Isn’t it disappointing that despite pandemics occurring in the past1, governments seem to have learned very little2? Events that can be trapped early appear to be left to chance.3 What is happening?
Well, what we are seeing is the collateral damage caused by the pursuit of misplaced happiness. Artificial scarcity in the form of misinformation–planned and perceived obsolescence4 along with insecurity — allows a mindset of hoard, withhold, and deprivation5 to develop. This scarcity-based mindset seems to me to reinforce the age-old pursuit of happiness. The classic rat-race to accumulate property, wealth, and power. Not global well-being.
We have inherited the rules of the game that perpetuate and support the current system. I remember reading in the book, “The Mind in the Making” by James Harvey Robinson, that “In every age, the prevailing conditions of civilization have appeared quite natural and inevitable to those who grew up in them. The cow asks no questions as to how it happens to have a dry stall and a supply of hay. The kitten laps its warm milk from a china saucer without knowing anything about porcelain. The dog nestles in the corner of a divan with no sense of obligation to the inventors of upholstery or the manufacturers of down pillows. So we humans accept our breakfasts, our trains and telephones and orchestras, and movies, our national Constitution, our moral code and standards of manners, with the simplicity and innocence of a pet rabbit.”
Critical thinking6 is a prerequisite for a better world. I don’t mean overriding suspicion or over-interpreting evidence. We must aim for coherence while being receptive to evidence and view the system with a healthy level of skepticism. I mean scientific evidence, not anecdotal evidence. Anecdotal evidence7 has its place but it’s weak and can be dangerous and, in most cases, misleading. They can be convincing when they start using scientific jargon and a testimonial from a so-called scientist but it takes scientific literacy (meaning having a well-versed interdisciplinary background in this and related fields) to see through the smoke and mirrors. Why would they use smoke and mirrors? Because business is exceptional in the pool of ignorance.
In this series, my suggestion has been to move towards a Global Resource-Based Economy. A Global Resource-Based Economy is not like anything you have encountered before. Resist jumping to conclusions and pay attention.
A Global Resource-Based Economy is a concept that outgrows the current global operating system of profit and fosters the well-being of people and the preservation and restoration of the environment.
Systemic change comes by changing the environment. Changing the environment means the physical and social environment.
- In transforming the physical environment, we consider managing the Earth’s resources sustainably, conserving energy and resources–doing more with less. We would be designing an environment to reinforce behavior to a value system that perpetuates living systems.
- In modifying the social environment, we need to meet human needs equitably, providing education to an updated value system corresponding to a Resource-Based Economy. Evolve a new way of communicating, adopt universal functional ethics, and use scientific scales of performance or statistical data, evidence, and empirical methodology, assisted by computer algorithms to govern global operations.
Why change the physical and social environment? If we don’t change the conditions, we will see a repetition of the same old destructive patterns of behavior. That means whatever we decide to change them to would need to be sustainable.
Resource sustainability can be achieved by:
- using nonrenewable resources at or below the rate at which an alternative can be developed,
- using renewable resources at or below the rate at which the resources can renew themselves,
- if unavoidable, releasing pollutants at or below the rate at which they can be made immediately harmless by the environment.
Social Sustainability demands that we fulfill the deficiency and growth needs8 equitably by:
- Giving everyone access to:
- Clean air,
- Clean water,
- Arable land,
- Relevant education,
- Functional and resilient shelter,
- And an integrated health care system that cares rather than profits.
- Guaranteeing safety and security without the need for police, armies, and navies.
- Providing equal opportunity and encouraging all to pursue personal growth for the greater good.
- Ensuring systemic resilience through careful engineering and constant education, education that would bring about a competent public.
All of this would need global cooperation, collaboration, and trust. High social capital needs to be an outgrowth of the system bringing about a sustainable future.
That is why Jacque Fresco developed the idea of a Global Resource-Based Economy. Now what is it and how would it deal with global problems such as pandemics?
