Who wants to get together and watch Paradise or Oblivion! It the new hour-long documentary from the Venus Project! Ok, Well, it is not actually available online to watch just yet. I have been informed that it is complete, but translation is not yet done. I am going to go out on a limb here in assuming that it might be posted by Sunday.

When: Sunday 5:30PM to 7:30
Where: My house
Email back or call me if you don't already have the address - (971) 533-7392

The following is a description of the video, taken from the website: http://www.paradiseoroblivion.com/ Where the video is also to be available to watch when it is released.

Paradise or Oblivion is a free online documentary created by The Venus Project. Original music by Carly Paradis (www.carlyparadis.com) from her album "They Have Been Watching".

This documentary details the root causes of the systemic value disorders and detrimental symptoms caused by our current established system. This video presentation advocates a new socio-economic system, which is updated to present-day knowledge, featuring the life-long work of Social Engineer, Futurist, Inventor and Industrial Designer Jacque Fresco, which he calls a Resource-Based Economy.

The film details the need to outgrow the dated and inefficient methods of politics, law, business, or any other "establishment" notions of human affairs, and use the methods of science, combined with high technology, to provide for the needs of all the world's people. It is not based on the opinions of the political and financial elite or on illusionary so-called democracies, but on maintaining a dynamic equilibrium with the planet that could ultimately provide abundance for all people.

Paradise or Oblivion, by The Venus Project, introduces the viewer to a more appropriate value system that would be required to enable this caring and holistic approach to benefit human civilization. This alternative surpasses the need for a monetary-based, controlled, and scarcity-oriented environment, which we find ourselves in today.

*This is NOT the "major motion picture" that The Venus Project is working towards but rather is a 52 minute documentary to introduce the aims and proposals to new people.

Can't make it tonight. Ate a whole large four-cheese and garlic pizza the other day and, while extremely delicious, all the wheat and dairy overloaded my system and I am now sick. =(
