In this interview, Nathanael Dinwiddie and Theofilos Chaldezos, the new directors of The Venus Project, admitted that The Venus Project’s vision and plans are defined and limited by what they have found on the Internet. And it is constantly changing. Why is there no specificity in what they say? – Because the New The Venus Project no longer has a clear proposal and plan, but rather options, and there are countless options, and each option has its own sub-options, and approaches, and possible futures, and everyone can find their own option to like-but they have to work under the guidance of these same directors.
This interview confirms our research with direct official responses. Jacques Fresco’s “The Venus Project” really doesn’t exist anymore and it’s all considered “obsolete” in favour of eco-villages, permaculture, local self-sufficiency, and Nate and Simon Michaux’s vision of a conspiracy theories in science and energy, in preparation for the coming “apocalypse” or as they call it, Polycrisis.
Every other sentence they convince us that they haven’t deviated from Jacques Fresco, but it felt like a search for excuses with quotes taken out of context rather than a matter-of-fact explanation.
As Nate says, “The new The Venus Project, it’s just another level of abstraction, of a higher order than Jacques.” The transformation into a philosophy club is becoming more and more pronounced. You can now spend months arguing about things that don’t exist and never will, going through endless options and sub-options. Leaving the role of judge to the directors.
Simon Michaux (as well as his non-peer-reviewed, 3 year old, study) is highly praised and talked about as a defining piece of work for the new The Venus Project! … – well, Simon’s podcasts expose the pseudoscience, conspiracies, and flimsy research in their plans. Perhaps by emphasizing uncertainty and many options, there is a desire to hide the real plan they are working on now with Simon Michaux, which is uncomfortable for the established public on whose support and donations they depend.
Read our research to find out the details. Two and a half months after this document was published, we still haven’t seen any responses from Nate. Why? There are only their own quotes there, and what can be denied in their own words?

I have been at the center of all this dirrection for over 13 years and can tell you a lot of things, from detailed explanation of Jacque Fresco’s original proposals, to experience of working with the movement, to little known and insider information.
I have organized the most successful and effective team of The Venus Project movement, now represented by Designing The Future, as well as the 1.5 million subscriber Jacque Fresco channel, small and large events, radio and TV interviews, working with universities and schools, organizing events, running a network of groups in 60 cities with regular meetings, and much more. Exposed and fought fraudulent companies and initiatives to protect The Venus Project’s reputation.
Organized and negotiated the construction of The Venus Project’s smart city, with the then living Jacque Fresco, which was their best chance. This has now evolved into a full-fledged smart city project and test site for the development of the entire industry of smart cities, called “Mission on Earth”, which will be launched soon, late 2024-early 2025, and we’re directly involved.
After the new directors of The Venus Project changed course, I strongly opposed it without hesitation, especially knowing the details of the gamble – taking the side of Jacque Fresco’s original ideas. Whatever the outcomes, I will continue what I have started, with the goal of giving humanity a chance to move toward a resource-based economy, or at least to point society in the right direction. I hope you will join us.
