Jacque Fresco:Futurist

The world is like a big room full of people arguing. Everyone is all loud and heated and yelling at each other, so fanatic about their own point of view that they couldn't possibly hear what the other people are fanatically yelling about. But somewhere in the room, there is some guy calmly stating the solution to everyones problem. He's not yelling, not even fanatic: he is just intently stating that there is a solution if anyone cares enough to listen. In todays pre-apocalyptic world of global climate change, severe overpollution, and iminent robotic uprising; Jacque Fresco is that guy. He's just sitting there, quietly telling us that if we did it like this, none of us would have to yell fanatically anymore. We just have to calm down and listen to him.
For decades, Mr. Fresco has been designing the future. He has theories about how the world should, and could work with proper distribution of resources and efficient use of said resources. Check out this link to the website of film maker William Gazecki who has made a documentary called "Future by Design" chronicling the works of Jacque Fresco.
