Overthrowing The Network State: Dictatorship by Tech CEO with Nathan Schneider

Nathan Schneider (twitter.com/ntnsndr) comes back on the show to speak to Primavera (twitter.com/yaoeo) and I to continue Overthrowing The Network State. During the conversation we talk about his experience at ETH Denver, the issue with using tech venture capital as a model for governance, and being intentional when exploring new political possibilities.

Overthrowing the Network State (OTNS) is a series in collaboration with Blockchaingov where we critique The Network State (thenetworkstate.com) by Balaji Srinivasan while also pulling out the salvageable parts and concepts in discussion with a variety of guests. We are overall critical of Balaji’s specific ideas in the book, but we want to discuss it with intellectual honesty and highlight the larger concepts around how these technologies are and could subvert state structures. You can find the first episode of OTNS where we give our initial criticisms and alternatives here (theblockchainsocialist.com/overthrowing-the-ne…).

Blockchaingov (blockchaingov.eu) is a 5-year long, transdisciplinary research effort aimed at restoring trust in institutions at the community and global levels, by promoting better on chain and off chain distributed governance practices. Throughout the series, each discussion will include me and a member of Blockchaingov with either a new guest each episode or just a discussion between us to tackle various topics from the book.
