The Network State explores ideas surrounding digital communities and the future of how we coordinate as a species. A startup society fosters the emergence of network unions, which evolve into a network archipelago—eventually calcifying into the network state. As we muse about the fate of human systems, we explore mental models for understanding the digital revolution and how we can allow coordination to thrive. ------ 📣 Forta | Help Make Web3 a Safer Place https://bankless.cc/Forta ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: http://podcast.banklesshq.com/ ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🚀 ROCKET POOL | ETH STAKING https://bankless.cc/RocketPool ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum ❎ ACROSS | BRIDGE TO LAYER 2 https://bankless.cc/Across 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET https://bankless.cc/Brave 🌴 MAKER DAO | DECENTRALIZED LENDING https://bankless.cc/MakerDAO 🔐 LEDGER | SECURE STAKING https://bankless.cc/Ledger ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 6:19 Common Denominators 8:50 Micro vs. Macro History 15:15 The Network State 19:05 Online Communities 23:50 Nation vs. The State 36:20 Why A Nation State 40:18 The One Commandment 1:02:44 Being Inside the Network State 1:08:00 Bankess x the Network State 1:13:38 What’s the Incentive? 1:19:30 Violence’s Role 1:33:48 Non-Wealthy Critique 1:38:53 Everyone Joins the Network State 1:44:20 Network State Action Items 1:48:46 Closing & Disclaimers ------ Resources: Balaji https://twitter.com/balajis The Network State https://thenetworkstate.com/ Dashboard https://thenetworkstate.com/dashboard Vitalik’s Review https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/07/13/networkstates.html#what-is-a-network-state One Commandment https://thenetworkstate.com/the-one-commandment FDIC Insured Bank Charts & Fintech Tweets https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1351068210930601984 ----- Not financial or tax advice.
