This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Sterlin Lujan from Logos

Sterlin Lujan entered the blockchain space through activism, viewing the state as a parasitic, illegitimate institution upheld by cultural propaganda and public schooling. Embracing cypherpunk values and high risk tolerance, he sees blockchain as a tool for productive resistance and the foundation for emerging alternatives like network states.

Logos is a fully decentralized, privacy-focused, and politically neutral technology stack designed to support self-sovereign virtual territories and network states. It integrates blockchain-based protocols—Nomos for consensus, Codex for storage, and Waku for messaging—to enable the creation of borderless, trust-minimized institutions governed by voluntary communities.

We spoke to Sterlin Lujan about Polis Labs and:
  • Got into this space, because of activism
  • A good kid in paper prison
  • Why the system is so corrupt
  • State is this parasitic organization
  • Doing things that are active and productive rather than complaining
  • Being black-pilled
  • Government is an illegitimate institution that has the mystique of legitimacy
  • The problem is cultural indoctrination and propaganda
  • Public schooling is a propaganda machine
  • Propaganda and risk tolerance
  • Uncle Sam, the fatherland, the motherland
  • A lot of scams in Ponzi's
  • Cypherpunk values
  • Proliferation of network states
  • Having a tremendous amount of risk tolerance
  • Governance is not solved, it's an open question
