<h2>10. What types of pressures would The Venus Project alleviate?</h2>

Our greatest lesson could be that human beings, free of debt, insecurity, and fear, become much more amiable. No one would be out to sell anything nor to deprive another for money. In a Resource Based Economy, the basis for unhealthy human aggression would be outgrown. Our attention would no longer be consumed by such nagging concerns as mortgages, health care, insurance, economic recession, job scarcity and taxes. With the elimination of these burdens, as well as the conditions which create feelings of envy and greed, our lives would be far more meaningful. For the first time, we may begin to know what it means to be human.

As we enhance the lives of others, protect our environment and create universal abundance, all our lives are enriched and more secure. If these values were put into practice, it would provide for all of us a much higher standard of living within a relatively short period of time – a continually improving standard of living.

Our choice of constructive endeavor would be made without the economic pressure, restraint, and taxation which are inherent in the monetary system. By constructive endeavor, we mean anything that enhances the lives of the individual and others. When education and resources are available to all without a price tag, there is no limit to human potential. With these major alterations, people would live longer, more meaningful and healthier lives. The measure of success would be fulfillment rather than acquisition.
