GreenPill

New @greenpillnet season out now! 🌐 Hosted by Primavera De Filippi and Felix Beer, this episode kicks off a new Greenpill Mini-Series exploring Network Nations — translocal communities that use technology, shared culture, and bottom-up governance to organize beyond borders.

They discuss how Network Nations differ from Network States, the roots of this idea in commons-based governance, and how digital sovereignty, culture, and Web3 tools can empower civil society to act collectively across the world.
