From the perspective of an anarcho-capitalist. Thanks!

I'm going to be 24 in 3 months and sometimes it genuinely freaks me out when I take a moment to stop and internalize the fact that I'm only 6 years away from 30. Like... I'm closer to 30 than I am to 15...

Not trying to spread panic but just wanted to ask if y'all ever get this too...

I am convinced that statism will end within the next 100 years; and with that I'm convinced that borders will also disappear, effectively ending the concept of nation states. Since the internet has connected the whole world, and traveling across continents is easier than ever, and English has become the global lingua-franca, there's no longer the barriers that lead to the evolution of local variations and uniqueness in culture. So given that, I wonder if local cultures will maintain a presence in a world where anyone is allowed to live anywhere.

For example let's say you have a place like Egypt where everyone speaks Arabic. Since borders no longer exist, anyone is allowed to move to what we call "Egypt" and live how they want. So if you go to Egypt in the year 2150, long after humanity has abandoned statism, what are the chances it will still be a predominantly Arabic-speaking location? And this can be said for every place. Do you think local places will still retain unique elements despite the free movement of people? Or will the whole world become really similar regardless of location?

Looking to see what ancaps think. Thanks!

As the younger generations are more liberal and believe in a more egalitarian worldview as opposed to a hierarchical one, could you see formal Вы falling out of use and everyone calling each other ты regardless of age, position, or how well you know someone? Are there any young Russians who are against Вы?

Just curious to hear people's thoughts. Thanks!

გამარჯობა ყველას, I'm Armenian and in our country there's a rather annoying culture of people being very rigid and inflexible about how you speak. You can be a native speaker and have a university degree but if you make ONE grammatical mistake people will stop the conversation to correct you or make fun of you. Meanwhile, native English speakers never care or point out if someone (native or foreign) makes a mistake or makes up new words for the sake of fun or creativity. My guess is that Armenians being strict about how language is used comes from the communists when everyone believed in one "right" way to do something.

So being that you guys were also part of the Soviet Union, do you also have this policing of how Georgian is used? Are you free to make up new words on your own and bend the rules a bit or will people tell you you're doing something wrong?

დიდი მადლობა!
