Network States

Welcome to the Network School.

Apply online at ns.com. Doors open on Sep 23, the day after the Network State Conference in Singapore. Full announcement is below. Oh, and everything we're doing is built on Farcaster.

I look forward to seeing you there!

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?

i'm also disappointed that it's being marketed as being on an island "near singapore" when it's literally in johor (a part of malaysia, the country next to it but no mention of)

according to the accommodation pics on ns.com, appears to look like a hotel in forest city

here’s their website vs forest city hotel side

not sure why ai was used to recreate it

hahah huh, that's weird. the announcement makes it sound like they bought an island, that's not the case?

i was also under that impression but if it’s actually forest city then doubt so. looking back at the wording “we got an island” seems to try to vaguely imply that lol

but forest city became mostly abandoned with low vacancy anyway:

wow - that's a really interesting read. in a lot of ways it's set up really well for network state experimental stuff. half abandoned city with tons of brand new housing available
