I realize now that a nontrivial amount of network states are adult summer camps with better branding 

I love camp it’s not a diss but it’s camp

there's this man camp ad on instagram with fast cut scenes and high contract, they show buff dudes arriving at a high end lodge surrounded by wildnerness, they turn their phones in, eat healthy, get shredded, drink matcha and sell b2b saas together.

i try to laugh it off but it deep down, damn, i want to go that camp.

It definitely……. takes the ambition out 😂 but I don’t mean it meanly 

Camp good 🥺

its not a diss but its a diss

i like camp. i miss camp. i want camp.

Yup. More accessibility and more niche, but people still behave the same way

I’m going with “campus” now h/t @mattlee

Me and Matallo call it kindergarten so much worse than camp 🤣

To be fair, there was literally a “network society camp” event in October. That event specifically was intended to be an adult summer camp, and it was fantastic. Is that the event you’re talking about or something else?

Network Society
are the two that get a ton of play on here! But I KNOW there are more and in diff flavors!!!!!

Can you list a few of these. Asking for a friend.

fractalcampus.com is doing it the best imo

Ok you nailed it. That’s a better way to say that still conveys what I’m trying to reach for here more respectfully

You could call them campuses for slightly more positive connotation

closest to real cities doing its own thing are prob free trade zones https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-trade_zone

Yes

Also I am too earnest for tech 

Like I low key rly did think they were starting a city lol but it’s camp. This is totally fine! But

Vibe camp is at least honest about this.
I am pro adults getting to go to camp, I just dislike all the over-intellectualizing around it wrt network states. Especially since it's so expensive to go.

Remember when I told you all that network state ideas were stupid and would simply lead to more of the things that create authoritarianism?

Take it from someone who was at network state summer school how balaji fails at preventing racial cliques

Thank you for letting me know little dickbutt who looks like a sperm 😌

No idea if there’s a real count! It’s hard to say what even actually counts. There’s a wide range of projects that fit some sort of loose definition. Network state has kind of eclipsed other terms too, like charter city or special economic zone. All kind of muddled to me

I think I got @tombeck.eth confused with someone else 🫣 maybe? Christin for sure

@edgecity has an account here! @christin is there so is @tombeck.eth !!!

waiting for the physical version of this also tho (cough camp ted cough)

to be fair, farcaster is the digital version of an adult summer camp

we did it, it was a blast: tns.camp

keccers is right though. main thing we learned at tns camp is that we're way too early and there are very few serious projects at this point

sweetness in clumsy efforts

we were pretty overt about it with tns.camp

i signed my kids up for too many camps this year. no way can i take part in any adult activities!!!

i'm too busy driving them around

We’re all trying to re-create experience from our early 20s

I mean, what gathering of adults choosing to do cool things together couldn’t be considered a summer camp?
