8/ “Why do Trump. Thiel & Andreessen want to build new cities?” The Network State movement “calls for the creation of private cities ruled by non-democratic tech governments. ‘Freedom Cities’ seems like a slight Republican rebranding of the concept. The adoption of the idea suggests that Trump's team – which announced the plan last year – has been searching for ways to align with Weird Tech for quite some time.” By @gilduran76

9/ “To recap: The Network State cult calls for the creation of new tech-controlled sovereign cities that would essentially act as miniature countries. These independent territories can be created in one of two ways.”

10/ “The first is called Voice. This route entails using the political system to take over existing city governments through elections. Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan is currently trying the "voice" method in San Francisco, where he is spearheading a tech-funded campaign to capture control of City Hall. (How do I know this is a Network State project? Because Tan has described his project as such.)”

11/ “The second method is called Exit. The "exit" method involves finding a bare piece of land that can be built up into a new tech city, ideally with tax breaks or other exemptions from ‘host governments.’”

12/ “Próspera, on the island of Roatan in Honduras, is an example of this: a tech-run Special Economic Zone where certain rules don't apply. Próspera has become a mecca for unregulated gene therapy experiments.”

13/ “And then there's our local version: California Forever. This proposed tech city in Solano County was supposed to go to voters for approval on November's ballot, but it has been delayed due to massive community opposition.

14/ “California Forever denies being a Network State project, but Andreessen is one of its investors. [Para] In addition, Balaji Srinivasan … has strongly suggested that California Forever is a Network State project…”

16/ “This is an important detail because Andreessen, Srinivasan [Balaji] and Thiel are working closely together to make the Network State a reality *** These three even have an entire company [Pronomos VC] dedicated to building such cities around the world.”

20/ As far as I can tell, @gilduran76 has done most of the heavy lifting when it comes to reporting on this “Network Statement”movement. The MSM has largely ignored it, as per usual.

Jacob Siegel just delivered a warning that every American needs to hear: The power of “ruling class institutions” is quietly replacing the will of the American people in Washington. “The banking institutions.” “The large medical organizations.” “The media.” “The universities.” And this new “top-down” system built the “infrastructure that makes censorship possible.” Here’s how it happened, according to Siegel: “This concept of the ‘whole of society’ [approach] actually begins in the world of developmental organizations like the United Nations.” “It’s used to refer to breakneck modernization programs” in developing countries. “The idea was that instead of appealing to the public or to civil society, which presumably doesn’t exist, you coordinate through ‘whole of society.’” “Which is really a euphemism for the most powerful actors.” “The ruling class institutions.” “And then it jumps this concept… into the American domestic political system.” “It happens in the first Obama administration.” “Rather than necessarily needing to build up popular support by appealing to not only the general population, but also to local political parties, instead what you could do is… coordinate support of the most powerful institutions.” “By getting the media, the universities, the banking institutions, the large medical organizations, the insurance companies… on board, you could then impose this top-down policy.” Jacob Siegel

Here's Balaji and my fireside talk from The Network State conference: 🇪🇺 eu/acc - I made eu/acc to Make Europe Great Again (MEGA) 🏴‍☠️ Nomads .com (formerly Nomad List) is one of the first Network States: - Started 10 years ago - Tens of thousand of members who move around globally - Tens of millions of visitors that are DNs - Main physical hubs: -- Bali -- Thailand -- Mexico -- Austin & Miami -- Spain & Portugal 🌎 How big is the digital nomad network state? - 9 years ago I predicted 1 billion digital nomads by 2035, everybody said i was crazy, then COVID happened and everyone went remote - 1/3rd of working population works remotely or hybrid globally - 1 billion people work remotely in 2024 - of that ~10-20% moves around like a digital nomad, so 100-200 million digital nomads now 🧠 Most digital nomads (DNs) are not broke backpackers: - High income: average is $125,000/year - 90% are university educated, 34% has a master's degree - Great people for countries (or network states) to attract 💻 Jobs: - Most men DNs work as software devs 34% - Most women DNs work in marketing 16% ❤️ Dating: - 66% of DNs are single-> hard to date and they need more IRL fixed communities - 72% of women DNs are 🏳️‍🌈 Progressive - 53% of men DNs are 🗽 non-Progressive - Bit of a clash there! DNs are already in one place physically: - Most DNs are not hopping around, but stays for months: the average trip is 64 days - Reason for moving is not they like to travel, but lack of visas to stay -> another thing countries and network states can solve (with visas) 🇵🇹 I made my own little network state in Portugal: - I moved most of my internet friends to Portuguese beach towns - We’re all living within 5 minutes from each other - Our own techno-optimist village experiment - Permanent pop up city 🏴‍☠️ Balaji added: - While we can easily picture a physical world map, imagining a digital map is more difficult. This makes it easier to feel connected to people who are physically close, yet the internet allows for close relationships with those who are far away. Relationship and interest-based proximity are far more important than physical location or distance. - How do you protect a network state? Physical states need guns and armies, but network states and digital property are protected by cryptography—an unbreachable border and encryption as the ultimate firewall. - The power of a network state lies in its media, money, and agility. If the old world has China, the digital world has crypto. • Bonus: You’ll soon be able to pay with crypto using Stripe, as promised by Pieter on his apps. Notes by Paarug Sethi + edited by me
