After much thought as can be found by previous articles about zeitgeist and other thoughts it's pretty easy to see when looking outside the box (the box being where we are) that how we got here is clearly affected by the capitalistic society that we run.
How can we see this? it's simple to see that the technological advancements come from many needs to continue the same life of capitalistic civilization. Where it gets radical is from the near present, with the space age technology which was really cold war's weapons. And this is great because there are none or very few sacrifices of life happening to advance technology.
The space race was really equal to the cold war in a sense that the war had no weapons of conventional means but it was to see who can advance the technology further to get to the goal, at the time, space and moon, travel and exploration.
There's many that believe this to be one of the best times in history for technology, space and science. Exploration was happening everywhere, and not just in outer-space but also in the spirits of the youth movement at the time, which used the now outlawed plants and chemicals ingested to help achieve hallucinations and great experiences was had by the population of North America.
But it seems once the space age and cold war was over many problems occurred and now we see a shift of freedoms and economic value, which is preciseness better in Asia.
But how all this relates to zeitgeist? one might think, the relation is once you look at the way technology has been both used and abused to continue the capitalistic society. Look at your technology right now, what do you have and what do you use it for? from you cell smart phone to your laptop/desktop and the tablets but also on what you use inside such as software for "productivity" you are just a piece of the puzzle which keeps cycling through the goods and services of the world around you.
Buying, selling, using and doing it all again and again, over and over for many, many times - this is the cycle of products and usage of services. There's much undercutting for example when culture is available for free we see a huge backlash by the media companies to stop it from happening, specially when they are the ones cut out of the equation.
Each job in the current is related in one way or another to this cycle and to continue this cycle. If you read the other articles I'm sure this point is repeated but this is why the occupy movement is so powerful and so important. It is there to disrupt the cycle and the fun those conspirators having at the top or those who simply don't know and are sheep following the herd. The wake up is here and has already awaken many millions like those youth in the '70s and it really didn't happen since the '70s which is why it's so challenging now that those in power feel so comfortable in their place. Are able to lie right in the public's face and continue like nothing happens....

Zeitgeist possibility
Just had more thoughts about the possibility of zeitgeist and wanted a quick note, summary on the topic of it.
Is it possible? if so then how?
Simply one of two options (or both):
1. The whole system of money needs to collapse on itself, and the only way this would be possible is if people running the show wanted it to collapse. So the issues that occur on a quarterly bases with economies these days are probably because the population is growing and the amount of money is being consumed quicker and saved by more and more people (mostly the greedy ones whom want much more than they need). So since this is probably never going to happen (as we can see from Bush to Obama the bailouts will continue and federal reserves will make more money when the economy needs it = or as they say is running out of it.)
2. The majority or whole of the citizen population turns their thoughts around (wakes up) and decided that money doesn't work for them so they switch it together.
Outside of these two options (or both) I don't see either of those two options happening (not anytime soon at least). So for now we will all live in a greedy, capitalistic way of life and enjoy it while we can.
Clearly this will last long and I don't mean those above options will occur but rather the life of our species will prematurely end probably because of the way we treat the planet, as our playground by "raping and polluting" it like there's no tomorrow.
Comment your thoughts.

