We Have More Than Enough Resources In The World. The Only Thing We Don't Have Is Brains In Washington.

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.

There's No Way To Design A Society That's Optimal Or Utopian. It's Better Than The One That Was. Systems Always Undergo Change.

There Is No Such Thing As Beauty. If Your Culture Says, 'this Is A Beautiful Girl,' That's Within The Framework Of Your Culture. If You're Brought Up In An Island Where People Have Pointed Heads, That Would Be 'beautiful' In Your Terms. All These Mythological Structures Is What Gets Us Into Trouble; The Artificiality Of Our Values That Get Us Into Trouble.

In The Future, In A Saner System, We Would Design Products Not To Wear Out And Break Down; To Last As Long As Possible, So That The Responsibility Of The Service Sector Would Not Be Overloaded.
