The 100-Year-Old Man Who Lives in the Future

quote [ To reach the Venus Project Research Center, a utopian compound created by a 100-year-old futurist, drive through vast stretches of fields, orchards, and dirt roads in south-central Florida. There's little cell phone service and no signs of other humans on the way to a white gate. A sandy path flanked by lush tropical trees leads to a cluster of white dome-like structures. Inside one sits Jacque Fresco, hunched on a couch within his own model of an ideal society. ]

Jacque Fresco is a hack and is no real futurist who has no new or original ideas of future technology.

He is mostly known for his views in this cult like movement called Zietgeist and that his designs will be the forefront to this movement. His Venus Project is just his name for the Zietgest movement.

Fresco has his own videos on Youtube about his work and Zietgeist, and the other Zietgeist people like to reference Fresco's work.

This man is no Syd Mead or a Buckminster Fuller.

I am quite sure it is the beacon of order - with the purity of an ant colony and the beauty of a flawless pearl
