Jacque Fresco - Free Will - Nov. 2, 2010

@GeorgeTVP watch?v=N6S9OidmNZM - is a video on a similar experiment - its finding were six seconds prior to your decison it is reflected in your brain - ie different areas are lighting up which show what your decision will be

My wife and I were watching a documentary on body modification, and this guy had little magnets implanted in his fingertips and forearms and other parts of his body. Over time he has developed a 6th sense of being able to feel magnetic fields and frequencies. His body has begun to tune in to this new sensory connection. Pretty interesting.

@DaveTheRave234 i already did lol

@Ramiromasters id say thats a case foro free will

two people were influenced by their environment to click the dislike button :-]

@osheaad Then listen to his public lectures outside the VP. He encourages people to ask him questions, and if they don't understand his logic he encourages people to question him further. "Each person chooses in the likeness of his ego" Jacque agrees, and he also explains how this ego is developed, and how each choice is made off the logic developed by this ego.

@6XstringXsamurai What documentary is this? This sounds cool

@necridos It's just called "Modify" It's on Netflix streaming. It's mostly about tattooing and body piercing but it shows some really brutal breast implant surgeries and other stuff. It definitely doesn't hold back. Another forewarning - there's a lot of dicks in it! haha, as in pierced, split, tattooed, and mutilated wieners. I'm not sure why but yeah...tons of dicks. lol

@michael0001able Or, two people were influenced by dislike button.

Thank you Jacque for saving my life...

Oh... I must to learn english more.

A good lesson but too disorganized when compared to his others.

Por favor, seria alguien tan amable de subtitularlo al castellano?:)

Thanks Jacque, you make it so easy to understand

@temporos lol I can tell you lost track to what he's saying. It happens kind of, and he also a lot of times say it's best to learn by asking them to repeat. Not speaking to you offensively. Everyone have different periods of learning or span of attention on certain things not of their original or natural interest (Ithink Socrates says this also). I had the same experience with a some speeches, but we can re-watch them all. After a second watch and other vids, you'll find enlightenment my friend.

Near 9:20 can remove racism.

@enlighteneveryone also, IE: in 9:20 when he mentions yellow spots: actually can enlightn ppl directly to racism. Not all (x) are what the person you previously had bad experiences from. It leads to defensive stereotyping, and can later transform into offenve stereotyping. IE:would be many minority communities, who were ever oppressed and react twenty years later (children of the oppressed and living in mostly poverty for few more generations). He speaks in volumes, which can sound like rambling

I don't fully agree with this. I think the environment affects you specially when you don't know about other environments. I said no all over my life to thousands of things about the environment I was raised in, things my parents told me, just many things. I think somehow, If you are awake, you can feel and think what you want and what you don't want about the environment you are living in. So I guess knowing about different environments is what really gives you the freedom to chose.

And maybe those different environments don't need to be real, maybe through questioning everything you can realize other environments are possible. So this is a weird subject.

@AshRNand he's 95, he'll turn 96 in march.

@GCGiorn not true, every step you take is forced by your background. It's never a choice. Fresco had a particular set of circumstances that drove him toward physical sciences, engineering, human behavior, etc.

@GCGiorn influence is a force.

I get that our choices are determined by our environment, but what determines the environment in-itself?

Be cool if they can get Jacque to guest star on the Big Bang Theory

@GCGiorn I can only speak for myself but I'm in a very similar situation Fresco was in maybe when he was my age so I think I can answer your questions about why he "chose" to seek knowledge. The reason I follow in this same path is through pleasure. I want to live in an environment that is easy to survive in because it is more pleasurable than living in a cave somewhere. I was exposed to things that helped me realize the power of the scientific method, therefor I follow it.

@GCGiorn Humans react to stimuli. If their sensors sense pain, they try something new until it feels good. Overtime humans learn new things and pass these experiences down to the new generations who continually have a head start as generations continue. Whatever Jacque was exposed to lead him to where he is today. The reason I support TVP even if it likely won't benefit me in my lifetime is because I KNOW that it can, but I also know it never will if I join the ignorance club and turn away.

There's a difference between ''a force'' and ''being forced''.

Someone ask him about the ball thing and the cliff. He said he had theories on that, I'm really interested in what those theories are. Imagine this mans brain talkin about some shit like that lol!

I know that free will Doesn't Exist ... is just a number of information given to us to Process it then give results , I wished to meet you in this life ... but the meeting is not lost , good life to all 🙃

Freedom IN REALITY doesnt exists ! ...since you cannot do whatever crosses your crazy mind ! LMAO....they only brainwash you - american people- and you kill yourself and your children in the schools because of the stupidity to allow guns in society for everyone! LMAO

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.

I think this man was a true asset to mankind, however, I find his simplistic ideas that we are a product solely of our environment incomprehensible, we are not, these circumstances may have a profound influence on how we turn out, but to think that if only everyone had the right start in life there would be no crimes committed is ludicrous, human beings are far more complex than that!
We would always have the psychopath, for instance, these people are entirely uninfluenced by their environment or upbringing, and these types would be wolves among sheep in Fresco's society, and that's just one example of why his utopian ideas would never work!

There are flaws to your theory

It was from our capacity to find new uses for emotions of great utility that the notion of free will was extrapolated

Furthermore, there exists an impulse to explain: but whether or not we explain in favour of or against something is subject to valuation

With regards to belief multiple truths can exist: it is painful to care it is also painful not to care, which should you believe? It is true that i both love my mum and hate my mum, both are true, which should i believe

Seemingly it makes rational sense to believe in whatever thing provides the greatest advantage, it makes logical sense to believe in whatever gives you pleasure

As demonstrated: when creating meaning or prioritising truths there is choice involved

Let us assume that it is too painful to believe in the thing that gives me pleasure, thereby i choose to believe the thing that makes me miserable, only now may we doubt our capacity for free will, which seems to be mediated by a capacity to endure emotional resistance when encountered: eg, our capacity to endure places upon us limitations

Let us also consider morality: is it self imposed, why are we altruistically so myserable, by choice? Morality would rob us of this notion, morality is adherance to a rule

But at any time we may change the explanations and rules we live by that seemingly placed limitations upon our horizon as individuals and as a species

A strength of will is required to endure harsh truths: not all people have the strength of will and are thereby not at liberty to act to their own advantage or believe the things that bring us pleasure

That's extremely enlightening! Glad I watched it.

Why is no one challenging him?

Morality is an outgrowth of inabilities to manage systems.

-Jacque fresco

It's quite humorous how people can't accept that they don't have free will, your brain makes a decision 300 milliseconds before you act. Whatever decision your brain makes is dependent on your brain's associative system.

Is that an onion on Jacque's belt I see? 🤟😁❤

He seems possessed and robotic.

How many do we need to follow the examples of TVP and what subjects do we need to study to make it possible? don't wanna wait no more, he died years ago now, he turns in his grave we didnt do anything yet with this.. how can we watch this and continue talk? not do? what is the DO, and what to do?

How do i reference to this ? as in an essay ?

None of this can account for the belief in Jesus Christ. Jesus teaches us to reject the world to abstain, to forgive, to love thy neighbor like thy self... Christ Is LORD

That was a long winded way of saying, free will is not really a free choice, as we are conditioned and limited by our circumstances.

BORING

Do you understand that?R.I.P Jacque Fresco

Thanks

He is so wonderful!! ❤

Miss 🫵🏼but thank you for missing 🫵🏼so👍🫵🏼🖖
