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

This. It looks like network state is starting with all the things that sound fun (not real problems). Friends, family, community aren’t problems for most people. 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.

Oh I believe that but let’s think about that in the context of building a coalition of individuals that are capable of mustering together to take on incumbent politics through an entirely new group. You’re not selling me if that group requires training wheels to figure out how to talk to another person
