Zeitgeist Movement of Orange County Offical subchapter of ZMCA

We are not about 'converting' or 'convincing' anyone of anything. We don't have to do that. The world will do our convincing for us. We just want to put out the fact that we want to do something about the situation in the world and have some good ideas worth considering. Then they will have the motivation, when events intrude into their lives, to convince themselves, whatever it takes. The same goes for those who see us as some kind of danger or conspiracy or some other foolishness. They can remain fearful of us for only so long... when events intrude into their lives, they will look us up and educate themselves.

We just need to get across our fundamental orientations... non-violence, non-coercion, prosperity through deliberate social design, ecological harmony, the scientific method, and a level of individual freedom that cannot exist in this world right now. Some people will think that because we propose a comprehensive integrated life support system, that system will limit people and therefore use force for compliance, and since that is part of the present controlling social algorithm there is no way to address their concern except to point to our anti-coercion orientation, but they will come to understand that having a comprehensive integrated life support system will allow more freedom than any existing systems. It is not a limiting system as it would be under any existing systems. The differences are fundamental and have different characteristics than any existing system allows.
Don't bother to debate. It is fruitless. Answer questions truthfully and as completely as possible, then let it go. The existing system logic, when faced with ecological decline, will result in a much higher level of fascism, more coercion and violence, and a level of genocide never before imagined. We are the only alternative, and only if enough people join us.
Humanity has to choose the ZM concepts, or it will not exist. The current systems allow no choice unless enough people choose something different on a scale beyond the scope of current system controls. –ZM activist “Worldmind”
