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.

July 17th Meeting CANCELLED

Friends,
 
     It is to my utter disappointment to announce that this Saturday's meeting is cancelled. My car had broke down today and there is no telling at this point how long it will take to transport is and repair it. But all is well because the meeting room at the Library is still booked for the 24th. This is our freebie meeting since the Library cancelled unexpectantly before the July 3rd Library. I must apologize deeply for this second cancellation.
    I am still working on plans and initiatives for the Teams Projects. I've reworded one of them to Activism and Organization. Basically just managing the Chapter, booking meeting rooms, events, etc. While I follow in this category, I need someone familiar with the Lansing/East Lansing area. I am from Howell and don't know the area very well. Each of these people would have to be capable of organizing and running a meeting if need be, such as the case of this weekend. I very strongly feel that keeping meetings to every two weeks will ensure a decent momentum of activities within the movement. Honestly, the meetings are incredibly easy to set up. You put on the website when it is, and you show up. Its that easy.
     But anyways, I hope to have another update before the meeting on the 24th at 1:00 PM.
 
Peace,
