All over the world, citizenship—the right to belong somewhere—is tied to nation-states. If you don’t belong to one, it’s almost as if you don’t exist. However, there was once a time when nothing was more natural for our ancestors than to move around, discover new horizons, and share what they had with each other. With the development of agriculture, though, people began to settle and claim their own land and possessions. They clustered in villages and towns, shifted from foraging to farming, and came to rely on bureaucrats and sovereigns to manage their lives, to keep them safe. And they let those in charge become wealthy and powerful.

This is a conversation that is long overdue. The violence of borders and nation-states is becoming more obvious now than ever. My question is if capitalism is closely connected to the order of things and if this change would happen now that this system is reinforcing itself?

Interesting. A debate worth pursuing. Need some catalyst. Is pandemic enough?

“Today, if you wanted to pioneer a New World, where would you go?” An artist and entrepreneur envisions a world after the pandemic in which citizenship is untethered from borders, and networks replace nations. A fairy tale and a series of video polemics."

“Awesome” is NOT an awesome comment. “Nice” is NOT a nice addition to the dialogue. “Interesting” is NOT usually interesting to others. “Wow” will NOT wow anyone. “Good” is usually a BAD response. “Upvote” is a quick path to a DOWN vote. On the Relevant platform you can earn REL Coins form upvoting and betting on RELEVANT content (see it’s right in the name). There is no benefit to posting irrelevant comments. They are a nuisance. If you think an article or comment is valuable, upvote it, but do not post anything unless it is genuinely going to add real value to the dialogue. TLDR Version DO: Upvote and bet/stake on RELEVANT CONTENT Downvote all irrelevant spam DO NOT: Post in the wrong community Post irrelevant content Post short, superficial, responses Post airdrops, scams, etc Troll for upvotes
