current here that works. You turn a dial and change the color of the inside. We couldn't do all that. We didn't have the money to do that. So if you have any questions before we begin, there's no questions you can't ask, okay? And if I fail to answer your question, you have to say you didn't answer my question. Don't be polite, okay? If I fail, it's up to you. Thank you. Do you have a film for us? Just one. Yeah. Okay. Joe and I are going to film, I guess. Okay. I think Larry's coming. Yeah, the camera. So... Is it okay for me to record? I have a camera. Yeah, sure. Okay. Record. Okay. And then photograph anything you want to photograph. Great. Thank you. And if there's anything you don't understand in these lectures, interrupt me. Say, I don't get it. If you don't do that, it won't work. All right. Okay. Also, these gadgets... I'm going to put this in your way, right? I'm going to move that. I'm going to sit in between you guys or... I have a question. You can sit there if you want or something. Do you guys have a restroom around here? Yes. It's a long drive. I'm sorry. I'm going to hang off the... Yeah, but I'm not quite set up. I'm running late. Would you mind getting the pencil and paper? Sure. Okay. Thank you. And if you think of any questions, I could write them down. Anything at all. There's no hidden area. There's a washroom in the corner. There is a line. You go through that door and to the right if you want to use it. Okay. Are you a student? Are you coming to school? Yep. What are you taking? I'm taking... Well, I'm actually majoring in theater. Theater. So I'm taking like European theater tradition, like that class, and Italian. I have to take a language, so I'm taking Italian. Do you speak Italian? I'm not quite fluent yet. I'm only like on the second level of Italian, but I'm trying to get there, get to be fluent in Italian. Are you a student? No. I'm a worker. You what? I work. Okay. Yeah. Do you have particular areas of interest? I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. I'm a student. Are you expecting anyone else, Roxanne? Yeah, just go. Roxy, are you expecting anyone else? I don't know. Because a lot of people said they were coming, and then they said they were going to come next week instead. I don't know how many are finally... Do you start yet, right? No. What is this going to be for your website? We've been filming all of them. We did their whole tour about four and a half hours. Five-piece disc already, but we're just recording, documenting. Good. Are you going to school? Yes. What are you taking? Social psychology. Good. I have a degree in law enforcement. You know my attitudes on psychology? Yeah, I've heard a bit about it. I feel that a psychologist or a psychiatrist that tries to... adjust you to this system is wrong. It's the system that generates the values. You know what I'm talking about? This culture makes people the way they are. Either maladjusted or fairly well adjusted to this culture. And if a psychiatrist works on the person, they're doing the wrong thing. They should be working on the environment that they grew up in. In other words, if your mother says, you're a Lutheran, you don't play with that little Catholic girl, she's indoctrinating you. They're always indoctrinating you. People are always... Do you want to slip down this way? Sure. He might end up directing it to you. People are always... When they pick up the child, they say, cup, glass, spoon, over and over again. Daddy, mom, over and over again. That's where kids get the language from. No kid was ever born speaking English or Chinese without learning it. So the reason I place so much emphasis on environment is because I notice that if a person comes to you and speaks to you, you might say, are you from the South? By their dialect. Do you want to wait until they get out of the bathroom? I didn't notice anybody. There's 200 people that aren't here. Okay. Larry and Murray. That's water. I believe. Have some cookies while you're at it. Yeah, thank you. I'll pass it around if you can't reach it. You made these? Okay. Are you a student? No. Okay. Do you have a profession? Yeah, I work for a trucking company up in Pennsylvania. I'm sorry. I work for a trucking company up in Pennsylvania. Are you a truck driver? No, I work in the parts department at a freightliner dealership. Is everybody here now? I guess not. Okay. Is everybody here? Okay. I was asking, are you a student at school? Do you have any special training? Nope. Okay. I just want to tell you that people come here one way, and when they leave they're very different. I'm just saying that goes for everybody that's ever come here. They walk out different kinds of people. Well, if you understand me, if a German comes to this country, they're going to speak with a German-American accent. Do you understand that? If you're brought up in the South as a baby, you might say, if you're brought up in an uneducated region, you might say, I'm gonna get me a nigger and I'm gonna kick his ass. That's not you speaking. That's what you pick up. Do you understand that? If you're brought up by an Italian family, you're gonna speak with an Italian accent. If you're just coming to this country. That's why you say to people, are you from France? Because you recognize the dialect. Are you from Maine or California? There's a different dialect throughout the country. Do you understand that? Where does it come from? Environment. Every word you use, you learned in school or picked up from books, and your judgment regarding people comes from movies, books, you want to marry a tall guy with long wavy hair, that comes from books or movies. So I'm trying to say that you are composite, made of every place you've lived, every book you've read, the TV shows you watch, you're role models. Whether they're football players or mathematicians, they're your role models. Now, if you were born in the South Seas, you might, depends on where in the South Seas, you might have been born in the South Seas. You might walk around nude ever since you're a baby, and swim nude. If that happens, there's no such thing as a peeping Tom. Can you understand that? If you're brought up nude, you swim nude as babies, no guy looks at a girl's body, only the eyes. That's brought up there. And none of the natives poke each other and say, hey, get a load of that chick. They don't talk that way. And they don't collect pictures of nude women. Is that any problem for anybody? It is not natural for men to look at a female body. They're trained to do that because you cover it up. If you covered a female's nose and said, oh God, you ever see a female nose? Show them a little bit, you might have the loose, loose collar if you bring them up to that. Do you understand that? I'm trying to say that all our values, facial expressions, are picked up from environment. I was just run over by a Mack truck. Oh my God! Even that is picked up from the environment. There is no you. You think you're brought up and believe you're an individual. You can't be an individual unless you've lived in France two years, Germany two years, Istanbul two years, so you have an overview. Then you're more of an individual. An individual is a person exposed to different values. There's another thing they're brought up to believe in, and that is love. There's no such thing. I'm going to tell you what there is. If you meet a person, you might say, I think I'd like to know that person. It comes in books and images again. I'm sure you don't like everything you've ever done in your life. You must have done stupid things in the past, things you resent. Sometimes you like yourself a lot, sometimes less. Sometimes what a stupid thing I did. Your feelings about yourself fluctuate. If you marry a guy, are you married? If you marry a guy because you love him, whatever that means to you, or if you live with a replica of yourself, how long will you be together? You know what I mean? Sometimes you like him, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you say, you move out, because there are times when you change over the years. No one loves themselves all the time. It varies. Sometimes you like yourself, sometimes less. Sometimes what a stupid thing I did. If you marry somebody, you're not in love with them, you love certain aspects about them. Like my mother. A guy says, do you love your mother? I always say, in what area? Because my mother was a racist and a bigot, so I did not love her in that area. Can you understand that? Nor can you love yourself all the time. So even if you marry a guy, or you live with him, sometimes you like him very much, sometimes a little less. Sometimes how did I get into this situation? You know what I mean? So love is fluctuating. If you think of it as a fixed thing, you're going to suffer. No more do you love yourself all the time. You love another person. Any problems with that? Okay. Now if you were brought up as a baby in the Amazon jungle, and you're a headhunter, because you're brought up that way, if I said to you, it doesn't bother you to have five shrunken heads, you might say, yes, my brother has 20. That would be normal to that area. Do you understand what that means? If you were brought up in ancient Rome, they used to believe in many different gods. The god of war, the god of fertility, all kinds of gods. Then the Christians came to town and said there's only one god. They said what the hell's the matter with you? And they took all the Christians, put them in an arena, and fed them to lions. All that they can find. Now they would starve the lions to put on a good show. And they took the clothes off the Christians to make it easier for the lions to tear into pieces. And on Saturday and Sunday, the whole town would come to see Christians being fed to lions. Family and all. And the kids would say, Daddy, can I come next week to see Christians fed to lions? He might say, if you behave yourself. Now, is the daddy nuts? No. That's normal to that culture. It's normal for the Arabs to have ten wives or fifteen wives because they're brought up in that kind of culture. It's ridiculous to have one wife in the Arab world. You know what I mean? You're not living the right way. You should have one wife. You're trying to superimpose your values on them. You know what I mean? Anybody that doesn't understand me anyway, because all the further decisions are based upon whether you understand what I'm talking about. Okay. You're brought up, say, by some primitive people, islanders. And you ask the chief, or tell him, you can have anything you want. He can never say a twin-engine beach craft. Ever. He can't say that. Or he can't say high-definition TV. It's not within his framework. Do you understand that? So he says, think before you speak. He can't think of anything else. He can't say, I'm a Sony high-definition camera. He can't say that. So when you meet normal people, normal means fucked up by society. You know what I mean? Normal people believe you can think. You can't think outside of what you've been exposed to. You can't say, I'd like a new set of transistors for my computer. No native ever speaks that way. No American Indian or primitive person. You understand what I mean? Now it's very rare for a girl going out with a guy in a car and the car stops suddenly. She says, just a minute George. Goes out, lifts up the hood, makes an adjustment. He says, now try it. Rarely are girls framed in that or given that kind of curiosity. Boys, I have to tell you this whether you know it or not, when they're very young, not all of them, will go out in the sand and piss and cut streams in the sand. Girls rarely can do that. If they can, mother says, you don't do those things. Girls don't climb trees. Little girls don't use guns. Whatever it is, little girls are made little girls. But if mother treated the boy as a girl, he will have female values. If you don't understand that, if four or five effeminate women, very effeminate, raise a little boy without a male and women move differently than men, I think you know that. Oh, did I see that? They might move like that. And that boy will move just like a woman. Just like an Italian. He says, come on, eat. It's a good food. He does that because that's what he picks up. Because he's learned to speak Italian. Now he's in America, so he speaks with an Italian-English accent. Not English, but American. American is butched English. The English brought the language over. You understand? The Germans brought the printing press. Louis Pasteur, maybe we're all alive because of Louis Pasteur. So my grandfather used to say that people came from all over the world and they brought ideas to America. And America was not invited here by the Indians. They came and took the land away from the Indians. Except for the borough of Manhattan. They paid 24 bucks for it. Now the Indians did not welcome us and say, come on, all you people, live wherever you want to live. We shot Indians that tried to stop us. So we stole this land from the Indians. Now George Washington had 300 black slaves. Not in your history books. Because it wouldn't look good. George Washington was a pinhead. A snob. A member of the wealthy group. So most of your presidents were pretty stupid people. All the way back. But when he was a human, he was a hat salesman. Did you know that? He had a hat store. How does he qualify for president? No politician knows anything. But please don't take my word for it. Go and ask a person who's a politician. Say, how can you prevent war? I don't know. How can you grow more food to feed people? I don't know. How can you make airplanes safer? I don't know. Well, they're not political. Politicians were good a hundred years ago. Do you understand that? They didn't have to make those decisions. Well, pull up a chair. When politicians talk to each other, they say, what do you think? What do you know? And they base their judgment. And when they can't control the person, they don't know what to do. So they're not political. They make laws. All man-made laws are artificial. Like, don't steal anything that doesn't belong to you. When America wins a war, we steal their technicians, we steal their airplanes, German airplanes, and rockets. We take them. Did you know that? And whenever we win any war, we take things. But that goes for Britain, France, England. They're all