Zeitgeist: Moving Forward Page #13

allowing us to always arrive at the

absolute best method for sustainable production

based on current understandings.

And while that might sound complex

all it is is a glorified calculator

not to mention that such multi-varied

decision making and monitoring systems

are already used across the world today

for isolated purposes. It is simply a process of scaling it out.

So...

Now, we not only have our Resource Management System

but also a Production Management System

both of which are easily computer automated

to maximize efficiency, preservation & safety.

The informational reality is that the human mind

or even a group of humans, cannot track what needs to be tracked.

It must be done by computers and it can be.

And this bring us to the next level: Distribution.

What sustainability strategies make sense here?

Well, since we know that the shortest

distance between two points is a straight line

and since energy is required to power transport machines

the less transport distance, the more efficient.

Producing goods in one continent and shipping them over to another

only makes sense if the goods in question simply cannot

be produced in the target area.

Otherwise, it is nothing but wasteful.

We must localize production, so distribution is simple

fast and requires the least amount of energy.

We'll call this the Proximity Strategy

which simply means we reduce the

travel of goods as much as possible

whether raw materials or finished consumer products.

Of course, it might also be important to

know what goods are we transporting and why...

And this falls under the category of Demand.

And demand is simply what people need to be

healthy and to have a high quality of life.

The spectrum of material human needs

range from core life supporting necessities

such as food, clean water and shelter...

to social and recreational goods which allow for relaxation

and personal - social enjoyment -

both important factors in human and social health overall.

So - very simply- we take another survey.

People describe their needs, demand is

assessed and production begins based on that demand.

And since the level of demand of different goods will

naturally fluctuate and change around different regions

we need to create a Demand / Distribution Tracking System"

so to avoid overruns and shortages.

Of course, this idea is old news

it is used in every major store chain today

to make sure they keep up with their inventory.

Only this time, we are tracking on a global scale.

But wait a minute. We really can't fully understand demand

if we don't account for the actual usage of the good itself.

Is it logical and sustainable for every single human to, say

have one of everything made? Regardless of their usage?

No. That would be simply wasteful and inefficient.

If a person has a need for a good but that need is only for say:

45 minutes a day on average

it would be much more efficient if

that good was made available to them

and to others when needed.

Many forget that it isn't the good they want

it is the purpose of that good.

When we realize that the good itself

is only as important as its utility

we see that "external restriction"

or what we might call today "ownership"

is extremely wasteful and environmentally illogical

in a fundamental, economic sense.

So we need devise a strategy called: "Strategic Access"...

This would be the foundation of our

"Demand / Distribution Tracking System.

which makes sure we can meet the

demand of the population's needs

for access of whatever they need, when they need it.

And as far as physically obtaining the goods

centralized and regional access

centers all make sense for the most part

placed in close proximity to the population

and a person would simply come in, take the item

use it and when finished, return it when no longer needed...

sort of how a library works today.

In fact, these centers could not only exist in

the community in the way we see local stores today

but specialized access centers would exist in specific areas

where often certain goods are utilized

saving more energy with less repeat transport.

And once this Demand Tracking System is in order

it is tied into our Production Management system

and, of course, into our Resource Management system

hence creating a unified dynamically updating

global economic management machine

that simply makes sure we remain sustainable

starting with securing the integrity of our finite resources

moving to make sure we only create the best

most strategic goods possible

while distributing everything in the

most intelligent and efficient way.

And the unique result of this preservation based approach

which is intuitively counter to many

is that this logical, ground up

empirical process of preservation and efficiency

which can only define true human sustainability on the planet

would likely enable something never before seen in human history.

Access Abundance...

not just for a percentage of the global population...

but the entire civilization.

This economic model, as was just generalized...

This responsible, systems approach to total Earth

resource management and processes

designed again to do nothing less

than take care of humanity as whole

in the most efficient and sustainable way

could be termed:

"A RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY"...

The idea was defined in the 1970s by

Social Engineer- Jacque Fresco.

He understood back then that society was on a collision course

with nature and itself - unsustainable on every level

and if things didn't change

we would destroy ourselves, one way or another.

Are all of these things you are saying, Jacque...

could they be built with what we know today?

Or are you guessing... based on what we know today.

No, all of these things can be built with what we know today.

It would take 10 years to change the surface of the earth.

To rebuild the world into a second Garden of Eden.

The choice lies with you.

The stupidity of a nuclear arms race...

the development of weapons...

trying to solve your problems politically

by electing this political party or that political party...

that all politics is immersed in corruption.

Let me say it again:

Communism, socialism, fascism... the Democrats

the liberals- we want to absorb human beings.

All organizations that believe in a better life for man:

there are no Negro problems or Polish problems

or Jewish problems or Greek problems

or women's problems there are human problems!

I'm not afraid of anybody; I don't work for anyone;

no one can discharge me.

I have no boss.

I am afraid to live in the society we live in today.

Our society cannot be maintained by this type of incompetency.

It was great - the free enterprise system -

about 35 years ago. That was the last of its usefulness.

Now, we have got to change our way of thinking or perish.

The horror movies of the future will be our society...

the way it didn't work

and politics...
