My previous post introduced #Balaji #Srinivasan (let's call him B.S. for short),
the main brain behind the #Network #State cult of tech billionaires trying to reinvent government and media.
B.S., a former partner at #Andreesen-#Horowitz and former chief technology officer of #Coinbase, wrote an entire book called
"The Network State: How to Start a New Country."
Tech oligarchs like Marc Andreesen hold him in high regard and consider him some kind of genius oracle.
His book outlines how tech billionaires can seize more economic and political power by establishing new sovereign territories under their control.
#Garry #Tan, the CEO of #YCombinator currently leading a campaign to take control of San Francisco Hall,
has cast his efforts as part of B.S.'s Network State movement.
He did this during a conversation with B.S. at the first ever Network State #conference last October.
Two years earlier, Tan wrote on Twitter that Y Combinator was a "prototype" for the Network State idea.
So what would it mean for San Francisco to be taken over by tech #zillionaires who belong to the Network State cult?
Well, B.S. is the kind of guy who likes to run his mouth on four-hour-long podcasts hosted by sycophantic fanboys.
And he has a LOT to say about what the Network State will mean for S.F.
Buckle up!
