There Are No Good Or Bad People,

Living Through The 1929 Great Depression Helped Shape My Social Conscience. During This Time, I Realized The Earth Was Still The Same Place, Manufacturing Plants Were Still Intact, And Resources Were Still There, But People Didn’t Have Money To Buy The Products. I Felt The Rules Of The Game We Play By Were Outmoded And Damaging. This Began A Life-long Quest Resulting In The Conclusions And Designs Presented In The Venus Project.

You Can't Exceed The System With Language. You Can Only Exceed The System With Events; Recommended Procedures That Are Better. You Can't Exceed The System By Telling People To Be Good, Be Kind, Be Considerate... You Have To Take Away The Conditions That Makes It Necessary For You To Be Kind. And To Be Kind, You Design Highways That Aren't Slippery; Where No Accidents, Or Less Accidents, Occur. In The Future, Everybody Becomes An Innovator - A Creator.

There's No Such Thing As Designing The Perfect Utopian City. Everything Is Subject To Change. There Are No Final Frontiers.

War Is Not The Only Form Of Violence Imposed On People Through Inadequate Social Arrangements. There Is Also Hunger, Poverty And Scarcity. The Use Of Money And The Creation Of Debt Fosters Economic Insecurity, Which Perpetuates Crime, Lawlessness And Resentment. Paper Proclamations And Treaties Do Not Alter The Facts Of Scarcity And Insecurity, And Nationalism Tends Only To Propagate The Separation Of Nations And The World's People.

We Are All An Integral Part Of The Chain Of Life.
