Can civilization evolve to a new stage beyond the city? Join us in our thought-provoking conversation with Jordan Hall, the founder of the Civium Project, as we explore the concept of civium, the future of communication and collaboration, and the potential for a human-scale civilization. Discover how Jordan's diverse background in technology companies, law, and theology led him to tackle some of the most pressing questions facing our world today.

We dive into the fascinating work of biologist Geoffrey West, who uncovered the super linear scaling factor in cities that can be used as an engine to attract people and boost innovation. Learn how this concept relates to the extended body of civilization and the role technology plays in our urbanization and development. Plus, we discuss the implications of increased virtual communication, and the consequences of decoupling the network from the city, as seen in Amazon's recent decision to no longer allow remote work.

To wrap up, we explore the importance of consciously designing our cities and environments around human relationships, cultural dynamics, and rituals to help us thrive and have a lower negative impact on the environment. Furthermore, Jordan and I discuss the concept of AGI, or artificial general intelligence, and how emerging technologies could lead to a new round of disruption on the same scale as the personal computer or language, ultimately reshaping our mentality of scarcity and abundance.
