What is a network state for longevity?

A "network state" is envisioned as a highly aligned online community capable of collective action, which can crowdfund territory globally and may ultimately achieve diplomatic recognition from existing states. Balaji Srinivasan, in discussing this concept on the Lex Fridman Podcast, highlighted the potential of network states to support various initiatives, such as longevity enhancement. He suggested that starting a new country (network state) could be more feasible than reforming existing institutions when aiming to significantly advance areas like biomedicine. This initiative is analogous to how cryptocurrency reformed finance by inverting traditional economic assumptions, suggesting a similar revolutionary potential for longevity in medicine through network states 1 2.
