I think we all know how this'll turn out: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/silicon-valley-billionaire-funding-creation-artificial-libertarian-islands-140840896.html
Wait until some sort of huge tsunami or storm come out of no where, what'll happen to the island then?!
Someone is too big a fan of the little sisters.... Could be interesting to watch as a "reality" television show if it succeeds.
Seasteading is the future, has been since the 1970's. The only reason why one of these projects has never come to fruition since then is the enormous cost. I'm seriously hoping someone finally makes the idea of a modular floating city a reality within my lifetime. It's kind of sad all people can think about when they see a project like this is Bioshock but hey, who wouldn't want to live in Rapture? Splicers and all.
Well I mean, hey, whats the first thing you think of when you think sea village? Um Guns and giant metal beings duhhh.
Well obviously you'll need some guns unless you want to be overrun by pirates. This is international waters we're talking about.
Somali pirates, land pirates, sky pirates, pirates with submarines, pirates on the internet, pirates on film. Ether you're joking or haven't been paying attention, we're up to our asses in pirates these days. It's like a freaking pirate jamboree. Any kind of seastead is going to need to be well stocked with anti-ship guns in order to defend itself. I'm totally down with that though, maybe we can just create a giant floating island that goes around pirating from the pirates.
Reminds me of sealand which is basicly an oil rig just outside of uk territory someone has declared a soveriegn state. I'd love to have my own little country and make all my own rules but sealand while still being it's own country has had the odd invasion in it's history and is not really recognised by most other country's but it's cool it's still there.
Why not? I hear the rent is cheap is cheap and you never have to pay for electricity! That's got to be better then living in Brazil with the giant steam pipes everywhere, soul crushing bureaucracy and Robert De Niro breaking into your apartment all the time!
I was only kidding around. I added the eye roll at the end as an allusion to that fact. Probably was not the right smiley to use.
Unfortunately yes. There are a bit too many pirates, ninjas and zombies. But surprisingly not enough Pirate Ninja Zombies....
