Naval on federalism and city states. “I think one common factor you see in the Enlightenment, the free-thinking eras that we know about, is a high degree of federalism. And that means like lots of small city states next to each other. So for example, ancient Greece, you had a lot of little city states. In the era of the Enlightenment, you had a lot of little city states and small municipalities in Europe. And there was also the age of exploration was going on. So people were very free to like go to different places.

And what you generally find is like in those kinds of environments, people can sort of freedom shop. You know, they can go to the area that is most allowing them to be free. And if that starts becoming oppressive, they can just go next door. And it's culturally fairly similar, and it's geographically not very far away. But yeah, all the smart people are now gathering here, right? All the free thinkers are now gathering over there.” Von Arjun Khemani Podcast: Naval Ravikant: The Beginning of Infinity, 18.
