The Venus Project World Lecture Tour
Monday 6th April - For Immediate release
The Venus
Project World Lecture Tour
It is common in our mass-media to read and to hear commentators talk about the number of social problems that face us today, such as global warming, destruction of Earth's environment, unemployment, crime, violence, poverty, hunger, and the population explosion. Yet, how often do we hear of workable plans for alleviating many of these social problems? It is relatively simple for people to criticize society, however it's much more difficult to identify and implement plans to resolve the problems.
The Venus Project is a veritable
blue-print for the genesis of a new world civilization, one
that is based on human concern and environmental
reclamation.
The plans for The Venus Project offer
society a broader spectrum of choices based on the
scientific possibilities directed toward a new era of peace
and sustainability for all. Through the implementation of a
resource-based economy, and a multitude of innovative and
environmentally friendly technologies directly applied to
the social system, The Venus Project proposals will
dramatically reduce crime, poverty, hunger, homelessness,
and many other pressing problems that are common throughout
the world today.
One of the cornerstones of the organization's findings is the fact that many of the dysfunctional behaviors of today's society stem directly from the dehumanizing environment of a monetary system. In addition, automation has resulted in the technological replacement of human labor by machines and eventually most people will not have the purchasing power to buy the goods and services turned out.
The Venus Project proposes a social system in which automation and technology would be intelligently integrated into an overall social design where the primary function would be to maximize the quality of life rather than profits. This project also introduces a set of workable and practical values.
This is in perfect accord with the spiritual aspects and ideals found in most religions throughout the world. What sets The Venus Project apart, however, is that it proposes to translate these ideals into a working reality.
