Ideas wanted: Seasteading Book PR

Patri — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 20:11:09 -0400

Would love help coming up with media contacts for the upcoming seasteading book - people who could review it & get the word out especially. Ideally we can find a wide variety of people in a variety of forums, each of whom has written something that indicates they are philosophically aligned with seasteading. Would be awesome if those of y'all who read a lot of blogs/press or network a lot with media types would bookmark this page and make use of it over the coming months :). This is an experiment in crowdsourcing more of our research - we'll see how it goes!

Latest Seasteading Talk Video: Mises Brazil

Patri — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 15:11:13 -0400

The Mises Institute Brazil has posted the video of my talk at the first Mises Brazil conference earlier this year, to 200+ people. They gave me a long time slot, so rather than the short introductory talk I give to audiences like TEDx, I got to include a bunch of structural activism discussion as well as just seasteading. This is the longest and most-recent talk video available for seasteading, so...enjoy!

Ephemerisle 2010 Cancellation

Patri — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 21:30:06 -0400

We regret to tell our community that after much discussion this week, we are canceling Ephemerisle 2010 due to insurance costs. The estimate for insurance-related expenses has risen from an early estimate of $55,000 to a total of $135,000, with much of the jump happening a week ago. This caused us to take a long, hard look at Ephemerisle's budget and the ROI of the event as a whole.