corrupt. By corrupt, I mean, they tell you not to steal. They tell you, always be honest with your children. Then they go to work on your children. So I said, Mommy, where do babies come from? The stork brings them. That's a lie number one. And how does Santa Claus get down that thin chimney we have? Well, he brings all the toys. That's another lie. Where did the earth come from? I don't know. Did somebody make it? I really don't know. That's the truth. Now there are people who believe God made the world, or a lot of people believe many gods made the world. And scientists believe that nobody made the world. That everything keeps changing. Stars explode. And they believe very differently. But what scientists believe is very different than what the average person believes. Because everything they buy is made. So when they look at the earth, they say, somebody must have made it. Somebody must have made it. And there's some guy on the throne with angels flying around. And he makes a man and a woman. And he says, I want you to behave yourself. Then he makes a snake that walks upright, according to the Bible, not me. The snake said, eat of the fruit of knowledge. So they, she, ate of the fruit of knowledge first. And God got so mad he kicked them both out. But it says in the Bible, God is all loving, all forgiving, all knowing. So he would have known they would have eaten the fruit. So he didn't eat the snake to tempt them. That's it. God is made by man in his own image. As dumb as man. And God is not very bright because he didn't like the world he made. And he said, Noah, build yourself an ark and take two kinds of every animal. Because he made all that, but he didn't like people. He says, I'm going to flood the whole area. So you put two kinds of every animal on your boat. And we don't know where he got the polar bear from, or a giraffe, or the Unesco, all over the world. And if he did take two kinds of every animal, the boat would be about a mile long. And that's very difficult to build. And it never says in the Bible who cleaned the shit out of that boat. The boat was loaded with crap. So, the stories are they're funnier than the comic strip. Because they're ridiculous. Now it also says in the Bible, don't take my word for it, open your Bible, thou shalt not kill. It doesn't say you can kill Wednesdays and Thursdays. It says thou shalt not kill. And people have been killing ever since, even though they go to church. It also says in the Bible, love thine enemy. That means fear. Treat him nicely. And if a man strikes you, turn the other cheek. Let him strike. Don't fight back. It also says, judge not, don't judge people, unless you will be judged in the future. So everybody does jury duty where they judge people. And the judges are all committing crimes, according to the Bible. So I'm trying to tell you that all judges, Supreme Court judges, any judge, has to be stupid. Because he doesn't know where the man comes from. If he comes from a land where it's normal to beat your children, in the Arab world they beat their wives on the average of three times a day. It's normal in the Arab world to beat your wife. In Italy it's normal to take your belt off and whip the kids to teach them things. I don't say that's good or bad, but that's normal in Italy. When the, there was an Irish potato famine where the potatoes weren't growing. There was a drought. And the Irish had a tough time living. So they came to America. We had signs come to America about the jobs. So the Irish came. And they worked for one half of what Americans would work for. So Americans beat up the Irish. Can you understand that? Not because they were Irish, they took their jobs away. Then later they associated an Irishman with a certain dialect. How are you, lads? He's a fine Irish boy. They picked up the brogue and they beat up the guy. Then the Italians came. They worked for less and they were beat up by the Irish for working less, for working for less than the Irish. So race prejudice is based upon threats. So if you design a society where there's jobs for everyone and everyone has equal access to education, regardless of their race. And women have equal access to professions. No more discrimination. No more paying women less than you pay men. For the same job. You know, women are paid less, don't you? And then there's this right to congressman and telling me one equal rights. There was a time in America where women were not allowed to vote. They had to fight for that. Did you know that? Who the hell are these bastards in Washington that you have the right to? They should be at the forefront of knowledge. Do you understand? In agronomy, physics, growing apples, anything. They should know about it. They're just politicians that know nothing. Again, don't take my word for it. Walk over to any politician and say, how would you prevent automobile accidents? He says, we put up traffic lights but one person doesn't notice that. They don't have any answers to anything. Now the next thing is, everything that you have, your washing machine, your electric lights, are all technical. Your automobiles, your airplanes are all technical. Without that, people would be pulling boats along the Volga River like they used to. It isn't that Lincoln freed the slaves. New York couldn't compete with the South because they had cheap labor. It was the northern countries that wanted the slaves free so they'd have a competitive basis. Do you understand that? Alright, I'm going to tell you something. There's nothing good about our system. Let's say you had a factory. And you turn on vacuum cleaners ten times faster than he does. But you being brought up as a Christian, you share your ideas with him. You lose a competitive edge. If you take out patents on your process, he can't go ahead and make it. So you consciously withhold information. So anybody who doesn't understand that? Patents deprive other nations of picking up things. But inventors have to get paid. So in the future, everybody is cared for. So if you move this crap out of the way, I might be able to describe a little bit of the future. And if anything bothers you in the future, let me know what it is. This is one type of city in the future. Here's how it works. This building is a public library. Some women felt that people should have access to books, whether they could afford them or not. So they marched women to get a public library. They had rotten eggs thrown at them. They were beaten up, same as they are today, fighting for women's rights or black rights or child labor in factories. They used to take children seven years old to ten years old and work them in factories for very little pay. That's how you maintain the competitive edge. If you had to pay adults, you couldn't compete with and world with good. So the people that hired them fought to keep the children there. They said, well look, they come from poor families, we're feeding them at least. He said, no, it's not fair to have children. But women, again, fought for freeing children from working in industrial plants. Every inch of the way, every bit of progress was fought by every society. Do you understand? It doesn't just come about by the leaders. The leaders of society are pro-establishment, meaning they never made them leaders having a business, selling things. They try to keep and teach in school. That's why all universities, all of them, are full of shit. All schools do not teach you how to think. They don't teach you how to relate to other people. They have a language which they teach you, English. The English language, the old English language, was designed hundreds of years ago. And so therefore, it makes it impossible to talk to people, although you think you're talking to people. That goes for Spanish, Greek, Italian. All languages are old. And they're based upon old values. And therefore, you talk at people, not to them. When I say, have a nice day, he says, gee, thank you. Why don't I say, have a nice life? Why just a day? I say, that goes forever. So I don't have to say anything anymore. People don't talk that way. Do you understand? The language you use, you talk to people, it goes into their head and comes out as they interpret it. If they're brought up in a different community, they think, he's a nigger lover. He believes his children are associated with blacks. Your children are associated with Jews. His children are associated with Filipinos. That's not right. They should be all white Americans. Well, when you get to people and you start doing that, you're separating them. You're making problems. This means, well, she's brought up with that value system. She's neither bad nor good. No one is good or bad. They behave in accordance with their background. In the South, members of the Ku Klux Klan said, let's go into town and beat up some niggers. Hey, that's a good idea. Well, they're brought up that way. And when men say, well, you know how women are, they just mean they're good for sex and babies and cooking, maybe. But they're not good for anything else. You're brought up to that value system. I think women can be engineers, scientists, anything they want to be, but should not be dressed as women. Should be dressed equally. And they all ought to swim nude in all the swimming pools as babies. Then men will never stare at their bodies. Do you understand that? As long as you cover a female's nose, you're going to make a person curious. What's under that cover? Yeah. Thank you. Do you understand that? So all the things that you're going to leave her right and normal, when women say, well, you know how men are, that isn't how they are. That's how they're made by their particular society. Can you understand that? Do you accept that? Is that part of you? The only thing you have that's natural is reflexes. When the doctor hits your knee, your leg moves out. When sand moves toward your eyes, your eyelids come down. The rest is learned. If you learn certain animals are harmful, your kid is never born knowing that it's perfectly sane to walk over to a lion and pet it. You have to say, you stay away from that animal. This animal will hurt you. Or this snake is poisonous. And the kid says, what snake? You have to teach them the shape of the head, the rattles on the tail. They're not born that way. No matter how long you live in the forest, you teach your kids what to stay away from. Do you understand? The older a language is, historically, the more thalamic. That means emotional. If you go back to a very primitive tribe, they only talk about feelings. How do you feel about this? Or you can eat that, but you can't eat this. Because they ate the wrong food and it burned them. That's why they learned to tell their kids, never eat that mushroom. It'll hurt you. But before that, somebody ate it. Now a Frenchman wanted to fly like a bird. He looked at birds and he made two wings about three feet long, one on each side. And he jumped off the Eiffel Tower and he started to beat the wings. And he died. And his brother-in-law wrote, make wings larger next time. Where do you think they get it from? No one knows how to build an airplane. There's no reference. Nothing he can base it on. He starts out with little wings and he beats them and he jumps off the barn roof and he breaks his legs. And his brother-in-law says, something's wrong, maybe the wings are too small. And he makes larger wings. He still can't beat the air because he doesn't have the musculature. But he doesn't know that. How can he know that? What I'm saying now is that nobody ever does anything wrong. They don't know. The first guy, that fool with nitrogas and glycerin, the building disappeared. So did the guy, who's an explosion. His cousin wrote, never fooled with that stuff. Where did he get it? The guy being blown to bits. So you can never do anything wrong. If you're married five times, you're looking for the right guy. You don't know what the right guy is, so you try different guys. When you fall in love at 15, it's different than falling in love at 30. Then when you get to be about 40, you're falling in love at 40. Your values are a little different. You understand? So nobody can pick the right person. Right for what? For a 30 year old, a 20 year old, 16 year old? We can't pick the right person. We can only pick what's available. But someday, they will tell you different people have different values. The person you want to go with has values similar to yours. You understand? They'll do a value check and they'll tell you different things. If you're Jewish and you go with a Nazi, he finds out you're Jewish, he's suddenly mad at you. He doesn't know anything about you. So men are prejudiced against Filipinos, Swedes, Latins, and they used to say when I was a kid, get yourself a dumb Swede to clean out the cellar. Or a Polack, which is a jerk, according to the movies that I see. And in the movies, it always shows Orientals with eyes that are thinner than ours sneaking around. And Blacks were always lazy. Get them out and go to work. And the Filipinos knew nothing. And the Orientals never changed. That's when I was a kid. All the Orientals were always the same. So I joined an organization called Technocracy years ago. Because they wanted to apply science as a social system. That's what they said. And at headquarters, it said all is conditioning, meaning environment shapes behavior. So I joined. But then I noticed there were no Blacks in the organization. And I asked the chief, how come there are no Blacks? He said, let them start their own section. And on the application it had race. I said, what's that for? He said, well, we don't want too many of any one kind in the organization. That's stupid. If you're a crab like Technocracy, I'd invite crabs in. That's a different thing. There's too many smart people. Anyway, I noticed there were no Orientals in the organization. So I asked Scott, how come there's no Orientals? He said, the Oriental mind can't grasp technology. This was like 60 years ago. I said, you're talking about the first generation. In time they will. He said, no, you're wrong. I'm older than you. He pulled age rank on me. That has nothing to do with anything. Honor thy father and mother. So I asked the priest. I said, my mother hates Catholicism and she hates all Catholics. You want me to honor her? He said, no, I never thought of