Go ahead, sorry.

The a16z Show
Balaji and Steven Glinert on Network States, Supply Chains, and Allied Coalition Strategy

Okay, it's going to, I think, be a lot worse than that.

The a16z Show
Balaji and Steven Glinert on Network States, Supply Chains, and Allied Coalition Strategy

The problem, yeah, the problem is, I would start with, you know, as the saying goes, like, who's we Kimisabe, right?

The a16z Show
Balaji and Steven Glinert on Network States, Supply Chains, and Allied Coalition Strategy

Like, you know, the old Tonto.

The a16z Show
Balaji and Steven Glinert on Network States, Supply Chains, and Allied Coalition Strategy

I mean, it's a really old reference, but who's we Kimisabe?

The a16z Show
Balaji and Steven Glinert on Network States, Supply Chains, and Allied Coalition Strategy

Yeah, that's why I said it might be so old you guys don't get it.

The a16z Show

But let's start with who's we, right?

The a16z Show

The a16z Show
Balaji and Steven Glinert on Network States, Supply Chains, and Allied Coalition Strategy

They weren't friends with each other anymore, okay?

The a16z Show
Balaji and Steven Glinert on Network States, Supply Chains, and Allied Coalition Strategy

They're basically just there to fight.

The a16z Show

Blues were friends with blues.

The a16z Show
Balaji and Steven Glinert on Network States, Supply Chains, and Allied Coalition Strategy

Reds friends with reds, okay?

The a16z Show
Balaji and Steven Glinert on Network States, Supply Chains, and Allied Coalition Strategy

And, you know, now, like basically, you know, there's all these graphs of polarization and so on.

The a16z Show
Balaji and Steven Glinert on Network States, Supply Chains, and Allied Coalition Strategy

You've probably seen this as well, where blue is its own group and there's all these red tribes, okay?

The a16z Show
Balaji and Steven Glinert on Network States, Supply Chains, and Allied Coalition Strategy

Like blues are on blue sky and reds are on X or Gab or wherever other places, right?

And so the digital succession is already here.
