The ultra-rich buy freedom while the poor get cages. Atossa Araxia Abrahamian explains how money gives the wealthy cheat codes to hack the world's systems.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1173What We Discuss with Atossa Araxia Abrahamian:Freeports are tax-free warehouses where billionaires store art, gold, and luxury items without customs duties — existing outside normal territory, hiding wealth from governments and spouses.Wealthy Americans now lead passport purchases, paying $200k-$750k for citizenship in countries like Malta or St. Kitts. COVID and political uncertainty drove this "insurance policy" trend among the affluent.Switzerland built wealth by selling mercenaries, then banking services, then commodity trading — always profiting from what others can't do at home. Half the world's coffee/cocoa trades flow through landlocked Geneva.These offshore systems create stark inequality: rich people buy citizenship and hide assets while poor migrants face detention camps and deportation — wealth literally buys different rules and freedoms.Research your family history — you might qualify for EU citizenship through grandparents or heritage programs. Countries like Portugal, Ireland, and Austria offer ancestral citizenship paths that don't require huge investments.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Joe Quirk, president of the Seasteading Institute, discusses the innovative concept of seasteading, which proposes creating floating societies on the ocean as a solution to the limitations of land-based governance. Quirk shares his personal journey into the world of seasteading, drawing parallels between cruise ships, Burning Man, and the potential for self-governing communities at sea. He explores the practicalities of building seasteads, the challenges faced, and the legal frameworks necessary for their success. The conversation also touches on sustainability, food production, and the economic viability of living on the ocean. He emphasizes the ecological benefits of building structures at sea, the innovative business models that can emerge, and the need for political autonomy. He also highlights the importance of material science and competition in developing sustainable structures that can withstand ocean conditions. Takeaways Seasteading offers a solution to the governance monopoly problem. Cruise ships exemplify successful self-governing societies. Variation and selection in governance can lead to progress. Experiences at Burning Man illustrate innovative social structures. Seasteads can be built using various materials and technologies. Legal frameworks are essential for the establishment of seasteads. Safety and sustainability are key considerations for ocean living. Food production on seasteads can include seaweed and seafood farming. Economic viability is crucial for the future of seasteading. Seasteading represents a new frontier for human innovation and governance. The ocean can support diverse life when solid structures are introduced. Seasteads require political autonomy to be truly effective. The future may see a proliferation of small, innovative nations at sea. Cruise ships serve as a model for future floating cities. Innovative business models can thrive in marine environments. Sustainable farming and biotech research can be more effective at sea. Material science is crucial for building durable seasteads.  The ocean's diversity offers opportunities for new governance models. Seasteading can provide alternatives to traditional land governance. Support for seasteading initiatives is essential for their success. Timestamps: (00:00) - Intro (01:04) - What is Seasteading?

