Default Re: Why The Venus Project Won't Work !!!!!!!!!

Actually... Think about how people lived a few thousand years ago and how tribes around the world live today.
There is no ME there, they are all helping out each other because if they don't they will have a though time trying to survive. Everyone is helping out with ex. gather food, go hunting, building homes etc...

It's the way we "modern" people have been taught to live that has made most of us to think ME ME ME, because in todays society you are taught that you don't get that much of a reward for thinking WE altough you actually are. hmm... I think I made that sound abit confusing

You are now taught that YOU need to work for YOURSELF to be able to make a living ex. buy food, pay off mortage, etc. In tribes people are working for each other in order to make the whole tribe survive. I do see a small problem with The Venus Project and that is that it will take maybe one or two generations before it will work optimal. We will need to teach our kids a new way of living. Today to many people are in a whole other mindset than what is required to make this a good solution.

I see for me that we would start out to live more and more in a tribe like community all around the world maybe helping each other build "earthships" (google it) and eventually we will be ready to start the "real" Venus Project

Hope this made any sense I'm kinda tired and ranting about now
