On @balajis.eth. He likes analogies. A lot. If you’re still here, you’re gonna have to get used to it. Best advice if you aren’t familiar with his content (or only have secondhand impressions): read the *stated definition* of the network state from his book, watch at least one of his long-form podcasts or conference talks on YouTube all the way through, do your own research on the cited history, and take the best-faith interpretation of the adjectives and proper nouns he chooses to invoke. You’re not immediately going to agree with everything he does and says, or how he says it, or even the circle of elites he associates with – and that’s okay. But you *can* count on him to be awfully clear and consistent about the observations he does make, grounded in a breadth of technical and historical context you wouldn’t otherwise hear about, and as a result very often directionally correct in the long term. https://thenetworkstate.com/the-network-state-in-one-sentence https://youtube.com/@nspodcast
