The video "Zeitgeist - Moving Forward" explores various aspects of societal and economic systems, highlighting the impact of early experiences, genetics, and environment on shaping behavior, addiction, and violence. It challenges the notion that individual behavior is predetermined by genetics and stresses the importance of meeting basic human needs to prevent detrimental human behavior. The video critiques the current economic system and the measurement of progress through GDP, highlighting how the system's focus on consumption leads to environmental degradation and inefficiency. It argues that the economic system thrives on planned obsolescence, with a reinforced incentive to make sure goods have a short lifespan to encourage cyclical consumption.
The documentary "Zeitgeist: Moving Forward" critiques the service industry, medical establishment, crime and terrorism, war industry, and GDP as positively rewarded ventures that prioritize consumerism over problem-solving and environmental sustainability. The monetary system, along with the market system, creates an infinite growth paradigm that cannot be sustained on a finite planet. The result is inflation, bankruptcy, and extreme poverty, which contributes to structural class and wealth inequality. The urgency for a global resource management system is highlighted, along with the need for a comprehensive systems approach to designing cities that enhance human life while providing sustainability and efficiency in every area of the economy. Renewable energy sources, automation in production, and circular designs for cities are suggested as potential solutions to address these issues.
