Zeitgeist: Moving Forward

I started downloading at 3:30am finished it in 480p resolution from Yt and began watching at 5:32am...!! The subject matter they discuss in Z3 was one the most informative things i have ever seen!! Its quite intense in it's own way, and you will be compelled to continue watching it in fascination until the very end.

The perfect unadulterated out-of-the-box style narration which Peter Joseph adapts , will clear any doubts you have and will automatically keep you in an open-skeptic mind as much as possible..!! The comic relief , the soundtrack, the editing are all so well balanced it crystal clearly makes you visualize and digest the concepts so vividly and most important naturally..

I was never bored a single second of the 160 mins, i can guarantee you on this one. ( Might be due to the 150 min bollywood, kollywood movies we are indoctrinated to in India,, LOL!) But above all it gave me a billion ton confidence to tell me,to show me that we can change this world for the better of humankind! Many of us initially thought--"ZMF-the transition begins", Peter will showcase some temporary transition project or some kind of transition phase to a new society..!! The transition is, the transition in our level of thinking, the way in which we perceive the things currently around us..And in Z3 the director as achieved that overwhelmingly unimaginably..!

Zeitgeist:Moving Forward is perhaps the most powerful activism tool available to evoke positive social change and stands, due to its relevance to humanity and planet earth, as the most important documentary film created to date.!!

Goodbye dirty politics,farewell capitalism-stock markets,inflation,wars,corruption,violence,depression,,etc

So lets start our Revolution in Evolution....It is NOW!

A fascinating insight into the underlying causes of many of the world's problems. The solution Z proposes is flawed, although a sound basis for further thought.

The most powerful flaw with this new society is how people are motivated to strive and improve. If everyone gets their fair share, what is the motivation to toil in difficult jobs that will never be made redundant such as the sciences, computing, or robotics? An individual's life can never be better than his neighbour's. So is societal gain from your endevours enough of an incentive to spend your life toiling in a science lab rather than do less challenging work? Given the choice, most people would choose an easy life.

Secondly, the natural conclusion of this new society is Gattaca. The first half hour of Z explains that criminals, addicts, etc are more a product of their environment than genetically predisposed. By removing the bad environment so the argument goes - poverty, poor education, healthcare, inequality, etc, the conditions that create problematic people are removed. Sounds plausible. However would such a society not then place far more emphasis on the quality of your genes? Environment and cause & effect would no longer be factors, everyone would receive good upbringings. The distinguishing factor would be genetic. And that essentially is the dystopia depicted in Gattaca (an excellent film btw).

To those who say this solution is communist, which has been tried and failed - this solution is not communist. It is post-communist. With the power of modern computers, the efficient resource-allocation system could be operated on a decent-spec home computer. The reason communism kept failing is that it inevitably led to a corrupt elite who were rightfully deposed by popular uprising. If everyone can duplicate the system on which resources are allocated themselves on their own computers, there can be no accusation of corruption. There would be healthy debate and democratic decision making as to the rules and inputs to the system, but there would be no elitist subversion of the planned economy that people hated so much about communism (nor capitalism's elite 1% owning 40%).

So in summary, not the definitive blueprint it wants to be, but food for thought nevertheless.

Following on from 'Zeitgeist Addendum', 'Moving Forward' reinforces and clarifies the information presented in that film. It is done so in a crystal clear fashion beginning with an examination of the conditioning that shapes our behaviour, moving on to the failures of the monetary/market system, it's resultant socio-economic collapse and finally, the transition into a resource based economy for the betterment of humankind. (if we survive)

Questions that may have remained following addendum are addressed and i find it hard to believe that people could attempt to "debunk" the ideas presented in this film. That would be akin to attempting to debunk the scientific method itself.

Watch this film. Tell your family, friends and work colleagues about it. "Zeitgeist: Moving Forward" is perhaps the most powerful activism tool available to evoke positive social change and stands, due to its relevance to humanity and planet earth, as the most important documentary film created to date.

It is available for free online from the 25th January 2010.

This was definitely the best, in both visual effects and quality of content, out of the Zeitgeist series. A few animated shorts provide welcomed comic relief throughout the 2-hour and 40-minute film.

As a sociologist, I particularly appreciated the first half of the movie which was dedicated to discussing human "nature", behavior, and social pathology.

With the basic groundwork laid for understanding how humans *do* have the potential to create a massive shift in our current social/cultural paradigm, the film goes on to offer the potential design and physical layout of a more efficiently functioning social system.

Anyone who is concerned with the current state of our global society should watch this film... and then share it with a friend. (And anyone who's not concerned with the current state of our global society should probably read about international news more often.)

this film is life-changing and hopefully world-changing.

filmmaker Peter Joseph has created a must-see documentary that doesn't only analyze the main problems in the world in a never-before-seen way, but also offers a real solution.

there's no more "conspiracy theory" type information in this film, as used to be in the first ZEITGEIST.

this is a profound, professional, scientific work of genius.

if you ever watch a documentary, watch this.

spread this movie wherever you can, this information needs to reach everyone in the world.
