My name is Jacque Fresco.
I'm project director of The Venus Project in Venus, Florida.
War is a word which was invented
when one territorial group of people
took away other people's lands.
They used force and violence, and war was a media for doing that.
You shot other people, stole their women and
their resources for your own gain.
And nations have been at war ever since Man invented weapons.
And as long as you invent weapons, you're going to have war.
And war is the means of protecting everything you've stolen from others.
No nation starts out very big. They start out smaller
and take land away from other people.
And they don't take it by invitation.
They weren't invited to take over the land.
They took it by killing, force and violence.
And war is the most inappropriate way of solving the differences.
That's why I'm against the Pentagon and the military.
Because they majorly should be concerned with how to bridge the differences
and bring nations together towards a common purpose
namely, taking care of the environment, one another
and restoring the damaged environment.
That's what I'd like to see in military systems.
I would like to see, instead of training millions of soldiers
to be killing machines,
I'd rather train them in being problem solvers.
Send them back to school
teach them social science, social things, psychology, sociology
so they can add to the culture, not be destructive.