that. So he was telling me that the Lord is so bright, so smart, that he makes it rain to make the plants grow. So I said, I raised my hand and said, why does it rain at sea? There's no plants there. Instead of saying, you know, he said, hold your hands up and beat the shit out of you. Because I contradicted him. Then I said, later on, another priest, I said, if the Lord made the plants grow without rain, that would be more interesting. He doesn't have to make it rain to make the plants grow. And Moses parted the Red Sea. He held up his wand and the Red Sea parted and the Jews walked across. Now God could have put the Jews on the other side without parting the Red Sea. I don't like the stories. They don't make sense. And it says in all the churches, God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that others might have eternal life and not perish. So I read my Bible and it said, according to the witnesses, that Jesus was crucified and he arose from the dead and ascended into heaven. Where's the sacrifice then? He said, no, he's the brother to war. And he dies and he wakes up again and comes home. There's no sacrifice. I don't understand the Bible as full of shit. It's either made up by man because all the different Bibles make God like they are. A guy that gets angry creates floods, droughts, disease. This isn't God. This is a man-made asshole reflecting the values of the culture. Now the Polynesian God in Africa, the God may be the boo-boo tree. That tree knows everything. And you say, that's ridiculous. How do you know that tree doesn't know everything? Well, you could say that. How do you know there's no God? How do you know there is a God? When a guy says, see that bamboo plant? That controls everything. You reject it because it's highly improbable. So you needn't accept the gods that man talks about. If you want to believe in God, that's up to you. I don't. But as long as God makes sense, and there are people that talk to God that tell me all the time, I talk to God many times, I say, ask him what to do about cancer then, what do you talk about? Ask him what to do about heart disease, what do you do about starvation? They always talk to God, say, you are worthy of honor, I honor you deeply, Well, that's flattery, by bringing the teacher an apple, you know what I mean? I never know the person who walked away, to say that God said this is how you could rhyme this, this is how you do that, this is how you enable cripples to walk. Something useful. But what the hell are they talking to God about? So when a guy comes up to me and says I have six kids, I say what are they for? Very few people know what that is. You just don't have kids. In the future you have a kid and try to make him smarter than you, better than you, send him to school, teach him a lot. But just having a bunch of kids is like a kid having a bunch of kids. They think well they'll grow up and think. No one can think outside of their culture. That's why in the Spanish world a person might say muy bueno, very good, but very good for what? So if you don't teach the people to honor the king who was put there by God, you're going to be the king by God to rule over you. If you don't teach them that they say well how come the king has a palace and a big house and tons of food and the best of everything? He'd lose his job real fast if you taught people to think about it. Well is the stock market real? Are banks real? No they're not. They abuse people. Lindbergh's father, the pilot that flew to France, the first airplane, flies across the Atlantic Ocean. He's a great man. His father believed that the banks ought to belong to American people. He believed that if every American chipped in ten bucks a piece and there was thousands of people, they'd open a community bank. And when you borrowed money you paid interest but the interest went to the community. It built better schools, new things, instead of private banking institutions. He said God damn communism. Well what people associate anything they don't like with communism or feminism? Well they don't think in terms of what is a communist, what is a socialist. And so when I was a kid I lived during the depression. I'm going to tell you where I got the ideas from. And there was a Nazi speaking with an American flag and a German flag. There were 15 million Americans sleeping in every little empty lot. This is the 29th crash. And they made Hudson out of ten, 15 million. That's a lot of Americans. Every empty lot there was a guy up on a soapbox, back to Jesus. That's why he was suffering so much. Another guy who wanted mankind united. And I sat there and I listened to him. Another guy was a socialist. And I listened to him. All kinds of people on soapboxes. Then I came up to a communist. And he says, beat it kid. Because there was all adults standing there. And I said, no I want to hear what you've got to say. He said, why? I said, well I don't believe what the Republicans say about the Democrats. I don't believe what the Democrats say about the Republicans. I don't believe what people say about communism. I want to hear from you what communism is. Without editing. He said, what do you mean by that? I said, well all the news I got is pro-American. And it says that this is a democratic society. They should have all kinds of view on the air. On Sunday we got nothing but religion. We should have all kinds of religion. I said I'm going to teach you today about the religion on here and non-religion. What people believe and what they don't believe. So let the American people turn it off if they don't like it. Then our president would get up and criticize another country. And then he'd walk down and everybody would applaud. And they'd hate the other country. So I said, why don't you invite the prime minister of the other country to give his point of view? I don't know if you know this, but the Constitution says, if anybody accuses you of anything, you have a right to face your accuser in court. Well, if we criticize another country, if you don't invite the other country on, I don't say they're right or wrong, but I'd like to hear their point of view. I'd like to know why the Arab world flew two airplanes into the trade center. What made it build so much hatred? What did we do to them over a period of time? We never invited an Arab up to the trade center. We never invited an Arab to tell us what happened. Maybe, but according to some Arabs, we've been killing Arabs for hundreds of years and torturing them. Did you know that? And they had no way of fighting back. So they hijacked an airplane. I'm not saying they're right. I'm just telling you there's a reason for everything. The reason why we beat up the Irish, because they took our jobs away. I don't say that's right. I'm just giving you the reasons for it. So every human being, no matter what they do, if I'm walking down the street at night and three black people come up and they beat the shit out of me, the next time I see black people coming down the street, I cross the street. Does it mean they're going to beat me? No. And I'm cautious. You understand? So when men talk to women, they talk very differently than they talk to men. They say you're cute when you smile as a dimple. I love your hair and your eyes. But men don't talk that way to one another. Nobody comes up to me and says, Fresco, I love your wrinkles. I love your bald head. They never say that. Because they don't want to go to bed with me unless they're gay. And if they're gay, they were brought up under certain conditions that made them gay. If you were brought up by Filipinos, you'd act like a Filipino. If you were brought up by a black family as a baby, you'd say, Dad's right, you're right, mm-hmm, if that's the way the black people spoke in your area. So, I'm not saying that's wrong. I'm just saying that's the way it is. I'm not saying that's the way it is. So, I met a guy that was in the South, head of the Ku Klux Klan. He had a war surplus store. He sold government surplus equipment. So I used to buy lenses. And one day he said to me, what do you do with the lenses you got? Magnifying glasses. I says, I work on optical devices. He says, can I visit your lab? I says, yes you can. And he was so impressed, he said, will you come up to the Klan one day and talk to me? And I said, yes, of course. And he said, well, you're not going to talk to me about anything? come up to the Klan one day and talk to our boys about what you're doing?" I said, Lou, his name was Lou Merlin. He said, Lou, they wouldn't listen to me, I said, because I speak very differently. He says, I'm in charge of the Klan, I'll get them to listen to you. Now that's the way you work. If you want to change people, don't criticize them. So he said, you're a smart guy, Jock. What do you think of the Klan? I said, Lou, it's a great organization, but it doesn't go far enough. You get their ear that way. If you say it's a terrible organization, it's a racist organization, you're a nigger lover from the North, you understand? They can't hear that, so you have to use strategy. People are machines. If they're brought up in France, they speak with a French accent. They're brought up in Italy, speak with their hand. Come on, they eat, it's a good food. That's the way they talk. They're brought up in France, they say, La Tour Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower. If they're brought up in Germany, Ach du lieber, whatever it is. In Spain, Muy amorso, Buenos Aires, good air. So people live in places they call, which is very strange, Boca Raton. Oh, it's a high class neighborhood. Boca Raton means the mouth of the rat. Did you know that? I live at the mouth of the rat. We picked that up from Spain. But people have now associated it with something pleasant. When a guy says, I have bullshit, it means he can't accept what you're saying. It has nothing to do with the shit of a bull. When a male says, you're full of shit, it means you're lying. That's what it means. If you drop a pie that you baked, he might say, fiddly dee. He might say shit, that means, I'm sorry I dropped the pie. It has nothing to do with shit. Do you understand? So you must not be offended by language that people use. They use whatever language they're brought up around. Do you understand that? So women generally do not swear, because it's not nice for women to swear. They also tie a bow on their hair, and they put a white little dress on, and you don't climb trees like boys do. So girls are brought up differently. That's why they behave differently. They're brought up to put lipstick on, comb their hair, wear certain garments. In the springtime, the hemline moves up and moves down, so you have to buy new dresses. And did you know that engineers that work for General Electric and all the big corporations design things deliberately to wear out and break down? How many of you knew that? It's called planned obsolescence. They design tires to wear out. They test them on a concrete wheel for months. And then if it lasts for 20 years, the owners will tell you they think it'll last 10 years. Otherwise you'd have no resale. Do you understand that? So when we say, you're full of shit, it means you're lying. You're lying. You're lying. You're spreading the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. Tell the story. There's nothing good about the United States. When you're very young, you raise your right hand and pledge allegiance to the flag. You don't even know what you're talking about. They repeat over and over again, what's the greatest country? Well, he's a kid. He says, I don't know. He says, this country, the one you live in. That's what they do in Germany and France and England. Everybody's brought up to believe in their country. So my grandfather said, people came from all over the world and made this country great. And they said, Jock, if you want to, try to pledge allegiance to the earth, taking care of it. Never dump poisons in the rivers or the ocean. And work toward helping all nations. Because they all contribute in their own way. But if you pledge allegiance to any one nation, you're negating the contributions made by others. So I liked that. But my grandfather wasn't very smart. He believed there were people that lived under the ground and that had feet like chickens. He really believed that. So he was brought... In that area of human relations, he was good. But in the other area, he wasn't. So when you fall in love with somebody, you've got to remember that you like certain things about them, not everything. That's real. Now, the word love is a terrible word. Because when a girl comes up to me and says, I met a wonderful person, I'm in love with them. Now, what does that mean? I said, what does that mean? Well, I love them. They don't know what it means. Now, here's what love really means. It means extensionality. Here's what that means. There are devices called an extensional device. You can pick cans off the shelf by squeezing it. You ever see that? That's extensional to human beings. An automobile is an extensional device. You can go places without walking. A telephone is extensional. You can pick up, say, Grandma, are you going to be home Wednesday? She said, no, I have to go for a checkup Wednesday. So it saves you from going over and saying, gee, she wasn't home. That's an extensional device. When you meet a human being that's extensional to you, teaches you things, helps you understand things, and you fall in love with that person, the word is extensional. But if you fall in love with a guy because he's tall, good-looking, if he behaves very badly, that face becomes ugly to you. After so long. After so long. After so long. After so long. After so many years. Do you understand what I'm saying? There's no such thing as beauty. No matter what face a person has, if they don't behave a certain way, they become ugly to you. So, extensionality is how much genuine use is that person to you. How much do they help you? Now, a lot of people project their own values into another person. They say that person's very lovable, and they're not. They project. You know what that means? He's a Swede, therefore he's dumb. He's a Polack, and he's dumb. That's projecting out of Polack. Well, this guy is fat, and he's not very bright. That's not true. If you met a fat person that wasn't very bright, and you