Network States

Was there any geopolitics discussion at the network state conf? Like, "what role should the network state movement have in the context of politics in many major countries worldwide going totally crazy, driving out talent and putting us at risk of an even-more-major war in the next 10 years?" or any similar questions?

not sure, but my answer would be along the lines of "the protocol on which this sits should be fully operational & beneficial regardless of the national/collusional/delusional baggage on which it's appended".
