Network states mean nothing and everything at the same time

no kings. only working on impossible things.

lol absolutely.

COULD a permissionless social protocol develop into a digital state? sure!

but goddamn have people lowered the bar for what they think a "state" is

But even digital nation seems like such a stretch to me, at least when referring to farcaster. If farcaster is a digital nation than so is every other social media platform!

there is something infinitely infuriating about the term "Network State" 

because, as Balaji defined it, *IT IS JUST A STATE*

but everyone else wants it to mean "digital nation"!!!

GAH!

At the very least it's a state since that's in the name and how Balaji defines in the book. And they don't exist

If they meant enough to be definable they would be either impossible or regulated away?

The theory that the entire thing is a performance art gets stronger by the day

these anti-state people sure want everything to be a “state”
