Zeitgeist: Addendum

Post by Kentucky Fried Panda »

Very good, possibly the best internet film about finances and resources yet. Very little tinfoil here.

Looks very interesting. The opening speech by Krishnamuti is very powerful, very moving. I've not watched this Zeitgeist video yet, though I certainly will.

But as a quick aside (don't want to send this thread off course) I would highly recommend reading some of Krishnamurti's work. "Freedom from the Known" is a good place to start, but I'll say no more - just look up some of the reviews on DODGY TAX AVOIDERS if interested!

I thought this was way better than the first one.

Jacque Fresco from www.thevenusproject.com spoke a lot of sense about sustainability and resources.

Haven't seen the film but I notice it features John Perkins, whose book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" I recommend.

"Venus Project" is rather an unfortunate name for an organisation concerning itself with sustainability :\
