程度副詞

A Resource-Based Economy in its working state is really quite simple

情態副詞

deceptively simple given the complexity, imbalance

confusion and uncertainty of the monetary-market system

that is completely decoupled from the natural world, from human needs.

It exists as a mere abstraction floating in the air.

In Part Three: Objections and Projections

I will touch upon some of the more common criticisms of this direction

along with what we, those of us that identify with this

in a very sincere way, are likely to expect

as this direction gains more attention across the world.

I think it's really important we come to terms with the inevitable hostility

that arises when we broach the deep-seeded subjects that we do.

It's important to remember that we are all victims of culture

as has been pointed out by previous speakers

coming to terms with the growing social problems

and do see the Zeitgeist Movement, the Venus Project and the Resource-Based Economy

as a viable solution, there are also many

that have a very powerful identification with the current model

and in all seriousness, view our work as an extreme threat

to their identity, and it's something that unfortunately I think will grow.

Then in Part Four, I will talk briefly about the transition

something that's also been alluded to very well.

I come at it from a similar angle although a little more general.

The complexity and lack of predictability it holds is often illusive

to those that immediately hear about this information

and ask the immediate question "How do we do it?" Changing the world is not easy

especially when the concept presented is probably the most radical

social shift this species has ever faced or considered.

But this is why we're here. The core interest of the Zeitgeist Movement is...

The defining interest is to put our heads together

to work together, to figure out how to actually get this done.

If anyone, by the way, is simply waiting for me to tell them what to do

or anyone else to guide their way, sorry you're going to be disappointed.

The Zeitgeist Movement is not a follow-the-leader movement.

The only way this movement will work is if each one of you in this audience

each one of you listening to this webcast or viewing this event archive

in the future, sees the merit of this and is prepared

to take the time and sacrifice to become an expert

on this material and be able to transmit it to your fellowman in a fluid way.

I've ended two of my previous films with "The Revolution is now" and I want to clarify:

The Revolution is a revolution of thought.

It's a revolution of creativity, of ingenuity, a revolution of consciousness.

I want to make it very, very clear that this

is an information-based movement. It's an enlightenment of understanding

A wise man once said "The most profound understandings

tend to be the most obvious, yet overlooked."

I want everyone to keep that in mind as I run down the following section

for as elementary as what I'm about to point out may seem

these issues are far from being given the relevance they deserve.

Those who say that tend to not understand what you are saying.

A natural law is a property of what we call nature

or the whole of  the physical phenomenon around us

[It] doesn't matter how much faith I have

to believe I can jump up right now and dance on the ceiling.

The law of gravity simply won't allow it.

Since the effects of gravity are also measurable and predictable

becoming a tool, this knowledge becomes the basis of inference

which we use to make more accurate decisions.

Once this law was discovered, all sorts of possibilities began to emerge

and the world became a little bit more intelligent about what was possible

and what wasn't, when it comes a phenomenon related to it.

It builds up upon... We build upon natural law.

As another example, before the germ basis of disease

was discovered by Louis Pasteur, there were many ineffective

and outright dangerous treatments for human sickness

(as anyone who studies medical history will know)

suspicious and often superstitious methods

and wonder, how could we possibly have been so misinformed?

Yet, we seldom recognize this trend as a universal

and how it applies to us today. Most rarely consider

that many of our current modern practices might be in the same boat

to be looked back upon by future human societies which will wonder

Didn't they see the natural law referent for that issue?"

The point here is that the evolution of scientific discoveries

discoveries which always originate from feedback

from the natural world, constantly refine our understandings

(if we're open to receive it, which is a conversation in and of itself).

It creates dependable, testable reference

that we can use to assist in our reasoning about the problems

The process of transfer or reason from a given law
