GeekSpeak - 2023! Where will it take us? Join the discussion Saturday, December 31st at 12pm SLT

 

What are your predictions, hopes, and fears, for 2023 and beyond?

Will we see asteroid mining, a moon base, people on Mars?  Worldwide democracy, an end to war?  A cure for cancer?

Or will we see World War 3?  And the collapse of civilisation? And new pandemics from artificial viruses?

Where do you see Europe, USA, Iran, China, Russia going in 2023? 

Tell us what you fear and hope for, for the world or personally. Where are we all going? And what do you want for yourself in this new year?

Join us at GeekSpeak on Saturday at noon SLT to talk about the future, and what we all hope from it.

IM Vulcan Viper teaches a meditation class every Wednesday in the GeekSpeak auditorium if you have ideas for new subjects.

GeekSpeak subject for Saturday July 2nd at noon SLT: Where do you see the world heading?

 

Are we facing nuclear war, the end of democracy, pandemics, a burning planet, extinction?  Will we go down the drain and be forgotten?  Or is there a new future ahead of us?  Peace, cures for all diseases, space exploration?

Are we facing problems or opportunities?  Or are we facing both, depending on what we do about them?  What can we do to make the future a better place?  Are you hopeful or fearful?  Do you think that humanity will disappear?  Or last forever?

Come to GeekSpeak at noon SLT on Saturday to talk about the next 10 or 50 or 500 years for humans.  Bring a friend!

IM Vulcan Viper, who teaches a meditation class every Wednesday in the GeekSpeak auditorium, if you have ideas for new subjects.

GeekSpeak - What is the Best Form of Government? Saturday June 4th at 12pm

This week we will discuss the different forms of democracy, representative, direct and liquid democracy.  We will also talk about other forms of government such as communism, meritocracy and futarchy.

Which one is best?  What makes a country change its form of government?  Should there be any government in Second Life or on large internet communities such as Facebook?

Is a world government possible? Do you want a world government?  Will it ever be possible to vote on the internet for a local or world government?

Or maybe you think the less government the better?  Is anarchism best of all?

Come and discuss world politics in GeekSpeak
