Oh!

Thank you.

Thank you for having me again.

Yes, my dream is to not wake up every single morning.

The first thing I think about is venture capital.

I think about it every second of every day.

And then that's what I go to sleep thinking about.

And then that is also sometimes what I dream about, which is unfortunate.

Yeah, we've all been there.

Yes, 100%.

So again, this kind of comes in where we're talking about last episode, that kind of people's ideas about what these projects are not necessarily like fully, fully formed.

And I think a lot of people think that the network state is just kind of like,

them going to do weird shit, which yes, that's part of it.

But I think something that people don't really see is how many purposes that the network sites have for them.

The network site is basically creating zones around the world where they can execute their projects and

So some of these are more of the ideological projects, maybe like Praxis or something like that.

But you also see network sites that are very focused on being industrial centers, manufacturing centers, biotech and startup development, where they can get away from regulations, where they can sort of benefit from co-development on a campus.

You know, you have sort of new city ideas like California Forever.

You have network state sites that the only thing they're doing right now is they're registering startups to operate in different countries in favorable terms.

Mm-hmm.
