ive worked on a few IRL+URL projects: tech lead at cabin.city, cofounder of vibe.camp, and the ideas guy behind @farcon (that's right FC's a startup society of sorts)

i got big plans for this channel but first tell me -- what do you want to see more of here?

Equal parts *radical honesty* and *fantastical optimism*

Network States will only be a thought experiment at worst and online-born clubs at best, until they reach critical mass and are the only viable option to redirect the course of humanity towards a more sustainably thriving future.

Haha. Sorry, was leaning towards the optimistic stance assuming they would not be started by Lazarus, taken over by AI, and be the tool used to enslave us all. Other than that, I have high hopes and low expectations that NS can evolve to compete with physical States.

Thought experiment is the *worst* possible outcome? 

That's pretty good, then
