The Network Effect War

Hey there,

It's your boy, Dima Babanov, just a regular guy from Ukraine living the Finnish dream. Serial entrepreneur, master of the soldering iron, and, oh, a fully qualified lawyer too. No biggie.

1. So, I figured, why not start a personal blog and spill some tea on

• The War of the Network Effect, and
• The Great Network Re-Appropriation,
• And the Reborn of Capitalism, just for good measure.

2. Now, onto this Network Effect War.

• While I'd love to chat about puppies and rainbows, let's get real: we're at war, people.
• And first off, let's give a shout-out to Ukraine’s nation for keeping the front-line of the factual word-wide war started by putin's russia. Big thumbs up to everyone doing their part, especially those carrying the biggest burdens. Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Heroes!
• If you're wondering why I'm ranting in Russian - well, I grew up with that language. So, let's just say that by yapping away in it, I'm sticking it to the propaganda machine. And my main game isn't about rejecting language - oh no, we're going deeper than that. But more on that later.
• Second off, on this whole war thing. Wars aren't just about who gets the biggest explosion. They're crises. Putin's a bad dude, sure, but he didn't just pop out of a vacuum. If it wasn't him, it'd be someone else. If not in Russia, somewhere else.
• And let's be honest, this war is global. Not because it's in everyone's backyard, but because we all had a hand in creating it.
• Here we are, living it up in our post-industrial capitalist consumer frenzy, and what does it get us? A bunch of crises to keep us up at night: migrants on the move, climate going haywire, global wars... Isn't life grand?
• And this lovely war format we're stuck in? It's grown out of this network thingy. We'll call it - the Network Effect. Watch the video below for more.
