Episode notes

Blue versus red in the us is fractile. It's not geographically split like it was in 18 61. Even if one side wanted to declare war on the other side, any bomb will blow up a bunch of their own people vs others. That's why physical war, in the sense of, like formations of the 18 hundreds or 19 hundreds, is hard. If you go forward in the digital space, these two factions are highly separated. And that is actually the theatre of war. In words, it's in actions and signalling.

Balaji Srinivasan makes a return appearance to The Knowledge Project, this time to go in-depth on Web3, Crypto, and the state of the world today. Srinivasan offers his unfiltered thoughts on the advantages and disadvantages of established democracies, the Russia-Ukraine situation, housing as an investment, education, legacy wealth, and which country he would bet on to dominate the future.

Srinivasan is the former CTO of Coinbase and General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, and is an early investor in many successful tech companies and crypto protocols. He is also the author of the book The Network State: How To Start a New Country.