In einer Zeit, in der wir überall das Versagen etablierter Strukturen erleben, scheint es mir umso wichtiger zu sein, über neue Ideen nachzudenken und — im Rückgriff auf die letzte Episode mit Johan Norberg — viel offener und experimentierfreudiger zu sein. Mit »mehr vom selben« werden wir diese tiefe Krise, die Europa erfasst hat, nicht bewältigen können. Eine solche Idee, die international stetig an Zuspruch gewinnt, ist das Thema der heutigen Episode: Freie Privatstädte, Teil 2. Im Gespräch wieder Titus Gebel. Denn es gab vor über einem Jahr die erste Episode zu diesem Thema (Episode 77). Ich habe viel Feedback und Nachfragen zu der ersten Episode bekommen, daher freue ich mich darauf dieses spannende Thema nochmals aufgreifen zu können und neue Entwicklungen mit Dr. Gebel zu sprechen. Titus Gebel ist ein promovierter Völkerrechtler und Unternehmer mit einem weltweiten Netzwerk. Unter anderem war er Mitgründer und langjähriger CEO der an der Frankfurter Börse notierten Deutsche Rohstoff AG. Heute ist Titus Gebel der CEO von Tipolis, einem Singapurer Unternehmen, das neue Modelle des Zusammenlebens durch innovative Regierungskonzepte entwickelt. Er ist Autor des Buches "Freie Privatstädte – Mehr Wettbewerb im wichtigsten Markt der Welt", in dem er den Rahmen für die Gründung autonomer, privat verwalteter Rechtsräume darlegt. Dr. Gebel spielte eine wichtige Rolle bei der Gründung der bisher fortschrittlichsten Sonderzone, Próspera in Honduras. Er berät auch andere Länder bei der Innovation von Sonderwirtschaftszonen und ist Präsident der Free Cities Foundation, welche weltweit die Entwicklung von freien Städten fördert. Es hat noch einen weiteren Grund, warum diese Episode gerade jetzt aufgenommen wird. Einmal im Jahr findet die Liberty in our Lifetime Konferenz in Prag statt, dieses Jahr vom 1. - 3. Nov. Eine Konferenz, die sich mit dem Thema Freie Privatstädte beschäftigt und Interessenten aus der ganzen Welt anlockt. Ich werde an dieser Konferenz teilnehmen und auch versuchen, ein wenig von der Stimmung und von den Themen, die dort diskutiert werden, mitzunehmen und daraus eine Podcast-Episode zu machen. Daher können wir diese Episode auch als Einstimmung verstehen.  Wir beginnen mit einem »Elevator Pitch«, in der Dr. Gebel das Konzept der freien Privatstädte kurz vorstellt. Regierung als Dienstleistung — was sind diese Dienstleistungen, was sind die Kosten? Was sind wesentliche Probleme in der öffentlichen Verwaltung? Was ist das Principal Agent Problem? Was ist die Public Choice Problematik? Wie gehen wir mit Regeländerungen um?  Ist der Bürger zunehmend machtlos in den heutigen westlichen Nationen? Was ist die Idee des klassisch liberalen Minimalstaats, kann das funktionieren? Warum sollte das wünschenswert sein? Ist das vielleicht überhaupt eine unerhörte Idee? Es stellt sich die elementare Frage, worum sich der Staat kümmern soll, genauer gesagt, wozu er überhaupt die Kompetenz hat, sich zu kümmern. Wollen wir in Deutschland den »Übervater Staat«? Fallen wir gar in voraufklärerische Zeiten zurück? Mit welchen Makrotrends oder großen Fragen, die heute zum Glück langsam wieder thematisiert werden, überschneiden sich diese Konzepte? Konzepte von Freiheit, Verhältnis Bürger / Staat; wer muss sich vor wem rechtfertigen? Wie sind Unterschiede im Blickwinkel auf diese Fragen zwischen den USA und Europa?  Welche Probleme kann man zentralisieren und welche muss man dezentral lösen oder jedenfalls angehen? Kann Planwirtschaft, auch wenn sie in der Vergangenheit immer gescheitert ist, in der Zukunft dennoch erfolgreich sein, z. B. durch die Nutzung von »künstlicher Intelligenz«? Zieht jede Zentralisierung immer mehr Macht an sich? Aus Konzentration von Macht folgt keineswegs eine Konzentration von Wissen. Wie groß ist der Unterschied zwischen common law/case law gegenüber civil law in der »Philosophie« und in der Praxis? Sind die FPS nur eine »Meta-Idee«, die verschiedenste Ausprägungen erlauben? Sind in Wahrheit Experiment und Wettbewerb eines der führenden Prinzipien? Ist das aktuelle System reformierbar? »Der Staat soll nur Schiedsrichter sein und nicht mitspielen« Warum gibt es so viel Gegenwind gegen neue und unkonventionelle Ideen? »Wenn ich fremde Produkte verbieten muss, aus Angst, dass sie meine besten Leute abziehen, dann ist mit mir etwas nicht in Ordnung.« Wie ist der Umgang der früheren Leitmedien mit solchen neuen Vorschlägen? »Die Idee, dass die Menschen ihre Probleme selber lösen, ist nicht verbreitet.« Unter welchen Rahmenbedingungen funktioniert Demokratie überhaupt? Glauben die heutigen »Progressiven« überhaupt noch an die Demokratie, die sie angeblich ständig verteidigen müssen? Wird gerade die Majestätsbeleidigung wieder eingeführt?  Was sollten wir über Skalierung wissen? Ist die Stadt möglicherweise die beste politisch/organisatorische Größe? Wie unterscheiden sich die unterschiedlichen Konzepte, von der Sonderwirtschaftszone bis zur Freien Privatstadt? Was ist Seasteading — am Beispiel von Ocean Builders? Was macht Tipolis als Unternehmen, und wie geht es dem Vorzeigeprojekt Próspera? Sind diese Konzepte möglicherweise geeignet, um zu helfen, Afrika aus der Armut zu führen, nachdem die Ansätze der letzten Jahrzehnte keine wesentliche Verbesserung gebracht haben? Was können wir von Javier Milei in Argentinien erwarten? Symptom oder Zeitenwende?

