itis very common for people to say how you grow up is what type of person you'll be. i agreed and understood his first point of how human behavior is learned and is progressive on what type of environment you are exposed to. what caught me by surpise is how easily he put up a rebuttal towards why do children have different fates when they are grown into similar enviroments and how they are never the same since the experiences are always different. this gave me hope that one day people can also understand this as we do with why we mimic our enviroments.
If humans are responsible for changing their values, they are inherently responsible for their values, as change requires ownership and accountability of what already exists😂😂😂 Come on bro study philosophy don't believe anybody u see on youtube
We call for a straightforward approach to the redesign of a culture, in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt, environmental degradation and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but totally unacceptable. The Venus Project is a veritable blueprint for the genesis of a new world civilization, one that is based on human concern and environmental reclamation. One fundamental premise is that we work towards having all of the Earth’s resources as the common heritage of all the world’s people. Anything less will simply result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems inherent in the present system.
So simplistic. Do deterministic. "If this...then this." Wow. If we are "victims of our culture" then why do people in EVERY culture do exactly the same hurtful things to others. There's much more at play in human behavior than just environment. There's stuff happening on the inside of people that moves them toward certain behaviors. People have a will and they make choices. "No one misbehaves?" Ha ha ha. Oh my. Anyone who has had their own children knows this is just not true. This speaker sounds like a disciple of Alfred Adler (Understanding Human Nature) who really missed the boat on some things. This video totally misses the simplest thing we all observe: that kids growing up in the same home with exactly the same fair and just treatment (not all parents show favoritism) end up living completely different lives. And by the way, jealousy and envy come from within the person and everyone is responsible for their own actions. The is simply the old "nurture argument" that has clearly been adjusted by the "nature argument." Anyone who knows people (and themselves) knows that BOTH nature and nurture play a part in human behavior. And anyone who REALLY knows people knows that there is a layer below nature and nature that drives people to do what they do.
Julia Bender Agreed! there are also many other factors, like the different chemicals in our brains, that are responsible for different behaviors, each drip at different rates, in just about everyone.. this is a huge factor in how character and behavior is formed..
you should check out his other lectures and read his suggested reading. Believe me, he knew what he was talking about. Spent his whole life studying human behaviour, among other things. I am not saying you're wrong, I'm simply saying that this video is only a minimal part of his theory. You cannot dismiss 85 years of research basing yourself on a n 8 minute long video. Just check it out, out of simple curiosity. In a lot of his lectures, he answered many questions from the audience and a lot of the are similar to yours. Believe me, you are not the first one to disagree with him! And to answer your point about the two children, i don't think you got what he was trying to say. It is physically impossible for two bodies to occupy the same space at the same time, hence, no one ever has the same environmental experience. It seems redundant and odd at first but give it a little thought. It's much more complicated than it seems. The factors shaping human behaviour can be so minimal that we wouldn't even know where to begin to measure them. I believe that we are born with some natural structure that comes from genetics, but even this natural framework is shaped and changed and updated by our outer experience. The only moment of pure 'human nature' if you will is maybe at the earliest stages of an embryo's life. However, I'd argue that even then, the embryo senses their mother's stress, the outside world, etc... all of these have an effect, however small. In fact, I believe that the smaller (less developed) you are, the more prone to shaping from the outside world you will be, as your body is in constant development. As you grow older, there is less room for improvement if you will. That is why it is harder for older people to learn than for children, for example. If you raise a baby in an empty room forever, what do you think they'd be like? They may have all the natural qualities you'd like, but if they aren't stimulated, if there is no input, nothing will develop. Much like food. If we don't eat we die. If we don't experience, we never live.
@King Kumite he never once made fun of them. He used them as examples. As he states, everyone is different and so is our perspective on things. You have that victim mentality. So you assume he's making fun. I view it as education. He simply used them as examples.
Not only did it age well, he pin pointed the exact direction of society now. Western Cultural environment of acceptance of all has created the exact result which unfortunately you in this case and you prove it 1000%. Fine wine is what this lecture is. Fired fast? do you even notice your brain state? i hope after 11 months you have looked around that narrow mind.

I wholeheartedly agree with the speaker. We are not responsible for our conditioning, we are only responsible for changing it.
If humans are responsible for changing their values, they are inherently responsible for their values, as change requires ownership and accountability of what already exists😂😂😂

wow he is a really awesome professor. I wish he was mine!
BRILLIANT 🤌🤌

Love Jacque Fresco but he is incorrect in his statement that cultural norms drive gender career/profession choices
He is right, we dont have anything of our own just inheritance
@@kayyum698 you really believe that?
@@apositivesoulexperienceexp5465 yes comment is 3 years old still i feel it is.
I am not convinced about all of this... i mean it really is kinda true
This speech did not age well 😂😂
Oh, how so.
@@markarnold2257 he make fun of asians,Blacks.Gays,Irish if he did that today he would be fired so fast

This comment is a prime example of what is being said, just think about what u said carefully, (saying it in the most subjective way possible)
