Episode notes
Cloud Migration and Community Reorganization
- People are migrating to the cloud, spending more time interacting online than with physical neighbors.
- This shift is reorganizing communities based on shared interests rather than geography.
Reverse Diaspora
- Technology is making location less important, enabling remote work and access to goods and services.
- This facilitates the formation of reverse diasporas, where online communities gather physically.

- Reverse diasporas are forming based on shared interests, not geography or political ideology.
- These groups prioritize community and convenience over traditional notions of nation-states.
