Timothy Allen talks with Kris Kaleta.

Kris Kaleta is a digital nomad and technologist who is doing some absolutely fascinating post-graduate research on virtual Libertarian communities.  

Our conversation touches on many aspects of his work from digital politics to emerging governance models and the contemporary phenomenon of online communities manifesting in real life.  Kris has been a keen observer of the Free Cities movement since the start so he has a lot of great insights into the future of what many are calling the emerging free market of living together.

Other subjects include: Episodic narrative enquiry, the future of the internet, the marketplace for ideas, Agorism, freedom technology, trans-humanism and flag theory.
