The waiting is over. Paradise or Oblivion is out. www.youtube.com... hit youtube less than a week ago but it's already gone
viral. Although The Venus Project itself is several years old, and the idea has probably existed forever, now we need it more than ever. So this is an
experimental thread to collect ideas of how to make it happen, criticism is also welcome, we need to identify possible problems and possible solutions
if we are to make this work. I know having to actually work on solutions for ourselves is something we're not used to in todays nanny states and
police states where govs and councils do all the "thinking" for us, but the corrupt central power has to be broken at some point, and this project
seems to be our chance. Is it a sudden transformation we need? Or a gradual and continuous but in the end radical changing of the system? How can it
work? What must we as individuals do as our bit? Indeed, what CAN we do? Ideas please.
I heard about this guy in a documentary called Designing the Future. His ideas are smart and practical, but practicality usually means less money for
someone in the short term. For that reason, I don't see a lot of his ideas coming to light any time soon, especially in the energy area. In the
long term though I bet most of his ideas become a reality.
Yeah, I heard about The Venus Project last year sometimes. Thanks for posting the video, I wouldnt have know it came out. Thanks!
And imo, i think the Venus Project is completely in our grasp, we all just have to want it. And that is a good question, OP; What CAN we do? What can
WE do?