A Resource-Based Economy, in many ways, mimics the human body. Imagine the human body reacted to problems the way the current system does. For instance, you cut your toe and your immune system responded as slowly as governments do, discussing it for days on end and debating, denying, ignoring, downplaying, and voting. We would have gangrene up to our knees! Well, guess what? Here we are with ‘gangrene’ up to our knees.9
A systems approach to problem-solving is critical. A systems approach is an overall approach to a problem, one that manages the interacting variables thoroughly. A Resource-Based Economy looks at all the parts with an overall systems approach and manages them in a way that helps us achieve human well-being equitably. Equity not equality, meaning taking everyone’s well-being into equal consideration. A systems approach to problem-solving would have the healthcare system built in every area of human life. That would be an actual attempt to keep healthy people healthy!
What does this mean? A Resource-Based Economy would automate jobs identified as repetitive and dangerous. Automating tasks and at the same time giving access to the necessities of life would reduce stress-related health issues while minimizing the possibility of workplace injuries and fatal accidents. The system will strive to end the need for pollutants, transitionally accepting only pollutants released at or below the rate at which they can be made immediately harmless by the surrounding environment. Public areas, transportation, homes, furniture, devices, clothing could have sensors to observe people’s health10 and adjust our surroundings to manage everything from your desired arousal level to your general health.
If a disease enters or develops in your body, nanotechnology would be able to detect the threat quickly. The ambulance will be outside your door before you even feel any symptoms.
If due to unforeseen circumstances, a new infection were to emerge, this interactive system will help trap and mitigate the issue at the source before any further spread is allowed. In every area of the world, a special contingency team exists that will have protocols derived through interdisciplinary studies to ensure that any threat is isolated. Generalists respond almost as quickly as the immune system in our bodies. Again, most of these protocols would be able to be implemented to work automatically. We need data management for planetary and human well-being.
A Resource-Based Economy is not a one-way data collection scheme that benefits only a few, like today. There is no vested interest so there is no advantage to misuse and abuse the data collected from the population. A Resource-Based Economy is a transparent system that facilitates input from the environment and a competent public. Updating and improving it benefits all equitably.
Now, a Resource-Based Economy is not perfect, but, I am sure you can admit that the chances of a pandemic developing in such a setup are low. We have to make a change in the way we think about ‘problem-solving’ and societal operation to reflect a total global systems approach. Global cooperation and collaboration are necessary if we are to tackle global problems.
Adhering to present-day values, we won’t exceed our present-day problems.

This is starting to sound like NWO. Some dystopian ideas I dont like the sound of.
What would happen to people with mental health issues or violent criminals?
How would you rid existing society of the power and corruption that pervades every area at the moment?
I believe Corona Virus is a hoax, a smoke screen for Agenda 21, what’s your opinion on that?
I have no way of assessing your assertion. It is worth noting that pandemics of the past had the same effect, i.e. people saying that it is a hoax. The rest I think I say in the article. Thank you for commenting.
Regardless of whether or not there is a pandemic I agree that although this sounds wonderful in theory people are inherently selfish. Do you have proposed ways to combat, dare I say eliminate power and greed? And what of those who are violent and mentally ill as spoken of by June? I never see a world that is safe without police/military. I understand that some are corrupt but I try very hard to believe that most are not and that they are necessary.

Thank you.
Creo que lo que ocurre es que si no estas informado sobre salud y crees en lo que la «ciencia» dependiente dl Big Pharma dice pues tiene sentido lo que dice este hombre, pero porque el problema es que cambiemos el paradigma materialista y creo que esta gente del proyecto Venus estaría abierto de mente a contemplar otras concepciones de la medicina, pero estoy de acuerdo contigo que mirado fríamente, entre la nanotecnologia, y prepararnos para las pandemias puede parecer que están en esta onda, saludos
I do not think it will work why” this is a system of racism and white supremacists ” and until you have a system of truth justice and correctness peace. There for it will not work, it sound very good and if get the funds to help some group of people in the US. Where I can see this along with other I will look at you differently and maybe I could even work with you!
I also would like to know if there is anyone who can help me with designing a house I wish to build in the near future, I will happy to send you the speck so I could get a ruff of what the house will look like? Thank you
All this sounds good, but do you have a clear practical plan to get this done with e.g. SWOT analysis and project plan including finances? Having such document must be the starting point. Maybe you already have that and can share it? Thank you.
