Summary:

Logos Circle came to the LSE for its May edition, co-hosted with the LSE Blockchain Society and chaired by Dr Jon Cardoso-Silva of the Data Science Institute. The session opened with a roundtable introduction from each attendee before moving into the central question that anchors the Circle: what is Logos, and what does it offer a generation inheriting legacy systems of debt, surveillance, and corruption?

Rather than approach the topic abstractly, the room worked through Logos as a movement for sovereign technology and a revitalised civil society - an alternative to institutions that can be captured, or quietly turned against the people they are meant to serve.

Outline of what was discussed

The workshop moved through five connected themes:

1. Logos as a movement for sovereign tech and a revitalised civil society: an alternative to legacy systems of debt, surveillance, and corruption.
2. Why privacy is needed: where it matters, when it matters, and what is lost when it is absent.
3. Logos architecture in practice: concrete examples of where and when the stack can be used.
4. Sovereignty, technology, and cryptography: the foundations that make self-governance technically possible.
5. Open discussion: surfacing the apps and services participants depend on, and where they feel most exposed.