associated all fat people with not being bright, that's projection. We project like mad as other people, all of us. We project different values into people, rather than saying, I don't know. Those are the most difficult words for the average person. I don't know. When I was a kid, I used to ask people, do you think we'll ever get to the moon? Gosh, not in a thousand years. Just say, I don't know. I don't know enough about rockets. I don't know how to survive on the moon. I know nothing about propulsion. I don't know. Do you think we'll ever colonize Mars? Nah. Well, how are we going to get to Mars? Nah. You give everybody a right to their own opinion. You fuck them up for life. So don't ever give people a right to their own opinion. Give them access to information, if you can, whatever you know about. And what you don't know about, say, I don't know enough about chemistry to tell you whether we'll ever solve cancer or so. I don't know enough about medicine to know whether we can solve heart disease. I don't know. There's nothing the matter with that. But if you give everybody a right to their own opinion, this is what you're going to get. If you live across the way from me, and I see ten guys coming out of your apartment, I could have all kinds of opinions, right? She can be a language instructor, an art instructor, a ballet instructor. But if I give everybody a right to their own opinion, wow, you're going to have all kinds of erroneous values out there. That the Swedes are all dumb, the Polacks are stupid beyond description, the Germans are all dictatorial, and the Jews own all the banks. And whatever you want to do, you can say anything you want to say, that's what you're brought up to say. And you should be proud of it if you're Filipino. That's what this country teaches, that each group should be proud of itself. That's to divide and conquer. If you can divide people, if you only go with blondes, you know what I mean? You divide people. If you only go with black-haired people, dark-haired, you divide people. So if you divide people, they'll never join a common force. All people, black, white, red, green, yellow, slanty-eyed, all need clean air, clean water, and a relevant education. And relevant education means how we relate to nature and one another. Not bankers or politicians. They're irrelevant. They do nothing. No politician ever prevented war. No politician ever gave us anything, like the electric lights that wash the machine. Nothing. They just, they look dignified, they have gray hair, they have a dog by their side, we vote for them. But we never asked them questions, how would they do that? I did, when I was a kid. I said, if I'm elected governor, I'll make prefabricated housing rather than ornaments. So I said, do you own any factories? They said, no. You understand that factories turn out what they got orders for, not what they want to turn out. Airplanes are not turned out by airplane factories without the government saying, we need 400 pursuit planes. What can you turn them out for? And if one company can outbid another, they get the contract. But they don't turn out what they want to turn out. So I said, you don't own any housing factories. How are you going to turn out prefabricated housing? Guy gets confused. Some guy came over to me, I didn't really know him, he was an acquaintance, and he said, I'm running for political office, Jack. I said, I'm so sorry to hear that. Do you understand? My reactions are different than normal. Normal means fucked up. Now you know what I mean by normal. They don't make their decisions based on anything. They say, he sounds honest, or he sounds good, or what has he done in the past to back it up? Do you see what I mean? Okay. Does anybody have any questions up to now? Something you don't understand that I said, or disagree with? Do you believe women can do anything? Engineering, medicine, doctors, lawyers, anything. They don't have to cook and wipe the baby's ass, and pack the lunch and send them to school. They can do anything they set out to do, if you bring them up to do that. And when I was a kid with the other kids, they said, did you ever see a guy take a shit? I said, no. Would you like it? He has the shit power. So we all came to watch him shit. And we watched the way the shit came out and hit the ground. That's where the aluminum extrusion came from. In other words, if you're constipated, the shit is a thin, long shit. If you're not, it's thick. So you become a doctor. You become interested. Now, I read a book once on medicine that said, there's nothing more beautiful than a decaying kidney. I didn't know what the hell this guy was talking about. So I called him. And he said, well, when the kidney rots away, it forms little bubbles, then a pattern. And the way that forms is very diagrammatically interesting. Now, if a doctor looked at a possible, they would go, oh, how disgusting. He couldn't be a doctor. He has to look at medicine as a real physical occurrence. If a person goes blind, you say, well, he's blind in the old days. Today, they say, I wonder what makes him blind. And they find cataracts growing in front of the eye. Then they study that. There's nothing disgusting either. If you look at anything disgusting, you can't be a doctor. Because people get big cancerous growths in the body. When you cut it open, it smells, oh, the holy heaven. So they wear an odor counter that contradicts the odor. So you don't smell it when you do an autopsy. But if you don't do an autopsy, you can't tell whether a person died of natural causes, whether they were poisoned. Do you understand? Every person that dies, they say he died of a heart attack. They still do an autopsy. And they find a blood clot in the heart valve. They say, that's right. I like that system because it's free of prejudice. Now, in the old days, a man would take some metal and he'd figure out that that's a good metal to use for strength. Or another metal is good for conducting heat. And the scientist said, is there any way of telling whether a metal conducts heat better than another metal? He said, I don't know. And he went to work and he took a long bar of metal like this. These are different types of metal. Aluminum, copper, brass. And he put pieces of wax, little pieces of wax, all along that metal. And along this metal. And he heated this end. And the faster they melted, he knew it would conduct heat through it. If the wax would melt very slowly, he said, this is the best conductor of heat. Is that his opinion? No. That's his finding. Got the difference? We want your opinion. What do you know? Well, niggers are lazy. What studies have you made? Of black children when they say, Daddy, what keeps the moon up there? There's no struts and no cable holding the moon. He doesn't say gravitational field. His father is uneducated. He said, what I know about that. And is that normal? Yes, to an impoverished black family. When you go to a Mexican family and the kid says, Daddy, what keeps the moon up there? Or what makes the waves of the ocean? He says, adiablo, the devil makes the waves. Just say, I don't know. But we now know that the wind makes the waves. Does that make sense? On a windy day, the waves are there. What makes the wind? I don't know. Clouds. When they obscure the air, the air underneath it cools and contracts. So when my kid said to me, Daddy, what makes an airplane fly? Is it the propeller? I said, look, if you don't have a crankshaft turning that propeller, it won't turn. He said, well, is it the crankshaft? No, if you don't have an engine, that crankshaft won't turn. Is it the engine? No, if you don't put fuel in that engine, it won't go. Is it the fuel? No, if you don't have oxygen, that fuel wouldn't combust. He said, what makes an airplane fly? It's the many interacting variables. How come you're a good artist? I don't know. I've just been drawing for years. I can't even tell you how come they draw. Did you know that? If you meet an artist and say, well, I've been drawing for years, it kind of comes natural. That's not talking to you. That's talking at you. They should say, I don't know how it is that I draw, but I know I've been drawing ever since I was a kid. Are the drawings you drew when you were a kid the same as they are today? You hell no. Well, how come you got better? I just practice a lot now. They don't know how to talk to you. So I ask kids, do you understand the metal example? That's not an opinion. That's a finding. So when they say, does Fresco run the Venus Project? The answer is no. Who makes a decision? People that are trained in decision making. And what's that? Well, they take samples of the soil from all over America, if it's America only, and they bring it to the agricultural department. There they cut the soil and study what it contains. And they say, if you're growing things in Georgia, it's best to grow with this soil analysis sugar cane for three years, then rotate. To beets. Well, that is not an opinion. That's a finding. Do you understand that? When you elect people to political office, all they have is opinions. They don't know anything. If you ask an agriculturist, what will make beans grow faster? He says, I'm not sure. Well, how much do you need to research that? He says, I need $10,000 to do a research. He does a research project. And he finds out that if you grow things faster, twice as fast, the soil becomes exhausted. So what do we have to put back in the soil to grow things faster? Do you understand what I mean? I don't know. And he said, he said, but no one makes decisions in the future. They arrive at them. Do you know the difference? Arriving at a decision and making a decision? When I say, what do you think? Do you think man will ever fly faster than the speed of sound? He says, no, never. That's an opinion. I don't know it's the truth. Does that make sense to you? When you learn to talk to people that way, there's no argument, no basis for it. Husbands and wives in the future will never argue with each other. Normal people do, because they don't know what to do about differences of viewpoint. Like if you really believe something, if you believe that you talk to God, and I ask you, or say, I meet a lot of women that tell me I was an Egyptian princess in a former life. They do tell me that with a sincere face. Now, I don't know that they weren't. So I say, what were your combs like in ancient Egypt? Before that, I go to museums and photograph ancient combs, toilet bowls, and the garments they wore under their clothing. I say, what was your undergarments like? I don't know. What was your comb like? I don't know. But I was an Egyptian princess. There were so many Egyptian princesses. If all these women were Egyptian princesses, how was Egypt run? So they're bullshit. They don't know what they were. They'd like to believe they were. So they dream that way. And knowing the difference between reality and other things are called metaphysics. Metaphysicians think that they're not real. Metaphysicians think that they see the aura of people. They believe if you go off into the wilderness and meditate, you'll gain knowledge. Not possible. You have to go into a lab and test this paper, see how long it holds up. You have to test things. So my job in an aircraft factory was the first experience I had to testing things. The engineers figured out that the airplane can carry 25 pounds per square foot. That's their math. But when they finished designing the airplane, they piled sandbags on the wing to break it. And if it broke at 27 pounds per square foot, they knew their math was right. I love that system. Because it has no bias in it, no prejudice. What do you think? Now when they finished the whole airplane, they pulled it up with a hoist to 30 feet in the air and cut the strands and to see if the landing gear holds up. I love that system. Because it's real. There's nothing, what do you think, what do you think, what do you think. It's all bullshit. Do you understand? Schools are full of shit. Universities are full of shit. They don't teach people how to relate to one another. They teach you an old language that is irrelevant. You want to change steps? Yeah, sorry about that. Do you have to change steps? I did change steps. You did? I got the mic though, so. I got the mic. Got to give them a break, son. Is there anything that needs further clarification before I go on? If you don't understand certain things. You understand what I'm talking about? Don't leave the line. Where was the Ku Klux Klan, where did that happen? About 65 years ago. Where? In the south. In Georgia. Georgia? Yeah. Now, there was also Klan people all over the country. There were three million members in the United States. So when a guy says, give me the good old days, they don't know what the hell they're talking about. We used to lynch blacks, Jews, foreigners. Some Americans are brought up, they belong to a club called, it's an anti-race club. If you're not white and American, you're a foreigner. And it was called... White Citizens Club? White Citizens Club. That only believed in white citizens. The choice of white citizens. So as a kid, I went to communist meetings, socialist meetings, fascist meetings, technocracy, and found them all lacking. Because there were people up on soap boxes talking about Mankind United. So I always asked questions to the communists. I said, if you're elected into government, how would you prevent corruption? They said, well, when that time comes, we'll work on it. I said, how are you going to house millions of people? They said, well, when that time comes, we'll work on it. I said, let's start a technical branch of the Communist Party and work on those things. They said, you're a deviationist. You're deviating from the teachings of Marx. I said, I'd help any organization, I don't care what they are, how to do a job better. They said, you'll have to leave. But the vice president of the young Communist Party, he said, let's hear them out. And they chased us both out. Now these guys were stupid because I didn't go to criticize. I was going to add something to their way. I do it with a clan. But how do you do it with a clan? I said, how are you going to change people to fit in this new world you're talking about? The Arabs have ten wives, we have one wife. Different customs, different cultures. How