Two things worth calling out (because I already see friends eager to misrepresent things):
One – the ability to opt-in, fork or exit at any time is literally the entire premise of the Network State movement. You join any place or ecosystem because you like a curated set of values, rules and incentives. If it turns out you don’t love ’s, @nsthat’s okay. You’re actively encouraged to fork off and start a competing vision. No one will force you to continue spending time on the flagship client or@farcaster at ’s campus @nsif you don’t want to.
Two – is not seeking @balajis.ethto be a tyrant or a dictator. Ask him during Lunch-and-Learn@ns what his personal ambitions are within the Network State project, and he will consistently respond “Minimum-Viable Balaji”. He may also liken himself to a “reluctant” Lee Kuan Yew who peacefully sets a system in motion before passing the torch. Yes, the Singapore analogy is contradictory in isolation. The onus is on you to hear the full context.
