Industrial engineer, inventor and generally uber-impressive renaissance man Jacque Fresco held two lectures in the Oliver Thompson lecture hall in the Tait Building, University of London on October 3rd. He was joined by Roxaxnne Meadows to discuss the Venus Project, societal values, human progress and the like.
This is a high fidelity audio recording of the first lecture, which took place at 1pm. Fresco and Meadows then held a 1 hour Q&A which is also available below as a download.

Thanks for posting this, i was at the later lecture. He is one motivated individual! I can agree with his utopian dream 100% because i believe we, the human race, are fundamentally flawed. Essentially we will never achieve that dream so long as half the population would rather sit at home and play xbox. His concept of working for the state in a voluntary way would never work.
Having said that, many of his ideas will work and will just take time. He is right, maybe it will take a huge disaster on this planet to force our hand.
Hope the Q and A was good in the first session. The second one was dogged by idiots trying to be clever and not acutally asking questions ; )
ps one thing which did annoy me, as a web designer i mean, he didnt mention the internet once. The internet is the future as it is breaking down gates and walls now!
I agree with Galkaen, I downloaded them and thought I'd never listen to them – boy they are addictive. Check them out here:

Particularly interesting is the Zeitgeist Undebunked with DM Murdock (where the actual details of her books are discussed, and the sources and references are given) and Jacque is on the BTR show about once a month with Roxanne. You can go back retrospectively – there's hours of Jacque there.
Hi Simon, i will recommend to you, Peter Joseph's Blog talk Radio Show, in which he discuss all the details about how we can achieve this. Hope you listen to it.
Peace!
Cool, thanks for the tip!
