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 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

To the extent that the goal of the network state is to meaningfully alter the world order, eschewing politics is wrong because it is self-defeating. Refusing to engage with the world as it is on idealistic terms is untenable for a movement that seeks to transform it.

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
