"Pick your country at age 18 instead of picking your college. Apply to the jurisdictions you want to join, and if they admit you, give your voluntary, digitally-signed consent to the corresponding government." I directionally agree with @balajis.eth's network state ideas it makes sense that we've probably reached peak governance centralization and will only decentralize from here but so much of his framing about network states still features traditional centralized governance ideas "digitally-signed consent to corresponding government" sounds like we need some sort of bureaucracy in charge of each of these network states and as soon as you bring a centralized bureaucracy into the conversation, you're back to using trusted 3rd parties and trusted 3rd parties are (network state) security holes that will become corrupted same problem pre-Bitcoin cryptocurrencies had, all of them used crypto tech to try to build new types of currencies, but they failed because they depended on centralization somewhere in the governance stack this is the problem network states have right now: how do you organize network state actions, but without any compromises where you're still setting up centralized bureaucracies? how do you coordinate value together without a single person (or group of people) having outsized influence over the spending? https://x.com/balajis/status/1965360194118189126
