Hi,
networkstate was new for me but does not sound attractive... Some left
perspective on this:
https://newrepublic.com/article/180487/balaji-srinivasan-network-state-plutocrat
I think it might be better to (however) improve democracy, not everybody
is or can be a supersmart tech bro. But also those who are should see
flaws of these concepts, especially in a pro-humanity perspective. Maybe
it's a good concept to make big money for some, based on concurrency and
exclusion...
Just my thoughts, best, Rene

Hi Yesh!
I am curious about this notion of networked states. What kind of
state? What kind of network? Sorry, I know this isn't what your
email was about but since some of my work looks closely t the
problems of networked authoritarianism, especially in the context
of nation states, it piqued my curiosity.
Cordially,

Hello fellow Silklisters, (not sure if that is the right name,
but has a nice ring to it)
Guten Tag!
It’s an absolute pleasure to be here and part of this awesome
community. Thank you for having me here Udhay :)
A quick intro—I'm Yesh. I was born in Bangalore, but Berlin is
home now. I'm someone who's pro-humanity and a techno-optimist
but with a dash of healthy pessimism (keeps things
interesting!). I’m constantly asking: how do we help humanity
not just survive, but truly thrive in the long term?
By day, I work as a project manager at ALLFED
<http://ALLFED.info>, where we focus on global food resilience
(preparing for events that could take out 10% or more of the
global food supply—think nuclear winter or other fun
apocalyptic scenarios). By night, I channel my engineering and
physics background into designing hyper-stable structures for
satellite <https://www.eumetsat.int/meteosat-third-generation>
applications.
For the past 8 months, I’ve been working on something a bit
more experimental and communal—ZuGrama <http://zugrama.org>.
It’s a pop-up village in India that I’m co-building with
another fellow Silklister, Dr. Anish Mohammed. Think of it as
a place where the world’s brightest minds—scientists,
engineers, cryptographers, builders—don’t just work together
but live together, collaborate deeply, and push the boundaries
of what’s possible. It’s inspired by Zuzalu
<https://www.palladiummag.com/2023/10/06/why-i-built-zuzalu/>
(which Vitalik Buterin kicked off), and it pulls from Balaji’s
concept of network states. It feels like the right time for
these kinds of experiments, with similar projects popping up
in other corners of the world — 1
<https://balajis.com/p/network-school>, 2
<https://vitalia.city/>.
What are your thoughts on pop-up villages or these “networked
state” concepts? Do they excite you? If you could be part of
one, what kind of experiences would you want to have?
Looking forward to diving into some awesome conversations with
you all!
Best, Yesh
