Good evening. Once again, my name is Eva Omori. Thank you.

We're getting to the fun part: The Transition. Let's do this!

OK. If it were only so simple as to speak it.

When we think about transition, it's important to remind ourselves

what it is we are transitioning to, exactly.

A move from the scarcity-driven market economy,

to a system of direct resource management and scientific application

to meet the needs of the human species and secure the habitat,

It's a transition to reinforce and reward balance,

social contribution and ecological respect,

which is selfishness, competition and exploitation.

At the core of our current model is really an anti-society ethic.

This disposition has proven deeply destructive in the long run.

How to move to such a social model from where we are today?

It is, of course, naive to assume we can predict the future,

given the pressures that keep the current system in place.

All of us are forced into this caustic market psychology

in order to maintain survival for ourselves and our family,

and hence our values are deeply associated to these methods,

whether we like it or not. As we engage the environment,

our brains wire themselves in a very literal way,

And just as a person can learn a skill, and have that skill become second nature

without much direct conscious thought to execute once learned,

we humans perform actions on a day-to-day level

we are behaving in so-called selfish ways at times,

since everything around us appears to be working the exact same way,

sees the shifting of peoples' values as the most important necessity.

How this is done, is related to education

while also attempting to create conditions, which again,

hopefully reinforce these new sustainable values,

There are two ways to think about a social transition,

into a Natural Law, Resource-Based Economy.

which then lays out a framework for a second scenario.

However, the first scenario is really a fantasy. It assumes there is agreement

of the political economic power structure, and the community,

that the human species has decided to do this move in a step-by-step manner.

Of course, we all know it would likely never happen this way.

The train of thought is still important to express

with respect to how we think about the logic of a transition.

Concluding this introduction, it is important to point out

that many who criticize The Zeitgeist Movement

do so not because they disagree with the direction,

but because they do not understand how to get there.

The best analogy to counter this is the argument [that]

a very sick person seeking to get well, will do whatever he or she has to,

the solution to their illness is not readily apparent.

The difficulty in implementing a new social system

The fact is, we humans can change the world quite easily

if we can find a unified common ground to do so.

Again, this isn't the intent of the global Zeitgeist Movement.

that we are always in transition. There are no Utopias,

and even if we accomplish 40% of the move

to a Natural-Law, Resource-Based Economy as we define it in theory,

A systematic move from the capitalist market economy

could theoretically occur through a step-by- step socialization

of the core attributes of the societal infrastructure.

while implementing a new one in the most fluid way we can.

This term socialization is appropriate to use here.

It simply means that the necessity of money

will no longer apply to the given social attribute.

The four core societal layers of food production, utilities, basic goods

and transportation will be discussed further.

To summarize the approach, the task would be accomplished

through the strategic application of technology

and efficiency waste removing strategies,

along with an adjustment of wages to compensate for job losses,

along with the shortening and sharing of the work day,

A critical component that enables the capacity of the new social model

is the liberal application of modern technology

and a systems approach to social organization.

Since the current model is literally based on a technical inefficiency

to keep the system going, the more efficient the system becomes,

Therefore, in transition, starting within a market economy,

measures to compensate for this loss are required.

The four core societal layers are obviously fragments

which require other types of technical evaluation.

these core attributes of our day-to-day lives

are essentially what maintain our general health and basic standard of living,
