*Is The Venus Project trying to save the world?* While some would have us think that we are lucky to be graced by those with messianic destinies, The Venus Project encourages a more humble and practical attitude. The Venus Project is an assemblage of individuals seeking the fulfillment of their higher needs, which includes needs for community, creative expression, intellectual challenge, meaning in life, and a higher purpose. In these activities, we cannot know for certain if we will leave the world better than we found it, whether we will make it better or worse. As the saying goes, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" and we can expect this outcome more likely when the travelers are blindly self-righteous. In other words, we cannot know if our actions will 'save the world'. However, what we can know is where the evidence leads. The Venus Project has amassed a body of evidence that culminates into a hypothesis in the form of a system design. If there is a chance to 'save the world', it does not begin first with the assumption that we are saving the world, for it may blind us to when we are not. Instead, the best we can do is promote a hypothesis worth testing, subject to revision based on results. In the meantime, we act with love, enjoy the process, and fear adding more suffering to the world. Read more FAQs: https://www.thevenusproject.com/learn/faq/
