Might work for the aimless identity-pureed minority of....whatever the hell the youngest Boomers and majority of Gen Xers spawned, but it won't fly for the rest of us. I don't completely know about you guys, but "existing" isn't a valid answer to "What's in it for me?" I need something more tangible for my time and effort than pseudo-poetic gibberish like that.
They way they put it out there in the open for everyone to see, makes it seem like they already feel its 'check mate'. As though there is nothing anyone can do.
I thought the same thing (if these were indeed large posters in London) - what do they expect would be the reaction?
Did they think this message was going to go over well? I think they don't give a sh..
N: What posters?
A Global Holistic Solution: Resource Based Economy
Global problems faced by mankind today are impacting individuals and nations rapidly. Climate change, famine, war, epidemics of deadly diseases and environmental pollution contribute to the long list of global challenges we, as humans, need to promptly address before an eventual catastrophe swiftly becomes inevitable.
Regardless of political philosophy, religious beliefs, or social customs, all socio-economic systems ultimately depend upon natural resources, such as clean air and water, arable land, and the necessary technology and personnel to maintain a high standard of living.
Modern society has access to highly advanced technologies and can make available food, clothing, housing, medical care, a relevant educational system, and develop a limitless supply of renewable, non-contaminating energy such as geothermal, solar, wind and tidal.
It is now possible to have everyone on Earth enjoy a very high standard of living with all of the amenities that a prosperous civilization can provide. This can be accomplished through the intelligent and humane application of science and technology.
Individuals and interest groups are governed by laws that demand maximum profit where possible. These laws are inherent in the monetary system prevalent in most countries today – capitalism. The basic principles of capitalism demand exponential growth at all cost causing financial cataclysms such as the 1929s Great Depression in the United States and the recent financial crisis of 2007-08.
We are separated by borders and beliefs which make it impossible for us to arrive at relevant solutions while being divided ideologically. Most of our problems today are technical but we are still looking for solutions through political means. We need to accept that eliminating these global threats requires the employment of methodologies rather than personal opinions.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
~ Albert Einstein
The Venus Project proposes a holistic approach with a global socio-economic system that utilizes the most current technological and scientific advances to provide the highest possible living standard for all people on Earth. The proposed system is called Resource Based Economy. The term and meaning was coined by Jacque Fresco, the founder of The Venus Project.

Back to my first two points, what is the social distancing all about? Irrespective of it being for the virus.
I think they want to break up the family unit. They don't want camaraderie, love, or happy unified families. Especially generations of them.
I don't think its coincidence that divorce rates and single parents are so prevalent now compared in the past. Its pretty sad. How often do you meet a happy unified family nowadays?

What’s with all the equality stuff that's been going on? I think there’s some plan to make everyone androgynous.
I think there are 2 agendas regarding that: 1) is race mixing. They want a world full of mutts. Perhaps genetic data proves mutts have lesser qualities statistically(?) not sure.. 2) The want more gay people.
Perhaps gay or feminine men are easier to conquer/control (?) since they can't fight back as well from a physical and anger/rage standpoint(?) not sure.. but gay people are definitely good from a population control standpoint, And from an anti-family standpoint.

..because your home was deemed to be in a zone they labelled uninhabitable. Aren’t there zones coming? There’s a map on that someplace.
Yeah I saw something about that on another forum. Supposedly they will try to cordon off large sections of the US as something like nature preserves where even people cannot live and herd everyone into major cities.

You cannot simply "keep" people and expect them to be happy like a bunch of cows.
You're still promoting your myth of the benevolent elite as if capitalism didn't need to conquer continents and enslave people for profits. History is a bitch, innit?
Researchers will once again partner with GiveDirectly, an international NGO that makes unconditional cash transfers to poor households in developing countries. In the past, IPA partnered with GiveDirectly to evaluate an unconditional cash transfer program in Rarieda, Kenya. Researchers found that the program had significant welfare-improving impacts, both economically and psychologically, for transfer recipients.
The positive results from that and other unconditional cash transfer evaluations have influenced global development priorities. This UBI evaluation will contribute to the ongoing conversation.
