Balaji Srinivasan — the Balaji behind The Balaji Prophecy — has launched a utopian experiment in Malaysia’s “Forest City,” attempting to build a “network state.”
The so-called “Forest City” is Country Garden’s stalled project in Malaysia, now nearly a “ghost town.”
The project is called “Network School.” Located on Forest City’s Island One, members are housed at the Forest City Marina Hotel, with shared office spaces and a café nearby. “He has established a campus with shared workspaces, a high-end gym, and meals designed by longevity guru Bryan Johnson. He also surveyed potential residents about their views on politics and pronatalism — a philosophy that promotes high birth rates and is championed by Srinivasan himself.”
However, the project was just shut down by Malaysia on the pretext that it had Israelis among its members. Balaji subsequently announced that he would open a new campus in Kazakhstan.
