👍 Born into a Facebook group?
I once listened to one of Estonia's creators of their e-citizenship.
He said that nations are great, but it's a bit like being born into a Facebook group - and only being allowed to belong to that group for the rest of your life.
If you are lucky, it's a group of sensible, funny, kind people.
If you are unlucky, it is a group of crazy conspiracy theorists.
There should be greater freedom of choice, he said.
Estonia sees itself as a startup company and because citizenship is central to a nation, they have started to transform that to a digital thing.
It is inspiring and something we can learn from - and of course become e-residents there.
