Hey people, welcome to Accidental Gods, to the podcast where we still believe that another world is possible, and that if we all work together, there is still time to lay the foundations for a future that we would all be proud to leave to the generations that come after us.
I'm Amanda Scott, your host and fellow traveller in this journey into possibility.
And this week, I'm joined for a second time by friend of the podcast, Dr. Andrea Leiter.
Andrea was with us back in episode 312 when we discussed cryptocurrencies and how we could bring regenerative principles into gaming and how transnational law works and how capitalism might heal itself from the inside out.
Andrea is, as you'll have gathered, something of a polymath.
She has degrees in transnational law, as she says later in the podcast.
Her PhD thesis looked at international states' disputes settlements.
So when I say ISDS and my head explodes, that's what we're talking about.
But she's also deeply embedded in cryptocurrencies and regenerative finance and views on economics that I find fascinating.
And we knew after the last conversation that there was going to be a lot more that we could talk about, so we booked in straight away.
And I thought that we were going to be discussing the Economic Space Agency and its protocols for post-capitalist expression, or the concepts outlined in Exo-Capitalism, which we did mention in the last podcast as well.
But then in the pre-podcast conversations on email, Andrea sent me the outline of a paper that she and colleagues are writing on the network state and its implications in transnational law and actually its implications for all of us.
And yes, it does sound obscure and unrelated to real life.
And it is complex.
but it is not unrelated to real life.
This is absolutely something we all need to know about before we find ourselves living inside a legal structure that mandates for no death, no taxes, and no democracy for the people who have the money.
Because, as with any fascist enterprise, there will be an in-group that is protected but not constrained, and an out-group that is constrained but not protected.
And if you're listening to this podcast, the chances of your being in the in-group are vanishingly small.
So, here we go.
To make a few things clear before we start, we will be discussing the ideas of the network state, as put forward by Balaji Srinivasan in his book called The Network State, How to Find a New Country.
