The Venus Project is an interesting organization based on the ideas and vision of Jacque Fresco. The main purpose of The Venus Project is to advocate for the implementation of a global Resource Based Economy. As the name would imply, a Resource Based Economy is an economy (a resource management system) in which the bases for economic interactions are consideration of the conditions of the environment, the needs of living things, the methods we have for meetings those needs, and how those methods impact the conditions of the environment. Below is the most recent documentary produced by The Venus Project, The Choice is Ours. I personally have been inspired significantly by Jacque Fresco, but I do think that the version of a resource based economy that is often depicted by The Venus Project and its supporters relies too heavily on technological complexity. I think that biological complexity has proven itself to be incredibly successful and accessible. This isn't to say that we need not pursue our technological endeavors further but rather than it seems to me that the foundation of a resource based economy should be in biological complexity and technological simplicity, with technological complexity built on top for things that are not necessary for survival.
