The question is not whether there is intelligent life out there, the question is, whether there is intelligent life down here. As long as you have war, police, prisons, crime, you are in the early stages of civilization.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

We're running into a lot of n...

We're running into a lot of new problems today because of what we emphasize in this culture. The word 'success' to the average person means earning a lot of money and having a home, two cars, children in college. Success to me is entirely different to what success is to the average person. Success is being a successful human being in terms of pursuing what you believe in. If you believe in making paintings, writing poetry, writing music. If this is what you really want, you're successful to yourself. But to be successful to your culture means to sell yourself short of what you really want

To be human is to care for your fellow human beings and protecting the environment.

Many people feel that we need the rule of law to eliminate our problems. But is it more laws that we need? We have many laws - thousands upon thousands of them - but they are constantly being broken.

In order to design a future of positive change, we must first become expert at changing our minds.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

While we cannot predict the f...

While we cannot predict the future, we will most surely live it. Every action and decision we take - or don't - ripples into the future. For the first time, we have the capability, the technology, and the knowledge to direct those ripples.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

Despite advances achieved thr...

Despite advances achieved through objective scientific investigation, and the breaking down of long-standing fears and superstitions, the world is still not a reasonable place. Many attempts to make it so have failed because of selfish individual and national interests.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

Earth is abundant with plenti...

Earth is abundant with plentiful resources. Our practice of rationing resources through monetary control is no longer relevant and is counter-productive to our survival.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

Our leaders pay lip service to the freedoms that democracy provides while actually supporting an economic structure that imprisons its citizens under more and more debt.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

Although many of us consider ...

Although many of us consider ourselves forward-thinkers, we still cling tenaciously to the old values of the monetary system. We accept, without sufficient consideration, a system that breeds inefficiencies and actually encourages the creation of shortages.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

If we really wish to put an e...

If we really wish to put an end to our ongoing international and social problems we must eventually declare Earth and all of its resources as the common heritage of all the world's people.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

I don't believe in the Great ...

I don't believe in the Great Man theory of science or history. There are no great men, just men standing on the shoulders of other men and what they have done.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

I would like to see an end to...

I would like to see an end to war, poverty, and unnecessary human suffering. But I can't see it in a monetary-based system where the richest nations control most of the world's resources.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

Even if the most ethical peop...

Even if the most ethical people were elected to high position and we ran out of resources, there would still be lying, cheating, stealing, and corruption. It is not ethical people that are needed but rather a way of intelligently managing the Earth's resources for everyone's well-being.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

To prepare for the future, we must be willing to test new concepts. This means we must acquire enough information to evaluate these concepts and not be like travelers in a foreign land who compare everything with their own hometown.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

Our dominant values that emphasize competition and scarcity limit continued progress.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

With the observable fact that scientific knowledge makes our lives better when applied with concern for human welfare and environmental protection, there is no question that science and technology can produce abundance so that no one has to go without.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

Many events in our lives are ...

Many events in our lives are the result of things beyond our control. While it is comforting to think, 'I'm in charge,' in truth, most changes effected by individuals are very limited in scope.

The future is fluid. Each act, each decision, and each development creates new possibilities and eliminates others. The future is ours to direct.

Jacque Fresco 186 quotes

If our system continues without modification involving environmental and social concern, we will face an economic and social breakdown of our outdated monetary and political system.
