Jacque Fresco

Born in 1916, Jacque Fresco is considered to be a modern-day Leonardo Da Vinci and a peer to Einstein and Buckminster Fuller. He is a futurist, industrial designer, behavioral scientist, artist, inventor and author. Through his books, videos, lectures and a wide variety of new products and designs such as medical devices, aircraft structures, homes and safety devices he has already improved the lives of many. His books include The Best That Money Can’t Buy: beyond Politics, Poverty, & War, The Venus Project: The Redesign of a Culture, Structural Systems and Systems of Structure, and Looking Forward co-authored with Kenneth Keyes Jr. He has appeared on the Discovery Channel Special titled Engineering the Impossible, a number of times on The Larry King Show  as well as many other radio and televisions shows throughout the world.  Recently he was thrust in the spotlight by being featured in the widely viewed and downloaded “Zeitgeist Addendum” and thanks to the collapsing monetary system which he predicted, more and more attention has been focused on Fresco’s bold and innovative solutions.

             The culmination of his life’s work is eloquently put into his writings and lectures, where his fresh approach and new ideas captivate, inform and entertain people from all walks of life.

            Not only does he write, lecture, and produce videos about the future, but he built, lives and does his research on a 21-acre replica of a future-oriented environment with unique structures amongst lakes, winding streams and lush gardens, It has been referred to as “Eden Two,” and has been featured on many television shows and publications worldwide.  SEE www.thevenusproject.com

 n   Mr. Fresco offers a bold new way of looking at our world and its unworkable social systems. He envisions a global civilization in which science and technology are applied with human and environmental concern to secure, protect, and encourage a more humane world for all people, where human rights, are no longer paper proclamations but a way of life

 n  His proposals  are in perfect accord with the spiritual interpretations of the world’s religious teachings, i.e. peace, harmony, and love between all the world’s people. However, it goes beyond the ideal and the visionary, to attempt to achieve the optimal, sustainable symbiosis between human beings, technology, and nature.

 n   Mr. Fresco states that “It is not technology that is to be feared, but the misuse and abuse of it.” What is lacking is a workable blueprint to harness the vast potential that science and technology could have for positive change to our social systems, values and behavior. Fresco presents a humane and attainable direction for our upcoming age of cybernation.

n  A major concern of his social concept is that we learn to protect nature, rather than conquer it.

n“By working towards a global resource-based economy in which all of the world’s resources become the common heritage of all Earth’s  people, we could easily provide an abundance for everyone and overcome most of the limitations and unnecessary suffering of today.”
