In Memory of William Gazecki It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the passing of William Gazecki, a documentary filmmaker whose work played a meaningful role in preserving the ideas and legacy of Jacque Fresco. William approached his work with sincerity, patience, and genuine respect. He devoted countless hours to documenting conversations, insights, and reflections, creating a body of work that went far beyond a single film. In an extraordinary act of kindness and trust, he generously gave us more than 60 hours of raw video recordings—material of great historical and educational significance. This gift was not simply footage. It was a gesture rooted in shared values and a belief that these ideas deserve to be preserved and made available to future generations. His contribution continues to inform, inspire, and educate, and for that we are profoundly grateful. We remember William for his integrity, generosity, and commitment to thoughtful documentation. His work remains as part of an ongoing dialogue about the kind of world we are capable of creating. Below is a link to the documentary “Future by Design”, which stands as a lasting tribute to his dedication and care. youtube.com/watch?v=I1IXWnS6…

We would like to recognize Pavel Churkin for the first ever AI generated transition plan toward a global RBE. Pavel used DeepSeek to produce this outline of what a transition might look like given what is known about existing technologies, institutions, and laws. While it is still speculative, it is the most extensive attempt to outline what a transition might look like using current AI capabilities. An interesting result. While the original is in Russian, we have included a link to an English translation. Take a look! resource--based--economy-blo…

What is The Venus Project's relationship with the regenerative movement? The regenerative (ReGen) movement has arisen as an alternative to 'extractionist' practices of modern industry in which systems take from nature but do not give back. Extractionist practices result in offsetting the material and energetic balance of the planet and reduce biodiversity. The Venus Project shares in common with the regenerative movement a mutual respect for natural cycles and designs that coincide and serve such cycles, systems that participate in the 'real economy', not just the monetary system. We both seek global change. Where we are different is in the scope of what needs to change.

See more from our recommended book list: thevenusproject.com/learn/re… From our recommended reading list: "Biopiracy: The Plunder of Nature and Knowledge" by Vandana Shiva This book exposes how Western corporations and institutions patent and profit from indigenous knowledge and biological resources, often without consent or compensation. Shiva argues that this exploitation constitutes a new form of colonialism, where traditional communities are dispossessed of their ecological heritage and intellectual contributions. The book challenges the ethical and legal foundations of global intellectual property regimes, advocating for biodiversity conservation and indigenous rights.

What is The Venus Project's relationship with bioregionalism? Bioregionalism is consistent with The Venus Project's fundamental principle of harmonizing with natural law. The scientific concept of a 'bioregion' follows from a body of evidence arising out of ecology and geophysics. Through this concept, we can identify non-arbitrary (natural) boundaries in an environment and within those boundaries calibrate relationships accordingly. Many are aware of the concept of 'carrying capacity' as it pertains to Earth. Through the analysis of natural boundaries of a bioregion, we can determine the carrying capacity of a select region of Earth and design systems to coincide with that environment's gifts and limits. In essence, instead of decisions following from whims or opinion or priorities of markets, industry, or governments, design decisions follow from a survey of the biogregion's supplies and constraints and internal cycles and interdependencies. The consequence is an ecological geography rather than the political geographies of nations. Natural boundaries over national boundaries.

From our recommended reading list: "Reinventing the Sacred: A New View of Science, Reason, and Religion" by Stuart Kauffman In the tradition of E. O. Wilson, Stuart Kauffman calls for the integration of science and the humanities to resanctify the natural world and exceed politics. Facts and values need not exist worlds apart.
