The Venus Project
The Venus Project proposes an alternative vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but as totally unacceptable. Anything less will result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems inherent in today's world.

What is The Venus Project's relationship with startup cities or micro cities?
The concept of a 'startup city' or 'microcity' has emerged in recent years in the tradition of startup culture for technology but scaled to human settlements. This is a natural progression of human knowledge and technology. The concept itself has much affinity with how The Venus Project has imagined implementing experimental prototypes to test its hypotheses about economics and governance in the real world. However, many proposals for such startup cities are conceived to serve priorities of a for-profit market system and although these will be new environments at smaller scales, they continue the danger of perpetuating the same social and environmental problems. What will make the difference is the values and beliefs that determine the design of such cities. The Venus Project follows from a value system and body of evidence that informs its priorities and design methodology. We believe this will make the difference.

From our recommended reading list: "Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge" by E. O. Wilson
This influential book argues that all branches of knowledge are fundamentally interconnected and can be explained by a small number of natural laws. It suggests that science, with its method of organized thought, can be applied to enhance understanding in all fields, including the humanities and social sciences. The core concept is that the world is an orderly and explainable whole, driven by a common set of underlying principles.

Does The Venus Project plan to use cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency has earned a tarnished reputation due to a long list of abuses, including scams, pyramid schemes, and volatility. Some have suggested that cryptocurrency may represent a stepping stone away from a monetary system. While the blockchain (the technology that underlies cryptocurrency) may offer some technology to execute transactions more transparently and efficiently, its current deployment in a market system nonetheless suffers from many of the same human dysfunction that plague the monetary system. If The Venus Project were to ever employ cryptocurrency, it would require a thorough analysis of tradeoffs and a very clear use-case. Presently, The Venus Project has no plans to use cryptocurrency.

From our recommended reading list: "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" by Thomas Kuhn
This seminal work in the philosophy and sociology of science argues that scientific progress isn't a linear accumulation of knowledge, but rather a series of revolutions where one dominant paradigm (a set of beliefs, assumptions, and practices that underlie a methodological approach) is replaced or subsumed by another. These revolutions are triggered by the accumulation of anomalies and results that the prevailing theories are unable to explain or predict.

Why does The Venus Project use money despite criticizing money?
As with all ideals and as with any engineering project, the challenge is bridging the present state, consisting of problems, dysfunctions, and sub-optimality, to the future state that is designed to function more optimally. It is a fact of this world that the monetary system prevails over all nations, accompanied by a set of perennial tradeoffs, some of which are deleterious to health and life of people and nature. Coping in the present consists of tactics to mitigate these deleterious effects. The Venus Project advocates a value system that uses money as a tool to fund research and innovation to design alternative systems to overcome the need for a monetary system and the market system that it serves. To further mitigate the challenges posed by money and the profit motive, The Venus Project executes its work as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, which currently represents the most likely type of institution to facilitate this work. To engineer a new world, we must use the tools of today to build the tools of tomorrow.
