We're back. As we plan a relaunch of the show for later in 2023, we wanted to make sure to drop an episode in your feed in light of recent events.  Escalation of tensions with China and the UAP encounters over Alaska, Canada, and the Great Lakes region have dominated the most recent news cycle. Mike Spencer and Austin weigh in on both in this week's episode.

Balaji Srinivasan's 2022 book The Network State is the topic of this episode.  It’s a web3 political treatise with a crash course in history and social theory, making both accessible to an audience more typically focused on tech, finance, and business. Mike and Austin discuss the role of democracy, consent of the governed, and the impending struggle between the people of the state and the people of the network.
