00 - Network State Conference 2023 - Opening Remarks by Balaji

The Network State Conference is about (a) parallel societies and (b) parallel institutions. By parallel societies, we mean physical communities and startup cities. By parallel institutions, we mean alternatives to the current educational, media, financial, and regulatory systems. We'll need both of these to start new types of internet cities, communities, and even countries.
