For many of us today, the world is becoming increasingly unaffordable. With a crumbling economy, an endless war, and a collective ignorance about the environment, the most powerful country in the world has become the most indebted and wasteful country in the world. There is global poverty-preventable hunger and disease, and a worldwide state of fear. Our lives are essentially controlled by money, and we care more about profit than we care about people. Now imagine a world with no money. No group of elitists running the show, no corrupt media to brainwash the crowds, no big industries preventing people from being taken care of. A world where you would never have to worry about affording healthcare, groceries, gas, or bills. A world where goods and services worked together to help better human existence, not profit off of it. Imagine a moneyless world, a planet of people all peacefully benefiting from one another. It sounds too good to even comprehend, or to not roll your eyes at. However…
One of the most significant movements that the world may ever see is developing right now. It is a project that has the ability to alter every aspect of our existence; an organization with enormous potential to eliminate almost everything negative in our world. It's a technological revolution that the media-sponsoring institutions do not want anyone to know about. Ideally, it would cause the human mind and consciousness to evolve. It's called The Venus Project, and it could change our lives.
The Venus Project, based in Venus, Florida, proposes a society with a resource-based economy. Instead of painfully crawling towards unobtainable change, The Venus Project requires rebuilding our world so that we can actually achieve that change. The idealistic society that we collectively assume is impossible, actually is possible. The change is possible through the use of technology, and the fact that the Earth has enough natural resources to sustain every single human in the world. Current technology and resources that are only hidden because they would abolish the need for a monetary system. Capitalism keeps the rich power-holders in control. They don't want the world to know that we actually have the capabilities to live a life that revolves around the quality of life, instead of the competition for profit.
