Meetup Details

How would the world function without governments or traditional rulers?

This isn't about political debate; it's about designing possibilities and envisioning new societal structures. We'll explore:

  • What fundamental human needs would still exist and how would they be met?

  • How would essential services like healthcare, education, infrastructure (roads, energy, communication), security, justice, and social welfare be managed or reimagined without current governmental frameworks?

  • How would resources be distributed fairly and sustainably?

  • What new systems of organization, decision-making, and conflict resolution might emerge?

  • What role would technology play in facilitating or challenging these new models?

  • What challenges and opportunities would arise for individuals and communities in such a world?

IxDF Members might also be bringing their non-member friends to the meetup (and you're welcome to do the same), but their non-member friends will not be shown as “attending” because this feature is only available to members.

P.S.: Note that the number of attendees is not an indication of its value! Small meetups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
