   Hey Kubler, I took the first paragraph of the above text and created this...

   The Zeitgeist Movement is a movement that works to bring focus, attention and awareness to the use of the scientific method in regard to finding solutions to all human and environmental problems while approaching these problems with fresh eyes, that do not take as given, current established ideas and systems that may prevent looking at these problems from new perspectives. If we may quote the great Albert Einstein, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

   This means that as we gain better understandings in science, we are obliged to tackle these problems from a grassroots level, and this is what we strive to work towards.

   Found this on Zeitgeistmovie.com

   Zeitgeist: Addendum, (the second movie) attempts to locate the root causes
   of this pervasive social corruption, while offering a solution. This solution is not
   based on politics, morality, laws, or any other "establishment" notions of human affairs,
   but rather on a modern, non-superstitious based understanding of what we are
   and how we align with nature, to which we are a part. The work advocates
   a new social system which is updated to present day knowledge, highly influenced
   by the life long work of Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project.

   i think that defines the movement good enough:

   The Zeitgeist Movement is not a political movement. It does not recognize nations, governments, races, religions, creeds or class. our understanding conclude that these are false, outdated distinctions which are far from positive factors for true collective human growth and potential.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 greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.
   by Michelangelo

   While it is important to understand that everything in life is a natural progression,, we must also acknowledge the reality that the human species has the ability to drastically allow and paralyze progress, through social structures which are out of date, dogmatic, and hence out of like with nature itself. The world you see today, full of war, corruption, elitism, pollution, poverty, epidemic disease, gender based discrimination, human rights abuses, inequality and crimes in the result of this paralysis.

   a pill description of TZM would be:

   From the New York website:

   This movement is about awareness, in avocation of a fluid evolutionary progress, both personal, social, technological and spiritual. It recognizes that the human species is on a natural path for unification, derived from a communal acknowledgment of fundamental and near empirical understandings of how nature works and how we as humans fit into/are a part of this universal unfolding we call life. While this path does exist, it is unfortunately hindered and not recognized by the great majority of humans, who continue to perpetuate outdated and hence degenerative modes of conduct and association. It is this intellectual irrelevancy which the Zeitgeist Movement hopes to overcome through education and social action.

   The goal is to revise our world society in accord with present day knowledge on all levels, not only creating awareness of social and technological possibilities many have been conditioned to think impossible or against “human nature”, but also to provide a means to overcome those elements in society which perpetuate these outdated systems.

   An important association, upon which many of the ideas of this movement are derived come from an organization called ” The Venus Project” directed by social engineer and industrial designer, Jacque Fresco. He has worked nearly his entire life to create the tools needed to assist a design of the world which could eventually eradicate war, poverty, crime, social stratification and corruption. His notions are not radical or complex. They do not impose a subjective interpretation in their formation. In this model, society is created as a mirror of nature, with the variables predefined, inherently.

   The movement itself is not a centralized construct.
   We are not here to lead, but to organize and educate
