Neighborhoods

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

/ted | exploring the onchain frontier | surfing @ venice, ca | eating @ gjusta / gjelina

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

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

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

that def sounds more appealing to me 

i grew up in a neighborhood that was kinda like this just by accident and it was awesome

I think this is a common misunderstanding about network societies. 

Some people think it’s the first thing you said, but it’s actually the second thing you said. Or at least that’s how we think about it at @cabin
