Man – this was incredible to read. I see the vision. The broken system and the sentiments highlighted above are unfortunately very true and are only rising, every passing day. It is becoming increasingly difficult for a foreign graduate to make it and build in America. What balaji and the network state are doing is truly incredible, i hope i get to join someday.

Just a few years ago I knew this would happen. I already have my flights booked for TNS but too this feel like I was meant to be there right at the start of something huge. My dream of being the first Network-State founders seems more and more within reach 💥

This is totally what I think is needed to end the hegemony the past, and pave way into the future.

Really, really cool. Sounds like YC in its early days (but much better)

Dear Balaji,

This is fantastic news - thank you for launching the Network School Fellowship! Our citizens at Shegby are looking forward to submitting their applications.

We'll also be happy to help spread the word on all of our social platforms - Telegram channels focused on Network States, Discord communities, Peerlist, Product Hunt, Binance Square and more. This is an important step in strengthening the Network States ecosystem, and we're happy to contribute!

I'm also thrilled to see Shegby listed on The Incognita Initiative, although I haven't had a chance to dive into it yet - I look forward to exploring it soon. BTW, who is the creator of The Incognita?

Thanks again for pushing the boundaries.
