I like the ethos behind the Venus project quite alot. But I tend to be wary of projects and intitiatives that rely on advanced technology to solve our problems, it always seems to be just around the corner and in the meantime all we have to do is drive a little less, recycle, and eat less meat.


The one thing I totally agree with is that our culture needs to be totally redesigned. I just happen to believe we need to do it now with available technology that can radically change the way we live our lives. I expect there will be an intersection of the two approaches. In the meantime we need to do quite alot more than the minimum in our personal lives.

I couldn't agree with you more rob, this is a great project with so much thought put into it and so much to do, but first things first. We should start with ending the wars by educating people that there is way much more that we can do together than fight. Spread the wealth and have each person be able to have food on his table. Once this is done, you can talk about more complicated and advanced things and technology.
