What is RBE
RBE is short for Resource-Based Economy, a system where goods and services are accessible without the need for commodity-money exchange. The term was coined by Jacques Fresco, who posited that a resource-based economy can only be achieved when all natural resources are recognized as the common property of all inhabitants of the planet.
Fresco’s theory of RBE is based on the belief that the Earth is abundant in resources, capable of providing everyone with the necessities for a comfortable life. From a scientific standpoint, there are no apparent technical barriers to this vision.
A resource-oriented economy is often defined as one where the efficient and rational utilization of resources drives growth. Various works explore ways to enhance the efficiency of such an economy through technological advancements, particularly in resource management technologies.
The term “resource-based economy” became widespread due to the popularization of Jacques Fresco, particularly in his work with The Venus Project.
The Venus Project serves as the conceptual foundation for the resource-based economy (RBE). Essentially, The Venus Project embodies the principles and ideals of the RBE. The name Venus itself comes from the name of Venus, Florida, USA, where Jacques Fresco and Roxanne Meadows built a research center and called it “The Venus Project”.
Objectives:
1. Worldwide recognition of the Earth’s natural resources as the heritage of all mankind;
2. The abolition of artificial boundaries that separate people;
3. Transition from money-oriented national economies of individual countries to a worldwide resource-oriented economy;
4. Stabilization of the world population through increased education and voluntary birth control;
5. Restoration of the environment;
6. Reconstructing cities, transportation systems, agricultural and industrial plants into energy-efficient, environmentally friendly systems capable of meeting the needs of all people;
7. Gradual complete abandonment of forms of governance such as corporations and governments (local, national or transnational);
8. Exchange of technologies and their utilization for the benefit of all people;
9. Development and utilization of clean renewable energy sources;
10. Making only the highest quality products for all people in the world (e.g., through abandoning the concept of planned obsolescence);
11. Researching any large construction projects in advance for possible environmental impacts;
12. Encouraging creativity and creativity in human beings in all its manifestations;
13. Getting rid of vestiges of the past (nationalism, fanaticism) and prejudices by increasing the level of education of the Earth’s population;
14. Elimination of any kind of elitism, including technical elitism;
15. Developing methodologies through scientific research rather than random opinions;
16. Creating a new language of communication based on bringing it closer to the world around it (see General Semantics);
17. Providing individuals not only with life’s necessities but also nurturing their individuality through intellectually stimulating tasks;
18. Preparing people intellectually and emotionally for the changes to come.
We want to make a full-length feature film that will answer many questions and show how humanity can achieve these goals in the near future.
Help us build an audience of people willing to see such a movie. Share this information with other people. Become part of this massive project. In a month, more than two billion people could have this information if you share it. You are a link in the transfer of information. Share – send this information to your friends and family. The choice is yours.
Also, with the help of an unconditional basic income, it becomes possible to reduce working hours in many areas of activity. In addition, widespread automation is already replacing human labor, and productivity is only growing.
And most importantly, endless GDP growth with limited resources is impossible. This is a dead end. It took millions of years to form the minerals that are being extracted every second, and one day natural resources will definitely run out if we do not change our attitude towards them.
We can make the transition to a resource-based economy in an evolutionary way, taking into account the interests of all people on the planet. If you have no idea how this is possible, join our audience.
We want to produce a feature film that addresses numerous questions. Join us in building an audience of individuals eager to watch this movie. Spread this information to others and become part of this ambitious project. If you share this information, over two billion people could have access to it within a month. You play a crucial role in spreading this message. Share it with your friends and family. The choice is ours.
