I don't support it in a financial way because I'm poor and transient...
but I support it by spreading the word to tens(possibly hundreds) of thousands of people!
I used to be really into it, there for a few months it seemed it was all I ever talked about.

I have this idea for a really cool chrome zeppelin that'll take a guy from Neo-Nanjing to Big Wheel, Arkansas in no more than three hours. And it runs on 100% renewable bottled pipe dreams! I'll model it in Catia and send it to Mr Al Fresco asap!

I am surprised you think I can give you impartial information.
But basically they have built a large and well organized movement, an excellent website, some great documentaries and movies, a network of skilled professionals and scientists and engineers, a growing social movement, hundreds of designs, inventions, devices, blueprints and a well articulated and badly needed vision for a social revolution and a better future.

ok, so nothing really? just social control, and some un-made designs?

I actually do not know what they have concretely made so far in terms of buildings etc, but I personally am very impressed by what the founder and the movement has achieved so far.

i'm certainly not. years have passed now, and there is still not enough viable interest to make any strides in the project. it's so far only a think tank for radical ideas that are completely unfeasible.

The founder of the project rivals Leonardo Davincii in terms of his prolific output of patents, inventions and designs. Its pretty damn impressive how much stuff he has invented and designed. Its humbling how much he and his movement have achieved. I know because as an academic, online activist etc, I know how much time, thought and effort it takes to do what he has done. Its frankly amazing.

It is pretty radical, but we need a radical change.
and it's not unfeasible...

It completely ignores human nature and its a Utopian pipe dream.

need and want are two different things, and ya it's unfeasible. which is why no one is doing any of the things that is proposed in the "venus project".

I think it recognizes human nature and aims to apply intelligent, rational thought and disciplined, concentrated, focused, long term effort towards changing the trajectory of society in a positive direction. When you look at the crazy societies that have existed in the past there is no reason to doubt that a new future civilization can come into being, and every reason to apply rational faculties and thoughtful process towards the intelligent design and creation of a future utopia.

I become uncomfortable when I am told what is best for me as the foundation and preservation of liberty rests in the individuals decisions not some governing body telling you what you aught to do.

As an individual I decided I support the Venus project. No coercion is being applied. Its just a rational argument that when analyzed we expect people to eventually agree with and support.
