Being able to determine the lifetime value of a migrant to a place is something that fascinates me endlessly. I wrote a post in which I did a deep dive into the value someone brings to a city: https://open.substack.com/pub/homeabroadhq/p/impact-of-migration and remain interested in the alternative formulas out there!

Perhaps the more pertinent question is whether a network state can truly prove its legitimacy without playing by those rules. Or does a 'peaceful exit' simply mean that we're stuck in the same old game with a more attractive interface?

Beat them at their own game, otherwise lose to the socio-political forces that keep the old regime in power. You're right though, there needs to be an intentional v2 of the old system as a collective tries to supplement it, perhaps eventually supplanting it.
