, Florida.

The Venus Project envisions a global civilization where the methods of science and technology are applied with human and environmental concern so as to secure, protect, and encourage a more humane world for all people.

Jacque and Roxanne will present the redesign or our culture offering a possible way out of our recurring cycles of boom and recession, famine, poverty, a declining environment, and territorial conflicts where peace is merely the interval between wars.

The lectures are a challenge to all people to work toward a society in which all the world’s resources become the common heritage of all the world’s people in a resource-based economy.

The Venus Project is an organization offering feasible plans for social change one that could attain a peaceful and sustainable global civilization.

In 2009, we had over 450 events in over 70 countries. These events were well documented by news agencies across the world, including the New York Times in America. An archive list of these events can be found here.

A Zeitgeist Day Event can take many forms, ranging from a simple showing of DVD media like Zeitgeist: Addendum to prerecorded lectures by Meadows, Joseph or Fresco;  to interactive question-and-answer events with Chapter Organizers in various regions, giving their own unique presentations.

While it is not required to be in a regional Zeitgeist Movement Chapter to have an event, it is recommended. To find a Chapter in your area, please check here. Generally speaking, we encourage each Chapter to help organize events in their region. This is not a requirement, however.

To acquire tickets for the Main Event in New York City please check here

There are several events listed so far around the world. The picture below shows the current events status:

What It Means To Be Human

May 12th, 2009

It’s always been difficult to discuss the ideas of The Venus Project because it’s hard for most people to see beyond their present understandings and beliefs about “the way the world is”, “the way people are”, and so on.

This is a short paragraph from Jacque about the possible future of humanity in a society where our living conditions, our environment are extremely different…

The greatest lesson we might learn could be that human beings free of debt, insecurity, and fear become much more amiable.

No one will be out to sell anyone anything or to deprive another of possessions or money. In a resource-based economy, the basis for unhealthy human aggression will be outgrown. People will no longer be burdened by the nagging concerns that consume so much of our attention, such as mortgages, health care costs, fire insurance, economic recession, the loss of jobs, recession, depression, and taxes.

With the elimination of these burdens and the removal of the conditions that create feelings of envy, greed, and competition, our lives would be far more meaningful. For the first time we may begin to know what it means to be human.

As we enhance the lives of others, protect our environment, and work toward abundance, all our lives can become richer and more secure. If these values were put into practice, it would enable all of us to achieve a much higher standard of living within a relatively short period of time; a standard of living that would be continuously improved.

People would be free to pursue whatever constructive endeavor they chose without the economic pressures, restraints, and taxation that are inherent in the monetary system. By constructive endeavor, we mean anything that enhances the lives of the individual and others.

When education and resources are available to all without a price tag, there will be no limit to human potential. With these major alterations, people would eventually live longer, more meaningful and healthier lives. The measure of success would be the fulfillment of one’s individual pursuits rather than the acquisition of wealth, property, and power.
