Ep. 15 Serf Doesborgh ~The Zeitgeist Movement (The Dutch Chapter)

Founded in 2008, The Zeitgeist Movement is a Sustainability Advocacy Organization which conducts community based activism and awareness actions through a network of Global/Regional Chapters, Project Teams, Annual Events, Media and Charity Work. The Movement’s principle focus includes the recognition that the majority of the social problems which plague the human species at this time are not the sole result of some institutional corruption, scarcity, a political policy, a flaw of “human nature” or other commonly held assumptions of causality in the activist community. Rather, The Movement recognizes that issues such as poverty, corruption, collapse, homelessness, war, starvation and the like appear to be “Symptoms” born out of an outdated social structure. While intermediate reform steps and temporal community support are of interest to The Movement, the defining goal here is the installation of a new socioeconomic model based upon technically responsible Resource Management, Allocation and Distribution through what would be considered The Scientific Method of reasoning problems and finding optimized solutions. This “Resource-Based Economic Model” is about taking a direct technical approach to social management as opposed to a Monetary or even Political one. It is about updating the workings of society to the most advanced and proven methods Science has to offer, leaving behind the damaging consequences and limiting inhibitions which are generated by our current system of monetary exchange, profits, corporations and other structural and motivational components. Some might ask: Is The Zeitgeist Movement related to Peter Joseph’s Film Series? No. The Zeitgeist documentary series was the inspiration for “The Zeitgeist Movement”, due to their popularity and overall message of seeking truth, peace, and sustainability in society. While the word “Zeitgeist” is associated with Peter Joseph’s film series, “Zeitgeist: The Movie”, “Zeitgeist: Addendum”, and “Zeitgeist: Moving Forward”, these films are personal artistic expressions of the filmmaker himself, with the call to found a global movement at the end of documentary Zeitgeist: Addendum. In this episode you can get an update how members of the Zeitgeist Movement interpret the goals and mission statement published on the international website. Moreover Serf Doesborgh explains who is behind the Dutch chapter, and what are the challenges and next steps of the movement. Watch the full episode on YouTube:
