… Continue 4. Traditional alliances like NATO or regional blocs no longer guarantee strict mutual defence, as countries increasingly prioritise self-interest over rigid alignments. Nations such as Qatar &Turkey exemplify this fluid and complex approach to geopolitics. 5. Today’s geopolitical landscape is highly complex, with historical patterns offering limited predictive value. The growing influence of non-state actors, multinational corporations, and global networks adds further layers of complexity. 6. Countries and cities are competing to attract young, mobile talent by offering opportunities, robust infrastructure, and progressive policies. In a world facing demographic stagnation, success depends on creating environments that appeal to this global workforce. 7. Stateless corporations and networks, such as tech giants and social media platforms, are emerging as powerful players. Operating independently of traditional states, they are reshaping governance, economic dynamics, and global influence.

We welcomed Para to Network School today, where he presented compelling insights on the need for adaptive governance and a bottom-up approach to understanding global dynamics. Some key points: 1. Transition to Multipolarity: The world has shifted from unipolar or bipolar dominance to a multipolar system with distributed power across regions and nations. 2. The Global Marketplace Analogy: Countries now operate in a global “marketplace,” competing to be the most trusted service providers. Nations pragmatically source investments, infrastructure, and technology from multiple powers, depending on their needs. 3. Adoption of Multi-Alignment: Many countries reject binary alliances, such as choosing between the U.S. or China, and instead pursue multi-alignment strategies. This approach allows them to leverage aid, investments, and defence partnerships from various regions simultaneously. TBC…

Excited to have @jessepollak from @base at Network School today for an energetic talk and fireside chat with @balajis.eth Here's a summary of his points: 🌐 The onchain ecosystem is shaping up to become the next version of the internet, offering faster and more accessible applications. 🔗 Layer 1 blockchains, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, provide the foundation, while layer 2 solutions, such as Base, significantly lower transaction costs. 📱 Decentralised platforms are unlocking diverse applications across sectors, from payments to social media, enhancing user engagement and empowering creators to monetise their work. 💱 As currencies transition onchain, competition will revolve around their functionality and features, driving governments to innovate and attract users. 🤖 Integrating AI and blockchain could pave the way for autonomous agents operating independently within a global economy. Thank you @jessepollak and the team!

Throwback to 2017... when I first stepped into the crypto world. Still remember the hum of the mining rig and the sauna-like vibe of that tiny room at home 😆

I always get what I want, But it’s never what I need. Only when it’s in my hands, I feel the emptiness, the greed. What I really need is small, So simple, yet so real. It’s been with me all along, But I forgot to feel. I took for granted what I hold, Chasing shadows in the night. But the brightest stars are always there, Hidden in plain sight.

A few of us tried out Ray Dalio’s PrinciplesYou test together at Network School, and it was interesting to see how many creator, shaper, and inventor types we have at school (no surprise there). My result is Inventor 😁 what’s yours? https://principlesyou.com/

In this week’s Network School lecture, we explored the histories of countries like China, Russia, India, and Singapore. One of the most interesting topics was American journalist Walter Duranty, who served as Stalin’s voice in the 1930s, in contrast to Gareth Jones, who courageously exposed the Ukrainian Holodomor. Here’s an article I wrote earlier about their stories—take a look! https://chiwijournal.substack.com/p/whos-afraid-of-mr-jones

Balaji mentioned how Solzhenitsyn had to secretly write “The Gulag Archipelago” while being watched by the KGB, hiding his manuscript in fear of arrest. He smuggled the work out of the USSR piece by piece, trusting a handful of friends, and even after the KGB seized his original copy, he managed to get a version published in the West. He risked his life and freedom to expose the truth. And now, here we are, writers today talking about “writer’s block” while sipping lattes at Starbucks? 😂
