Greetings Friends of The Seasteading Institute,
As protests spread across the USA, Congress approval ratings hit all-time lows, and the European Union contemplates dissolution, interest in seasteading is higher than ever. There’s never been a greater need for an alternative to today’s inadequate governments.
Over the last several weeks we’ve enjoyed an explosion of new newsletter subscribers — welcome to our hundreds of new readers! The Seasteading Institute is dedicated to creating diverse, innovative societies on the ocean.
Our vision for seasteading is to improve government through competition, and my personal talents lie in seeing possibilities and starting initiatives. Many groups and organizations in the past have tried their hand at the audacious task of creating innovative societies, and I saw the possibility for seasteading to powerfully advance this idea with our unique approach…
Floating cities are not going to appear overnight, but the staff of The Seasteading Institute are working diligently to enable the creation of seasteads sooner than later.
At times it may seem as if seasteading is still years into the future. It’s good to keep in mind that, with each passing day, we’re getting closer and closer to the day seasteading becomes a reality. Lest we lose momentum, it is also worth reminding ourselves that, as Executive Director Patri Friedman says, “Seasteading is epic!”
It is with great delight that I pen my first newsletter to the supporters and friends of The Seasteading Institute. At the beginning of February I joined the team as the first ever Director of Communication. When I applied for the position I knew I was on the verge of a life changing and world changing opportunity.
In this newsletter we will mainly discuss about the 2011 Seasteading Strategy, the new research papers that is now available online and the introduction of the Magellan Network.
