One thing that frustrates me about "my culture is better than yours" discourse, is that the game inherently drives people to come up with post-hoc justifications for why their fixed pre-existing thing is better than the other guy's fixed pre-existing thing. This is not a productive enterprise. It's completely missing the part where if you realize that some aspect your pre-existing thing sucks, you can actually go and change it and make it better. Compete by offering a better product, not by offering a better justification for a product you were randomly assigned by birth lottery. One of the things that attracted me about network states, is that productive cultural competition that leads to innovation in new and better cultures could actually happen there, and in environments "holistic" enough to capture all aspects of culture that are necessary to run a functioning civilization (as opposed to narrow environments, eg. cryptocurrencies and games) I hope we can take that open-minded approach more.

A cambrian explosion of new cultures would be very exciting. But also: Couldn’t some of these new cultures find some of their inspiration from the best parts the past? The wisdom of the past thinkers and the experiences of history should be valuable resources for new invention.

"Compete by offering a better product" Judging by immigration and desire to immigrate, the West does pretty well there.

crawl, walk, run. not everyone gets it immediately the way you do. narrow environments promote understanding and adoption by those who do not see as zoomed out as you view things.

Completely agree that productive competition beats justification for pre-existing systems.

Correlated conversation is where to draw a line with cultural relativism. Best it can do is give attenuating circumstances, not justifications for, say, alienating half of your population on some preexisting cultural specifics. Ostrich bad faith cultural favoritism is shooting yourself in the foot on both sides.

As I recall, network states are just a pipe dream until they acquire actual land, a part of the physical planet. How can this be possible in the era of new open imperialism that you recently mentioned? https://warpcast.com/vitalik.eth/0x7be8c53f