Patri Friedman is the legendary founder of The Seasteading Institute, and General Partner at Pronomos Capital, a VC fund focused on improving statecraft.Patri is the foremost thinker behind the idea of "competitive governance". Patri has been a huge inspiration for this show, and for Infinita VC.This makes this one of the most defining and important episodes in the history of the podcast.We talk about Patri's life's work and the venture funding side of funding new cities or governance experiments to foster human progress and flourishing.Patri talks about how ideas like charter cities, AI safety, internet money or life extension were part of fringe, cypherpunk-like groups.These ideas gained adoption to millions with the expansion of the internet, Silicon Valley culture and blockchain/cryptocurrency technology.After working on alternative governance ideas for 15+ years, including the foundation of Seasteading, Patri turned to VC as a way to realize these ideas.In 2019, he founded Pronomos to support charter cities. Initially, with little dealflow, new projects are now more than ever reaching him.We talk about how Balaji Srinivasan's book "The Network State" has added new fuel to the movement by innovating on a model with lower barriers to entry.The movement is now at an inflection point.The "zero-to-one" has been achieved with Próspera Honduras, and several dozens of projects like Praxis, Small Farm Cities or Kift are maturing rapidly.At this inflection point, the movement needs founders and entrepreneurs. Patri is planning to start a venture studio that is building a sales pipeline with governments open to new models for economic development and matching with founders to start them.There is no better time to build!Infinita Linktree: https://linktr.ee/infinitavc

The idea of leaving society to start up a new one isn't exactly new... history is full of people leaving to go start new countries. But the idea became especially fashionable in 20th century America and was jump-started as a reaction to the counterculture in the 1960's, and given new life by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs in the 2000's. Dave talks with Raymond Craib, professor of history at Cornell University, about his new book "Adventure Capitalism: A History of Libertarian Exit from the Era of Decolonization to the Digital Age" which covers the upsurge in these ideas in the 60's to today, and their connection to everything from Brexit to Seasteading.

At the center of the competitive governance movement is Patri Friedman –the co-founder and Director of the Seasteading Institute, who more recently founded Pronomos Capital, a venture capital firm devoted to transforming the “governance industry” by promoting the idea of startup countries.Patri was one of my first guests when I started broadcasting in 2009. Much has changed since he first launched the Seasteading Institute, and I invited Patri to share what he's been up to and how the landscape (seascape?) has changed in the last 13 years.Seasteading and related land-based projects represent the next frontier for radical libertarianism, following in the footsteps of Patri's father – the anarcho-capitalist thinker David Friedman – and his grandfather, the late Milton Friedman. Milton Friedman showed how free trade areas like Hong Kong could supercharge growth and lead millions out of poverty. Patri's ambition is to revive the fading legacy of Hong Kong, enabling the establishment of a thousand new nations – floating or otherwise – to pull humanity into the more optimistic scenario for the future. However, as we will discuss, these new governing entities need not adopt libertarian principles to still advance the broader libertarian agenda of enhancing freedom and competition at the level of choosing one's jurisdiction. What freedom could be more important?

Seasteading allows people to live on the ocean detached from the burdens of land-based life. Bringing together libertarians, science fiction fans, and engineers, there's a place in the seasteading community for everyone. On this episode of Campfire, Jackson sat down with Carly Jackson, the Development Director of the Seasteading Institute. The two of them chatted about what seasteading is, why it's important, the legal landscape around it, and the practical considerations before launching a seastead.

