[Ailist] The Zietgeist Movement and Venus Project

[Lionel Boxer]

Cheri knows Rom Harre.  His 1999 book (Greenspeak: A study of environmental discourse), uses the term ZEITGEIST on page 11 (see my reference to this: http://intergon.net/phd/phdch2.doc).  I do not recall if that book got into the "THE ZEITGEIST MOVEMENT", but the term ZEITGEIST was used in the context of environmental discourse.

In http://intergon.net/phd/phdch3.doc I discussed how activist movements initiated a great deal of the triple bottom line / sustainability behaviours we see today.  For example, John Elkington was originally an activist applying pressure to Shell.  He is now a prime consultant to the Shell board and other significant international businesses.  For example, I saw an email from the CEO of Shell Jac Nassur about a meeting he had with John Elkington and the CEO of British Petrolium.

We study order in AI.  A little focused anarchy goes along way towards realigning the status quo by disrupting what needs to be disrupted.

I've just learned about the Venus Project and would like to encourage
everyone to look into it.  I'm attaching a short book that offers an
incredible pathway forward. With our monetry-based economy about to
collapse, this is an opportunity to step into a resource-based economy of
abundance, joy, peace, and enough for everyone. The world in which AI is the
norm!!
Please take the time to read through this, check on the project and consider
how you and the work you do might support our moving towards this before it
all ends in tears!

If anyone is already involved, I would appreciate hearing what you are doing
and how it is going.
Thanks,
