An alien visits earth. He sees our cities, our governments, our moral codes. He's curious, "What's are you trying to do here?" he asks the humans.
The humans respond: "We're trying to get coordinated".
Coordination is how humanity rose above the animals. Built the pyramids. Put a man on the moon.
We've coordinated as hunter-gather societies in tribes. As agrarian societies in kingdoms. As industrial societies in nation states.
And now...as information societies in digital nations like Ethereum and Bitcoin. This. Changes. Everything.
Covered:
Uh...why are we here? What's the point? A nation is more than a nation state! The thing that makes humans special Getting past Dunbar's number The rise & limits of nation states The next evolution of the nation How you become a citizen of Ethereum Join us next Monday for a fresh episode!
