Wink Re: The Future and Beyond by Jacque Fresco

Here's a link to Future by Design:

Well, I guess the existance of a "middle class" has given us the ability to say, "Wait just a minute..." Otherwise, I think the poor are assaulted by cultural propaganda that says, "You are in this economic position because you deserve to be there. You need to WORK HARDER."

BS, Bs, bs, bs.....

Well, now it's all falling apart and I think that the wealthy are more afraid than anyone else. I just gauge what it would mean to me if the couple of bills in my pocket had no worth, versus what it would mean to Bill Gates when his stocks and cd's amount to NOTHING. They will need all the compassion we can muster for them.

Here we go....

In more advanced and humane systems of education people would acquire this new type of value system. They would also realize the many advantages of cooperation rather than competition. In a society without vested interest it would be impossible to harness the talents of scientists and technicians to engage in weapons research or any other socially hostile endeavor. We call this approach "functional morality." This newer, more humane, and more productive approach would advocate finding non-military solutions to international differences. This calls for a global view, which would be a considerable improvement over narrow national and self-interests. We could use knowledge and information as tools that would be surrendered when evidence of more appropriate methods are introduced.

That's the ticket.

Great Love,
