About

Inspired by futurist and designer Jacque Fresco, Sociocyberneering is a multidisciplinary approach to create, facilitate and govern human behavior that implement best practices of social arrangement and social design for a higher standard of living in the better world. This project is a scientific study of social psychology, group dynamics, cultural and environmental effects on social development, physical infrastructure effects on behavior, access to public good and governance. The term “Sociocyberneering” was coined by Fresco in 1977, when he founded a membership organization in Miami, Florida, that promoted his ideas of social organization through implementation of effective city-system design. He proposed transition to a hypothetical new economic model for standardized production and resource management. In 1990 he founded The Venus project in Venus, Florida where his group built 10 futuristic-style buildings, to showcase his designs. This project sparked a global movement which made the world aware of new alternatives. Sociocyberneering seeks to continue Fresco's research and greatly expand his ideas, to develop social technologies that can be implemented today. As more challenges arise from shortcomings of our spontaneous and reactive evolution, we believe that proactive social engineering is the way of the future. Society isn't perfect. It is drowning in problems and contradictions: from arguments and discussion to the politics of utopian ideas. We call the solutions to these problems “social innovation”. Historically, social problems were solved spontaneously, yielding very short term results with unforeseen consequences. What we need today is reliable social technology that is task oriented, predictable and modifiable in the long run.
