I will not debate the ideas of the Zeitgeist Movement, but I will happily answer any questions anyone has about those ideas. They are, after all, just ideas. A basic of the Movement is 'Do No Harm' and no coercion can be part of the implementation of the ideas. Inotherwords, people will want to do them, en mass, or they won't happen. The majority of the half million members of the Movement are new to the ideas and are in the process of learning about them, so there are a wide variation in the opinions of those members, but the basic ideas are not meant to be any kind of fixed dogma, they are simply the emergent social ideas originating from the growth of scientific discovery, which is something that has accelerated to an unimaginable degree over the last few decades.
Social agreements produce a cultural 'common sense' that changes over time, and we simply want to produce a more sensible 'common sense' than wars, 30,000 people starving to death each day in a world of plenty of food, and all the other stupidity that seems so embedded in our current society. And, of course, we want to eliminate the coercion of this existing system, which produces most of our cultural problems, much of which is becoming viewed as 'human nature' when there seems to be no fixed 'human nature' according to science. We seem to be seeing the symptoms as causes of our problems and ignoring the actual causes of most of our social problems. With the ecology, a truly fixed constant, based on land and resources, dying at an accelerating rate, according to science, we feel that is not sustainable and so we need to think differently to survive our past social insanity.
So ask, and if I can answer, I will.
