Another solid, well researched film by Peter Joseph. You should consider Re-Watching Zeitgeist, the Movie also. Well, you know, only if you want to learn some truths about the world we live in and are apart of. I highly recommend every person (for the sake of humanity) to engage themselves in this sort of difficult process.
Solutions from the movie:
1. Expose the Fed Cartel. Why should you trust the banking system? They have given us just enough rope to hang ourselves with and now they are seemingly in a state of urgency but still spending big time.
2. Boycott News Networks. Who are they to tell you what to believe in and how to think? They use brainwashing techniques peeps. Watch Democracy Now instead. And Always Use and Protect the Internet.
3. Boycott the Military. Learn that those enlisted (it's not their fault) have been misled to work for the corporations who control the government. Don't buy all the propaganda that they are fighting for your liberty and freedom bullshit. They may have done so at one time... but now, they are sadly just pawns. If any brother of mine ever.....NEVERMIND....just know, that I would fuckin fight!!
4. Boycott Energy Companies. Get off the grid. Convert your vehicles. It's not as hard as it seems. They just want us to think that. Do the research ladies and gentlemen.
5. Reject the Political System. Focus on working to dissolve the outdated system of Politics, in favor of technological redesign and intelligent management of the Earth's Resources. No, you don't have to join a cult or be the jack ass of an anarchist. But you should learn how to self sustain and teach others how to do the same. Things like growing our own food and making our own clothes (interests me). Plus, we should all go camping! Realize that we have enough of everything we need to share with everybody globally. There is no reason we can't use our technological reservoir of knowledge in a healthier way instead (of killing each other).
6. Create Critical Mass. Join the movement. Learn about and/or Play SuperStruct to get your mind brainstorming about the future we will help create. Oh and do yoga, smile, dance, go canoeing, paint, write, keep baking cookies, and try veganism too. It will help you along the way. Really.



The goals are worthwhile and very important.
What remains to be seen is whether the philosophy adopted is "individualist and cooperative" or "collectivist and top-down".
If "individualist", its prospects are good. The elitists must go!

Of course it is collective, not top-down. The whole point of the film was that coercive systems of control (like the monetary system or religion) are the root of the problem and we need to do away with them completely.
