No Need to Argue. Just Build | Niklas Anzinger & Richard Hanania
Niklas Anzinger\xa0is the founder and General Partner of Infinita, the first Pr\xf3spera-based VC fund, which invests in founders overcoming regulatory capture in crypto, biotech and hardware through network states and startup cities.\xa0He\u2019s also one of the 100 or so residents of Pr\xf3spera.
This was quite an optimistic conversation. The title of the podcast comes from the last thing Niklas said, which was that you don\u2019t actually need attention or to talk about grand projects, but just to show the world what you can do.
Niklas is part of the charter city movement, which seeks to build hubs of innovation and progress while bringing the rule of law and economic development to poorer regions of the world. In this eventful conversation, Richard and Niklas touch on
* The mechanics of governance in Pr\xf3spera
* Getting around red tape and becoming a hub of medical innovation
* Amenities and quality of life in the city
* Upcoming conferences and events
Despite a new government in Honduras that is hostile to charter cities, Niklas is optimistic that they will be able to continue operating. He and Richard also talk about potential medical breakthroughs that Pr\xf3spera might help bring about, like bacteria that remove cavities from your mouth, and a currently available gene therapy that may make your muscles and bones stronger.
