"We are a gathering of radical entrepreneurs -- those who are both open-minded dreamers and critical thinkers; both idealists and practical problem solvers. We want to make more than a profit. We want to leave a dent in the universe."
How AWESOME does that sound?
Eureka! I've found something!
With all the buzz about Anarchapulco and everyone I follow on Steemit seeming to be there, I feel like I'm majorly missing out on some quality anarchy. I just found out about Anarchapulco a few months ago. Guess I'm a terrible anarchist lol. But I found something else that's similar that I'm gonna try and go to. It's called Voice and Exit, and it's just a few hours from me in Austin, Texas.
From their website (link above):
"WHAT DOES “VOICE & EXIT” MEAN?
The name “Voice & Exit” was inspired by an essay titled Exit, Voice, and Loyalty (1970) by Albert O. Hirschman. The concept is that to influence positive change within a society or community, we have three options. We can voice our opinions to try and persuade others to change (this includes creative endeavors within the group aimed at making changes). We can remain loyal even if we disagree with a given group. Or we can exit said group and bound outward into the beautiful unknown to create anew. Which one do you think is our favorite? “Voice & Exit” celebrates the power of persuasion and creativity (Voice) + the bold willingness to explore new frontiers (Exit) all in pursuit of human flourishing."
Browsing through their speakers, there's a huge assortment of topics, from garage entrepreneurship to artificial intelligence, to replacing government with the blockchain. Lots of stuff to get excited about, and I won't need a passport.
I'm gonna try and go. This won't be the last I write about this thing. As I learn more, I'll share what I know. Maybe I'll get to meet a few of y'all there! We'll see how it goes.
Stay relevant y'all

P.S. I'm gonna be away from the internet for a few days. Please don't think I'm ignoring anyone. I'll catch up soon with a new post about my favorite place on Earth.
