The First Network State (feat. Clusk)

On this extra special episode, the boys are joined by technologist, digital frontiersman, and famed Twitter troll Clusk to discuss Palestra, which may be forming the first Network State down in El Salvador. Together, our heroes dive into the pros and cons of life on the frontier, Palestra's first major summit on health and technology, and the long process of building a values-aligned community that transcends geographic boundaries. All this plus volcano sacrifices, raw milk, Dutch farmers, and more. Don't miss it. Timestamps
