Jacque Fresco - Free Will, Cause, Influence of Background

The full lecture is available in streaming format at:

Full lecture runtime: 28 minutes

Jacque challenges the assumption of free will and illustrates how this cherished notion has no basis. He asks the viewer to consider how “cause” is projected as independent agency and questions how we could ever act out of anything free of the influence of our background. He makes the case that belief in free will and individuality is a tool to maintain establishments & social conditions which would otherwise undergo significant modification.

The Venus Project proposes an alternative vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable but as totally unacceptable. Anything less will result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems inherent in today's world.

To me Jacque is the greatest reminder that humanity has a lot to learn ahead. He was the first person that actually opened my mind and allowed it to question everything. Thank you Jacque and the entire team at TVP! Never stop what you do!

[therealKINDLE]

The only man that made sense. It pains me to be constantly reminded that instead, we have the opposite of intelligence guiding our societal system.

[ИгорьВасильев-лк]

You changed my life Jacque. I will share your ideas all over Russia. Thank you and all people working for new values and Venus project.

I loved this man! I wish I would’ve had the honor and privilege for a long conversation with him.

[ArcAngle]

I have noticed that the more I watch jacque the more I understand what he actually means to say. I think we must all dive really deep into this and learn first. Then after we understand then share. Understand it yourself first.

[calderarecords]

These videos with music & Jacque talking always makes me feel emotional. I miss him so much.

‘They have a roundabout way of looking at things’. i.e. they ask the same question in the same way, with their same thought process whilst coming to the same conclusion. This is true of most people.

[mariuspet]

Very wise, he inspires me a lot, every time I'm looking to his videos!!!

[TheAngryHippie]

We will make sure that Jacques work will be implemented for our future generations! I am 25 years old and I wish to show his work to the world!

Great stuff as always. The video before this is probably the best I've seen as far as content and editing so far of these shorter ones. This is great and easy to watch. Thanks for everything you do guys! (My guess is that it is Joel who have made this video).

Rip J Fresco, greatest mind of our lifetime.

"You have to be ruthlessly honest"

This is an ancient philosophy but it's difficult for society to teach and therefore difficult for people to follow
Magna est veritas et praevalebit - Truth is great and will prevail

[justsimplegg]

great, great man ! I think that J.Fresco can change the world to a good side

[therealKINDLE]

Love you so much Jacque. Thank you for all your teachings. Thank you so much. I cannot stipulate my gratitude enough. And for what it's worth... I am sorry that we did not realise your importance soon enough to make a go of it.

[gurambarbakadze]

I love u jacque fresco
I think this man was a light of humanity
He's work will continue and I hope one day this poison world will wake up

[ForgottenSouls]

The higher power has his spirit to influence my essence and humanity that has been spared. I wish I could of met him for wisdom.. I can’t now

[robinpunneo]

When will we get past the idea of a "God of vengeance" in all our social structures? There is a strong belief in punishing and destroying what needs only to be healed for correction. The cost of revenge is sanity. This world is a perfect place to learn. As we learn - we will stop demanding it be what it is not. I am inspired by this man's vision.

[FURIOSO]

It must be a privilege to serve members of society, not that we want rewards or medals or honour for what we do.
But because it's an honour to do it, if you can't work for that then you miss the boat.
JACQUE FRESCO.
