Why do I need a network state if I can help people I like on SN, or another small networked community of my choice?
reply
So that I could help you too, for example.
What is preventing that from happening right now here on a networked community, versus what a network state would offer?
And so that you can help on a larger scale, if you wish.
What makes a network state scale further than a platform without the state? The exclusivity?

My personal motivation started with simple things. I once found myself in a situation while travelling that required a lawyer, but I was in a country whose language I didn't speak and where English wasn't widely spoken. I needed quick help, or at least some advice, and luckily a complete stranger helped me in the end.
This gave me the idea of creating an app that would put me in touch with like-minded people.
Not everyone can trust everyone, though - you need to check the person somehow. Hence, HumanRank was born - an algorithm similar to PageRank. In short, and with many assumptions, if someone has checked the user, why shouldn't I trust them?
Dating is a separate, complex topic in general, but the market is huge and existing apps do not solve the problem, as far as I and my friends are concerned. People need to meet in person instead of swiping, and everything will be clear over a cup of coffee after 5–10 minutes of conversation.
There is a lot more to say here. All of this fits into the larger scheme of how current systems do not solve many of the assigned problems and how current communities are so disparate that you still need to find them to ask for help.

Right, so it's not a state per se? Your problem statement and solution remind me a bit of Rotary. Networking with likeminded people that want to make the world a better place?

Yes, that's true, but if you change something, it's not just for yourself, but for many others too.
I'll start small and Base44 is great if you can set tasks for it or connect AI to help organise tasks.

No, it was simpler for me - I hit a cow in a remote part of Thailand. My car was wrecked and I didn't know where I was or how to access local services. Fortunately, the owner of a nearby hotel spoke excellent English and helped me sort everything out. Similar cases have happened before, some simpler and some more severe, and the locals have helped in those situations too.

It is probably also important to mention that I often encountered requests for help 'on the spot', such as:
- meet someone at the airport with a lot of luggage or children.
- recommending a doctor or hospital in a particular city or country. these are requests for help that require physical presence, not remote assistance.
I can help when I'm nearby; it's not a problem. I know I'm not the only one, so why don't we help each other, including physically, as they say, 'on the spot'?
And yes, according to Balaji S., it’s a long way to the Network State, but it’s better to define the goal immediately. I did this without fear of scaring others or raising questions – and I have answers, by the way.
In general, this post is about Base44, which I am delighted with. However, for a smoother experience, you still need to connect AI to structure tasks and issue them in batches for implementation through Base44.
