The purpose of Network School is to demonstrate that anyone can peacefully start new communities from the Internet. Our vision of the good is a society that's tolerant and meritocratic, affordable and ambitious, high-tech yet extremely offline. https://t.co/Q9WbHsouza James is from Great Britain. We have many Brits at Network School, and indeed many from the global Anglosphere (including the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand). All working together to build positive-sum, in-person communities. https://t.co/lwNyNhpzlU https://t.co/YQko03TMrM Network School members hail from 100+ countries. By assembling in person and building a startup society together, we're proving that online communities can actually cooperate in the offline world. https://t.co/BC4gEiXLrm

Quoted context

These are the quoted author’s words.

We have come, and we have created life. @NS is increasingly a place where anyone, from anywhere, can come and build their life. And I don't mean in some whimsical - abstract way. You come here and you get outcomes. -> your body. We may not be @bryan_johnson, but you come here and get younger. I see it in the faces of my friends, its undeniable. -> your mind. Aside from the cold plunge competitions, the number one thing people take away is the ability to harness AI. Vibe-coding, automating workflows with AI agents, and more - you learn it all here, from the community. Hundreds go from 0 to 1 every month. -> your life. Last month was our first wedding - with at least one more before the year is out. A celebration of a happy couple, but indirectly of a happy community. One of the best nights of my life. And it's flourishing. This is far from a frontier tech bro nunnery now. It's rife with life - and within a few years I can imagine this being the best place in the world to find a partner and raise a family. That's in stark contrast to a year ago: this was a ghost city. We came to a place with nothing. And we've not just created something. We've created life. Day to day it's subtle - safe, secure, friends that support. But zoom out and it's stark. Where else in the world can you be immersed in a society where every person - whether 5 or 75 - is someone you could rely on, someone who wants to win and to help you win? I wrote this because @ns over the last months has hit an inflection point. I don't think these words do it justice, or explain just how special a place has been created here. The only way for you to find out is to come. Because this is still the beginning of the @ns story - one you can help write. Come here and find hope for our future.
