"They are one people and have one language, and nothing will be withholden from them which they purpose to do."
--Genesis 11:5
I used to consider frequently is the lack of universal verbal compatibility among people on this planet. I find it astonishing that, in an age of jet-engines and high-speed internet, most of us are still completely incapable of communicating with the people even one continent over.

Friends of The Zeitgeist Movement, Venus Project and others may be interested in having a look at The Free World Charter, a new initiative which encapsulates the same core values of TZM and TVP into a set of concise, simple and formal statements.

(Text from the speech at the Townhall Meeting in Amsterdam. August, 2011.)
Hello everybody. It’s great to see so many people gathered here with interest in the ideas of the Zeitgeist movement. It’s great to see such awareness of a need for fundamental change. The need for an economy that is sustainable, provides in abundance and actually takes care of us. Not only am I happy to see you here, but I’m also very grateful for Ben McLeish and Gilbert Ismail to share their findings with us here tonight. May this result in a fruitful debate in the end.

If you have ever tried to explain how a resource based society will work and then explain how to get there then you will know my frustration. If you have ever tried to convince another person that the human race is socially evolving then you know that doing so can be an exercise in gut twisting futility. Recently, I had a discussion that spawned a heated argument about these things.

I'm sure I may make a few enemies within Zeitgeist by writing this, but I honestly can't keep it under my hat. Before I take the jigsaw to a piece of pseudo-science crap, I want to preface a few things. Firstly, I am relatively on the fence regarding the issue of vaccinations. I've not done enough research on the matter to confidently share my opinion. Regardless of which side of the issue you may take, I can be persuaded by compelling evidence on either side.

“The master and His Emissary” is a book written by doctor and psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist (an animated summary was recently published) which examines the thoroughly divided nature of the human brain. The fact that it’s divided is easily discerned simply by taking a look at it; the two cerebral hemispheres are asymmetrical and connected only by a structure called the Corpus callosum. The theory that this might have some major impact on the way we function goes a long way back, but our understanding of it continues to evolve.

Context can be such a traitor, always looking for an opportunity to betray. But context isn't biased. However, it is easily manipulated by those who have something to gain; therein lies the irony of the profit-based driven society we have created for ourselves. One example is in education. We inherently know that we have to value education. We know deep down that our children need to have an education.