Zeitgeist: is it possible?
The simple answer to the questions "is zeitgeist possible?" keeps staring at me every time I deeply think about it and specially talk about it with certain people.
First, for those who don't know what I mean by zeitgeist, as defined by Wikipedia "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." but I am actually talking about the ideas of both Peter Joseph of which ideas he learned from Jacque Fresco. Anyways all the information is out there and I wrote about it so I hope you know what I'm talking about by now (ask in the comments if you are unclear).
Second, I see that the answer is no and I'll try my best to explain why I don't see it possible in the very near future although plausible and I really do hope it happens, I will help it happen in all the ways possible by me and of course I am a big believer in this Resource Based Economy ideas brought forth by the two I discussed above.
It comes down to a few variables in my opinion that are still far from being solved, there's much more then money at stake for the ones with money and why they would not give it up for anything else in the world, even a better world for them. This would of course mean a better world for everyone else also. They are in control, they feel in control and they really are for the most part. I'm not suggesting that they want to be a dictator like the many violent ones in the past but to be honest it is not much all that different from those dictators that we have seen in history killing millions of innocent people.
You see all people are not made equal. This is a fact. Some people have a much higher drive for certain different things. Others have various things that make them 'tick'. The top one percent is the one that is in certain power, they have been for many years, in fact probably decades or centuries that had power passed down from generation to generation in secret societies.
But there's some people whom only more recently came into 'power', this power is brought forth by the money, ownership or wealth that they acquire(d). There is certain control in our modern societies, the western civilization is run by control, and by no means am I talking about monarchy or socialism of any type, we are not living in a prison state (yet) but it is very similar in the way we have control above us, there are at least 3 levels of police everywhere in north america. this is easy to show as we are all very aware of this: there is local police which is normally the city or town (if it's big enough) then we have the provincial police (yes I'm in Canada) or State police if you live in the US, and finally there's the federal police or national type of police (RCMP for us in Canada).
So you really have to be fully blind to the fact that you are in control. When you shift your thinking your eyes really open (as it did for me recently and why I'm writing this). Of course there's a need for this in THIS society, and in this environment and economy it is very necessary and this is how things run right now, the problem is because they run like this and they are well enough for us this will continue. Let's explore this further and see if you can follow; we have lots of freedoms, they mostly consist of certain choice, the choice to do or not do things and choose between things that sometimes considered good or bad. The police follow the control system, they obey the laws that were set forth by the other entities, they certainly don't make them. being as they are followers, they will blindly obey those laws and their job is to enforce them upon us, the citizens.
We are full of controllers that enforce things upon us as we see above and in real life all the time. And knowing that this form of control would not happen at all in the zeitgeist or RBE system this is probably one of the biggest fears that people will have; if there is no control who will protect them, but you are truly blinded if you think the police protect; in reality you are much better off not having police at all. I'm not suggesting to fend for yourself in the current system but in the RBE based system the ideas that spawn from it are very promising. There will be a much better way to deal with issues, for example rather then cuffing, and imprisoning people we would have intuitions to deal with the problematic people (if there will be such people out there), it is most likely that there will be issues and so the solutions should be based on real science and real psychology and real research instead of what the current system deems as inappropriate, illegal or intolerable for whatever reason they decided these laws which are not based on scientific facts or research or psychology or in fact any research of anything.
The laws are molded to help society remain functional, productive (but in a monetary sense) and meet the bottom line while remaining as civilized as possible to the big medias of the world. They are essentially heartless and just try to have good PR there is no real care in such people, millions will die and they wouldn’t know about it. We can see that by the wars that we wage, let’s not go into any conspiracy we do know for a FACT that people, American and Canadian people, die from these wars in the middle east. This is a true fact and we can see that they have no care in the world to stop these wars in a peaceful and graceful way, because this is still acceptable by the citizens and until there will be a huge uprising there will be no action to change this. Take action and invest your money in changing the way the world works, all controlling civilizations have too much power of the rest of the world, not only their own people and citizens.
Why do you think there are 3 levels of police for YOU? the answer is: It is for YOU, to control YOU. If you get out of line, as we see in the big protests where they harmless people that have no weapons, no protection stand against armed police with full body and head protection, yet they shoot at the people that have nothing. This is happening in our own backyard and we can’t seem to do a damn thing about it. Let’s re-evaluate everything we are used to and change this for a better world we can all enjoy, not just the top one percent or the rest of the 90 percent that either blind on purpose because they don’t want to care and don’t want to think about the way things are or are really too dumb (which I refuse to believe).
Finally I’d like to leave you with a quote but before I find a good one, here’s mine. You need to learn and action what you see with the time and money that you have simply invest it into getting the truth out there, educate your friends and your family get everyone around you to agree that things must change so we can all do it together.

Zeitgeist not stupidity
I came across this BBC documentary called Stupidity (watch) and although I didn't think there would be much new just interesting stuff, I did learn a lot; there has not been much research done on the topic of human stupidity.
This is something that we seriously have to look at much closer, we have to consider why we act the way we do, and what to do about it along with the numerous unanswered questions there is about this topic.
After watching the film I also realized why we don't have things the zeitgeist movement talks about, why we are not implementing ideas from Venus project and in general why so many people agree with human stupidity yet can't really do much about it. The fact is most people are stupid. They rather watch Jackass Movie or read about the new baby Brad and Angelina adopted, or hear some jokes about racism in America, than do something about world hunger, invest and use alternative energy instead of paying billions (not millions) to fund a war in the Middle East for the oil rather then switching to alternative energy as a starting point to stop or at least reduce our dependence on oil.
It's easy to understand why we tend to ignore the faults of our own countries, societies and humanities but ignorance is not bliss when there's so much human potential that is being killed. Humanity is therefore stupid as a whole and although we do have superior intelligence to any other animal on this planet we also have the best technology and knowledge of any other animal but that doesn't make us the best we can be.
I believe we have much more potential then meaningless jobs to make money which allows a small percent of human population to live well, tiny population to live amazing and a huge percent to be poor, hungry and die from war, disease (that we can cure) etc.
Well those are my thoughts, they are backed up by facts.

ZEITGEIST 3 review
Please watch ZEITGEIST: MOVING FORWARD
Great video, not only is it informational, factual and scientific it also is very entertaining.
But that's not the point, it should wake up the truth and show you what this world is like.
I recently watched interviews with Peter Joseph and thought 'when is the next one coming out?' and here we are this one is great and you don't really need to watch the first two if you have not already, this one will do the trick.
The independent made film that has been screened over 300 times around the world in sold out theaters and freely available to anyone to watch, distribute and remix if they wish - reiterates on the information brought forth in the first two with loads of new information and new ways of understanding, new interviews with intelligent and credible people.
More breakdowns and reviews about it will be coming soon... it's a long video but very important watch for EVERYONE.
Comment below and spread the video as much as you can.
