Saturday 13/feb/10: floating nations, III

I: Good morning
In the film 2012, magnates around the globe buy tickets billion to fill a booth at the huge coffers that have been built by major world powers to survive the coming cataclysm. With the shifting of tectonic plates tsunamis are everywhere, and the only way to fight it, for a tiny portion of humanity is in floating cities that are home to governors, millionaires, and individuals selected for their skills in particular fields - and com or a group of castings, which give kitsch flavor and history. The idea of \u200b\u200bgiant ships as a last bastion for the survival of the human species is not only a science fiction fantasy, but to seriously consider an alternative in case of a cataclysmic event. In fact, there are people who already are doing, but not for reasons of apocalyptic alarm, but by very clear political and economic interests. The mysterious words today are: floating nations, third (and final) part

II: at sea all is happiness
Peter Thiel was in 2000, one of the founders of Paypal, the payment system that revolutionized online transactions, which was acquired a couple of years later on eBay, at a rate of 1.500 million . Thiel was also an early investor in the nascent Facebook (and now occupies a seat on its board of directors), and a couple of years, invested significantly in (and drew international attention to) the Seasteading Institute, an initiative led by the economist (and former Google engineer) Patri Friedman, grandson of Milton Friedman more by token.

The mission of the Institute Seasteading is "moving towards the establishment and growth of permanent autonomous ocean communities, leading to innovation with new political and social systems. When opening a new frontier, we intend to revolutionize the human capacity to improve the quality of life throughout the world through experimentation and competition between governments. " In other words, it is seriously applied it to create a floating nation.

According to an official document of Organizational Strategy, the SI will, by the end of this to not an individual living permanently in a facility sea, and by May 2011 there will be a family under the same conditions. A five-year goal is to provide shelter to at least 150 individuals, and by 2019 expected to form a community of 1000 people living in residential communities around the world sea, having already established "meaningful and open dialogue with relevant government departments United States and the United Nations. "

The aim of Friedman, Thiel and colleagues, is that by 2059 the number seasteaders counted in at least 5 million, and already a number of marine sites are officially recognized as sovereign states "other powers" of world (implying that it will be a power Seasteading time). Within a century, Seasteading is displayed as a power of 500 million people, leading to "the effects of competitive government and geography fluid apparent, and are openly discussed by world leaders as a significant factor in shaping their own policy decisions. " In other words, "Ah, fear?".

The Institute is experiencing Seasteading accepting memberships and donors, and if you like. We are on the web: http://www.ernestocortes.com/ . I read: Ernesto@CuerdaCueroyCanto.com
