Free Your Mind....

This Saturday the Colorado Chapter the Zeitgeist Movement premiered the latest installment of the Zeitgeist film series, Zeitgeist: Moving Forward. I'm very excited about the possibilities of a resource based economy, the central idea presented as a solution to the enormous disparity between the rich and poor throughout the entire world. In a world where the richest 10% of adults own 85% of the world's total assets, and the 90% of adults left are condemned to struggle for the remaining 15% by the greed of the elite, we must consider this as a viable and logical, though radical, solution.



My goal for today is to watch the film again (Hooray for handing out free copies!) and examine it more critically. I'm 100% on board for immediately moving in the direction the film outlines, but the idea still needs a lot of development. I haven't been able to think of much else since Saturday afternoon, breaking out in random diatribes as my BF tried to watch the playoffs (luckily he was just as consumed by the ideas so he added generously to the discussions), so I'm going to break the posts up into the different sections of the film to keep it easy to follow and read.

If you've yet to watch the 1st or 2nd films, please do so before viewing the 3rd (Which should be on-line the 25th or 26th of Jan) or it may seem like the craziest thing ever....but great ideas often are at first:). I urge you to keep and open mind and understand that the idea is still under development. This is a global movement and America is lagging behind! If you find that you are really inspired, join (or start!!) your local chapter and offer your input. The movement's greatest resources are the ideas of its collective members. 

And for your viewing pleasure:
