Join Patri Friedman, Brad Taylor, and The Freeman, March 8 at 2 pm eastern for a 45-minute online chat about the market for governance and seasteading. Patri’s and Brad’s article, “Seasteading: Striking at the Root of Bad Government,” appeared in the March issue of The Freeman. The article alleges that the current market for governance is dominated by a group of large geographical monopolies not subject to competition.

If you can make it out to Berkeley on March 24th, Patri is giving a short talk at the Economist sponsored conference, “Ideas Economy: Innovation for a Disruptive World.”

According to their website:

The Seasteading Institute is excited to announce the release of our first official engineering report! We’ve posted drafts before, but this is our first paper sanctioned by our Director of Engineering. This “assumptions and methodology” report covers topics such as concepts, materials, location, mobility, energy needs, ocean waves, comfort, costs, and much more.

I am pleased to be The Seasteading Institute’s new Director of Communications and to work on this avant-garde venture with the industrious, accomplished and visionary team on staff, and the seasteading community at large. The Seasteading Institute is one of the few rays of hope for peacefully developing new governments.
