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|human nature]]" or other commonly held assumptions of causality.

Rather, The Movement recognizes that issues such as [[Poverty|poverty]], [[Corruption|corruption]], [[Collapse|collapse]], [[Homelessness|homelessness]], [[War|war]], [[Starvation|starvation]] and the like appear to be "Symptoms" born out of an outdated [[Current Social Structure|social structure]].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 [[Resource Based Economy|new socioeconomic model]] based upon technically responsible [[Resource Management]], [[Resource Allocation|Allocation]] and [[Resource Distribution|Distribution]] through what would be considered [[The Scientific Method]] of reasoning problems and finding optimized solutions.

This "[[Resource Based Economy|Resource-Based Economic Model]]" is about taking a direct technical approach to social management as opposed to a [[Monetary Market Economy|Monetary]] or even [[Political System|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.

=== Why not use Wikipedia for this? === <!--T:13-->
 +
[[w:Wikipedia|The Wikipedia]] is concerned with what's ''factual'', requiring very stringent referencing system in an academic style. Whilst this is a great way to ensure the maximum quality for a crowdsourced encyclopaedia, it becomes unsuitable for projects like this one. Unlike Wikipedia, this knowledge-base is concerned with the development of a set of ideas, evaluating proposals, and discussing approaches for action. For more information see [[w:Wikipedia:CRYSTALBALL|what Wikipedia is not, especially regarding speculative content]].

The Movement is loyal to a train of thought, not figures or institutions. In other words, the view held is that through the use of [[Socially Targeted Research|socially targeted research]] and [[Tested Understandings|tested understandings]] in [[Science]] and [[Technology]], we are now able to logically arrive at societal applications which could be profoundly more effective in meeting the [[Human Needs|needs of the human population]]. In fact, so much so, that there is little reason to assume war, poverty, most [[Crime|crimes]] and many other [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_scarcity money-based scarcity]] effects common in our current model cannot be resolved over time.

The range of The Movement's [[Activism]] & [[Awareness Campaigns]] extend from short to long term, with the model based explicitly on [[Non-Violent methods of communication]]. The long term view, which is the transition into a [[Resource Based Economy|Resource-Based Economic Model]], is a constant pursuit and expression, as stated before. However, in the path to get there, The Movement also recognizes the need for [[Transitional Reform Techniques|transitional Reform techniques]], along with [[Direct Community Support|direct Community Support]].

This website was conceived, and initially registered, as part of a chapter project within [[The Zeitgeist Movement]] (TZM), with the name of TZMWiki. Its original purpose was to document information about TZM, specifically, and the [[Resource-Based Economic Model]] matters in general. However, there was little to none interest in using this wiki by TZM Global or any other chapters, and that original purpose was since superseded by the one stated in the [[#Mission|Mission]].

For instance, while "[[Monetary Reform]]" itself is not an end solution proposed by The Movement, the merit of such legislative approaches are still considered valid in the context of transition and temporal integrity. Likewise, while [[Food|food]] and [[Clothing|clothes]] drives and other supportive projects to help those in need today are also not considered a long term solution, it is still considered valid in the context of helping others in a time of need, while also drawing awareness to the [[TZM's Principle Goals|principle goal]].

The Zeitgeist Movement also has no allegiance to a country or traditional political platforms.

This is a Knowledgebase in the form of a Wiki, NOT a discussion forum. Please refrain from making personal remarks, opinions or preferences. The Talk pages are also not to vent personal opinion but to challenge the accuracy of information published employing valid references. All edits must be written in English, based on facts, with appropriate references, and informative. Edits violating these policies will be promptly removed and their contributors may be banned.

This Wiki is about a consensuated understanding of a Resource-Based Economic Model (RBEM), and does not represent either The Zeitgeist Movement or The Venus Project's specific views or objectives. The wiki intends to become useful as a reliable knowledge-base for relevant information to these and other movements and projects committed to the development of a RBEM.

Welcome to RBEM Wiki, a website devoted to collecting and sharing objective and empirical information about the Resource-Based Economic Model (RBEM), originally described by Jacque Fresco. It also welcomes its use by any movements, projects and supporting groups who intend to implement some form of RBEM.

RBEM Wiki is a free and collaboratively edited Internet encyclopedia proposed to the community originally by Sydney TZM activists. It borrows from the experience of the Wikipedia editors (the Wikipedians), who have developed and refined a system that achieved general consensus in a great number of topics by means of crowdsourcing.

This Knowledge-base is written in English. Started in 2012, it currently contains 114 articles. For more information about how to contribute and other technical details, please visit RBEMWiki:About.

[edit] Mission

The mission of this Knowledgebase is to:

  • Define clearly what are the common and personal understandings of the idea of a Resource-Based Economic Model for the various groups that actively support it
  • Provide a common space for recording relevant information about each activist and supporting group, such as structure, mission, links, codes of conduct, contact details, etc
  • Provide a space for RBEM-related material that is not yet suitable for the Wikipedia itself

[edit] Main topics in this knowledge-base

[edit] FAQ

[edit] Help! What do I do?

For some ideas on how to begin, see Starting out.

[edit] Why not use Wikipedia for this?

The Wikipedia is concerned with what's factual, requiring very stringent referencing system in an academic style. Whilst this is a great way to ensure the maximum quality for a crowdsourced encyclopaedia, it becomes unsuitable for projects like this one. Unlike Wikipedia, this knowledge-base is concerned with the development of a set of ideas, evaluating proposals, and discussing approaches for action. For more information see what Wikipedia is not, especially regarding speculative content.

Any articles in this knowledgebase which achieve a degree of quality appropriate for Wikipedia (e.g. factual, objective, neutral, well-referenced) could, and probably should, be relocated into the Wikipedia. Once this knowledgebase reaches a sizeable number of great quality articles, it might be possible to join the MediaWiki Interwiki network.

[edit] How is this Wiki related to The Zeitgeist Movement?

This website was conceived, and initially registered, as part of a chapter project within The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM), with the name of TZMWiki. Its original purpose was to document information about TZM, specifically, and the Resource-Based Economic Model matters in general. However, there was little to none interest in using this wiki by TZM Global or any other chapters, and that original purpose was since superseded by the one stated in the Mission.

[edit] How is this Wiki related to The Venus Project?

This website honours Jacque Fresco in that he devoted half of his life to develop and promote his idea of a Resource-Based Economy. However this wiki does not devote to The Venus Project's specific idea of a RBE, which is intertwined with their implementation strategy for a worldwide RBE. TVP activists are most welcomed to participate of this knowledgebase, e.g. by helping define and document aspects of a RBE, or to use it for documenting some of their own information.

[edit] How is this Wiki related to the RBE10K Project?

Both this knowledgebase and The RBE10K Project were created by the same activist, Ziggy. Also, the RBE10K Project planning is mostly based on this wiki, to be used between 2013 and the end of 2014.

[edit] Who funds this website?

It only costs $13 per month to run, plus around $10 per year for the domain. The cost is currently covered by Ziggy.
