1st: Why would I be using compost for anything? If I were growing any manner of a garden, hydroponics are far superior.
2nd: Why would I be weaving baskets? Unless I enjoyed weaving baskets, in which case, big deal.
Instead of complaining about, "Well what about this problem or this problem?" Get off the computer and maybe go get a degree in some technical field so that perhaps you can actually SOLVE a problem.
It is easy to ask open-ended questions.
If the Zeitgeist Movement/Venus Project were NWO propaganda they would already be shoving it down our throats and telling us that its "good" for us. I have yet to see the MSM pick up any story related to it. If Fox News ever runs a story on it singing it praises then maybe we should be afraid.

I already said that for the transition the plan was to build an "experimental city." With enough people who have the technical skills necessary to solve problems the city would slowly evolve...or grow and adapt.
You do not have to force anyone to do anything. If you do not want to go to the city then don't.

Wow you did a great job dodging my questions with straw men. Where are you going to get the robots? Who is going to pay for them? Where will you mine rare earth magnets from? You say build a NEW city (the premise of 'building a city'), and then say you're going to mine current cities. It sounds like even in your experimental city stage you're already engaging in rapid entitlement behavoir.
Even if you start with one robot, where will you get all the different ores to make quality alloys? Then you need petroleum and processing plant(s) to extract the distillates to make resins and plastics. It sound like this city will reside on the most fictional bountiful tract of land, with neatly located ore deposits and petroleum fields. Also sounds like you'll all being living next door to chemical processing plants and factories. The livestock and agricultural fields on the outskirts will have oil derricks.

Answer the question of where you're going to get all the robots and materials from for your proposed city. I guess you're going to make the robot slaves grow all your food too, since apparently you don't intend to do gardening so majority of the food you eat is in your yard to save on the resource costs of everything involved in growing and getting food into your fridge.

I have a degree in electronics engineering, and still grow a large percentage of my own food.

I'm asking crucial questions into the feasibility of your utopia and it doesn't seem anyone can hardly answer any of them directly.

Didn't you watch the news a year ago during the banking fallout?
It just so happens that I have a huge thread from today filled with global government and global resource management and global currency:

I do not have all of the logistical answers for how the city would get resources, I would need to work with the people with the technical ability to solve such problems.
That is why it would be a group effort.
Are you asking me to help you figure out hwo to make your utopia work? (and YES, the entire notion is utopian) I thought PJ and JF were the geniuses who have it all figured out. You should be linking in their quotes that answer all of our tough questions.
Which has nothing to do with Zeitgeist/Venus Project...
You have just associated the two because of the use of the word "global."
Actualy, it does, because as I've been arguing the entire thread, ZM is mere NWO propaganda to divert 'truth movement' or 'freedom movement' types away from bringing down the NWO.

Bingo. They think you can just re-educate people and all the worlds problems will go away. Nice try. Look at the liberals out there worshipping Obama after 8 years of chastizing Bush worshippers for doing the same. And the ZM is a progressive movement. (In comparison: Eugenics, Soviet / Communism and even the Nazi's were all progressive movements)

dalan-
I admire your commitment to your beliefs and ideals. that's the stuff that ultimately keeps you going when things get hard. You take a lot of heat, and yet you continue to stay positive - which is going to bring you success, and benefit the world around you, more profoundly than any set of ideas about particular solutions.
the world does need structural changes, and none of us have big enough eyes to see the complete picture. more important, is that we stay optimistic by continuously generating new ideas and putting a few into action - and that we remind ourselves from time to time that we are all up against the same forces.
None of us have a complete solution. No doubt, technology will play a crucial role as our energy needs continue to expand. And who knows - maybe true abundance would have a profound effect on human relationships. I have doubts about the literal physical possibility of achieving such a system on a finite planet, but who would have predicted modern agriculture or medicine before the age of oil?
Humans are built on adaptability. That's the one things that gives me hope. Our true gift is our ability to survive in diverse environments - by being able to act back upon those environments with incredible ingenuity.
Anyhow. It's a pleasure to meet you here. I enjoy your posts - I'm glad I shut up long enough to really read them.
peace.[edit on 9-12-2009 by TrueTruth]

dalan, on another thought, don't you think that VP's approach to solve world's problems is somewhat one sided. taking the hand trick you posted earlier, we can now buy artificial limbs that function like hands without doing any surgery (see this post) but as I mentioned before, you can have sci-fi reanimator sarcophaguses and limb growing technology, but many will still die unnecessarily. You will be forced to accept some kinds of regulation or control as a solution to many human problems, the old bait and switch tactics. Say, some scientists go over the top with particular technology, people die. A Great Venus Council decides we need to stop any research in this area (just like cloning) and so it starts.
I guess my question is, how VPs science approach going to prevent a group of people from organising together, then creating a problem, provoking people's reaction and then presenting their solution as necessary evil to tackle this problem?
VP is so raw and versatile that it cane be used as part of any regime, which gives its own definition to fair distribution of resources. supporting VP as it is now can mean supporting any regime, NWO for example.

The one thing that has fueled the NWO is lack of education...more than anything we need better institutions for learning. Not to indoctrinate our children but to give them the problem solving skills necessary for cooperation.

I see training people to be noncompetitive as a far more sinister means of controlling their every whim opposed to how disgusting it already is how TPTB use competitiveness to divert us with things like sports and other tribalistic nonsense. We need to be trained to cooperate with our looming machine overlords, because tribalism in human/machine affairs would be counter-productive to the Transhumanist agenda.
