We owe a lot to the Indians
who taught us how to count,
without which no worthwhile scientific
discovery could have been made.

entire talent

What ?
Why ?
and

How ?
In our view, The Venus Project is unlike
any political, economic or social system
thats gone before it. It lays out a
sustainable world civilization where
technology and the methods of science
are applied to redesigning our social
system with the prime concern being to
maximize quality of life rather than profit.
All aspects of society are scrutinized
from our values, education, and urban
design to how we relate to nature and to
one another.

humanity-to-the-next-stage-of-social-evolution-heres-how/
In the 21st century
humanity faces
some of its most daunting challenges.
Our best resource is to cultivate
our singular abilities of
imagination, creativity and innovation.

play in education.

It is doubt that nourishes the


enquiring mind.
It is doubt that avoids compliance.
It is doubt that encourages the
conviction of ones own thoughts.
