The Zeitgeist Movement: An Introduction

The Zeitgeist Movement can be summarised as the application of the scientific method for social concern. The movement is not a political or religious movement; but a social movement. We do not recognise nations, governments, races, religions, creeds or class; but instead see the Earth for what it is, one single planet, with the human race being a single family. We recognise that we only have one Earth, a natural spacecraft roaring through space; and that we depend on the environment provided by this Earth not only for essentials, such as food, water and air, but also that we can learn from the Earth and nature about life's own functioning and processes, and that by aligning ourselves with these processes is the most progressive and productive thing we can do.

Put simply, The Zeitgeist Movement is the activist arm of The Venus Project, an organisation which constitutes the lifelong work of industrial designer and social engineer Jacque Fresco; and what the Venus Project represents and the Zeitgeist Movement advocates, is the application of the scientific method for social concern. Through the humane use of the application of science and technology for social design and decision making, we can transform our society into something far more balanced, organised, humane, productive and, most importantly, sustainable.
