War is the supreme failure of bridging the differences between nations, according to the creator of a social model called "the Venus Project" American futurist and inventor Jacque Fresco.
Futurist and Legendary Creator Jacque Fresco travels from Florida to London to discuss The Venus Project, his candid conversation with Albert Einstein as a young boy, what happened with Peter Joseph and The Zeitgeist Movement, how the Great Depression developed his mindset, and what he would do if elected President of the United States.
The opportunity to sit down with Peter Joseph is a unique chance to capture a moment in time with one of the great thinkers of our generation. His first breakthrough film "Zeitgeist: The Movie" in 2007 was an unexpected success and he founded The Zeitgeist Movement on the back of his 2nd film "Zeitgeist: Addendum." Peter proceeded to release two additional films and produced a satirical Web series called Culture in Decline.
What's next for Peter? He has been busy working on a live-action genre with his InterReflections Trilogy expected in the next few years. After producing works of documentary and satire, we can expect a new angle. As Peter says, "The beauty of art is that it sneaks behind your ego."
The Venus Project proposes an alternative vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable but as totally unacceptable. Anything less will result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems inherent in today's world.
I still remember the day in August 2012 when Futurist Jacque Fresco and his partner Roxanne Meadows of the Venus Project came to our studios for London Real episode #47. After accepting my offer to pick them up I headed off to Waterloo station with camera crew in tow to record the arrival of one of our century's great thinkers.

Jacque Fresco - The Venus Project
Joel Holt, with the help of Roxanne Meadows and Nate Dinwiddie’s archiving, created a video “Reflections on the Life & Work of Jacque Fresco”. The video presents snippets from Jacque's life, events, and appearances throughout his prolific and active life. A Resource Based Economy as proposed by Jacque inspires us towards a more equitable future.
The Venus Project is pleased to introduce some of the interviewees from our forthcoming series "The Choice is Ours".
