"Some people say we are what we eat. Well, Hi**er was a vegetarian, but he was a jackass in many ways. I'm not too interested in people eating good healthy food. I am more interested in what goes into their heads than their guts. With good food you can build a big army and a good army and slaughter thousands of people. With healthy food you can improve eyesight. For what end? I'm asking. What is the end goal? What is it that society really wants? I don't think they know. They want things to remain as they are if they are doing well in that society. If they are not doing well, they want to see change. But if you ask them what kind of change do they want, "Well, I want a steady job for people." "You mean no more automation? What do you mean by steady jobs for people? That the coachmen always sit in the back of the coach and use horses? That the automobile coming in will travel faster and farther and do away with the horseshoes and all that sort of thing?" "Yes, that's what I mean." The future is always changing and always rendering certain professions obsolete. We no longer have many people who shoe horses except in the park where you ride horses. If you try to keep things as they are, then I would say you have no concern for the future."

From the book The Best That Money Can't Buy:

“The challenge all cultures now face in this technological age, some more than others, is to provide a smooth transition toward a new way of thinking about ourselves, the environment and the management of natural resources.
It is now mandatory that all nations engage in the joint venture of planning on a global scale for new alternatives with emphasis on the nature of our social arrangements. This is our only option if we are to avoid a decline of the civilized world. If humankind is to experience mutual prosperity, universal access to resources is essential.”

- Jacque Fresco

As the human body functions as a whole integrated system, so must the world eventually operate as one.

Carry forward what is constructive.
Discard what is obsolete.
Recognize that progress depends on transfer from the old to the new.

What of Fresco's thinking remains useful?
What predictions still hold?
What designs still challenge us to think beyond the status quo?

While our often senseless forays into brutality and violence continue—demonstrating how far we remain from being truly civilized—more people are beginning to recognize the need for a fundamentally different way of managing technology, resources, and human relationships.

This growing awareness is encouraging, as it reflects a willingness to question existing systems. However, many stop short of exploring what viable alternatives might look like.

We encourage you to investigate the work of Jacque Fresco to gain insight into possible future scenarios and more effective approaches to organizing society.

Fresco dedicated his life to studying how environment, technology, and social systems shape human behavior, proposing a scientific approach to designing a more sustainable and humane civilization.

His ideas continue to inspire ongoing discussion about systems thinking, global cooperation, and the future of society.

This month marks 110 years since the birth of Jacque Fresco.

Building Situational Awareness #1: Earth Systems and Decisions

Recent research on Global Tipping Points conceptualizes Earth as an interconnected system characterized by thresholds. As global temperatures increase, certain changes may transition from gradual to self-reinforcing due to feedback mechanisms. This perspective implies a reduced margin for error as anthropogenic pressures intensify and biophysical constraints become increasingly obvious.

Jacque Fresco’s Resource Based Economy emerges as a testable framework that grounds decision-making in biophysical realities, including resource flows, regeneration rates, and human ingenuity, all within Earth's carrying capacity.

Do wars protect populations or preserve economic and political arrangements?

As tensions rise due to the Israel-US war on Iran, it’s a reminder that conflict doesn’t emerge in isolation — it grows from political, economic, and strategic systems built on competition and power.

War isn’t inevitable — it’s a symptom of how our current system is structured.
This video with Jacque Fresco challenges the assumption that war is “just human nature” and points instead to the way our global structures are designed.

If we can design cities, technology and infrastructure — we can redesign the systems that keep producing conflict.

These ideas give us a vision for how that future can look.

85 seconds to midnight — that’s the new Doomsday Clock reading. It’s a stark reminder that tinkering isn’t enough: our current systems are built on competition, nationalism, and short-term gain, and they’re driving us closer to real catastrophe. The Venus Project’s holistic, resource based approach offers a pathway out of that cycle.