the hell are you going to change them? I said, I don't know. They said, I don't know. Why don't you test it? Like they did the metals. I said, I don't know how to test it. I said, read up more on psychology. And you won't get the answers, you may get some. So I read up on psychology. And I said to this guy, Lou Merlin, that owned the surplus store, I said, he said, why don't you come on down to the clan and talk to our boys of what you're thinking about? I said, Lou, they'd never listen to me. He said, I'm not going to listen to you. I said, I'm not going to listen to you. He said, I'm in charge. I'll give them to listen to you. Sudden accident. I said, well, if you do that, I'll come down and talk to them. Everybody remained silent for an hour and a half. And they all changed. But if you didn't, if Lou didn't say, you listen to them, instead of saying, you nigger lover from the north. You know what I mean? So Lou said to me, I have a God-given gift. He has a God-given gift. He can look at a person and tell me all about him from a photograph. I said, Lou, if you can do that, to hell with science. So he said, well, I do it all the time. I said, do you mind if I check it out? He said, no. He says, because I trust you. I said, good. So I took some photographs, which I got, and I projected them onto the wall. I said, tell me all you can about that guy. And this wouldn't work. And this is what Lou said. He looks like a good Christian, a family man, I say he's a war veteran, good American, you know, all that shit. On and on and on until he, about 15 minutes, he said, that's pretty much what I see in that guy. So I pulled the bottom of the picture out, which I got in the Postal Office. Wanted by the FBI for subversive action against the United States. Well, Lou looked at the guy, he looked at me, and a group of Klansmen, about 30, about 32, laughing at Lou for the first time. So I said, you guys shut up and listen to Lou. Because if I didn't defend him, I'd lose. So I said, he goofed this time. But we all goof, don't we? So I ran another test. I played a record, and this guy was talking about aviation with an Oxford accent, English Oxford accent. And he said, I see a skinny Englishman with thick eyeglasses and a bald head. Smart guy, had been to college, and a smart Englishman. I say, I don't know if he was married yet, but anyway, give me all that shit. Now the record plays in the old days, and then the image comes on later. It's a black guy raised in England. He says, God damn you. He's a nigger talking like an Englishman. I said, he was born in England. Everybody talks like an Englishman in England. If he was born in France, he'd talk like a Frenchman. Do you understand what I'm saying? If he was born in Germany, he'd talk like a German. He says, you mean environment, change behavior? I said, Lou, if I took your little white boy and raised him by a black family, to make a point, he'd speak like a black family in that region. He says, I'm not sure. I said, Lou, I trained dogs to lead the blind. Do you understand that? The dogs that trained would lead the blind. And a woman walked over, about 60 years old, she was petting the dog. Said, what a nice dog that leads the blind. I said, ma'am, I could have trained that dog to tear soldiers to pieces, or lead the blind. There are no good dogs or bad dogs, depends on how you raise them. She says, I never thought of that. I said, even a serial killer is made that way by some aspects of society. If your father and mother fought, and if your father beat your mother twice a day, you might say, boy, I'm never getting married. Where you're coming from, that makes sense. Where she comes from, father and mother very loving and caressing each other. He never beats his wife. He always talks nice to her. She says, I want to get married and have children. So you say, well, you're wrong. She says, you're wrong. But you're both right where you're coming from. Do you know what I mean? But the truth is, you must check the environment that person comes from. And because I'm a member of the Klu Klux Klan, with a Southern accent, you know where the hell they come from. You know what I mean? So everybody is perfectly well adjusted where they're coming from. So two Catholic priests used to attend my seminary. One said, I take issue with you. He said, I know two boys from the same environment. One turned out to be a gangster, the other a priest. If environment is everything, how do you get those differences? He didn't put it that way. He just said, no, environment is not everything. So I told him that if you have two children, say a little boy about three or two years old, and you play with it, and you don't play with a seven-year-old, that lip goes out. He's standing there while you're playing with a little boy. You're making jealousy and envy. Do you understand that? So when the little boy falls down the steps, the old boy has a slight grin on his face. Is he mean? No. He feels he's been treated unfair. The parents, when you, if you have a sister and your mother says, you, I have to pick up after you, your sister puts everything away. Why can't you be like your sister? If she uses your sister as comparison, you feel very bitter. Do you understand? The parents don't know how to raise children. Now I'm going to tell you a little bit about how to raise children. When my little boy came to me and he said, Daddy, the wheel came off my toy car, he handed it to me. And I said, so it did. And I threw it in the garbage. I pick up my magazine, I'm reading it. Then that little lip goes up. He starts crying. I said, what's the matter? He said, you throw it away. I said, I'll get your baby toys where the wheels don't come off. He said, well, maybe I can fix it. So I picked it up and gave it to him. And he's working on it and he fixed it. Then I picked it up. That's marvelous. How did you do that? He said, I'm not that little. I said, but how did you do it? He says, you see the hole in the wheel? Yes. I said, I didn't stick another in. He said, I put it together and it went together. I said, that's marvelous. If you say let Daddy fix it, let Mommy fix it, you produce a blob. Do you understand what I'm saying? If you do everything for your kids. So I used to do things that were stupid and wrong in front of my kids. When my little girl walked into my lab, I put a wrench on her nut the wrong way. I kept slipping off. I put it on another way wrong. And my little girl put her hands on it. That's no way to do it, Daddy. I said, how about this? Wrong metal. She said, I'll have to show you how. So she picked up the wrench and put it on the right way. It was obvious. I didn't want her to respect me. I wanted to think about the environment she was in. Do you understand? Okay. So I wanted my kids to learn math and learn how to think and reason. But I wanted that. But I didn't know how to do it. So I used to read to my little boy when he was four years old in bed. I'd read a book about dinosaurs, big animals, things kids are interested in. And then I said, when the brontosaurus met the triceratops, these are different types of dinosaurs. I go, and I close the book. He said, what happened, Daddy, when they met? I said, look, if you learn to read, you can figure it out for yourself. So he wanted them to learn how to read. Don't teach kids how to read. Give them a reason to want to learn. In school, they teach you arithmetic. They say two and two is four. And it gives us four what? That's not teaching a kid how to think. That's a broke memory. So he wanted people to learn to think. One session had been like a college education for most kids that come here. Because they get what they don't get in school. And they think the Venus Project is about architecture. Or a new way of living. It's more than that. It's a way of thinking. And say the trouble with Fresco is he doesn't go into many things. He goes into everything that's essential for you to get when you come here at once. Then about how you put up buildings fast and all that. I get to it later on. So that's why I want to tell you a little bit about the city. So when we built that library, the women marched for a library. They had a march in Madison Avenue. In England. And they had rotten eggs thrown at them. And they were beaten up by some policemen. People that marched for the library. Why were they beaten up? Because the bookstores felt if you made books available, people wouldn't buy books from your bookstore. But the women won our ventury. They did open a library. And people read more things. And they bought more books than ever. Because they knew more. So they were wrong about saying if you made the books available, that was a good thing. But they won't buy books from bookstores. That's not true. So if that worked, I had a place next door to this building. It's a place where you have cameras. All kinds of cameras. Anybody in the community can go in and check out a camera. When you go to Yellowstone National Park, you go to the camera center. They'd like to check out a camera. You want it for three weeks? I don't know. Okay. They'll bring it back to the camera center in your district. So other people can check it out. Now, if you make cameras available, and then musical instruments, a saxophone, a violin, anything people want, just like the library, that's the end of crime amongst juveniles. Do you understand that? Crime is when you show things on television to people that can't afford it. Or they don't earn as much. Or they earn minimum wage. They might steal a box of oatmeal at the supermarket. That's not a major crime. That's not a major crime. But they don't have the means. But if you make things available to people, they do not steal. How do you know that for sure? I said, when I went to the islands in the South Seas when I was 21, I wanted to know what people would be like if they weren't educated in our schools. Well, there, that's where everybody walked around nude. And nobody was a peeping Tom. They'd never look at a girl's window to watch her undressed. Do you understand that? Because they've seen naked women. If a woman breastfeeds a baby on the island, guys don't stare at the breast, they stare at the eyes. Because it's normal. And nobody ever takes more coconuts than they need. They eat so many coconuts, so much better. They're growing all over the place, so no one could sell coconuts. If orange trees grew all over the United States, every place, you couldn't sell oranges. And no one would steal oranges. Do you understand that? So if you read the science of society, where people have access to their needs, they don't steal. What makes a person evil, so to speak? And how do they become evil? When you're brought up in the South, you're told that niggers are lazy, they're no good for nothing, the best thing to do is beat them up occasionally, hang them up to keep as an example. You know, if you're brought up to that, it seems normal. Do you know what I mean? To think that way. Can you think outside of your environment? It's not possible unless you travel a lot. So when I was in the islands, I brought mirrors and beads with me, which I was going to give to the natives to say I come as a friend. But after I was there, just a few hours, they were already in my hut. They thought nothing of entering my hut. And they were giving out my mirrors and beads to one another, and they were making a grin on their face. And I said, you know, being normal at that time fucked up me. I said, what's going on here? They said, you have too many. I didn't understand that then. You know, what do you mean? Why? So then three days later, men and women were pulling fish out of the ocean, nets. And they were throwing fish to anyone standing there. They didn't say, you'll be five bucks. You'll be two and a half bucks. No, they just gave you things. And when they fed me well, I said, anything you want me to do? I don't know what you're talking about. They spoke with a slight French accent, English, pigeon English. But they gestured mostly like, you want to go for a walk, you know. So that sort of thing. So I said to them, will you help me build a canoe? I pointed to a canoe. And they understood it. And they got in a huddle. They didn't answer me. They walked away. A week later, they came and brought me a canoe that they made. I could build a better canoe than they. But I wanted to identify with them. See, the trouble with Americans is when they go to France, they go to the American club. He said, go to the French club. When they go to Germany, go to the American club. You don't learn about other people. Do you understand that? All right. So what I did with the natives is I tried to identify with them. And then they brought me the canoe. And I said, is there anything you want to be? They didn't know what I was talking about. They just gave me the canoe because I needed it. But about a week or two weeks later, I'm not sure at the time, I heard some rustling at night. And I looked out and they were sneaking off with the canoe they gave me. So I didn't understand that at all. I was just being normal. I went out and I said, what's going on now? They said, you know you. I said, sure, I didn't use it. So they took it back. I learned a different system, a different way of thinking. It was appropriate to that group of people. Do you know what I mean? But not to my background. Where everybody did things because they were mine and they were yours. Or you called the policeman when somebody took something from you. They had no policeman. Do you understand? Okay. And when the population built up too fast, the chief got the young people together and said, find yourself another island. Because this island can support this tribe. But if the population grows and keeps growing, the island can't support people. So they said, find yourself another island. And the kid said, how do we do that? He had a coconut with holes in it. He says, you look at the north star with it and the other stars fall in line. And you head your boat toward that. And they had learned those things. They knew many things we didn't know. And I learned a lot. Coming back from the islands, I noticed that all guys collected pictures of nude women. Unless they were gay. They collect pictures of nude men. So they collect pictures of nude women. And I realized it was the culture. That's