What we’re about
Globalizing Ideas
Thanks to our growing community, we can debate big ideas with people all over the world... Simultaneously!!
https://ideas-exchange.info/en/
Join our global community of minds and share with people in different countries and from all backgrounds thorough our weekly online debates. Imagine debating with people in 10 different countries at the same time... How awesome is that?
This is a safe, inclusive and respectful space designed to talk to other humans, learn from one another and implement our ideas, in all relevant aspects of life.
We will discuss both “big” and “small” ideas, talking about the past, present, and future, the ideal world and our everyday reality.
Each Meetup will have a main focus subject, with a wide margin to explore other interesting topics.
Our main rule:
“I do not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
Some subjects we’ll explore:
• Human wellbeing and psychology
• Relationships and family
• Society, economics and politics
• Lifestyles, cultures and languages
• Technology and futurism
• Philosophy, religions and ideologies
• The “why” and “what for” of life
And many more, that we’ll decide on together…
Welcome to the global community of Ideas Exchange!

You can book your space in a few easy steps.
Across democracies, something fundamental seems to be breaking. Governments struggle to pass basic legislation. Shutdowns and stalemates have become routine. Compromise—once the lifeblood of effective politics—feels extinct. And millions of citizens, across countries and ideologies, describe the same feeling: the system isn’t working anymore.
Why are our institutions suddenly so fragile? How did cooperation turn into open hostility? And why does it increasingly seem that anger, distrust, and spectacle are replacing the slow, steady work of governing?
From rising populist frustration to the collapse of functional bipartisanship, from domestic gridlock to rising global tensions, we’ll gather to explore the forces that have pushed modern politics to the brink—and what it might take to repair it.
Coffee or tea in hand, we’ll dive into a candid, accessible conversation about one of the defining questions of our time:
When governments can’t govern, what happens to society?
Key Topics We’ll Explore
· Government paralysis: shutdowns, gridlock, and institutions struggling to deliver even basic functions.
· The collapse of cooperation: why bipartisanship vanished, moderates disappeared, and politics became a zero-sum fight.
· Populist anger and distrust: the sense that “the system” ignores ordinary people, and why outsider candidates thrive.
· Global tensions in the background: how instability abroad and polarization at home reinforce each other.
· Tribalization and truth gaps: political identity hardening into social identity, alongside disinformation and echo chambers.
· Economic frustration: rising resentment fueled by cost-of-living pressures and regional inequalities.
· Politics as spectacle: leaders and parties prioritizing outrage, performance, and virality over actual governance.
We’ll gather — coffee or tea in hand — to explore what are the real implications of a broken politics and a government that isn’t working anymore.
