I give thanks to Bill and Kerry for this site, and just MAYBE this project will start a powerfull revolution to change the "Me Syndrom" to WE !!!!  |
The ideas of the Venus Project are not there to change people from ME thinking to WE thinking. That would take place long before a venus scenario could even start unfolding.
This happens on a personal level. Saying this type of thing wont work because 'people' care too much about themselves, your just stereotyping what you think the majority are like. whether I agree or not doesnt matter. If you group 'others' together and say things like, "well thats what everyone thinks" then you prob see the goal as being impossible. Small steps start with you. Its a system I guess many people who have worked in sales like myself understand parts of. When you lose the urge to own possessions to make yourself more socially acceptable and give up jealousy, greed, hate etc it all becomes pretty straightforward. This type of movement gaining pace will bring similar scenarios such as venus project to fruition. There will be many steps in between i think. We cant from a corrupt monetery based capitalist system to a resource based (somewhat communist), (somewhat socialist), envorinmentalist type world in one step.
Saying it wont work because of whatever reasons, youre only seeing that it would not work right now at this moment in time.
