Amazing! Since 2021, I have been a dedicated follower of Balaji Srinivasan, translating much of his content into Chinese to share his ideas and vision with the Chinese-speaking community. My enthusiasm for his work has driven me to take an active role in The Network State community, where I've had the opportunity to lead the writing program and organize multiple meetups in Beijing, London, New York, and Lisbon. Hope to see more Chinese people join in this program!

Hey Camellia! I'm a journo and, I agree that this is a truly interesting development from Balaji, and you seem really invested in it. Would you be interested in a conversation surrounding the upcoming Network School? Just want to get insights from the community.

“Yearn” for wisdom. :)

P.S. When are we going to start hearing back about admissions? Would love to begin planning content to share.

Agree! Sober ecstatic dancing.

Beautiful idea! I can't code, but I'm a founder and CEO for multiple companies in Athens, GA. I'm also a musician, engineer and producer. Would love to help you guys with soundtracks, theme songs, DIY recording and mixing classes, etc. Also I have a wife and baby - would this space work well for them? Access to nature, parks, etc?

Balaji's avatar

> Also I have a wife and baby

Yes, we are family friendly. You'll need to apply with the "solo" option though at $2000/month. If your wife can fill out the application as well that would be great (it's quick). And indicate in her reply that you are her husband and vice versa.

I applied and ready to go all in. My wife and 8year old girl, 3 year old boy and 6 month old girl will allow it i hope but will likely just come for a visit then go to India from there. Super stoked.

This is awesome!

It reminds me of the Thiel Fellows program, but it's more accessible.

It reminds me of Joe Lonsdale's university, but with a focus on the future not the past.

I especially like the focus on "dark talent." For those of us who invested in ETH at $200 or have grown successful YouTube channels (or both 😉), it can be frustrating not to see our achievements recognized by traditional elite schools.

Good luck! I hope to be a part of it.

Hermi's avatar

Hey Elias! Truly interesting indeed. I'm a journo and I'm actually looking into the Network School in particular. Would you be interested in a conversation to share your insights or thoughts about it?

Lena Rantsevich's avatar

Skills-first hiring and admissions is the new trend that is doing justice to 'dark talent'. Great to see meritocracy in action.

It's all coming together, at last.

Evan Riggs's avatar

Incredibly cool. Would love to film a documentary on this.

Martin Ascard's avatar

Amazing. I'm spreading the word.

R1cburton's avatar

Applied. Whether or not I am accepted, will happily sponsor 2 kids to go if money is the blocker but the brain is overflowing.

sayandcode's avatar

Oh man this is like how people from far and wide travelled to the Greek schools in the olden days. Hope to see y'all there 🤞

sol s⊙therland 🔸's avatar

Yes. We are back in full-circle.

It's awesome to see projects like this attempting to fix our broken education system in addition to building new societies.

Ankur's avatar

Just applied. looking forward to go all in here and change my life, the lives of others and the world. my youngest is named after the goddess Saraswati. Hope to meet you and be part of this.
