    What do you think about Jacque Fresco and his views? In my perspective, he was somewhat disillusioned about the ultimate utopian society. I do not in any sense despise his exquisite knowledge; on the contrary, I admire his rationality and the acquired wisdom throughout his long life. However, the Venus project is just utter nonsense for one single reason. People will never ever change, as egalitarian and peaceful the society would not be, there will always be someone who will want more than others and that will ruin the system altogether. It is simply impossible to structure such a society and not only that; there are various remarks of his that are highly skeptical, probably will not find a link at the given moment, but there is a video where he talks about huge sphere-shaped glass capsules underneath the water, it just seems rather improbable. With all the respect to Jacque, I strongly affirm that he had a tunnel-visioned dream of unrealistic society.
