A very timely provocation after I had this exact conversation with a peer last week. Thank you @Rhodri_H_Davies for presenting a nuanced thought experiment of what the 'imagined' ideal society might mean for civil society and democracy.
@Rhodri_H_Davies @Alliancemag And another question for you @Rhodri_H_Davies: do current governance structures support the adoption of new technologies or what would need to be changed in order to increase more general tech engagement?
@Rhodri_H_Davies @Alliancemag Really interesting, thank you for being at the forefront. Do you know of any funders who are thinking about this more deeply or are creating spaces for discussion?
