The Venus Project presents a bold, new direction for humanity that entails nothing less than the total redesign of our culture.

I agree with the sentiment, but I don't think this sort of planning is very practical.

While social reformers and think tanks formulate strategies that treat only superficial symptoms, without touching the basic social operation, The Venus Project approaches these problems somewhat differently. We feel we cannot eliminate these problems within the framework of the present political and monetary establishment. It would take too many years to accomplish any significant change. Most likely they would be watered down and thinned out to such an extent that the changes would be indistinguishable The Venus Project advocates an alternative vision for a sustainable new world civilization unlike any social system that has gone before. Although this description is highly condensed, it is based upon years of study and experimental research by many, many people from many scientific disciplines. The Venus Project proposes a fresh approach--one that is dedicated to human and environmental concerns. It is an attainable vision of a bright and better future, one that is appropriate to the times in which we live, and both practical and feasible for a positive future for all the world's people. The Venus Project calls for a straightforward approach to the redesign of a culture, in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt, environmental degradation and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but totally unacceptable.

I like reading about these ideas but I know that central planning has never worked...our "democratically elected governments" can't even get our road systems improved adequately and our schools are not fit to be called schools so "redesigning or culture" is just not going to happen...

This is not "bold" or "new." This page is correct in stating that a total redesign of our culture is necessary, but The Venus Project simply perpetuates the same myth of "progress" and "development" that has been destroying our planet for centuries. We do not need more technology, we need to return to our roots and recognize that the land is just as alive as we are.

"The Venus Project presents a bold, new direction for humanity that entails nothing less than the total redesign of our culture. There are many people today who are concerned with the serious problems that face our modern society: unemployment, violent crime, replacement of humans by technology, over-population and a decline in the Earth's ecosystems."
