Question Zeitgeist Movement: Thought provoking

I watched 2 out of 3 movies on http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/

each movie was about 2 hour long... somewhat repetitive but thought provoking.


First came out in 2007: Zeitgeist: The movie

Second came out 2008: Zeitgeist: Addendum

Then third: The Zeitgeist Movement: Orientation

I think they are "must see" movies, you could decide for yourself after watching one of them in its entirety whether if you want to see all 3.

I have only watched the first one, but it is a very convincing idea of how religion came to its current place.

I used to believe the whole 9/11 aspect of their movies was so very plausible, but not anymore. The relgion part is spot on though.

How come not anymore? seems to me more than plausible, physics of how building collapse under controlled demolition and exterior impact have very different pattern of aftermath destruction.

It seems like such a plausible explanation. But if it's so strong, why won't more people accept it?

Like believing the earth is flat back in the dark ages?

Conspiracies and religions aside,

I was more fascinated by the energy conservation, existing reusable energy sources that could already supply all human needs and sustainability segments of the movies..

Arccording to the movies, technologies for reusable energy that could supply all human needs already exist, why are we not using them?

Because money has to be made somehow by someone?

What if there is no need for money, or work? the 3rd movie raises some interesting concepts about possibilities... I learned alot from it... my wife said it was boring.

Don't have time to watch the flicks; what were their suggestions for renewable energy resources? Solar, geothermal, etc...? I'm a big fan of wind and tidal energy; one huge drawback is the massive footprint however.

A lot of those technologies aren't feasible for widespread use yet for economical reasons, and who can blame Big Oil for looking out for their best interests when they already have trillions of dollars invested in infrastructure. Not that I'm not down for affordable "alternative" energy.

I think it would be worth our time to watch the movies..

Second came out 2008: Zeitgeist: Addendum may be more interesting to you.
