So, what is this about?
Well, to be blunt, i'm here to provide a critique on the Venus Project's and other similar RBE-subscribing organizations, and their aim and proposals.
Basically, everything from the frequently repeated WW2 production increase, to circular cities, to claims of utopianism, historical precedents, and who knows what else.
Read everything from his his 1969 book "Looking Forward" to "The Best that Money can't buy", watched both documentaries, read the FAQ, etc.
a) It's an interesting case study on the rise and fall of an organization;
b) Rarely, from time to time, some interesting ideas come up, like phase arrays and whatnot.
All of these are coming, but i don't believe this is the answer(and i have a massive skepticism of people promoting one simple solution to everything).
There are multiple ways to deal with all the problems that have, and continue to plague mankind.
Some are urgent, some are almost impossible to dislodge, some are scary, some will take a long time, some have been dealt with once before the past, or have solved themselves, and some are unprecedented.
It didn't take a planetary uprooting of all society to fight them.
Oh yeah, and one more thing.
This is my time writing articles, so i'm sorry if my style is a bit sloppy.
Also, this is part of a long expose, so i ask however wants to criticize to stay on topic.
I'll get to most problems raised, eventually(and maybe i'll get inspiration for new articles in the process).
Have fun!

I suggest you educate yourself on how an RBE works, first!
Actually, i did.Read everything from his his 1969 book "Looking Forward" to "The Best that Money can't buy", watched both documentaries, read the FAQ, etc.
If you don't like it, why invest so much energy into researching it.
Because:a) It's an interesting case study on the rise and fall of an organization;
b) Rarely, from time to time, some interesting ideas come up, like phase arrays and whatnot.
Can't you see that was he's saying is coming true? Automation, inflation, wealth inequality, environmental degradation, and the Venus Project is the only solution to mankind's problems!
Yes and no.All of these are coming, but i don't believe this is the answer(and i have a massive skepticism of people promoting one simple solution to everything).
