there's this intentional community in oakland called radish

it's actually a a 19-person multigenerational compound based on what they call the Obvious Truth: people are happiest and healthiest surrounded by people they love and admire

fascinating IRL case study that makes me question the power of a network state

network states are an anti-woke take on these kinds of projects which have been around for a long time

network states are downstream of the @balajis.eth book in spirit, which emphasizes making exit from woke-captured institutions easier partially through the application of technology

all depends on how define success or scale, but what happened to me at vibecamp in comparison to how a perceived woke-captured institution would have handled it is a good example of the overhead that network states can now refuse vs what has been viewed as a bare minimum in the default world

hmmm interesting. how does the anti-wokeness make them more or less positioned for success or scale? 

haven’t thought about it that way, but interesting new POV. my mental model is one focuses on IRL connection and the other on URL, so more tech-driven.
