A Mysterious School for the Network State Crowd Is Now in Session
Balaji Srinivasan has long touted the crypto-fueled “network state” as the next evolution of society. His three-month Network School will bring those ideals directly to 150 eager students.
According to his Substack post introducing the Network School, these requirements include an admiration of “Western values,” seeing Bitcoin as the successor to the US Federal Reserve, and trusting AI over human courts and judges. The topics include “protocols” such as Solana and Bitcoin maximalism, “politics” such as Karl Marx and Jordan Peterson, “technology” such as AI accelerationism and military tech, “places” such as Dubai and Israel, “culture” such as tattoos and traditional masculinity and femininity, “policies” such as Drag Queen Story Hour and carbon credits, and “progress” such as artificial general intelligence and space exploration. Srinivasan has also advertised that students will get group workouts, meals, and health lessons led by Bryan Johnson, the former tech executive best known for spending about $2 million per year trying to slow his aging, a process he has documented extensively on social media.
