42. Government as a Service: Building Tomorrow's Cities with Titus Gebel
What if you could subscribe to your government services like you subscribe to Netflix?
What if you knew exactly what you were paying for and could cancel anytime?
In this episode, Dr. Titus Gebel shares his vision of "free private cities" - a revolutionary approach where the relationship between citizens and government is based on a real service contract.
As an entrepreneur with a PhD in international law, Titus isn't just theorizing - he's actively building these cities. From innovative projects in Honduras to floating seasteading pods in Panama, we explore how these new forms of governance are already taking shape. We dive deep into what daily life might look like in 2074 when citizens become customers, and governments compete for residents like businesses compete for clients.
Key topics we explore:
Why traditional governance models might become obsolete
How free private cities handle security, dispute resolution, and basic services
The real-world challenges of building new cities with new rules
Why basic government services shouldn't cost more than $1,000-2,000 per year
The future of human organization: from nation-states to governance marketplaces
Whether you're frustrated with current political systems or curious about alternative ways to organize society, this conversation offers a fascinating glimpse into a possible future where you choose your government, not the other way around.
