In @balajis https://t.co/pzgRd4E5b4 there is a line about “history as written to the ledger vs history written by the victors”, that made me curious: Wikipedia edit wars are a thing, but the edit history assuages me. Are there cases where histories have been wiped by victors?

This is why I think @balajis' 'Network State' model has legs: it's already the case among forward-looking elites with the agency to engineer their working lives. And everything in American life starts at the top before percolating down to everyone to some extent.

@balajis notes in his book that, men of God offer "thoughts and prayers". This has been mocked and substituted increasingly by men of "Gov" with "go out and vote". But, as State capacity declines, we're seeing young people mock "go out and vote" chant too - and rightfully so.

Vitalik Buterin's review of 'The Network State' by Balaji Srinivasan is a fascinating analysis not only of Balaji's work but also of numerous 'on-chain' social technologies being experimented with globally to bootstrap next-gen communities. Here's a link: https://t.co/gIKHkKFkdc

Nice article about @VitalikButerin impressions on the book "The Network State", showing broad possibilities that can be created on top of crypto technology. It might look sci-fi now, but there's a lot of space for interesting future debates on it! #crypto https://t.co/Ws7Vt0vNMi

Imagine a #Saitama network state. We have #SaitaCity coming but that's only a part of what can be done. Another stage is #SaitamaWolfPack buying up land to build an actual town on. We could vote on town leadership, say a council of members of different ages, colours + genders

今日读到 @balajis The Network State 书中讲到： Communities are Causes First, Companies Second 想起 2019 年提出「大社区，小公司」和「公司是社区中的一个特殊角色」。 现在来看，虽有局部共识，却无基础设施，更无有效行动，公司与其它社区成员也没有达成广泛一致。 终究是现实压倒了理想。

Network state thesis will seem obvious in retrospect. Crazy how non-consensus it is today

I have a hunch that a network state will want a single form of stable, identity, reputation, and share token while federating duplicates out to sub-DAOs or subdivisions However, the element making a network state desirable to join will be the futures, loyalty, and ticket tokens

@JonathanBCrabb The Network State looks interesting. Are you building a new company, community, or currency? Or all three? Also, hard to go wrong with Lewis.

BTC is a bridge, both between the physical and digital economies and between the political state and the network state. A unique hybrid asset with a foot in both worlds. But this bridge is under-financed and thus under-developed—it's taking longer to build than it should. https...

A nation node is a network state that is voluntary for all participants, governed by consensus and transacting & recording decisions on the #Bitcoin blockchain.

The entirety of Balaji Srinivasan's book is on this topic. This isn't just some out-there idea. It's critical for the continuation of humanity thriving. The old foundations are failing. Time for new ones. https://t.co/S8woffRce9

What we should be thinking through is how the Network State(s) will deal with the very possible massive and real future Bitcoin hack or failure. I almost wrote Vitkoin there. 2/9

Network State: A highly aligned online community with a capacity for collective action that crowdfunds territory around the world and eventually gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states. Ex: @afropolitan and @PraxisSociety

My 49th book of 2022 was The Network State by @balajis. He's great at linking all sorts of nerdy concepts with current and past geopolitics. Will a network state arise, and do we want them? I'm not sure yet, but he makes a convincing case that it could. Lots of good resources.

@rahmin Forward party could drive disruption in the stale 2 party system. Network State by Bajalai very long term. Systems to vote in electors but still connect their future legislative votes to feedback from their constituents.

is Balaji's Network State the next "little red book" for the connected youth? It has the capacity to become one: good rationale, a great explanation of History, a thought leader, and most important of all, an agenda.
