«Gaia – The Future of Politics» is an experimental video from 2008 that outlines possible future scenarios and was created by Gianroberto Casaleggio. The aim is to get people thinking about the big questions about the future of society and the relationship between the digital and change.
Gaia, a new world order, was born today, August 14, 2054. Ideological, religious, territorial and racial conflicts are a thing of the past. Every human being is a citizen of the world subject to the same law. The Internet has led the change, spreading communication knowledge and organization on a planetary scale. The Pyramids of Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, the Basilica of the Holy Wisdom are demonstrations of power. The Roman Empire survived for centuries thanks to the road network, the cursus publicus. Genghis Khan creates a web of horsemen to provide real-time communications throughout his empire, the greatest of all time, concentrating his entire forces on a single objective in a matter of days.
Savonarola, a Ferrara monk who preceded Martin Luther and John Calvin, invented the "Open Letters," which were printed in hundreds and distributed to the citizens of Florence. The French Revolution draws on the ideas of Diderot and D'Alembert's Encyclopedia and Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary. Benito Mussolini used the radio to communicate with people gathered in every square in Italy. Leni Riefsenthal's films bring great popularity to Adolf Hitler. The first broadcast of a House of Commons session in the UK is broadcast on BBC radio in 1975.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the fate of the world is still determined by Masonic, religious and financial groups. 130 of the world's most influential people, the Bilderberg Group, hold private meetings each year to deliberate on the future of the world economy. Before there was the internet, communication, knowledge and organization belonged to power. With the web, they belong to the people.
