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.

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

Id be interested what @balajis.eth thinks He actually does engage w politics a bit (prescribes that Gray in US should ally w Red and accept that Blue will never ally, unfortunately). But it wasn’t emphasized at conference I also notice Dan + V not encouraging politics on FC has nourished composability mindset
