As the power of nation-states grows more centralised and coercive, a new movement is emerging—decentralised, parallel societies built from the ground up.

In this episode, I’m joined by philosopher and decentralisation advocate Sterlin Lujan to explore the rise of network states—digital-first communities that evolve into real-world alternatives, with their own economies, governance models, and missions.

Are we witnessing the birth of a digital rebellion? Can these parallel societies provide real solutions to the meta-crisis, or are they just idealistic experiments? Let’s find out.
