We’ve all had a moment where we arrived at the grocery store and can’t remember passing any of the stoplights along the way. We’re halfway down an aisle and scrambling to remember what we even needed. Our mind is in overdrive trying to sort through our ever-growing to-do list. We’ve been there when just making it through the next task is hard. But the normal stresses of life aren’t the only thing YOU have to deal with.

The Civium Mirage: Rebranding Utopia or Reinventing Control? | The Courtenay Turner Radio Hour

This week on The Courtenay Turner Radio Hour, Courtenay delivers a hard-hitting analysis of Jordan Hall’s Civium Project, the controversial notion of network states, and the provocative intersection of Christianity and Game~B ideology. Drawing on Hall’s recent public conversion and his presentations at the Startup Societies Foundation in Prospera, Courtenay scrutinizes whether these new movements are truly revolutionary—or simply a sophisticated rebranding of familiar ideas.
In this incisive one-hour monologue, Courtenay questions the substance behind Hall’s vision. Is the Civium Project just a high-tech update of the “smart city,” cloaked in philosophical jargon and digital utopianism? Are network states genuinely novel, or are they old forms of social engineering wrapped in new, buzzworthy packaging? Most provocatively, Courtenay interrogates Hall’s attempts to infuse Game~B and network state discourse with Christian liturgy and symbolism—raising the question: Is this an authentic spiritual revival, or a strategic appropriation of religious tradition for marketing and movement-building?
Listeners will hear:
A critical breakdown of Civium, network states, and their relationship to the smart city concept
An exploration of the risks and contradictions in merging ancient Christian liturgy with Game~B’s secular, techno-utopian ambitions
A skeptical look at whether Hall’s “meta-crisis” language and community rhetoric offer real solutions, or just repackage old problems in new terms
Reflections on Hall’s public conversion to Christianity, and whether his interpretation truly addresses the existential and communal crises he claims to solve—or merely substitutes one form of groupthink for another
Insights into the philosophical and theological debates sparked by Hall’s advocacy, including challenges from both secular and religious critics
If you’re seeking more than hype and want a fearless, critical perspective on the future of community, technology, and faith, don’t miss this episode of The Courtenay Turner Radio Hour. Tune in now for an unflinching exploration of the promises and pitfalls at the frontier of social innovation.
