A holistic socio-economic system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude. All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants, not just a select few. The premise upon which this system is based is that the Earth is abundant with plentiful resource; our practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our survival.
Modern society has access to highly advanced technology and can make available food, clothing, housing and medical care; update our educational system; and develop a limitless supply of renewable, non-contaminating energy. By supplying an efficiently designed economy, everyone can enjoy a very high standard of living with all of the amenities of a high technological society.
A resource-based economy would utilize existing resources from the land and sea, physical equipment, industrial plants, etc. to enhance the lives of the total population. In an economy based on resources rather than money, we could easily produce all of the necessities of life and provide a high standard of living for all.

The Venus Project offers a comprehensive plan for social reclamation in which human beings, technology and nature will be able to coexist in a long term, sustainable state of dynamic equilibrium.

"The best teachers are those who show you where to look, but don't tell you what to see". Alexandra K. Trenfor
Conflicto no supone violencia, sino que es un componente básico de la vida humana. Representa un fenómeno continuo y constante en la interacción humana. Es algo habitual en la relación entre grupos sociales y en nuestras relaciones interpersonales. Desde esta perspectiva, en la resolución y transformación de los conflictos está el camino para conseguir la paz. Se deja a un lado el concepto de paz «pasiva» o negativa como eliminación o ausencia de conflictos, para asumir la idea de paz «positiva» de búsqueda y de resolución no violenta de conflictos. La paz así entendida no es sólo un valor o meta, sino que se considera como un proceso.
El conflicto es fuerza motivadora y motor de cambio de la sociedad así como un elemento creativo esencial en las relaciones humanas
"El mundo trata a los niños ricos como si fueran dinero, para que se acostumbren a actuar como el dinero actúa. El mundo trata a los niños pobres como si fueran basura, para que se conviertan en basura. Y a los del medio, a los niños que no son ricos ni pobres, los tiene atados a la pata del televisor, para que desde muy temprano acepten, como destino, la vida prisionera. Mucha magia y mucha suerte tienen los niños que consiguen ser niños." Eduardo Galeano
Quotes by Jacque Fresco.
The three most important natural motivators of human endeavor and excellence:
External rewards extinguish intrinsic motivation, diminish performance, crush creativity, crowd out good behavior, encourage cheating, become addictive, and foster short-term thinking.
While complying can be an effective strategy for physical survival, it's a lousy one for personal fulfillment. Living a satisfying life requires more than simply meeting the demands of those in control. Yet in our offices and our classrooms we have way too much compliance and way too little engagement. The former might get you through the day, but only the latter will get you through the night.
Control leads to compliance; autonomy leads to engagement
The goal of the future is full unemployment so we can play!
Technology was never meant to increase productivity and growth so that we can work for longer hours, anywhere, any time, from any device. That's insanity. It was meant to make our lives better.
