The Venus Project is not about new cities or new architecture. It's about a way of thinking

If technology does not liberate all people for the pursuit of higher aspirations in human achievement, then all its technical potential will be meaningless.

We are not taught to be thinkers, but reflectors of our culture. Let's teach our children to be thinkers.

There is no way you can think outside of your culture.

Architects are mostly self-centered and their buildings express their ego. [They are] not social buildings to make it more comfortable for people - to make life better for people. The cities have to be designed so people can get together and talk with one another.

War, poverty, corruption, hunger, misery, human suffering will not change in a monetary system. That is, there will be very little significant change. It’s going to take the redesign of our culture and values.

We must look at alternatives objectively, and not try to fit the future into our present social mould.