what helped me. You say, how come you evolved so differently? That's how I evolved. But I didn't go thinking as an American. Why don't they live in houses? And say, that's touch. I thought I was thinking correctly. I was for America. You know what I mean? When you go to another country. When I went to Mexico, I noticed that the middle class, all the wealthy people, every room was at a different height. The bathroom, the living room, all a different height. So I said, why is all the floors a different height? Amongst the wealthier people. They said, the devil doesn't like to walk up or down stairs. They like everything flat. I said, why don't we have a screen on your window? Well, if a bird flies in, somebody will die in the family. So we put a screen up there to prevent birds from flying. They really believed that. They talked with a straight face. But if you came in and said, that's ridiculous. If you saw Indians with feathers in their hat dancing around the fire going, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa while they danced around. He said, that's ridiculous. The Indian doesn't say, you know, I never thought of it that way. Thank you. He gets mad at you. The same with normal people. If you interfere with their thinking, who the fuck are you to tell me how to think? They think you're telling them how to think. So you must say, I used to think just like you did until I saw this or that. It depends on your skills. But you say women are equal to men in any task. Of course I didn't believe that. I thought women were just good for wiping a baby's ass and cooking. Until I went to an air shop once and I saw a woman hanging from the bottom of a landing gear, pick a handkerchief off the ground. Jesus, I was amazed. And I saw two women riding a motorcycle in a barrel. You ever see that? In the opposite direction. I said, iron nerves, I could never do that. Then I realized that women can do anything if they're brought up to it. Now sometimes a male is sorry he had a baby that was a female. So he takes her hunting, climbing trees, shooting. So she behaves like a male. She thinks like a male. That's a goddamn unnatural behavior. She's a lesbian. It's not unnatural, it's natural to her upbringing. If you hate Swedes, that's natural to your upbringing. Do you understand what I'm saying? You can never walk over to an Indian and say, I can have anything you want. What do you want? He says, a Mercedes. He can't say that if he's primitive and lives in the woods. He can only say a better javelin, arrow that's straight. But he can't talk about things outside of his experience. So nobody doesn't understand that. But a guy says, use your head, think. You can't think about anything outside of your experience. If all your friends wear a brass ring through their tongue, you want to identify it. So you write a brass ring. I call that a nothing thing. When black people weave the hair of their children into braids, that takes up a lot of time and adds nothing to the mind of the children. That's a nothing thing. Dancing is a nothing thing. Hip-hop is a nothing thing. Even though you brought up to it. I was brought up to certain types of jazz in the old days. But I then asked myself, what is music? He says, I don't know. So I asked Yehudi Menuhin's sister. He's a famous violinist. He used to come to my seminars. And she's a concert pianist. So I said to her, if a man came from another planet, and he looked at me and he said, what's that thing on your wrist? I said, well, I can't tell you. I can't keep time as well as this can. So if I have an appointment at 4 o'clock, I can't remember that this is better than I am at that. So he, what's that thing hanging from your wife's ears? I said, that's decoration. He said, yeah, but what is it? What does it do? I said, I don't know what it does, but she likes it. Why does she like it? Well, all young ladies wear things hanging from their ears. And then the kids wear rings through their nose. They have rings. They have a stick. That's a nothing thing. So I didn't want you guys to become engaged in a nothing thing, because your generation is now doing that. It's a something thing. Something is knowledge. You understand? I'm not asking you to give up your earrings. I'm not asking you to give up that thing through your nose. I'm just telling you where it comes from. Dancing, music, I want to know what it is. A guy came from another planet. He said, what are these guys blowing on instruments and everybody's sitting there enjoying it? What is it? I said, frankly, I don't know. I'm going to ask Yalta Menuhin, Menuhin's sister. I said, what is music? She said, frankly, I don't know. I'm a concert pianist. Ask your brother, who's a world concert violinist, what music is. He said, he didn't know. Ask your music instructor what it is. And he wrote me a letter. He said, music is a series of sounds, so arranged as to produce a pleasing effect. People like it. So I said, I don't like certain types of music. So how can it be that? That definition doesn't go for everybody. So it isn't a series of sounds that produces a pleasing effect. It only does if you're brought up to it. Like if you go to the Arab world and a woman sings, she may not sing as all women sing. She squawks. Oh, ee-how, ee-how. He said, oh my god, they enjoy that. You know what I mean? Yeah. They enjoy that. So it's not a series of sounds that produce a pleasing effect. If you're brought up to it, yes, it does. So I find myself humming music, because I heard it over and over again. I said, what the hell are you humming that for? He said, I don't know. Because if you were brought up in the world, you would do blah, blah, blah. You would speak any language taught you. And you'd think that was right. And if you didn't do that, they'd think there's something wrong with you. So whatever people think is bullshit, they brought up in the bullshit world. All your news is managed. They say things on the news that you would like to hear. They don't say the Germans just freed a thousand Germans from prison. Or the Arabs did this or did that. You'd think your country was right and they were wrong. Now they're all right to where they've been, what they've been conditioned to. Do you understand? The Jews were allowed to lend money at interest. In the Bible it says, no Gentile is to lend money at interest. You lend money to people that need it, but they shouldn't pay you more than you lend them. It says so in the Bible. Yet the most successful people are bankers. And the Jews were allowed to, in the Bible, lend money at interest. The Christians were not. So the Christians got mad at the Jews. What they're mad at is their conditioning, their value system. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yes. Do you understand? There's no good or bad people. The people are brought up to want certain things and do things a certain way. The Germans wanted to believe that they were the master race. The Jews wanted to believe they're God's chosen people. The Catholics believed if you're not a Catholic, you're not going to heaven. The reason for that is because the Bible is subject to interpretation. When you read it, you may be sincere. You may say, this is what's in it. You may say, this is what's in it. You may say, this is what's in it. This is what Jesus meant. He says, no, you're wrong. He meant that. He says, you're both wrong. He meant this. That's why you have the Lutheran, the Seventh-day Adventist, the Catholic, because it's subject to interpretation. So the problem is, what is language? It's a form of communication that's not relevant, fully relevant. It's subject to interpretation. So we need a language that's not subject to interpretation. Is that possible? Mathematics is not subject to interpretation. When you lend a guy ten bucks, you don't say, I think I owe you two. If he does that, you never lend him money again. So language, mathematics, is not subject to interpretation. Neither is chemistry. When a chemist writes a formula, sends it to Japan, they turn out the same plastic. Identical. Engineering language is not subject to interpretation. It's not subject to interpretation. If it was, you couldn't build bridges. They would collapse. Because I think the beams had to be this wide. He said, no, they had to be this wide. He said, you're both wrong. It had to be that wide. You couldn't build bridges. If engineering was subject to interpretation, you couldn't do anything. So engineers, when they talk to each other, they don't say, this is the strongest metal. They give you the torsional strength, the tensile strength, the compression strength, meaning you can test it and see if it does that. If it does that, you use it. If it doesn't, you don't. Then the big question came up as a kid. Can man really think? I asked that. I said, no, not if they're brought up in a given culture. They think with the way they were brought up. So going back to school, they said to me, somebody invented language. Now, how can somebody invent language if it doesn't exist? I think that a guy probably banged his knee and went, oh. He was, hey, what do you think? And what do you think is so good? Mmm. And that's where language came from. The sounds you made in relation to the experiences you have, meaning if he ate something, and pfft, pfft, pfft, that's where language came from. You're encountered. When he saw an elephant, and he saw the elephant step on his friends, he said, boo-boo to the elephant. And his friends said, boo-boo? You know. Boo-boo meant elephant. So whatever you experienced, you made sounds. And the more sounds you made, the more things you talked about. People never made sounds regarding all plants. They made sounds regarding the plants that were tasty to them. Mmm. Mmm. Grr. Grr. Grr. No. That meant no. Then later words were substituted. But nobody ever sat down and thought up, I've got to invent language to communicate. That's not possible. Do you understand what I'm saying? All right. If you have difficulty with that, when you climb a hill, if you step on a severe incline, you slip. If you step on a slight flat area, you get up the hill. So before you climb a hill, as a kid, you look for flat areas, not steep areas. If you step on it, you'll slip. But after you live there ten years, let's say man lives in a cave. And he's going to be a little bit more! And this is a man sitting in a cave. If you can understand that drawing. In order to get up the hill, they've got to step on the flatter areas. After he lives there ten years, it gets to look like that. Do you understand that? If you go up and down in that area a lot, it'll get. Then when he moves, he cuts steps. He doesn't say, I've got to make steps, when he first cuts steps. That the brain doesn't work like that. I'm sorry he isn't here, but you'll have to explain that to him. That's very important. So when I say man can't think or reason unless they encounter something. If he eats something, it burns his lip for days. He says, taboo! I mean, don't eat that. Whatever sound he makes, those are the words. So they said, in order for man to advance, when I went to school, they said, he had to invent things. And I knew that was ridiculous in school. They said, somebody had to invent the wheel. Otherwise, there'd be no wheel. And I looked at nature a great deal. And I saw when a tree fell over another tree like this. And you pulled it. And you turned it, the bottom one rolled. Do you know what I mean? If a tree falls, and you pull it. Nobody says, I've got to make a wheel. It does something like this. But if there's one stone in the way, anywhere, that stops turning. So he shaves the bark off so it's thinner in the middle. It looks like an axle with larger ends. That came later. First, the stone stopped there from turning. So he shaved the bark off the midsection. I was just saying, when you were away, if a man lived in a cave, he can't say, I need steps to get there. He steps on the flats. After he lives there ten years, he gets to look like that. But he can't say, I need steps to get up to the cave. But if he moves, he cuts steps. That's from experience. So I was saying, I was a little bit confused. I was thinking, I was a little bit confused. I was saying that nobody invented the wheel. When a tree fell on another tree, and you pulled the upper one, it moved. If there was a stone in the way, you shaved off the bark. Nobody can invent anything at all, ever. I tell you, Marconi invented theirs. Tesla invented theirs. Edison invented the electric light. Strictly bullshit. Here's what happened. When they ran electricity through a wire, electricity was discovered. Many years ago, the Arabs invented the electric battery 600 years before Christ. Did you know that? But they didn't use it. Here's what they did. They put acid in a jar made of metal, and it ate the jar away. So they then put it in clay, and it didn't. So they put all acid, so acid-like substance, which they squeezed lemon juice, they put it in a clay vase, and it didn't eat it away. But they used a metal ladle to take the fluid out to people that needed it. If they put one made of one kind of metal and another made of a different kind of metal, accidentally, the metal from this one crossed through the acid and plated this. That's where plating came from. So the Arabs put real gold here, and base metal here, cheap metal like lead, and the gold would flow over to the lead and coat it. So the Arabs would sell it for half the price and blow town. Do you know what I'm talking about? Were the Arabs bad? No. They needed money, and they made something look like gold, which they got money for. And so then they began to scrape the gold to see if it's gold all the way through. Do you understand that? Nobody would give you gold bricks and the Arabs were selling it for half price. They bought it until they got stuck with a lot of gold bricks. Do you understand that? So I was then invited to speak at Princeton University. I have no credentials at the sociology department, but I wanted everybody to come, from the electrical engineering, optics, all the departments. So I titled my lecture, Man Can Think or Reason. That made everybody angry in the university, because they all brought up the belief, man can think or reason. So they had so many people, they couldn't hold a meeting in the sociology class. They