Peter Joseph's documentary, 'Zeitgeist: Moving Forward' cites a long list of social and economic problems and then in end proposes that the great solution to all these problems is more technological automation. In other words, rather than suggesting even a single socioeconomic reform, the filmmaker claims that the best way to solve all of our economic and social problems is by simply using technology to exponentially increase unemployment. I'm not sure whether Peter Joseph is trying to be conniving, is just plain stupid, or is simply like so many other Americans who are far too fixated on the next computer gadget and irreparably brainwashed with simple-minded and delusional ideologies to come up with any genuine social and economic advances. In any case, while much of the critique in 'Zeitgeist' is valid and even undeniable, it ultimately proves to be nothing more than a 2 1/2 hour infomercial.

A really, really good documentary...but, "preaching" what Buddha and countless others preached over the time, things like "be good" ..."help others"...etc, etc ...all these discussions around how we should be, how we could be, and how we are not, do not really help, they do no harm also, don't get me wrong, they might actually help on the long run, which i hope, but, i know me, as an example ... i am aware of these things, and still, do nothing about it ... i don't like it, i'm scare of it, but still do nothing besides giving it 2-3 thoughts, tell my friends about the movie/doc, and go on with my pursue for money and "wealth"...so getting back to "Buddha" ...should i understand, that we, the modern civilization, just discovered we are retards? seriously?...offcourse we are, history knows better, but the sad thing is, we go on, and do it again, and again, and again ...and yes, might not be genetic, but it's close ... it's almost impossible to ask for current generations to change, but we could prepare the ground for future generations...such great words ..."prepare the ground for future generations" ...and such clichés ...

I'll admit that I found the first half hour to be a bit boring, but others have told me they've enjoyed that part the most. The people sitting next to me were slumped down in their seats, when it started. They were sitting straight up at the middle of the movie, and were literally on the edge of their seats at the end. This is the effect this movie has on people that really get it. This movie (movement) is something that is possible. It would make the world infinitely better then it is today. I was first exposed to Zeitgeist and the Venus project two years ago. You should be warned. If you get it, you'll never get it out of your mindset!

Watched it few hours ago. followed all three parts of it. had a good bunch of great thought provoking stuffs, blended along with some severely argumentative illusions that i might not adopt. a ton of questions floating in my mind trying to reveal feasible answers coping with their arguments, remained inconclusive still. i remember i emailed a bunch of relevant and serious questions regarding earlier parts long time ago, still impounded with no logical answers till date. i hate current imperialistic monetary-market system as they do; still some part of me telling me to like the zeitgeist ideas and the other logically arguing not to. just few of my large chunk of new questions might be(some might say i am tripping...lol!): 1. the current imperialistic monetary-market system owners have history of demolishing every entity that might stand in their way. if some of you are threat enough to them, why they have not taken any strong action on or eliminated zeitgeist (or julian assange, or alex jones or few such more) yet?!?? with due respect, sorry to say that you guys haven't showed much about that the world doesn't already know. are you just alternative strategic deployed players of their potential single New World Order system?!? are they strategically implanting relevant key players in both sides of the game to ensure a win?! 2. how different are, 'a world with many countries' and 'a world with many cities'?! mirror reflection as it seems. 3. 'global resource management system'...who would be in control of that management system and what would be the management hierarchy?! we all know, all decisional opinions can not be singular, so someone has to decide; who would that be?! we also know, money has no intrinsic value of itself; don't you think the singular power and control on 'global resource management system' would have some significant intrinsic value?! how to decide who to lead when?! the 'democracy' again...:)?! wouldn't that be another scam of politics?! 4. who gets to eat caviar or only potatoes...hang luxury art piece or mere calendar on wall...watch entertaining movies on 100inch plasma TV or just able to watch boring news on 20inch crt TV...sail to world tour or only can view sunset from rooftop...who decides about the quality and quantity of final products each can consume?! inequality doesn't depend on only as monetary disparity, but also on consumption opportunities. 5. what if there is large permanent migrations between these modern so called 'cities' resulting in overcrowding and underpopulation among different cities!? how to decide who lives where!? 6. i could not find or rely on a number of statistical facts it's given. moreover, it talked about if a hypothetical similar new earth found...which is not available realistically; rather in this current world, enough damage is already done to create a significant natural imbalance among various regions. how to regain dynamic equilibrium in this already unbalanced natural world as 'Nature is a dictatorship' itself!?there could be many more to clarify...but no offence...i have been a major encouraging initiator for any positive change as always among my peers and students. however, i believe in the saying, "hope for the best, but plan for the worst." :) :)
