Can Anarchy Work? Ideals, Flaws, and Reality
A 60-minute session on whether people can live together without anyone in charge. Not the political theory, but the places we already try it: empty signals at midnight, gully cricket with no umpire, shared flats with no chore chart, shops with no shopkeeper, floods where strangers step in before the police. When nobody is watching, do people get better or worse? Twelve independent cards; open three or four.
How we do this
Be respectfulDisagree with the point, never the person.
Raise your hand to speakSo nobody has to talk over anybody.
Keep it shortSay the thing, then let the next person in.
Discussion is encouragedReply to each other, not just to the question.
Tangents are allowedIf the room follows it, it is the discussion.
This is a safe spaceWhat is said here stays in the room.
