It feels like some of the momentum of the "let's explore alternatives to SF" movement has weakened since 2021, with AI and "back to the office" mandates contributing to re-centralization. What are your updated thoughts on how we can cleave apart that network effect to create more practical freedom of location?

Have you read the new @vitalik.eth "d/acc" post? (tldr, his version of techno-optimism - https://warpcast.com/vitalik.eth/0x827fc6cb) If so, how compatible does it seem with the Gray / Network State movements?

Props to you for showing up on Modi's radar, that's crazy 🤯 As someone living in the US, what are some action items for me to get more involved in the Indian tech scene? What's missing there that folks in the US/UK take for granted? How can people create content that bridges the western & Indian tech ecosystems?

How do you come up with all your catch phrases? Do they occur to you spontaneously? Do you ever decide a concept deserves a catch phrase?

Are network states composable? Will there be such a thing as a network of network states? (Cities, states, countries, unions) Is there a need for it?
