Gaming the Future: The Book!

Daily Sanity Preserver Phase 2: Today & Future Salons

 

The Foresight Sanity Preserver goes into the second phase of experimentation: Our hope is to create a global community around positive futures from COVID-19 and beyond. 

So far, we experimented with meeting twice a day to see how much interest from Europe, Asia, Africa and South America there is. A lot, it turns out!

Starting today, April 1, we’re experimenting with having one salon a day, either 9 am or 6 pm PT. 

The goal is to find a sustainable pattern that we can keep going – hopefully much beyond the current crisis – to birth a permanent point for connection for future-minded people across the world.

Will this be daily or weekly? topic-specific or open socializing? Join the salons and help us decide! 

Here are three ways to make sure you don’t miss a salon: 

1. Save the schedule to your browser: It is updated daily and contains all you need to know to stay up to date on the salons

2. Add the salons to your Google calendar: Don’t trust yourself to check the schedule? Get reminders and keep track of time zone differences

3. Join the Facebook event: We post daily speaker updates for the upcoming salons here

If you did miss one, fear not, our Youtube Playlist has them all.

Up next, at 6 pm PT today:

Better Cities, Better Laws: The Benefits of Charter Cities | Patri Friedman, Pronomos Capital



We are thrilled to have Patri Friedman for an introduction to Charter Cities and why they can be a solution to addressing future pandemics. When institutions are outmoded, corrupted, or failing, the result is untold human suffering. Workers are trapped in low wage jobs and dangerous working environments, children don’t get educated, adults can’t get quality healthcare, and people can’t start businesses to support their families. Yet, upgrading national institutions is notoriously difficult, and consensus on country-level changes should be slow and deliberate.

Patri Friedman worked at Google as an engineer from 2004-2008 and 2013-2019. In 2008 he founded the Seasteading Institute with seed funding from Peter Thiel, and in 2009 started Ephemerisle, the largest self-organizing festival on water. Patri is on the board of the Startup Societies Foundation, ran the angel fund Zarco Investment Group, and advises a variety of new governance projects.

The Foresight Daily Sanity Preserver seeks to:

 

  • Create community for future-minded isolating folks across the globe 
  • Make sense of COVID-19 and surface projects in need of support
  • Leverage the current crisis for change toward long-term beneficial futures

 

Can you help us grow community from this crisis?

 

  • Please share the Google calendar, the schedule and the Facebook event with your community so we can allow people from across the world to connect!
  • Help us keep this going by applying to speak at a future salon.

 We can’t wait to see you daily in the coming weeks!