To June Gray: I fully agree this sounds like NWO, global this, global that, pandemic (which is not a real one, it is a hoax of magnitude) etc etc.; it sounds a prerequisite for the “great reset”; I always was fond of the Venus project and talked about it in my circles because of the basic principle that Fresco wanted to develop fully self-sustaining “cities” or “communities”, which could operate in a real sovereign, independent way, using and replicating the available resources, not “globally” directed by a technocratic totalitarianism, because in my humble opinion “global” and “individual liberty/sovereignty/sustainability” are not compatible and the “global” approach will only make life more miserable or impossible for the 99,99%, as we see it happening in front of our eyes. I wait for another new e-letter from the Venus project but if it will continue with this “global” tone I will unsubscribe. I know it changes nothing, but then I’d rather spend my energy on worthwhile information and projects!
How do you see the world moving beyond our global (common) problems without a global approach?
I am from Russia, and I assure you June that in our country and neighboring countries the same anti-government attitude as you do. The virus is not a smokescreen, but the incompetence and unpreparedness of the authorities, their structures and the system of government as a whole, for tauim situations.
Moreover, while there are people with such stereotyped thinking that any “crazy idea” of thinking people is, in their opinion, a utopia, then in our civilization and life on the planet nothing will ever change for the better.
Looking far ahead, I can only assume that with such a destructive process of thinking and rule on the planet, the earth – the planet will be brought to the state of Mars or to a global catastrophe, which will subsequently affect the next generations.
Keith to you. To my great regret, I want to inform you that the world that Jacques presupposes, our generation, unfortunately, will not be able to live and enjoy in it. In our lives, we find ourselves in that period of a turning point, where exactly our generation should begin this turning point of the transition from our rotten system to the level of Fresco’s ideas. If we do not start this now, and pass the baton to our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, the idea of Project Venus will fade into oblivion.
That is why this mission is entrusted to us … but all its difficulty and complexity lies in the fact that it is impossible to start it without faith and mass agitation of all people, of all people …
There is a chance that it is in our life that we will not see any special changes in our labors on the way to the Venus Project, but our children and followers will thank us and will honor the memory of us as intelligent people, and not corrupted lazy cowards.
Nous devrons nous engager démocratiquement à mettre en place ce nouveau système social du millénaire, de l’ère du verseau, de l’âge d’or, technologique, de l’abondance ou de l’amour. Au Congo Brazzaville, un paysan, citoyen du monde, Raelien, humanitariste, coopératiste, communautariste, paradiste, démocrate – géniocrate, partisan de l’économie distributive fondée, basée ou axée sur les ressources à travers le Mouvement Humanitaire des Bâtisseurs Sans Frontières avec les personnes physiques intéressées procède à l’application sur le terrain de ce nouveau monde.
Les populations Africaines consultées 85% sont d’accord et favorables à cette initiative d’où il faut se soutenir pour la cause.
Reading the comments here
I am aware that We are all connected in ways that most quickly dismiss
I see the energy that keeps this beautiful blue ball spinning
Electric motors have pols
Negative and positive
Elections have pols
Right and left
Please educate me if I’m incorrect on this
Would any system going forward need to allow for the polarity to function within ?
I see human nature clearly for what it is and what your plan would require is negation of bade human traits
If you unplug the negative terminal on a battery it ceases to deliver power
I offer this with heartfelt love
Здравствуйте, позвольте тоже высказать своё мнение :))… Допустим я имею физиологические нужды – я их и решаю. Если я их не могу решить, значит они мне не нужны, ну или вызовут какие-то последствия. Например социальные нужды, если мне хочется как-то поучаствовать во взаимоотношении с обществом, я иду в это общество и помогаю нуждающимся в этой помощи. Конечно в рамках того, чем я могу помочь. За мою помощь люди чем, то делятся со мной. Так происходит коммуникация и укрепление связей. В следующий раз люди обращаются за помощью ко мне напрямую. Если у меня ест возможность и время, то я помогаю. И теперь вопрос: Почему кто-то, что-то будет делать бесплатно, без вознаграждения? Какая форма вознаграждения будет для людей, что бы была мотивация, стимул? Не получится разделить всё среди всех, если оно имеет ограничение. Какой в этом смысл? Все ресурсы в избытке теряют в этом ценность. Если вы живёте в пустыне, то песок для Вас не ценность, если Вы живёте на севере, от вода для Вас не ценность. В армии я делил свою посылку поровну, но меня не все уважали за это. Те, кто не мог постоять за себя, их посылки разрывали на части и каждый хватал побольше и побыстрее. Некоторые объединялись в группы, что бы как-то повлиять на меня и заставить делать так как им было угодно. Они хотели управлять мной, но у них это не получалось. Я делал только то, что нужно было для меня и для выполнения поставленных задач офицерами. Со временем я понял, что офицеры ни чем не лучше, взрослые дети. Некоторые крали картошку, что бы забрать домой, когда простые матросы ели не свежую. Я сам лично носил, чисти и после тепловой обработки ел её, потому что на тот момент у меня не было альтернативы. Мой вывод, кому надо тот будет видеть радость в жизни, тот найдёт способ как устроить её себе и своему окружению. Один среди всех и каждый сам за себя :))…
1) …, я иду в это общество и помогаю нуждающимся в этом обществе.
