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.

FIRST MEETING - MAY 5TH!!!

Its been a little later than expected, but I am pleased to announce that the Mid Michigan Chapter will host its first meeting at the East Lansing Library, on 950 Abbot Road, East Lansing, Michigan 48823, on Saturday, May 5th. The meeting will start at 1:00 PM. The meeting will be one hour long.

The Meeting room in the Library is great! We have use to a blackboard, kitchen, coffee machine...oh and a really big projection screen. I'm thinking of holding screenings of Zeitgeist related videos in the near future. And best of all its quite cheap. Check out the East Lansing Library's website for more details at: http://www.elpl.org/.

With the meeting planned so far in advance, it could be that any questions, comments, or concerns could really help in making the first meeting the best that it possibly can. Please send your thoughts to zeitmidmich@gmail.com.

Also, you can check out the Michigan Chapter page on Facebook Causes. To access this, just open the Causes App and search 'Zeitgeist Michigan' and and the cause to your profile. This is a great way of keeping everyone informed of when meeting will take place or any other activities for the movement.

Peace,

Possible Meeting Place

After a decent amount of hunting around, it seems the most sufficient place for a meeting is likely going to be the East Lansing Library. The first meeting time is still TBD. If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at zeitmidmich@gmail.com

ZDay 2010 / Meeting Place

Because of the infancy of the Mid Michigan Chapter, we will not hold an event for ZDay in the Lansing area. But it is very highly recommended to check out the SE Michigan Chapter's ZDay. See zday2010.org for more details.

A meeting place is still to be determined. Hopefully the first meeting will run sometime shortly after ZDay.

NEW MICHIGAN CHAPTER

The Mid-Michigan Chapter of the Zeitgeist Movement is finally here! This will be a very pivotal means of spreading awareness of the ideas of the Venus Project through the Lansing area and the surrounding communities.

There will be meetings held at a location that is yet to be determined. East Lansing seems to be a great area because of the college community that exists. If anyone knows of a great meeting place that is climate controlled, private, accessible and possibly free, send an email to me at zeitmidmich@gmail.com.

The first meeting will take place once there are enough subscribers to the site.
