The Zeitgeist Movement... brilliant or just nonsense?

Asked by silverfly (4055points) April 9th, 2010

I’ve seen a couple different talks by Peter Joseph and am very intrigued by all the concepts presented. I just started watching the video on social pathology today.

It’s obvious that we can’t survive forever at our current rate of consumption, war, waste, etc.

What do you think about this whole movement? The idea that we could entirely eliminate our monetary system as we know it in order to create a sustainable and peaceful world is so compelling, but are we even ready for that kind of thinking? Are we even capable of eliminating all the societal structures we’ve grown so accustom to (religion, money, class, race, marriage)?

Let me know what you guys think.
