TheSluiceGatesays...Haven't got time to watch this at the moment.
Is it as full of as much horseshit as the first one?
marblessays...Propaganda piece for Jacque Fresco's Venus Project. Peter Joseph does a good job at recognizing problems but a lousy job at offering solutions. The Zeitgeist movement is about sacrificing individual sovereignty for the sake of a one-world vision. Joseph assumes everyone will abandon their own self-interest in the name of some global interest.
I have 2 problems with the Zeitgeist movement: 1) Morally, altruism is incompatible with freedom and individual rights. Man is not some sacrificial animal here to serve the collective group. 2) It's completely unrealistic. Everyone is always motivated by their own self interest. It's part of our DNA. Changing that is impossible.
Now what I'm really curious about is if Joseph really believes this bunk or if he's serving a greater agenda. Wonder who funded this most recent film. From a cinematic standpoint, it's pretty good.
spoco2says...Wow, I just know I'd hate it from the description... 'socioeconomic monetary paradigm', a subject matter that 'will transcend the issues of cultural relativism and traditional ideology'? "life ground" attributes? "extrapolating those immutable natural laws"! "new sustainable social paradigm called a "Resource-Based Economy" "
My GOD I hate people who roll out such utter bullshit wording to describe things. Sounds like a company head trying to sell his latest middle management program.
Urgh
Actually, almost any description that uses 'paradigm' is almost guaranteed to be a wankfest.
"The nature of our nature is not to be particularly constrained by our nature"??? (I just jumped around a bit to get a feel for the piece, and that's what I hit on straight away)