had to hold it in the auditorium. Before I said one word, somebody from the optics department said, I take issue with you. I don't agree with your philosophy at all. I believe man can think of reason. So I said to him, give me one example of man thinking. One. Any one. He said, there are thousands of examples. I said, I can't do anything with that. You have to give me one example first. He said, well somebody invented the camera. He had to think. There was no camera out there. So I said, did you know that a thousand years ago in the Holy Land, if you lived in a clay hut, if it was dark, it was dark, they didn't have windows, so there was a little hole accidentally in the clay hut. And if a man was walking out in the sun, he appeared on the wall, upside down. And if you went in the barn, which is dark in the daytime, and there was a knothole, you know what I mean by that? In the barn, you saw cows walking upside down on the wall, not very sharp. The smaller the hole, the sharper the image. And people used to charge two pieces of silver in the Holy Land to see the upside down world. You paid two pieces of silver to go up in the sky, you could see people walking upside down. Of course, they didn't know what was happening. That's where the pinhole camera came from. It's a pinhole, small hole in a box. And you projected into that box people outside. But what they needed was a way of holding that image, so they took bamboo paper and oiled it and put it in the back of the box, so you could see vaguely the outline of a person. That was the beginning. It came from the little hut in the Holy Land. So the guy got mad at me, because I didn't mean to put him down. I mean to tell him where it came from. He said, what about the movie camera? He said, no movie camera out there. Well, I said, have you got time? He said, I've got all the time in the world. He was getting angry. So I said, the Chinese, invented paper in the old days that I know of. I don't know any other people. They called it bamboo paper. And they used to put one page behind the other, like this, until they had as many pages as they needed. So I'll just draw a couple of pages. And they'd bind it like that. Do you understand that drawing? But the Chinese used to write their characters up and down, not like we do. But they made a mark in the corner in Chinese to identify the pages of the book. If you happen to have one of those books, and if you happen to go fast, the mark jumped around. Do you know what I'm talking about? If you make marks in the corner of a bunch of pieces of paper, you should pay for any kind of dot. And go, that dot will appear to jump around. So a Chinese artist drew a picture of a bird with the wings and didn't position in the corner of the pages of the book. And when he went, the bird did this. And water did this. Because he drew water in succession on each page. And then he drew a man walking with the legs in different positions. And it got better. And I would walk. That was called the magic pad. And in China, ancient China, this was thousands of years ago, they had that set up. And so one Chinese carpenter took all these pages and he took a dowel of wood, a piece of wood shaped like this, which he made for other purposes, and he cut slots in it and put all the pictures all around so it looked like a paddle wheel. I'm trying to draw what it might have looked like. Do you understand that drawing? All the pictures. The more pictures you had, you turned the crank and turned the wheel and the guy walked and the guy blah blah blah. You know, very crude. That isn't a motion picture canon, but it's beginning. Nothing was invented like a motion picture canon. There were a lot of different things that led up to it. Nobody ever invented anything. But serially they developed things and gradually language became more and more elaborate. The more things there were, you had to invent a new word. Boo boo, blah blah blah. So when they tell you in a court of law to tell the court in your own language what happened. So you go, goo-ya-ba-ba-ba-ba. That's your own language. Nobody knows what you thought about. There's no such thing as your own language. You understand that? Everybody taught me their own language is talking about their background. So, I went to a Chinese museum and I saw all these different things. And a Frenchman saw it years ago and he machined it out of brass, ball bearings. Beautiful. And he put enough pictures in, but it didn't always work right. Sometimes the bird would petrify, sometimes it would stay stationary, and he wondered why. And he couldn't figure out. So he put his finger in front of the pictures to delay them for just a short second so your eye can pick it up. When you just turn the crank, the pictures go by. But when you put an interrupter there, it just took years, by the way. And then they put a bamboo interrupter so the pictures did not fly by but were held stationary for a short time. Then it worked very well. Edison bought that from the Frenchman and he put it in a box. He put a nickel in it, called a Nickelodeon. It turned a crank, which turned all those pictures. And people think Edison invented the camera. Do you understand? Nobody can invent anything except serially. Do you understand what serial development means? Nobody can think of anything new. So, I asked the son, the great grandson of an American Indian, do you know who invented the bow and arrow? He said, no. But my grandfather talked to his grandfather and his grandfather said, when the Indians used to skin the bear, and this is the skinning of the bear, they'd make clothing out of that skin and they'd put it out in the sun to dry. When they came back, it was half the size. It shrunk. And the Indians didn't like that at all. So they took a frame which they made long before the bear problem and they tied leather strips to it. So it wouldn't shrink as much. Do you understand? When you tie leather strips, they don't shrink. But they had to cut the leather strips. They used natural glass called obsidian. And they cut the leather strips about that long. Put them out in the sun to dry and they became short and fat. So that bothered them. So the Indians used to tie the leather strip to a piece of wood like this. And so it wouldn't shrink as much and it worked. But if you didn't have a thick enough piece of wood, you'd say it was this thick instead of that thick and you tied leather to it, the leather would shrink and the wood would bend like that. The leather would shrink. And that was the first bow. And it went away and made a sound. And if you made them different sizes, it made different sounds. That's the heart. Do you understand what I mean? It's very important that man cannot think of anything new or develop anything brand new. All your laptops are made of radio components. They're similar components to a radio. But as we find out more things, we find out the book, if you're really interested in it, it's called Anomalies and Curiosities in Medicine. In that book, they talk of all kinds of people born with two heads, three arms, four penises, you know, all kinds of different things, with ears on the neck, all kinds of things. And in that book, they talked of skin diseases that were luminescent. So when you got them on your scalp, it would glow. They thought the man had an aura that he was a saint or something special from heaven. Skin diseases that glow, made of luminescent bacteria. I don't know if you ever saw this in Florida, the waves at a certain time of the year become fluorescent. You ever see that on the beach at night? A lot of people don't go to the beach at night. But if you run along the beach, you'll leave phosphor footprints. There's a certain type of bacteria that form in the ocean. And they form where there's motion. They fluoresce. And that's the people that were saints, holy people. But if you read a lot of the books that we have on the website, we have a lot of books, but they don't put it all together. They just tell you about different skin diseases, and different forms. But there's no book on our book list that puts it all together and makes a new city. This city, going back to the city system again, I have to try and tell you how it works. This has to do with public health, these buildings. Everything related to public health, nutrition, if you eat the best food in the world, you're unhappy, you can die of a broken heart. You can't process the food. If you eat excellent food for your body, and your brother gets run over by a mackerel, you might throw up. What happened to the good food? So it isn't good food alone. If you carry very negative viewpoints, feel bad about things, things will never work out. Things, everything I try doesn't work. You poison yourself. You understand what I'm talking about? So the study of medicine in the future will be not only what you eat, but the environment you grow up in, if your parents beat the shit out of you, argue a lot, you become a very negative child. So we have to in the future take children and raise them away from their parents. Why? Not because I hate their parents, but if you let parents raise children and they don't take a course in how to raise children. So we have summer camp where we send the kids to. And in summer camp we teach them that your parents came from the desert. Yours came from Germany. Yours came from France. His parents came from Israel. And the way they think was shaped by their culture. So when you get back home, don't hurt your parents. Be nice to them. Try to reach them. If you can't, let go. It's not that they're bad and don't know how to raise children. They were never schooled in that. They were never schooled in giving your kids a reason to want to learn how to read. Do you know what I mean? But if you let parents raise their children, they're lazimers, Lutherans, Baptists, all these differences which means conflict. Or the wild, wild girl will say to your husband, you never sent me a birthday card. Well, he doesn't believe in that shit, sending you a birthday card. But you get into conflict over bullshit. You know, say, have a nice trip. Do you control the boats and the airplane? No. How can you say, have a nice trip? You know what I mean? If you say to a person, how does a person say, how's the family? You say, my little boy needs an operation and it's $3,000 and I don't have the money. Do you? I say, no. Now, why do you ask me how I am? All the language is bullshit. In the future, you'll be scared. Let me tell you what that means. A waitress said to me, will I be a waitress in the Venus Project? I said, no, because when you sit at a table, the menu lights up right away. And you verbalize what you want. And down underneath, there are automation systems that understand language. But there are machines that can type to speech today. Do you know that? All right. So since you have that, the food comes up in the middle of the table and moves over to you. You have a wire basket. You open it, take out a knife, spoon and fork, and you eat. Put it back in the basket. It all goes down and under. But before you eat, it scans you to know who you are. And if you're diabetic, the food is adjusted to your condition. You don't have to say, well, I can't eat that. That's whipped cream and sugar. You know what I mean? Machines are getting faster, smarter, scanning, and can handle more information. Let me describe that. In the old days, a man would look out of an airplane. He'd say, I'm about a mile high in the pilot. Well, that's not accurate, you know. So Doppler radar is setting up and radar beams down and comes back up and says, you're 5,340 feet, two inches off the ground. No human can do that. So all army planes are equipped with radar. So man can't make a decision that accurately. And about nine years ago, computers were able to handle 1,000 trillion bits of information per second. No human can do that. I don't care what school they went to, where they were born. So the government of the future will have its electronic tentacles into agriculture, transportation, so you get a holistic picture of everything on Earth. No opinions. Fish migration, animal migration, disease. From 3,000 miles in space, from a space station, with an infrared camera, you will see all the disease trees in the long jungle. While the Earth turns under that, you'll get the physical condition of all plants. This was done 10 years ago. Nobody used it yet. You know what I mean? We don't want government of people anymore because people can't handle more than seven things at one time. You can walk, eat ice cream, think of your aunt, maybe when it gets beyond seven, the brain gets weak. Machines today can handle 10,000 bits of information. Per second. No human can do that. That's why that second picture up there has a picture of the government of the future. The one with the Earth in it. And the computers all around it. So if you don't understand that, it's because man can't handle. It's not a machine takeover. I want to repeat that. It's not a machine takeover. It's that machines will be assigned projects that man can't handle. So a person said to me, can the machine be faster or better than man? The guy that designs airplanes that travel at 2,000 miles an hour, he can't run at 2,000 miles an hour. Do you understand that? Machines are always faster than man. The guy that designs the filling of bottles of perfume, there are nozzles that go into the glass. This is 20 bottles at a time. Man can't do that. So it is not a machine takeover. They tell you in science fiction, and in school someday, the machines will take over. Machines never will take over because they have no ambition. Machines don't give a shit. They don't give a damn about anything. If you work your laptops Saturday and Sunday, and weekdays, it doesn't say, hey, give me a day off. They'll give my electronics a chance to heal. No automobile ever says, just get out, just park me in the parking lot, give me a day off or two. Automobiles don't give a shit whether you climb hills, go through mud. No machine cares. Machines don't have a gut reaction. Machines don't say, I'll get even with you. If you smash a computer in front of 50 new computers, they don't say, we'll get you. If it isn't this Wednesday, next Wednesday, or next month, we'll get you. They have no ambition and no feelings, and they don't