Peter Young is the managing director of the Free Cities Foundation. In this interview, we discuss the development of autonomous administrative areas around the world called ‘free cities', where new types of governance can be offered to citizens outside the control of existing states. - - - - Paul Romer, former chief economist at the World Bank and a Nobel prize winner, proposed in 2009 the concept of Charter Cities. Romer was trying to tackle the problem of stagnant investment in the Global South arising from bad governance. The solution was to evolve the idea behind special economic zones and create autonomous city-states within existing countries. The autonomy would extend to alternate legal and political systems from the host nation, and to the provision of services by private organisations. An advanced guarantor country would protect the legal rights of residents. The idea was that such cities would become trusted centres predicated on good rules, attracting investment, firms and people, the benefits of which then filter beyond the cities' boundaries into the host country. The Free City Foundation have taken Romer's idea and sought to implement it in different parts of the world. The aim is to provide citizens with alternatives to the status quo: establishing new legal, financial and municipal relationships with residents. The ideology is to reduce the size of the modern state, which is considered to act in its own self-interest at the expense of society. There are a number of different scales of initiatives for the Free City Foundation: from intentional communities to prosperity zones, all the way to Free Private Cities. Prospera in Honduras is a working example of a Free City: a new settlement on the island of Roatán is being developed within its own civil law, regulatory agencies and taxation; although it must still adhere to the Honduran constitution, international treaties and criminal law. But this is only the start: many more examples are being developed across the world. Perhaps the most innovative idea is Seasteading, where independent communities are developed in international waters, outside of the jurisdiction of existing governments. Are these initiatives viable and preferable alternatives to the nation-state? That may be too early to tell, but there is a growing number of investors who think they are the future of civilisation.

Max talks to Tony Olsen, founder of Freedomhaven about the idea of Seasteading, and the practical and theoretical issues it raises.

Jules and Sean trace the origins of the American Veterans Day and why everyone else still calls it Armistice Day, Weimar post-war debt, Bretton Woods, the IMF, and the ISIS dinar. Sean gathers the threads of crypto-themed events, the Psychic Friends Network, Billionaire influencers, and Seasteaders into something that sort of looks like a theme. ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ ⛬ For $3 a month, get an extra few subscriber only episodes every month.

Creating new cities or countries on the ocean has long been just a dream. Is seasteading getting closer. Joe Quirk of the Seasteading Institute thinks so. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Seasteading is one of the last options for free and private living in the world today. Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Grant Romundt, CEO of Ocean Builders, about the company's work on self-sustaining seapods.

Garrett and Gary are joined by their first guest speaker Nicolas Fawcett. Nick's background is in Philosophy and Urban Regional Planning. Nick is also an Ambassador for The Seasteading Institute. We get into a variety of topics, new forms of governmental systems, how to build smart cities, transportation systems, clean energy and water scarcity. Naturally, we get into a bit of philosophy. The nature of reality, quantum physics, solipsism, religion, life and meaning. Free Private Cities by Titus Gebel https://www.freeprivatecities.com/en/  The Seasteading Institute www.seasteading.org Floating Houses “Seasteads” www.oceanbuilders.com

Já imaginou cidades flotantes? Cidades-estado? Novas jurisdições, novos estados soberanos? Pois essa é a ideia do "seasteading" e, curiosamente, temos já alguns exemplos desse conceito. Um destes virou filme no Netflix.

For today's episode, they speak with Rob Viglione, the co-founder, and CEO of Horizen Labs. Rob shares that he started out as a mathematician and physicist for the United States Air Force Space Command. He has is an expert in Bitshares, Zclassics, Seasteading, BlockPay, and Bitgate. Currently, Rob is a Ph.D. candidate in Finance because of his research in crypto finance and his teachings in "Bitcoin and Blockchain Applications in Finance." Viglione also has an MBA in Finance and Marketing and a PMP certification. -- Divi is creating the world's first closed-loop, vertically-integrated cryptocurrency ecosystem. Much like Apple's ecosystem is anchored by iCloud, the Divi Project blockchain serves as the core of the Divi network of technologies. Thanks to a keen understanding of the divide that separates the mainstream from the crypto world, the Divi team is able to create solutions to the industry's biggest problem: adoption by non-technical users. Divi's user-friendly, one-click solutions aim to bring blockchain-based payments into modernity with great UX. In this podcast, we will cover all aspects of cryptocurrency, hot topics, and technology as worldwide adoption grows.

On today's bonus show Grant Romundt joins John to discuss a very exciting and fast moving startup in seasteading. Grant is the CEO of Ocean Builders. Ocean Builders is located at Linton Bay Marina on the Caribbean Sea in Panama. Ocean Builders is the first company to build a floating home in the open ocean with plans to build many more. They recently acquired a cruise ship, which has been named the MS Satoshi. It will remain stationed in the Panama's territory in Linton Bay and provide an exciting option for many entrepreneurs to relocate. Grant Romundt is an early adopter and innovator of new technology and he had one of the most advanced mobile paperless offices in Canada in 1995. He lived in a tech “frat-house” in San Francisco with one of the 6 co-founders of PayPal. Grant owns several businesses specializing in software development, video production, education, sales, and training. His customers include many billion-dollar multinational companies. For the past four years, he has been living in a floating home and is now bringing his experience to Ocean Builders in order to mass produce futuristic floating homes.

Are you sick of living on under the rule of law? Are you tired of having easy access to food and utilities? Well if you are, then just take all that cash you made from Bitcoin and set out to live in the open ocean. That is exactly what American Chad Elwartowski and his Thai girlfriend Supranee Theopdet aka Bitcoin Girl Thailand did. That is until the Thai Navy raided their seastead shelter and declared them fugitives on the run. As of this recording they are still on the run.

In place of a voiceless Jason Hartman, Adam takes the reins today to discuss some articles that have come across his eyes discussing home prices in various areas of society and why they shouldn't be as big a surprise as the media seems to think they are. He also touches on the possibility of the government offering a 100 year bond. Then Jason talks with Patri Friedman, Executive Director of The Seasteading Institute, about creating new countries using the seasteading technique. Patri discusses how the concept would work in today's environment and why it's not absurd to think of a country being created on the water. It's coming sooner than you expect. Key Takeaways: [2:34] Home prices in driveable areas are now outpacing those in walkable areas [4:39] Government considering offering a 100 year bond Patri Friedman Interview: [8:36] What is seasteading? [13:28] Why not just buy land from a country rather than doing everything out at sea? [17:28] Patri's goal is seeing governments competing for citizens by treating them best [21:04] How do you deal with security when you're in the middle of the ocean? [25:25] What are these seasteads going to do for currency? Website: www.JasonHartman.com/Cruise www.JasonHartman.com/Events www.Seasteading.org www.Twitter.com/Patrissimo

Seasteading was the stuff of the future. Not anymore! What's in the News with stories on military draft for women, future states of emergency, FBI lies, rent control, dismissing pot convictions, and freedom of the press. Finally, an Ask Me Anything with questions on feminism, Just War doctrine, and voting. This episode is brought to you by NordVPN, the easiest, cheapest, and fastest way to get secure and private access to the internet I've ever seen, and I use it every single day. Also, brought to you by Tom Woods's Liberty Classroom, helping you to become a smarter and more informed libertarian than ever before, for just 24 cents a day.   WHAT'S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES The very first seastead is in international waters, folks. Welcome to a new age! On February 2nd after almost a month of preparation and waiting for ideal wave conditions, Ocean Builders has raised the world's first seastead in international waters 12 nautical miles out from Phuket, Thailand.   WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In draft is theft news, a federal judge in Texas has declared that an all-male military draft is unconstitutional, ruling that "the time has passed" for a debate on whether women belong in the military. In state of emergency news, as I predicted when Trump declared a national emergency to fund his wall, Sen. Elizabeth Warren said that she would declare national emergencies for climate change, gun violence, and student loan debt if she was elected president. In bad boys news, an FBI scientist has been shown to make statements in court linking defendants to crimes, even when his own lab results showed the exact opposite. Oregon is poised to become the first state in the nation to impose statewide limits on how much landlords can raise rents after state lawmakers passed a sweeping measure. In harm reduction news, more than 8,000 pot cases in San Francisco since 1975, including felony convictions, will be dismissed through an automated clearance system. In unfit to exist news, a list of thousands of criminal cops was accidentally released under public records laws, and now the California Attorney General is threatening two reporters with legal action... for just having a copy of the list.   ASK ME ANYTHING I have a few more questions in my Ask Me Anything queue, so I thought I would knock them out in this segment this week. After this episode airs, I will have new threads for you to ask more questions for me. Those threads will be in the Pax Libertas Productions Podcast Fans Facebook group, my The LAVA Flow Super Secret Facebook group only for supporters, and in Patreon. You can also ask me a question by sending an email to AMA@thelavaflow.com. This week I answer questions on feminism, Just War doctrine, and voting.

