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?

I don’t remember trad politics being a direct subject on stage More about stuff that is infrastructure for a new parallel politics (eg, real estate, education, finance)

I wonder if it's right or wrong to eschew trad politics. On the one hand you build a bigger coalition and avoid alienating anyone, but on the other hand you risk failing to discuss real-world issues that the movement needs to react to, and obscuring fault lines that might re-emerge in a more destructive way later

Gray cant friendly banter its way into a seat at any table, it needs be efficient and effective at communicating and translating a Gray way of being

> Friends, family, community aren’t problems for most people They can be! In my experience it's a major factor preventing people from leaving [authoritarian country] that if they go to a western country they have a hard time finding friends, connections to get jobs, etc. Network states could help solve this!

The problem with gray in its current form is that it's not super well populated with people who have exposure to issues like this though. But that can be changed.

As in exposure to the difficulty of friend and community building? I don’t see how this is a factor that can topple an opposing party. If there is an army that can built from this method then sure but that would need to be presented as a specific strategy and all I saw was how to make friends and have parties
