The second film, Zeitgeist: Addendum, attempts to locate the root causes of this pervasive social corruption, while offering a solution. This solution is not based on politics, morality, laws, or any other “establishment” notions of human affairs, but rather on a modern, non-superstitious based understanding of what we are and how we align with nature, to which we are a part. The work advocates a new social system which is updated to present day knowledge, highly influenced by the life long work of Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project.

I’m glad to see they’re bring up SOLUTIONS, I’m very fond of those.

the technological advancement ov humanity does little if the ether is not properly attuned however. a global awakening ov consciousness and gnosis must occur. [again an opinion]
ei do agree though it is excehlent to some positive fluxes toward change in this film.

Yeah, lets destroy current civilization and descent back to stone age…
Their solution is illogical, counter-evolution, and, most importantly, needs a HUGE army to sustain it – because it’s essentially a slavery.
They do have good intentions, however. Just unable to comprehend the fact that ‘human’ is nothing more than animal – system without laws would either completely fall back (hey, material goods isn’t everything – scarcity will ALWAYS exist – e.g. woman.) or… after a short period of revolution, laws will be created.
Now, perhaps the most important thing, evolution. In a world where you don’t need to think (*ALL* work is done by machines, developed, perhaps, centuries ago) intelligence will disappear. You will have a race of physically fit, tall, beautiful, horrible dumb creatures, unable to understand even simplest things..
I prefer to live in a world where you can die of starvation while another man is traveling to the Moon (Mars? other systems?). Life isn’t fair, universe isn’t fair. Don’t fight with laws of nature, you can only lose.
P.S. I’m not saying that current system is perfect – i think it’s currently at peak time. The answer is, however, free competition – e.g. competition of locally-issued currency.
Current system will fall, and rise again in it’s primary state. Cyclical life and death.
