Zeitgeist Addendum

It was released free online on October 4, 2008. Director Peter Joseph stated: "The failure of our world to resolve the issues of war, poverty, and corruption, rests within a gross ignorance about what guides human behavior to begin with. It addresses the true source of the instability in our society, while offering the only fundamental, long-term solution."

Part I

Part I follows on from Part III from the original film, citing the specific process of fractional-reserve banking as detailed in Modern Money Mechanics, released by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. In detailing the process of money creation, the film suggests society is manipulated into economic slavery through debt-based monetary policies by requiring individuals to submit for employment in order to pay off their debt, and it suggests that money itself is debt.

Part II

Part II is a documentary-style interview with The New York Times best-selling author and activist John Perkins based on his book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, in which he describes his role as a self-described economic hit man. In that capacity, he claims to have helped the CIA, as well as various corporate and political entities, to undermine or corrupt foreign regimes that put the interests of their populations before those of the transnational corporations. In the film, Perkins denies the existence of a "conspiracy." Instead, he carefully discusses the role of corporatocracy.

Part III

Part III is a documentary-style interview with futurist Jacque Fresco. The film suggests Jacque Fresco's proposal of a "resource-based economy" through intelligent management of resources is a sustainable way for humanity to progress, and it would eliminate the scarcity of resources. He goes on to discuss technology as the primary driver of human advancement while politics is irrelevant because politicians are not trained to solve problems. Jacque Fresco claims that his approach is not the ultimate solution, but that "it's just much better than what we have. We can never achieve perfection."

Part IV

Part IV suggests the primary reason for the "corrupt" behavior humans use is linked to a collective ignorance of "the symbiotic and emergent aspects of natural law." The film suggests actions for "social transformation", some of which include boycotts of the large banks that make up the Federal Reserve System, the mainstream media, the military, and energy companies. It is also suggested that people reject the political structure.

Vulcanus in Japan

Sunt pe short list!!!! Meaning, am trecut de prima faza a selectiei. Nu stiu cati au aplicat, dar am fost selectati 150.  Acum urmeaza sa vad ce firme s-au inscris anul asta in program, sa aleg 3 la care sa imi trimit dosarul de aplicare. Si sa ma rog sa ma selecteze! :D 

Ce inseamna Vulcanus in Japan? O saptamana la Bruxelles, 4 luni de studiu al limbii si culturii japoneze in Japonia, 8 luni internship la o firma din Japonia, in domeniul fiecaruia de activitate. Ce poate fi mai bun de atata? E programul perfect! :D

New Japanese teacher in town!

A new teacher from Japan has come to Timisoara. The courses will start Monday, don’t know at which time yet. They will be held at West University, in English I think. She doesn’t seem to know Romanian yet :) I’m so excited to see her…:D The first teacher we had, Yuko-san was such a cutie! She knew Romanian and besides teaching us the Japanese language she tried to show as a bit of the Japanese culture, food, traditions. She organized a 2 days Japanese festival with dances, stories, theatre plays, origami and ikebana expo…and all kind of other stuff that I don’t remember now :p The main idea is, the Japanese classes are starting again :p
