No shade towards the Network School but it was announced one month away, that probably excludes 95% of potential applicants. Over indexes those who can drop everything and travel to a remote island, independently wealthy types. By design?

@balajis.eth mentions Indian engineers, African coders, Chinese liberals and Latin American libertarians. Can these folks drop their jobs for an eight week sabbatical? One month out?

I completely agree although since most people of his target audience will be in Singapore for his Network States conference I think he’s trying to capitalize on most people already being in the area and willing to extend their sabbatical and then those that can’t will plan to attend later in the island’s life cycle

There's definitely a subset that absolutely can; zuzalu was proof that they exist. In some cases, large parts of whole companies temporarily relocated. It certainly is a very small group relative to the populations of those countries as a whole. For a "round 1", asking unreasonable things of people may be fine, if the goal is to do a small experiment, and then you make the structure more accommodating for rounds 2+. But it's still possible to overshoot, and actually get lots of millionaires and zero students / young devs. I think if I were doing this I would give out lots of targeted scholarships. Or perhaps zuzalu 1.0's blanket "low-GDP country discount". CC @balajis.eth
