the closest thing to a digital nation/network state atm would be something like spx6900

borderless, internet native, united by belief in a shared vision instead of geography, all citizens have ownership/upside in the project

used to think "what comes after the nation-state?" but the more i think about it, it feels potentially like the final form of geography-based civilization, which will always exist as long as humans need to coordinate over physical resources

so "network states" are more of a digital expansion to the nation-state as opposed to a replacement

projects like that aim to invent new cities or new countries are the "sustaining innovation" to digital/tokenized networks' "disruptive innovation" (h/t jacob for that mental model)

the flippening is/will be when individuals identify more with their digital networks than their geographic ones

yea balaji often uses the word “parallel” ie parallel society or parallel establishment I think that’s good and also unlike geographical countries you won’t be member of one as most are but rather you will have a passport portfolio so to speak maybe you already do you just call it your portfolio for now
