Ambitious or stupid, I don't know. There's quite a few of these projects that are going on right now, and some of them are verging more on what I would consider art projects that are sort of challenging the mainstream of the nation state.

And so network states is what some people believe the future of nation states are. And it's basically like a decentralized nation state. And this was kind of predicted – has been predicted by a lot of these futurists that say, you know, the nation state at a certain point was this – ideological technology that was invented in the 1600s at the Treaty of Westphalia, basically.

And by doing that, hopefully the sovereignty of a national unit will be allowed to bargain with these other national units. And so as part of like Westphalian sovereignty, as they call it, you've got, you know, this sort of equality of nations. There's no nation that is above any other nation.