want to control people. But Hollywood makes movies showing the computer chomping, the guy that made it. Or they show computers taking over. They can't take over. Machines do not have feelings. Let me put it another way. I can design a machine made of a special type of plastic that moves and speaks. You see, my sister was just run over by a Mack truck. The eyebrows will move at the right angle. She said, oh my God, I'm so sorry to hear that. The machine will not feel. It'll fake facial expressions, say all the right words, and say how terrible that must have been. A terrible experience. And you might even cry. And the machine might cry. But it's all actuated. There's no feeling. So what is feeling? Man has hunger, and he hunts for food. If he doesn't, he dies of starvation. Man is petted by another man, and the other man gives him food. And he associates that. And his hunger pains disappear when he eats. Machines do not have hunger. They don't say, give me better oil. This oil is burning the bearings out. Machines don't care. You understand? We use the best oil possible that we know of in all machines. And we use the best believers in motion, because that's the way machines respond. But they will not take over because they do not have feelings. Do you understand that? Now next time you see a movie, explain it to your friends. Because this system is so full of shit, it gives people wrong ideas about all kinds of things. Now when airplanes fly themselves, they would not say, after the flight, I did a better landing than any human. Because Doppler radar goes down into the air, comes back up, and tells the landing gear when to come down. When you're 15 feet off the ground, the landing gear comes down. Do you understand? The pilot says, I think I'm time for the landing gear to come down. And when he goes to San Francisco, there's a pea soup fog. The pilot can't see the runway, but radar can. And the Army, about 30 years ago, took an airplane and flew it from the west, from the east coast to the west coast, to San Francisco, and it landed in a pea soup fog. Perfect landing. They still have people flying airplanes. So it's a matter of another 5 or 10 years, airplanes will be flown by instrument feedback. Not an instrument. I want you to think, because an instrument can fail. So there's 6 instruments that bring the landing gear down on separate circuits. If one fails, the next one takes over. I don't know if you know this, but if there's a power outage, hospitals have generators that go on automatically, keep the lights going in surgery. But they have one generator. They can't afford four. You understand? In the future we will build hospitals with multiple generators. Because we care about people. So a person said to me, I like a human government because humans have feelings. Humans don't give a shit. When there's cheaper labor in another country, they'll outsource. Do you understand what I mean? When war comes, they'll condition you to fight the enemy. Whether they're Japanese, they'll be a... They'll condition you to defend this country. If they draft you into the army, you're putting your life up for this country. All that I'm saying is, if they cared, they would conscript all the war industries so no one made a buck out of war. You didn't make money selling submarines. He sells aircraft carriers. He sells machine guns. War has always been big business. Until you conscript all industries so no one makes profit out of war, they tell you we go to Iraq and Iran to bring democracy. We go there because they have oil or cheap labor or they work for less. They do not go to bring democracy. Do you understand what I'm talking about? Our country will never go down in history for the future kids. Because somebody once said to me, will there be horror movies in the future? If you made a movie of this culture and showed it to future children, it'd be a horror movie. Do you understand what I'm saying? But it's not made as a horror movie. That's why they'll stop showing movies of the past, because they were horrible. But we brought up in it. If you brought up standing in a bucket of shit up to here, that's normal to you. Then where's the shit? You understand? There's so much shit in this culture that we don't even know what it is. And that's why most universities do not invite me. Because I don't just rock the boat, I sink it. Most students taking courses in business administration switch over to robotics. They know what to study for the future. Most of the schools that you go to are obsolete. They're talking about the past. The language, everything in universities mostly bullshit. And they say to me, why don't you have a democratic system? Why is it just Fresco in charge of that? Because no group of people or team ever invented anything. Edison gave us the electric light. Tesla gave us this. There was never a team that said this is how you run your country. Do you understand? I don't want it to be that way. I wish more people would come up with more ideas. Well, in the schools of the future, we condition all children, men, women, Filipino, black, white, oriental, to be improvers of the culture they live in. Everybody will be innovative in the future. They'll say, how can we make a cup better? How can we make lights better? Well, today if you ask people, I don't know. In the future, the whole ceiling will glow instead of a source of light. And you can increase its intensity, turn it down to down, make it any color you want, the way that'll be done is with little glass beads. And the way the light comes out of those beads gives you the color. That's how you get the colors of a rainbow. So, in the future, now I'm talking about the next 20 years, in the next 20 years, as you know, Frank Sinatra is dead. When he sings, he sings all over the world. On television, radio, and people used to say, you can't be two places at the same time. They're right. You can be at a thousand places at the same time. When the president speaks, he's in millions of homes at the same time. So what, they say, what goes up must come down. Not anymore. Not with the space age. What goes up can stay up there on the moon. Doesn't have to come back. So all you tell on the philosophy is bullshit. Okay? Your language is 90% bullshit. When I was a kid, it's very important that you pick this up, I wanted to know how airplanes fly. My relatives couldn't answer that. So I went to the library with great anxiety and got a book out on the Wright brothers. And when I opened it up, I was nervous because I wanted to know how airplanes fly. And so I saw there was a sunny day in May, and Mrs. Orville Wright was hanging clothing on the line. That bothered me nothing. I had to read through hundreds of pages of sunny day in May. My bullshit. And near the end of the book, it said the Wright brothers killed a pigeon and put wire in its wings to keep them out there. And they glided it with the wings forward, back, and up, and down, and found the center of gravity. That was information. The rest of the book was sunny day in May. So I began to outline, scratch on it, books I'd read, and I'd write them down. I had books I was reading. And 90% of all books are sunny day in May. Very few books contain information. So I learned how to do that, and I read books throwing out the sunny day in May. That's something you should remember. And people got paid by the amount of words they wrote. Did you know that? So they wrote thousands of words. And that's why you have sunny day in May. Okay? So now when you go back to school, you'll know what to read, where you're getting information, where you're not getting it. So this is essential for people who don't want to understand the Venus Project. Further information. If you work in the health department here, you can live one minute away in any area here. Now, in these areas, there are water fountains, flowers, there are beautiful gardens. And the way the plants are arranged, they look like the letter S from the air. So you can't see another house. You live in privacy in beautiful gardens. But you don't own anything. Everything is there for your use. Transportation, you get on it, you don't have to pay. If you have to take a shit, you don't put a nickel in the slot and go into the shithouse. You just go in. And there's self-cleaning. And no Mexican women, or Spanish women, or Greek women, or Filipino clean the shithouse. It's cleaned automatically. All repetitious jobs can be done by machine. Now, if you go to work, and you work at my department store, and you sell things, and a woman comes up to you and says, how much is that lamp? And you say, twenty dollars. She says, I'll take two. But you being honest, and you work for me, you say, if you go three stores down, you get the same lamp for ten bucks. You won't be working for me very long. But you'll be working for me. So we're made to be dishonest in this culture. We don't say, believe me, I've got just the car you're looking for. An honest man would say, look, if you get a Buick, it's more stable than this car, and the tires last longer. How can you work for Ford and sell Buicks? So we're all crooks, dishonest, impersonal in this culture. We can't be decent. Buy my fertilizer, your plants will grow faster. But if you're honest, you say, look, my fertilizer's good, but it's not as good as Joe's fertilizer. You understand what I mean? We're brought up to uphold our country, our flag, our armies, our navies. We're all full of shit. And when men can seduce women, they say the things that women like to hear. If you talk to women about things they don't like to hear, that there's no such thing as beauty, it depends on your culture. If you won a beauty contest, the girl gets a job in films. Can you hold that thought? Here we go.! . Not quite yet. Hold on a sec. . If a woman was born with a clay-like face, and she made her face, shaped it, I can see giving her credit. But if she's born beautiful in our terms, she deserves no special credit. Do you understand what I'm saying? Unless she made her face. And they don't do that. So, beautiful women are given priority. And they shouldn't be. So, when you talk of democracy, you can't live in a democracy unless you have equal purchasing power to send your kids to the best school. If you're poor, if you earn minimum wage, you have to buy a used car. And a used car breaks down more than a new car. So you're always in hock. And if your kid, say you have three kids, starts coughing, you say, I can't take him to the doctor, I gotta pay the rent. So you say, maybe in the morning he won't cough as much. You hope that. And if he's coughing more, you have to take a day off work and take him to the clinic. You have to sit there all day. Next, next. In the future, no one sits any place for any amount of time. They're scanned right away. They do just what the doctor does. They look at your eyes, your heart, when you're sitting there. And so, you know, in school, children are taught how to relate to other people without getting angry. Now, when I built a new kind of airplane, as a kid, I want to tell you where the idea came from. I dropped a piece of balsa wood that was this wide and about that thick. I dropped it. And it happened to spiral toward the ground. It went 20 feet. But if I dropped it another time, it fell to the ground fast. So I said, gee, if I design two wings that rotate, not a helicopter, just the wings themselves rotate, maybe I can land in a shorter area. So I built two flat sheets of balsa wood, but they didn't rotate until I S-shaped it. So the wind caught one area and rotated them, and they flew that way. So I brought my model airplane to a model airplane meeting. And the kids walk up to me, what the hell is that supposed to do? They didn't inquire. I said, that's interesting. Does it work? You know, they said, my plane is better than yours. It was. Because it was the first time I built that. And I got nothing but hostility whenever I did anything new. So I stopped associating with normal kids. Because they always said the same thing. I could run faster than you. And if they couldn't, they'd say, my daddy can lick your daddy. See, they're always out there, I can do this better than you. I can aim the gun better than you. Well, competitive. But the first kid that walked over to the first plane I built went clunk right into the ground. And I had no idea. So I said, Jock, your wings are too far back. If you move them forward, it won't do that. So I said, how do you know that? He said, because I did the same thing you did. My plane flew into the ground. And an older kid came over. He didn't say, my plane is better than yours. He showed me what to do. So I said, how do you know where to put the wing? He said, you hold it under a certain place, one third back, and if it's balanced, it'll fly. And he taught me things. But if you say, my plane is better than yours, or I won, that's putting man against one another. But if you share ideas, you can move the whole culture forward. So, in the future, there'll be no patents. Whatever a person invents belongs to society. All societies. But today, if your nation controls most of the Earth's resources, oil, arable land, his nation has very little. He might invade your land to try to take your oil or soil. But if the Earth shared all its resources, there were no separate nations. All the artificial boundaries removed. And we share knowledge with everybody. Everybody is enriched. But in the free enterprise system, they say the money system generates incentive. If you did away with money, there'd be no incentive. They have to teach you that. Because otherwise you wouldn't perform. The proof that it doesn't generate incentive, it also generates incentive for corruption, embezzlement, money laundering, selling drugs, prostitution, gambling. If there's no money, you can't pay off a politician. So they all live in beautiful homes. They all have access to whatever they need. There's no basis for corruption. You couldn't sell drugs if the nation did away with money. You couldn't sell your body as a prostitute. You couldn't sell your voice. Chew Pepsod and toothpaste. You know, whatever it is. Whatever they're selling, you prostitute yourself. Everybody managing the news not telling you what other countries think. It's called managed news. The word democracy implies that we're all
