Our plan's initial procedure requires a large number of child processes to spawn and complete before we can execute the next procedure. This is not something that is impossible to execute or difficult to understand.

I am a computer geek. I don't understand grand plans and grand actions that take forever to execute.

Do you have any actual criticisms or do you just plan on ridiculing every explanation I proffer as "it is slow and will never work"?

When I first saw the original zeitgeist movie I was excited by the ideas it presented. I enthusiastically shared it with a few family members.

Then I did some fact checking and realized many of the major points made in the movie were simply false. Boy was it embarrassing having to go back and explain it to those family members after promoting the movie so much. I guess I did things in the wrong order.

Looking back on it, I don't understand why anyone would intentionally make shit up to motivate or scare people when the truth is crazy enough...

The point is, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

That is not a plan. That is the slowest OODA loop ever.

We are in the awareness and educational phase of our operation. Meaninful action can only be achieved after critical mass of understanding is achieved. This is meant to be a concerted and global effort. But, we do expect to start regionally with a test city as a proof of concept. I understand how this might seem frustrating for you to understand, but there is a methodology and plan involved in what we are doing.

Which mean their OODA loop is not only superslow, but missing the A!

Jacob Spinney has an excellent YouTube video critiquing the Venus Project he just uploaded an hour ago:

It's 54:13 long, and I have only watched the first 5 minutes, but he has already exposed and destroyed several logical fallacies.

because their stuck on the utility calculation 

Why don't ya do the action?

Which is why we are urging people to action, to support these ideas and goals, and to help others demand a change in the way things are being done. It would be unrealistic to produce these results on a global scale with any immediacy. I do sympathize with those who are impatient and would like to make things better RIGHT NOW, but I severely doubt it will happen this way.

Never said that, but execution is the hallmark of success.

Are you saying nothing good ever came from conversation?

Whatever, man. Your movement is a talker, not a doer.

Yes, we make educational and informational material available for all to see, free of charge, to learn about ideas and technologies that they won't be exposed to by the main stream media. We also promote these ideas and technologies by holding free public events for the community and help organize them into projects that can have direct impact on that community. We also develop the technical infrastructure to help make this information accessible to more people by undertaking massive, volunteer based translation efforts for dozens of languages. We also ask for funds only for specific projects when necessary in order to develop an idea fully.

Individual members also produce presentations and [urlhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2nxCp9Hwxs]video[/url] series highlighting the various technical and scientific breakthroughs being made on a daily basis that will help bring this idea to fruition. We also maintain a website that continuously updates with information about such technology and research (ad-free btw) for all to access and learn from. Not to mention all the general street activism that we engage in every day in nearly every country.

So sure, if you wish to ignore the ideas and real technologies and research we present and all of the educational and awareness efforts we engage in, then yes, all we do is "make and promote media".

Better to just join a local hackerspace and work on cool stuff instead of funding endless parade of movies.

Reprap, thing-o-matics, welding, solar panel, etc.

So basically as chodpaba says, "the Zeitgeist Movement makes [media promoting the movement], holds events to promote the [media] they make, and raises money to make more [media]."

The Austin, TX chapter has a weekly public access television show that also showcases these ideas and related technologies. It's going on right now if you want to check it out!

We recently held a global event called Z-Day in which we engage our local community with presentations and information about these ideas. We also independently held a worldwide release of Zeitgeist Moving Forward in hundreds of theaters and dozens of languages. The Venus Project is currently seeking donations to make a major film that would better depict life in an RBE. I am urging them to accept bitcoins as donations.

Thanks for keeping an open mind! Also, the link to your website is missing the s in stills so the link doesn't work.