2) … Все ресурсы которые в избытке теряют – значение, важность.
3) … что офицеры ни чем не лучше – взрослые дети.
4) … Некоторые мичманы крали картошку, что бы забрать домой…
Вы предлагаете организоваться всем во благо всех. Но так было после войны. Сначала началось строительство и восстановление, пока не построили большинству, но не всем. Деньги – бумага. Пропал стимул тех кто впереди, помогать тем кто позади. Вы развиваете свой проект на собственные деньги, плюс предлагаете возможность пожертвования. То есть даже Ваша система предлагающая отсутствие денег, не может без них обойтись. Система которая сейчас есть, это пока лучшая система. Есть законы, но есть и человечность в принятии решений. Людям всегда даётся возможность жить и развиваться, если это в мирных целях. Примеры из средств общей информации можете не проводить. Они вертят языком и умами человечества с выгодой для себя :)… Я верю только в то что происходит. Я буду изучать и улучшать свою жизнь, что бы быть примером для тех, кто его захочет взять. Проект Венера интересный, я его организую в своём доме :))… Спасибо за то, что подтвердили ценность моих целей. Я буду продолжать улучшать и совершенствовать, то что вокруг меня.
1) То есть даже Ваша система предлагающая отсутствие денег, не может стимулировать других без них.
2) Примеры из общественных сфер информации можете не проводить.
3) Сделайте возможность исправлять текст, хотя бы в некоторый промежуток времени :) Дабы не делать работу над ошибками :)).. Надеюсь все поняли, тот смысл который я хотел донести в моих сообщениях.
1) То есть даже если Ваша система предлагающая отсутствие денег, не может стимулировать других без денег. :)) Блин, вот уже пошли исправления на исправления ))
Что за ерунда :)).. Кто исправляет текст? Я писал не так как он написан :)) Ещё раз – Ваша система против денег, но Вы сами не можете стимулировать других не используя деньги.
Но при этом Вы не можете мотивировать других без использования денег.
Humanity needs the Resource Based Economy, before self destruction happens, i am happy to say this Idea is the most intelligent in history
Pues, como siempre la clave está en el desarrollo individual de una conciencia de unidad, de fraternidad… de «AMA A TU PROJIMO COMO A TI MISMO», y que esto progresivamente vaya dando lugar a una masa critica que pueda generar estos cambios en las estructuras colectivas. Si estudiamos la NMG del dr. Hamer encararemos las pandemias y la enfermedad en general de un modo completamente diferente a como se hace hoy en día; ya que hoy se maneja a la población que delega su responsabilidad en las autoridades de cualquier índole, ya sen a gobiernos, elites financieras…, mediante el miedo y el estrés para el control de los ciudadanos, ocultando información, parasitando movimientos, maquillando las noticias y demás estrategias de ingeniería social, todas las áreas fundamentales de la vida. El proyecto Venus me parece de un gran valor una vez que haya cambiado lo suficientemente el paradigma y para ello no he encontrado otra cosa que tenga más capacidad de cambio que la OPPT 19776
The Venus Project erfahren. Und als erstes möchte ich das soviel Menschen wie nur möglich in meiner Umgebung von euch erfahren. Ich sehe mir jeden Tag eure Videos an und die wichtigen Inhalte lassen mich viele Dinge aus anderen Perspektiven sehen.
Despite we have to save our planet Venus Project is a technocratic nanobased completly insane NWO dictatorship project towards transhumanism. It will not change the wealth-squeeze between the one percent and the rest of us. BULLSHIT.
