</div>I've watched this movement for a couple years now. �It has no legs because<br>
they are entirely committed to the specific goal of building a research city.<br>
<br>
Mr. Fresco repeatedly makes the point that the Venus Project is about changing<br>
culture more than building cities, but he then goes and places his designs<br>
front and center in all of their media. �During a talk in Slovenia<br>
(<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TwVs2nlUb0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TwVs2nlUb0</a>) Jacque told his audience to go<br>
solicit corporations for the means to build his city. �I have never once heard<br>
him make reference to any of the existing commons movements, and Peter Merola<br>
only talks about them dismissively.<br>
<br>
There are a lot of younger males attracted to the movement. �When they find the<br>
leadership unreceptive to thier ideas, they start their own organizations<br>
(<a href="http://rbose.org/" target="_blank">http://rbose.org/</a>, <a href="http://rbefoundation.com/" target="_blank">http://rbefoundation.com/</a>,<br>
<a href="http://www.atlasinitiativegroup.org/" target="_blank">http://www.atlasinitiativegroup.org/</a>) where they flounder about looking for<br>
direction.<br>
<br>
It would be great if we could organize to build some of these cool arcologies,<br>
but I suspect this will only be possible after a few generations of people<br>
have lived immersed in an open, P2P world.<br>
