In this episode we're discussing Balaji Srinivasan's book 'The Network State'

We're focusing on a one sentence definition of the Network State as outlined in the book:

“A network state is a social network with a moral innovation, a sense of national consciousness, a recognized founder, a capacity for collective action, an in-person level of civility, an integrated cryptocurrency, a consensual government limited by a social smart contract, an archipelago of crowdfunded physical territories, a virtual capital, and an on-chain census that proves a large enough population, income, and real estate footprint to attain a measure of diplomatic recognition.”

You can read the book for free here https://thenetworkstate.com/

Balaji Srinivasan's "The Network State" is a controversial idea that suggests that a state can be unified by a single commandment. While this may seem like a radical idea, Srinivasan argues that it could actually be very beneficial for a state. He argues that a network state would be more efficient and would be better able to adapt to change.

In this episode we try to explore the possibilities and roadblocks that the network state enthusiasts may encounter in the future.
