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 state feels primarily digital and URL to me, only starting to focus on the power of "pop up" communities but not multigenerational communities whereas radish has demonstrated that there is community -> neighborhood pipeline where people want to live close together IRL and incorporates raising children

the whole concept of network state is start URL and move IRL. how's that contradictory to the example you mentioned?

oops current discussions about network states make me lose interest before we even get to the point of me learning about long-term IRL living

read that sentence out loud to yourself and then tell me how that is going to appeal to the average person looking for a family-oriented, tight-knit community neighborhood "online community" "crowdfunds territory" "gains diplomatic recognition" for real???? now compare that to radish's the obvious truth

i'm just pointing out the whole concept of Network States is URL->IRL pipeline which seems to have been disputed/overlooked above when discussing 'the power of a network state'. the power and appeal of Balaji's prose to the average radish person is quite a different topic that i'm personally agnostic to even if i were to think that they were imagined as the primary audience of the book which obviously is not the case.
