    Hi Ben,
    This was truly a phenomenal presentation!

    With your permission, the ZM Linguistic Team will very quickly add this lecture to the official ZM dotSUB account (TZMOfficial) so the English Transcription Team can get their greedy little hands on it and get it prepped for translation into all other languages. :D

    With the amount of natural reverb through this auditorium, they may have a little trouble figuring out all of the words. So, if you agree and already have your lecture transcribed, please get in touch and save them some head scratching. lol

    That was by far the best ever lecture about the ZeitgeistMovement or compared to any other lecture about human affairs.

    Brilliant!!!

    For anyone having a difficult time understanding Ben's lecture through the natural reverb in this hall, the English transcription is now available in the ZM Linguistic Team Repository. This will allow you to watch the video with English subtitles, so you can follow along more easily.

    Please note that Ben generously helped with the final proofreading of it. We are very much looking forward to more lectures from him.

    Dear All - it has come to my attention that I misquoted Harvey Milk at the beginning (no big deal, but nevertheless.)

    Instead of "I'm here to change your mind" he said "I'm here to recruit you." I was after his spirit, more than his exact words. But hey. There it is.

    You said that we must live as one global human race to "Ensure maximum quality of life", but how do we determine what "quality of life" really is? And how can we have quality of life based upon our own desires and efforts without a connection to God, through Jesus christ?

    We cannot become symbiotic like nature, because we are not animals, and as the one living creature on this earth with a soul, we are in a position that is unique in that we are constantly in conflict, due to the constant and dramatic battle being waged over each and every soul within every human being on this earth.

    Evan, thanks for commenting. Well, All human beings need definable things like water, shelter food, and increasingly, technology. After all, you used a computer to ask this question. It's not disputed what we need. Human beings have more in common than your religion might have taught you. Let's start there. Presently a billion do not even have the basics, hanks largely to predatory theo-capitalism which many a reverend would term as "radical evil" - the kind of system that ultimately destroys itself through it's own logic.

    As for the Jesus comment - I don't see how it's relevant to the technical reality of creating a sustainable world. You can pray for food and water all you like. God helps those who help themselves.

    You can believe what you like. It's doesn't DO anything in real life. And you certainly don't need religion to know the golden rule. Do unto others.

    So let's "do unto others" as we would like to have done unto ourselves. And that requires technical specifics, actual actions, real sustainable systems.

    And by the way. Nature is everything including you. You are not separate from it. The misery you see now isn't "innate" - it's a product of a system based on scarcity, conflict through competition and inefficiency. What exactly does one expect from humans in that scenario?
