Posting today from the Network Nations gathering at , exploring together possibilities for self-governing communities...

Here is Lou de Kerhuelvez on the Network Nations group's critique of Balaji's Network State.

Primavera De Filippi here on how Network Nations are a frame between corporations and states, a polity for the commons.

At a late night discussion the other night, after being pressed on how Network Nations could solve the pressing crises of the world today, Primavera said something I thought was profound: "this is the easiest way to do it if you don't know how to do it."

If you have that reasonable humility, there is not shortcut around self-governance.

Three principles for Network Nations

SUPERSIDIARITY
a bias for bottom up organizing

INTERDEPENDENCE/ENTANGLEMENT
a commitment to voice over exit

COSMOLOCALISM
as opposed to globalization—globalize the light things, localize the heavy things

Nathan Schneider

Brilliant thinking from Nathalia Scherer on memory in Network Nations: what if we think of history as a mosaic rather than as a timeline?

@ntnsndr
This sounds great! It’s funny, I missed you at EE by 3 days. Learned a lot about blockchain governance, hope to catch up and chat soon!

@ntnsndr
Do you know if there’s a recording to be viewed/listened to?

@pdbowman I think there will be one but I'm not sure when/where.
