Do you think that a resorce based economy will awaken humanity spiritually and allow us to become more?
liberated spiritually and creative and flourish more.
It’s useless to criticize the culture without providing alternatives. The Venus Project proposes plans for social change that work toward a peaceful and sustainable global civilization. It outlines an alternative social design where human rights are not just paper proclamations, but a way of life. The Venus Project has a vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know to achieve a sustainable world civilization. It calls for a scientific redesign of our culture in which war, poverty, hunger, debt, and unnecessary human, suffering are viewed as not only avoidable, but unacceptable. Anything less will result in a disastrous continuation of the problems inherent in today’s world.
Simply stated, a resource-based economy focuses on resources rather than money, and provides an equitable distribution thereof in a humane and efficient manner. It is a system in which goods and services are available without the use of money, credit, barter, debt, or servitude.
The first objective is to eliminate scarcity. A resource-based economy overcomes scarcity by using renewable sources of energy, plus computerized automated manufacturing and inventory. It would design safe energy-efficient cities with advanced transportation systems, and would provide universal health care and more relevant education.
The aim of this new social design is to encourage an incentive system based on human and environmental concerns, and to avoid the shallow and self-centered goals of individual wealth, property, and power. These new incentives would help people evolve self-fulfillment and creativity, both materially and spiritually.

I think the liberated spirituality will naturally evolve a resource based economy. You can’t have change without a change of mind and heart first.
Every major revolution or shift in human evolution was preceded by a paradigm shift in thinking first.

I have seen and read Jacque Fresco’s "vision of the future" and i’m sorry, but people today cannot imagine the world without value, or money. This resource based economy might be possible only if our current system fails. I don’t see this happening within our lifetime, but I can hope. Imagine a world where poverty, crime, power, suffering were unnecessary. A future like this is only a dream within a dream.

I smell a rat.
When ancient Rome elected the Decemvirs to codify Roman Law into twelve tables of law, they achieved an effective control economy.
At the same time they legislated injustices that persisted in the same rigid system for hundreds of years.
And when the Decemvir’s came time to retire and let Rome run itself, they decided they liked being in power too much and became a dictatorship that it took years and lots of bloodshed to depose.
Wait a second! That’s EXACTLY what happened to France during the Revolution! And to Russian under Stalin! And to China under Mao!
Do you suppose that centralized reform efforts ALL suffer from that fatal flaw maybe?
Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. There is NO WAY any sensible person would let your conspiracy-obsessed anti-corporation hot-nutwhacks into power even for a SECOND. And any public that did so would have blood on their hands.
Learn some politics and economics and history then ask real questions about utopia, LoL!
