In this video, Jacque Fresco explores job security, peace, conditioning in children, and the fallacy of justice. As usual, he is the voice of reason.

Jacque Fresco-Looking for Justice
Many people today are afraid of technology for one reason. Technology will put them out of their job. A friend of mine said that we were going to have to get rid of the technology so that people could have jobs. That was a new idea to me. I had always thought that humans would keep moving forward. We do move forward when it comes to the new phones, TV's, cars, computers, and other gadgets. We are not moving forward in the ways that matter like increasing the quality of life, ending hunger, homelessness, healthcare, education, and the list can go on and on. We are not moving forward with new ideas for society that would take us a step forward into the future. The way the world is going now is there going to be a future? I told my friend once that I wished I could have been born five hundred years in the future or even more so I could experience space travel (the sci-fi fan in me). How enlightened people would be in that time. She was quiet a moment and asked me a very simple question that left me speechless. "Why do think we will have moved forward? What makes you think we wouldn't have moved backward like in the movie Idiocracy (If you haven't seen this movie, you should)?" I still have no answer months later. That is a frightening thought to me.
