We have all heard lectures that criticize the present state of affairs. They speak of social problems like lawlessness, poverty, racial tension, and divorce. But how many of us can recall any of these lectures offering creative solutions to these problems? Mr. Fresco's presentations are a serious attempt to illuminate causes and outline a wide range of constructive alternatives. He does this by describing a redesign of our culture, which emphasizes the intelligent use of science and technology to enhance the lives of all, while also protecting our environment. His subjects range from "New Dimensions in Human Stupidity" to "Imagineering The Future." A video often accompanies the lectures in which his ideas are vividly brought to life through animated models, illustrations, and computer animation. His lecture technique enables uninformed audiences to grasp the significance of complex social and technical innovations. He speaks dramatically and brilliantly about the urgent transitional problems facing contemporary society. His audiences find their attention focused intensely, and they closely follow his presentation from beginning to end. Mr. Fresco's lectures are consistently praised and enthusiastically received. Jacque Fresco is the founder of Sociocyberneering, Inc., now known as The Venus Project. With his associate Roxanne Meadows, he has designed and built the entire twenty-five acre research facility. The function of this project is to find and initiate solutions to the major problems that confront the world today. Television and magazine coverage of the project has been worldwide.
