Jacque Fresco: Apply the Methods of Science to the Social System!
http://www.singularityweblog.com/jacque-fresco-the-venus-project/
Jacque Fresco is a futurist, inventor, social engineer, visionary and technician, best known for the Venus Project.
In his Future By Design documentary about Fresco's life and ideas, Emmy winning filmmaker William Gazecki called the 97-year-old Jacque "a modern day Da Vinci." Others have called him "a new Buckminster Fuller."
Now, I have to admit that I really like Jacque as a person -- he just seems to have a unique combination of wisdom, life experience, sense of humor and personal humility. I also admire his multi-disciplinary accomplishments and his seemingly never-ending enthusiasm and scientific curiosity. This, however, doesn't mean that I agree with him on everything that he says or proposes, and you would see a few of those moments during our 72 minute interview. At any rate, best thing you can do is to watch the interview in full, read Jacque's book -- The Best That Money Can't Buy, and judge for yourself.
During my conversation with Jacque Fresco we cover a variety of interesting topics such as: how he sees himself; scarcity and money as the root of all evil; the Venus Project; the need for unambiguous language; why he claims that most people are "unsane"; whether philosophers are bullshitters; the clash of civilizations and the nation state; education and the scientific method; the modern culture of bread and spectacles; resource based economy; Ray Kurzweil, artificial intelligence and the technological singularity; the Zeitgeist movement; Ayn Rand and objectivism; death and cryonics...
My favorite quote that I will take away from this conversation with Jacque is: "Study the meaning of science and apply its methods to the social system!"
