I have enjoyed all the Zeitgeist films and the topics and information presented are relevant and do make sense. The problem I see here is that all three films start talking about inefficient government systems or social dilemmas and always end with the concept of this cashless society where there is no status or hierarchy amongst other humans. In essence, true socialism is supposed to accomplish this however human nature corrupts this system so that what ends up happening is that average people will have to obey the rules of the system while a few elite will be able to make their own rules.
In the Zeitgeist-like ideal, isn't it obvious that a similar phenomenon will occur here and average folk like ourselves will have to live in these pods and circular cities while other "special" people will be allowed to live outside of these developments. What we will have setup using the Zeitgeist model is a lower and middle class consuming less so that those few elite will now have the resources to live those lifestyles indefinitely. If anything, the elite they speak of should embrace the Zeitgeist plan because its clear that their money-based credit scheme has run its course and I feel the elite need a new game to trick society for another couple of centuries as the former money system has accomplished for thousands of years. Wouldn't the Zeitgeist plan be perfect in accomplishing this? In the end of the day, the reality is that most will like the idea but will not want to give up all the possessions they currently have and a system they spent a lifetime to learn, only to start over from square one. Senior citizens within this new system will die because this radical change makes it impossible to adapt to as they in essence have all their eggs in one basket and we as a society would have to carry all of these older people so they could fit the new paradigm. In my belief, the human race is inherently flawed with a variety of deadly cognitive distortions and delusions that will kill us in the end.
Zeitgeist refers to religion as a control and I will wrap this review with some religion. In the bible it says that the meek will inherit the Earth. When I read that statement, it's my belief that the "meek" they speak of are not human beings. Instead I consider the meek to be the animals and other creatures of our planet that have suffered from our presence here. It is clear something we as a race initiate will wipe us off the face of this planet and when that day comes, Earth will finally be at peace and the animals will be the catalysts for the Earth returning to the Eden it once was.
Humans, despite their superior intelligence as compared to animals, accomplish less in the end. They are by nature not in balance with their environment and will never be evolved enough to truly accomplish what the animals can. In short, ignorance is bliss.
