FEATURE: The Atlas Research Center

Building a city is a huge task. Even if all the labor was volunteer, the financial backing for materials alone, is substantial. The Atlas oversight reached an important unanimous decision that will allow the Atlas City Project to launch with greater success. With the many decisions of how the city will be built, Atlas Initiative Group, Inc. will create a Atlas Research Center on a proposed 40 acre track in Pahrump, NV. There are many reasons this step is being taken and this article will try to explain many of those.

The first consideration is that Atlas Initiative Group, Inc is applying for Grants. These grants allow Atlas to fund research that not only meets the grant requirements, but can be applied directly to the Atlas City Project. These include...

Your Future Occupation

I began to wonder, once again, just how different the occupational placement will be in a city such as Atlas. How many jobs will be eliminated, which will begin to become predominate, and how the lack of financial burden will expand individual job dependence. Will the artistic side of each individual finally break free? Will we decide to take on new projects and tasks that were not allotted to us in the past, or that required restrictions, degrees, deadlines, and other forms of classism that made them less desirable? I started looking up a few basic charts and found some interesting information.

A quick search pulled up...

Tribute to Jacque Fresco

Primary in Fresco's vision is the concept of a "resource-based economy." It incorporates sustainable cities and values, along with the goals of energy efficiency, natural resource management, and advanced automation, focusing on the benefits that it might bring to humanity as a whole.

According to Fresco, poverty, crime, corruption and war are the result of scarcity created by the present world's profit-based economic system. He theorizes that the profit motive also stifles the progress of socially beneficial technology, and instead he favors a system that fosters the purpose motive. Fresco claims that the progression of technology, if it were carried on independently of its profitability, would make more resources available to more people by producing an abundance of products and materials. This new-found abundance of resources would, according to Fresco, reduce the human tendency toward individualism, corruption, and greed, and instead rely on people helping each other.

A resource-based economy replaces the need for the current monetary economy, which is "scarcity-oriented" or "scarcity-based". Fresco argues that the world is rich in natural resources and energy and that - with modern technology and judicious efficiency - the needs of the global population can be met with abundance, while at the same time removing the current limitations of what is deemed possible due to notions of economic viability....

Intent Heals the World

Intent is a word usually associated very shallowly with its importance. Every intention, in actuality, causes significant change. At its very basic component, our singular intent causes hormonal changes on the molecular scale. When you are angry you send out different chemicals then when you are fearful or happy. Each intention then causes individualistic changes in thoughts, moods, and actions. This significant event does not stop there. It continues through every interaction of every second of every day.

Many are familiar with the term the Butterfly Effect. Your interactions with your family or...

How to Save a Penny: Automotive

The automotive world is a crazy and expensive lifestyle mandatory to most of us. However, it seems very infrequent that people really consider what the cost of their convenience is, not to mention some alternatives that may be easier. Some are quite simple and applicable to all, while others may require a slight change in lifestyle. In the end it's up to each individual to decide what is most important to their routines, finances, and environment.

The first concern with most individuals is...
