Hope you visit again! It’s a particularly interesting time as we are building educational programming for the growing numbers of kids who live here - a mixture of “East meets West” heavily influenced by gifted education pedagogy. Right up your alley I think, and I can’t help but use the “Battle School” analogy for those who get the reference

I visited Network School last year. Interesting place. Reminded me how America-centric I am by default, bc when I went there I was surprised by just how many countries it was pulling people from.
Very happy to see people experiment more with projects like this.

@NathanMaran @pradologue We’re very clear about this for everyone that comes to NS - we are proud guests of Malaysia and grateful to build our community in such a beautiful country
English
@pradologue I don't think anyone is denying the proximity to Singapore but to complete obliviate people's perception about Forest City being in Malaysia is what makes Malaysians mad.
Fact is NS is in Johor Bharu, Malaysia. Not near Singapore, but Malaysia. Periodtd.
English
anyone who's arguing has never taken a flight to KL, finished immigration, change terminals, take next flight to JB, take 60 mins cab to NS
singapore -> NS - 60mins.
judging a storm you never stood in.
highly recommend visiting NS and doing a month

some other things that make this experience unique:
• you might bump into your future cofounder in the elevator, join a company building what’s next, or have a conversation in the lobby that changes your life
• daily talks, workshops, and community events: sessions with balaji, language classes, crypto, startups, ai, meditation, workouts, and much more
• healthy and tasty meals, smoothies that rival erewhon, blueprint products (which i’m obsessed with), and two gyms
it’s the best of all worlds. it’s peaceful and tranquil, while at the same time pushing you beyond what you thought your limits were
it’s a place to lock in and build, but also have experiences you wouldn’t have anywhere else
(i made a short video capturing some of the campus)

Malaysian like to dunk on these guys for not mentioning "Malaysia" at all, but maybe we should chill a bit.
If it is all legit, let them be and hope that they succeed.
I mean, if they manage to build the next Silicon Valley in Johor, why not. We only benefit from it.

Balaji is executing on the Network State vision.
Awesome to see this come to life.

Moving to @ns is already the single best career + life decision I’ve made.
$1,500/month all-inclusive subscription including three healthy meals a day, serviced hotel/apartment room, co-working spaces, gym, classes/workshops all week long, group conference travel around Asia, and an optimistic, ambitious, tech-forward international community of all ages, family sizes and walks of life, achieving life milestones together while learning and building things that actually matter.
If the defaults where you live are no longer working in your favor, change your defaults, help build the alternative, and set an example for the rest of the world to follow.

“Come for the vision, stay because you’re getting jacked” 😁💪
It’s true - I often tell people @ns is the best place for me because of both the macro and the micro. I’ve never lived somewhere that makes it so easy to live healthy.
Abundant anti-inflammatory high protein food options, well-stocked gym, community of people leveling up their health in their own ways. I’ve never felt or looked better.

Everyone dunking on this has never been. I've lived at Network School most of this year and here's a POV from the ground Friendship requires repetition. Same gym, same meals, same people who care about the same things. School gave you that for free, and it's nearly impossible to rebuild as an adult NS is the first place since school where friendships just formed on their own again For $1,500 a month, you get: - Accommodation in a five-star hotel - Three meals a day - A great gym - Fitness classes - Coworking spaces - Even a sauna and a cold plunge I've been to over 60 countries as a nomad and nothing even comes close in terms of affordability It's not for everyone though. NS is great if you're between work and want to explore, or if you're locked in on one project and want a clean routine The first month is overwhelming because there's so much happening, by month two you find your groove My personal favorite part is the gym. The food is handled for you, the macros are great, and a lot of the social life is centered around fitness. In my opinion, it's the easiest place there is to get in shape Come for the vision, stay because you're getting jacked

And today, a lesson on truth for @ns kids
vrn.eth@vrneth
Each month, I give a talk called “How to Think Clearly” for the new @ns cohort, where I introduce methods of rationality. Grateful to the works of @AnnaLeptikon and @juliagalef that I reference heavily + the full house of community members willing to engage with what I consider the most important subject: individual and collective cognitive sovereignty
English
“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?”
A social circle that collectively levels up and encourages its members to level up is unique and powerful.
It is unfortunately difficult to find in the default world - I lost many friends when I began levelling up my health, many more when I examined my beliefs and sought to level up my mind.
At @ns I’m surrounded by people seeking to better themselves and the world. It’s unparalleled.

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.

We’re careful with the privacy of children and families in our community, so we are intentional about how they are shared online. But families are one of our largest growing groups at @ns - growing so quickly that we’re rapidly building out and running educational & recreational programming every day for kids!
English
@balajis I've been following for a while, and it's cool to see the Network school grow.
That being said, it looks very much like a school campus, and not a town/village.
I'm curious if there's a vision to go from campus to village? For example, there are no families in the video

@MaximePeabody @balajis @vrneth can answer any questions you may have. I am very very happy for my daughters to experience the school here right now.
