The Goal

We intend to restore the fundamental necessities and environmental awareness of the species through the advocation of the most current understandings of who and what we truly are, coupled with how science, nature and technology (rather than religion, politics, and money) hold the keys to our personal growth, not only as individual human beings but as a civilization, both structurally and spiritually.

The Current System

We live in a society that produces scarcity. The consequence of this is that human beings must behave in self-preserving ways, even if it means they have to cheat and steal in order to get what they want. The monetary system REWARDS scarcity, waste, pollution, and overproduction.

What Must Be Done

We must begin to transition out of these oppressive ideals and move towards a system which is designed to support human beings...not force them to fight in order to survive. Our current methods of social conduct have proven to have no chance in resolving the problems of environmental destruction, human conflict, poverty, corruption, or any other issue the reduces the possibility of collective human sustainability on our planet. The bottom line is that in order to change things for the better fundamentally, you must begin to address the root causes. We have to start somewhere. The most important step is education.

The Venus Project

Consisting of the life work of social engineer Jacque Fresco, The Venus Project constitutes the application of the scientific method for social concern. Through the humane application of Science and Technology to social design and decision-making, we have the means to transform our tribalistic, scarcity driven, corruption filled environment into something exceeding more organized, balanced, humane, sustainable, and productive.

May 8th Meeting / NEXT MEETING June 19

Friends,

The first meeting was a complete success. We had a small handful of people attend and there was some great discussion as well. Some of the topics covered were:

-Introductions, including how the movement was found 
-Possible initiatives, including, putting up signs around the Lansing area with attention getting content, starting a Recognized Student Organization at LCC or MSU, possibly getting a spot on MSU radio, and holding public screenings of Zeitgeist related documentaries.

Due to a scheduling conflict, the next meeting will be on June 19th. Eventually we will get set up to where we can have the 2nd Saturday of every month. But this next meeting will be for 2 hours.

Also, I am working on putting together a mailing list for people in the areas to keep everyone up to date on all news related to the local chapter. If you would like your email address added, please send an email to zeitmidmich@gmail.com.

Peace,

CB
