Social Pathology

The first of these videos is a high-res copy of the video shown as an introduction to the NYC ZDay 2010. It is a classic take on the Zeitgeist Imagine video to include, instead of Jacque, a girl called Severn Suzuki; who famously delivered the speech she gives here to the UN Earth Summit in 1992. It clearly shows the goals of this movement, the fact that we are one family inhabiting one planet, and that we should aim to act as one planet moving towards one goal. Fantastic intro!

But the lecture is even better, if possible. Peter Joseph takes the audience on a ride through the social paralysis that is current in our society, and then analyses society as if it were a disease, going through the symptoms of the system today, the prognosis for the future, and the treatment of society as a whole if we are to change. This lecture is more focussed on the present then on the future, and clearly shows that unless we change, we will face serious and growing problems in years ahead. Note that the lecture did experience sound difficulties, hence the sound has had to be dubbed in certain places, but that doesn't detract too much from the content and a new lecture with better dubbing will be put online at a later date.

Zeitgeist Movement - Common Objections

The Zeitgeist Movement - Common Objections, Observations, Responses from Ben McLeish on Vimeo.

This video is a recording of a live presentation given by Ben that goes over some of the common problems people have when they first come across the movement. I actually had the pleasure to watch this presentation live, and Ben has done a superb job of taking that live performance and capturing it in this video.

Ben has a superb way of putting across information in both a clear and crisp manner, and in this presentation really does seem to cover almost every common angle that people view the movement from, and provide solid answers to those issues raised. A definite watch regardless of your views on the movement.

This film presents the evidence in a straightforward manner based completely around easily searchable facts and statistics, so that anyone can watch this without being alienated by anything that might not be appropriate.
