Jacque Fresco lays out transition plan
I think I saw Dr Fresco on Zeitgeist the first time with that Venus Project. I remember thinking that we're capable of such things, even if the rest of the doccie was complete tinfoil hats. I like his quotes too. A lot. It donates atoms of hope to my reserves.— Τiεηiε βεsτεr (@tieniebester) March 1, 2020

Jacque Fresco admits he doesn't have a PHD
Fresco and having a degree
What is the best way to use the information that Fresco perhaps misled/lied in interviews about a degree? This is one example in link below, when he claimed to be a Dr. with a degree in psychology from Sierra University Los Angeles. He also allowed himself to be introduced as a doctor on his Larry King interview. Source about his academic background from old newspaper article preserved.

- If there is a third party source that addresses the issue then we can report what they say. However, whether it has due weight would be arguable. The best available is the 1961 article that talks about his psychology consultations.--Biophily (talk) 06:18, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

- Fresco lied obviously about his education and this proves it from this article [6] If you remove that information you are acting as an employee of Venus Project and promoter and not interested in neutral presentation. Since you work for Fresco... have made a film about him and spent so much of your time advocating and promoting him you must refrain from removing critical and interesting information. Fresco claimed to be a Doctor. He did that again on Larry King show. Period. Earl King Jr. (talk) 14:53, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- If you'd pay attention you would see that I didn't remove that info. And actually, I don't know it is a lie. How do you know it is a lie?
- Furthermore, keep in mind that info is included because it has due weight, not because you have a grudge against it.--Biophily (talk) 02:37, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
- Fresco is not a Doctor, or a "social engineer, structural engineer, architectural designer, industrial engineer"... He doesn't even finished elementary school! May be he can call himself social engineer or architectural designer because these are not college degrees, but the other two are. Germanburguener (talk) 04:44, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

- For some reason the article previously went on and on about all the things that Fresco did when many of the things he claims he did never happened or if they did happen had little to no effect on society. Fresco has promoted himself very adamantly. Perpetuating that he is a doctor is really bad. At least now the article makes it more clear that he claimed to be a doctor though was not one. Earl King Jr. (talk) 12:35, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
- The world BEHOLD! The Crusaders of Truth and Righting of Great Wrongs!!!
- Regardless of your prejudices, it is not up to Wikipedia editors to emphasize that point. Nor is it up to us to make those clarification. Unless the sources emphasize and clarify the "doctor's degree" issue, it really doesn't have due weight. The best thing to due to downplay that whole issue until sources publish on that issue.--Biophily (talk) 19:19, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

How Jacque Fresco envisioned 2006
A Trip to the Moon
In the earthbound world of 2006, he foresees flying arrowheads, elevators that move horizontally as well as vertically and cars that need no drivers. Fresco sees no reason not to expect an entire new electronic world within the next 50 years. “After all, we never expected to see atomic energy in our time” he suggests. He pictures an America of tomorrow connected by cross-country canals which will solve irrigation, flood control and transportation problems. His city of the future features National centers with buildings radiating out from the circular main structure. He envisions elevators that run underground from building to building, then up and down to various levels. Automobiles he sees as teardrop shapes topped with transparent plastic which automatically turns dark in the glare of sunlight. A photo-electric effect, similar to the negative process, makes possible the color change. Fresco’s cars would have proximity control, making collisions impossible, but the allowing the door to slide open and the seat to swing out to meet the driver when he approaches. A bottom worn by the motorist send out a signal which sets the door mechanics interaction, Fresco explains. Claiming already to have perfected an invention four wing de-icing, fresco expects the same principle to eliminate the need for windshield wipers. His theory is a probe which reaches out to measure the electrical charge in raindrop our snowflake and automatically sets the wing or windshield to take the…would be kept…never strike the object thus protected. Fresco pictures a turbo-jet helicopter which incorporates the plane body with the propeller blades for more speed. While the whole copter rotates, the pilot sits stationary in a central control chamber on wheels.
Fresco moved to Miami with his wife and three-year-old son about seven months ago, to escape Los Angeles smog. For the past seven years he had operated his scientific research laboratories in Los Angeles. It was there that he built his models of the world of tomorrow. He also worked as a movie technical adviser during the time. A Los Angeles concern now is perfecting his invention of stereoptician photographs, which do not require glasses, he says. Claiming a doctor’s degree in psychology from Sierra State University of Los Angeles, Fresco was a corporal with the Air Force design development division at Wright Field for 18 months, during World War II. He became interested in electronics while conducting psychological and physiological studies of vision and the working of the human mind, he says.
