Praxis, which aims to create a community of members who will live in an autonomous charter-state built on a decentralized crypto economy, lures in members with grocery-store crudités and vague conversation
Illustration: Richard A. Chance There’s a long line at the entryway to the Praxis loft. The process to simply enter the space is holding things up: We are asked to provide our names, our emails, and a reference from a member of the Praxis Society; to take a selfie with an iPad; and to sign an NDA. When it’s my turn, I ask the woman shepherding people through if I can have a copy to review.
Praxis’s founders — Brown, an NYU graduate, and Charlie Callinan, who was a wide receiver on Boston College’s football team — met in 2016 while working as investment analysts at Pleasant Lake Partners. On Pod of Jake, Brown recounts the moment he and Callinan first discussed rethinking the way cities are traditionally structured while surfing in Puerto Rico. “We just started talking about this crazy city stuff when we were sitting out waiting for waves,” he said.
Praxis is technically based in New York, but the team spends time actively recruiting in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Miami, and beyond, encouraging people to become “members.” Not formally employed, Praxis members volunteer to assist in the development of the city alongside experts from “domains” such as statecraft, health, education, environment, security, and trade as well as culture and philosophy — the idea being that they are creating an infrastructure for the eventual city.
