So long, Star Tribune. Hello, video essays.

After drafting a 2,500-word piece for the newspaper about my visit to the Próspera and InfinitaCity startup societies in Honduras, I was notified they are no longer publishing longform commentary.

So, I'm transforming this story into a video essay. We'll see how this format feels and how well viewers/readers enjoy it.

Either way, I'm excited to share this story about these societal experiments—and what they tell us about present (and the future of) governments and society.
