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.

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."

Cool - Gray City of #TechAuthorittarians: #Balaji's dark vision for #SanFrancisco

#BalajiSrinivasan 🤮

Okay, now that we've examined Mark Robinson's state capture vision for a permanent Christian Nationalist regime in North Carolina, I'd like to go back to April of this year to take a look at what a Silicon Valley Tech Authoritarian vision for the same type of society, established with similar methodology, might look like.

If you're not familiar with the world of rich Tech Bro fascists, and the "philosophers" that drive their worldview, it's entirely possible that you've never heard of Balaji Srinivasan. Despite this however, fascist billionaire Tech muppets have heard of him, and in fact think he's a genius with a ton of brilliant ideas that will benefit them, at your expense. One of his most popular ideas (among Tech authoritarians at least) is the concept of a Network State, which is literally some CyberPunk 2020 corporate state bullshit described as "a plan for tech plutocrats to exit democracy and establish new sovereign territories." If you've caught wind of the well-funded campaign promoting "California Forever" to create a Tech baron controlled city in Solano County, you've already seen these freaks trying to make that concept a reality. Oh, and before I forget, I should mention that Balaji is also a proponent of a plan to take over the government of San Francisco and transform the city into a dystopian fascist colony ruled by reactionary Tech muppets just like him.

Let's take a closer look at Srinivasan's ideas with an eye towards understanding how his proposed takeover of San Francisco and the larger concept of Network States are just another fascist's variation on the State Capture concept we've been discussing here already:

https://web.archive.org/web/20240702025546/https://newrepublic.com/article/180487/balaji-srinivasan-network-state-plutocrat

The Tech Baron Seeking to Purge San Francisco of “Blues”

"What I’m really calling for is something like tech Zionism,” he said, after comparing his movement to those started by the biblical Abraham, Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith (founder of Mormonism), Theodor Herzl (“spiritual father” of the state of Israel), and Lee Kuan Yew (former authoritarian ruler of Singapore). Balaji then revealed his shocking ideas for a tech-governed city where citizens loyal to tech companies would form a new political tribe clad in gray t-shirts. “And if you see another Gray on the street … you do the nod,” he said, during a four-hour talk on the Moment of Zen podcast. “You’re a fellow Gray.”

You should definitely read the whole article because I don't have enough room here to detail all the obviously fascist nonsense Balaji is talking about doing to San Francisco, but a brief rundown would include bribing police to enforce his vision of society, restricting access to portions of the city to loyalists, aligning with Republican insterests (who he calls the "Reds," isn't that clever?), and transforming liberals and folks he doesn't agree with into second class citizens (the "Blues.") This fascist muppet even details a whole top-down propaganda campaign to ensure the marginalization of his political enemies, including renaming streets, putting up statues to commemorate his enemies' failures, and screening propaganda films designed to marginalize his opposition and enforce the Tech Bro authoritarian worldview. Like many modern fascists, Srinivasan actively demonizes the media and agitates for the creation of rival news outlets designed to push his dystopian ideas and positions; a proposal that will seem quite familiar to anyone who studied the rise of the actual fucking Nazis in interwar Germany, for example.

Whether by establishing their own new cities, or taking over existing political structures, what Srinivasan and the billionaire tech fascists who adore him are talking about here is another form of the very same state capture style of wielding political power as the systems Mark Robinson and the GOP are installing in North Carolina. These dystopian plans are both blueprints for establishing a permanent "Pork Reich" in which the rights of everyday individuals, including their democratic rights, are wholly superseded by the whims of reactionary capitalists and powerful fascist blocs controlling these power structures at an institutional level. Both Robinson's and Srinivasan's plans bear all the hallmarks of a fascist regime, including dismantling what passes for our democratic rights, material enforcement of the party line, forced political indoctrination into an objectively fascist worldview, and active marginalization and suppression of anyone who doesn't agree with that fascist worldview.

There was a time in Pig Empire political life when plans like these would be recognized for the fascist batshittery that they are. Today however, with the support of powerful coalitions of Christian Nationalists and TechBro authoritarians, they are entirely too close to becoming a reality; and if these guys get their way, voting won't be enough to stop that.

Two kinds of #authority, only one of which is the source of authority #bias:

1️⃣ Social authority earned because of a title or position of power or influence: a mayor, a policeman, a priest, a CEO, a rock star. They are, in principle, as fallible as anyone else.

2️⃣ Intellectual authority earned for having been right often in the past and for being specially good at reasoning, as evidenced by a concrete track record of useful interpretations and accurate predictions: #SamHarris, #StevenPinker, #BalajiSrinivasan, your chemistry teacher in high school, that journalist you follow, your friend’s grandmother. All things being equal, it is totally rational to assign more weight to those people’s opinions and advice than to any of the above’s. No bias here.

#cognitivefallacies #authoritybias #rationality

This 4-hour-long #episode of the #MakingSense #podcast with #SamHarris & #BalajiSrinivasan is golden. Highly recommended.
