I sometimes wonder whether films like Zeitgeist are designed to remove any credibility from the concepts presented therein. ZOMG BILDERBERGERS! No, seriously, films like these ones (and yes, I sat through their endless hours) take a few reasonable premises and take them off to the land of bullshit where they can die, safely ignored.

At first, it seemed like Z:A was actually making a bit more sense than its predecessors. Then the Venus Project folks showed up and started talking about the coming techno-utopia. My impression was that the Venus Project folks are well-intentioned- but if they have actually studied economics in detail, it's not apparent from the interviews in this movie. Their argument was, basically, once robots do everything for us we'll all be rich and can pursue world peace or whatever turns us on.
