This review of Balaji Srinivasan's The Network State is really something

'Balaji really doesn't have the faintest idea what the difference is between citizenship and membership. There is a difference between a discord (or a DAO) and a state. States have a monopoly on legitimate use of force. States have responsibilities to the citizenry...he attempts to provide an authoritative explication of “what is a nation.” He does so by… quoting from the dictionary...Every comment, every insight, is delivered like a show-stopper. He is arguing with imaginary idiots, constantly leaving them speechless in his mind'

In case you still haven't realized: Andrew Huberman is a fascist.

To understand that, you first need to understand Balaji Srinivasan and his idea of "network states".

Srinivasan is a most deranged, narcissistic, despicable scumbag fascist. Him being an ultracapitalist, he wants to create city-states where the law of existing states doesn't apply. Meaning, no taxes and no regulation. He wants to rule these cities as part of an authoritarian technocratic plutocratic class. (Plutocracy means that the rich have the power, rather than the people as in democracy.) He wants a new feudalism: If you think of the medieval age or Game of Thrones, he wants to be a lord, and regular people will have to be his serfs if they don't want to get beaten by the police which he bribes.

Lex Fridman had Srinivasan on his podcast a while ago, where Srinivasan yapped about his fascist ideas for 8 hours straight! That narcissist sure loves the sound of his own voice. Completely insufferable.

And Huberman commented under that episode, along the lines of, "What a great episode, so much insight! Learned so much."

Now Huberman is a speaker at one of Srinivasan's conferences promoting these fascist ideas, among other well-known fascists/ultracapitalists.

Huberman may have helped you reduce your alcohol intake, but he's a giant 🤬 and evidently a fascist. Only idiots continue to seek advice from such an agent of evil.

"Someday Donald Trump and the movement that got him elected will be gone. And the billionaires who back him won't care. Because they have other plans.

This is the story of how deeply un-American the billionaires who buy our politicians are, from their disregard for democracy, their freak-outs over equality, or the fact that they want to secede from the United States altogether.

The #broligarchy has no regard for this country.

And now, their dystopian plans for it have come out of the shadows and into the light."

I'm too tired to summarize. Suffice to say: the "network state" cretins just loooooove to throw around anarchist-y sounding jargon (anarchists being well known for their eternal quest to find that one special kind of state that will fix everything).

Fuck those guys.

"To fully grasp the current situation in San Francisco, where venture capitalists are trying to take control of City Hall, you must listen to Balaji Srinivasan. Before you do, steel yourself for what’s to come: A normal person could easily mistake his rambling train wrecks of thought for a crackpot’s ravings, but influential Silicon Valley billionaires regard him as a genius."
