Welcome to The Zeitgeist Movement, which is a social movement advocating a transition into a Resource-Based Economy, a system designed for true sustanability, where decisions that affect society are arrived at through scientific methods, based upon maintaining the wellbeing of all humanity and our shared environment.
The Zeitgeist Movement is not a political movement. It does not recognize nations, governments, races, religions, creeds or class. Our understandings conclude that these are false, outdated distinctions which are far from positive factors for true collective human growth and potential. Their basis is in power division and stratification, not unity and equality, which is our goal.
The world you see today, full of war, corruption, elitism, pollution, poverty, epidemic disease, human rights abuses, inequality and crime is a result of those divisions.
The movement itself is not a centralized construct. We recognise that we must become the change we want to see in the world. We are not here to lead, but to organize and educate. We encourage critical thinking and researching everything that we claim.