Seasteading has made some bold moves by signing an agreement with French Polynesia, and they have a pretty aggressive timeline. You don't want to miss hearing about this. What's in the News with stories on everyone gets a trophy, forced solar panels, cop sex illegal, sports gambling, and Google employees protesting. Finally, and Ask Me Anything segment with questions on breaking laws to defend yourself, pollution in a voluntaryist society, and drug war intellectual honesty.

Some of the best chances, as far as I can tell, are those that separate and congregate hose who believe in freedom. Clearly, at this point in my life, I believe that the Free State Project is the best such project out there, but there are many others that could give it a run for its money in the future. Whether it be Liberland, Free Society, seasteading, and more.  But, one one of these came across my news desk a few days ago from CNBC that deserves a really close look if for no other reason that it has more legs than the rest. A floating Pacific island is in the works with its own government, cryptocurrency, and 300 houses.    WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In everyone gets a trophy news, a New Jersey high school is taking a new approach to cheerleading tryouts, and not all parents and cheerleaders are fans of the new policy. Under the new rules, everyone makes the squad or no one does. In solar or else news, a state board in California has approved a proposal to require solar panels on all new homes beginning in 2020, a measure that would increase the cost of new construction but provide savings on utilities — and help the state meet ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In woe was me news, a new Kansas law makes it a crime for police to have sex with people they pull over for traffic violations or detain in criminal investigations. In one small step news, the United States Supreme Court struck down a federal law that prohibits sports gambling in a landmark decision that gives states the go-ahead to legalize betting on sports. In some folks still have integrity news, around a dozen Google employees have quit over the company's involvement in an artificial intelligence drone program for the Pentagon called Project Maven, Gizmodo reported.   ASK ME ANYTHING It's that time again, where I answer your burning questions!

A conversation for our political times. A discussion about making government work better with Patri Friedman Chairman of the Board and Co-Founder of the Seasteading Institute about competitive governance in multi stack holder environments.Continue Reading → The post FIR INTERVIEW: PATRI FRIEDMAN ON COMPETITIVE GOVERNANCE AND SEASTEADING appeared first on FIR Podcast Network.

Two weeks ago, Bob welcomed Czech native Vit Jedlicka to the show, to discuss his nascent new country of Liberland, located in the no-man's-land between Serbia and Croatia. While Vit is busy recruiting a global legion of volunteers and ambassadors for his new country effort, a related movement is picking up steam right here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Seasteading Institute, founded in 2008 in Silicon Valley, is a nonprofit organization leading the push to populate the high seas with hundreds, or even thousands, of brand-new “startup” societies. Each “seastead” would compete for citizens like businesses compete for customers. This would force innovation, since people could “vote with their boats,” i.e., move to another seastead, if the government failed to provide services or began taxing too much. Joe Quirk is The Seasteading Institute's Communications Director, an acclaimed author of both fiction and nonfiction, and the world's most prolific “seavangelist.” He joins Bob live in the studio to explain why we need seasteading to reinvigorate the frontier and jumpstart both technological and political progress. Quirk's words have inspired audiences worldwide to the cause of seasteading – and not just libertarians. His eight great moral imperatives video series made the case for a “Blue Revolution” in sustainable seafood production, under the stewardship of more efficient, innovative governance. It's a message that should appeal to people across the political spectrum. Listen with a friend and find out you share more common ground – in the ocean – than you thought.
