I admired the man for his persistence and rational way of thinking. Misunderstood and underappreciated. There's a Doug Stanhope bit where he says he sometimes feels like he's living in a world where everyone is starving to death and his "job" as a comedian is to point out all the food that everywhere and all around. And people look at home like he's a funny idiot when he points out the food and nobody takes him seriously.

That's how I imagine Jacque must have felt.

Oh boy... Ummm. He was at the end of that rather good documentary... Zeitgeist. His pod cities looked horrible though.

I remember Jacque Fresco. He was certainly a productive creative visionary. I disagreed with some of his fundamental assumptions on how to best apply technology solutions to mankind, but he did inspire many.

For me, Jacque Fresco can be compared to Henry Darger.
