Jacque Fresco is a futurist, inventor, social engineer, visionary and technician, best known for the Venus Project.

In his Future By Design documentary about Fresco’s life and ideas,  Emmy winning filmmaker William Gazecki called the 97-year-old Jacque “a modern day Da Vinci.” Others have called him “a new Buckminster Fuller.”

Now, I have to admit that I really like Jacque as a person – he just seems to have a unique combination of wisdom, life experience, sense of humor and personal humility. I also admire his multi-disciplinary accomplishments and his seemingly never-ending enthusiasm and scientific curiosity. This, however, doesn’t mean that I agree with him on everything that he says or proposes, and you would see a few of those moments during our 72 minute interview. At any rate, best thing you can do is to watch the interview in full, read Jacque’s book –  The Best That Money Can’t Buy, and judge for yourself.

During my conversation with Jacque Fresco we cover a variety of interesting topics such as: how he sees himself; scarcity and money as the root of all evil; the Venus Project; the need for unambiguous language; why he claims that most people are “unsane”; whether philosophers are bullshitters; the clash of civilizations and the nation state; education and the scientific method; the modern culture of bread and spectacles; resource based economy; Ray Kurzweil, artificial intelligence and the technological singularity; the Zeitgeist movement; Ayn Rand and objectivism; death and cryonics…

My favorite quote that I will take away from this conversation with Jacque is: “Study the meaning of science and apply its methods to the social system!”

NüSon - Jacque Fresco (Free DL)

Tai mano kelias, aš tuom gyvenu,
Mano tikslas tai, kurio aš siekiu 
Šitu repu, kalu, kalbu, kad įsivyrautų harmonija
Kol liūdesys per balių mindo koja gi,
Ko verki, ar tu smerki mane už tokį poelgį? 
Kad nieko nepakeisi vienas gal tik prikolini?
Darau savo geriausia, dirbu dėl kitų
Kaip plaučiai ar širdis, turiu į tai polinkį,

Kas ten viduje kalba, atkartoja žodžius, 
Kisielių pilsto man į ąsočius?
Tai aš tavo smegenų pečių metaliniu
Minčių šepečiu kasau, apsimauk sportbačius, 
Tai Venus projektas, planą piešiu,
Informacijos smarve tavęs gal nenudėsiu,
Žaku Fresco pritrupėsiu,  it ligą žodį pernešu, 
Nusiaubęs šiltnamius senus, naujienas peršu, 
Tarp monetarinės sistemos paršų, gyvenimas taršo
Gyveni gyvenimą aršų, skolos nukaršo,
Atsuk daugiau garso, klausos aparato, 
Prisikasi daugiau bulvių iš mano daržo, 
Projektas siūlo ištekliais grįstą ekonomiką, 
Alėjoj laisvės dėl to groju maršą,
Primesk jeigu jėgainės vėjo robotam alkašam
Gamina vyną, o gamyklose karšta, 
Dantračiai tik barška, valo oro taršą 
Stotis povandeninė, upė Afrikoj iškąsta 
Šiluma iš po ugnikalnio, dėk darbininkam tašką, 
Svarbu prisveržti smilkiny varžtą, atstosiu grąžtą
Dimaxium mašinos, namai kūpoliniai,
Trąsa mašinų viršuje, apačioj civiliai,
Lai neišblunka raidės iš tavo vidaus, 
Lai padai nenusitrina, tripą pajausk,

Pried. x2
