Paypal Founder Puts a Half Million Dollars Into Seasteading

eldavojohn writes "Wired is running an informative article on Paypal Founder Peter Thiel's investment in seasteading. There's a great graphic indicating how the spar design helps platforms weather rough seas with a ballast. There's a lot more than just Thiel throwing the half million towards this and they hope to pitch this to San Fransisco for a bay pilot. Ocean colonies can be both liberating and also downright human-rights-lacking scary."

    Yes, but the ethical detrius already controls society. They're going to eject you.

    And, of course, the ethical detrius never believes that they are the ethical detrius. You could be the "real" ethical detrius. I could be the "ethical detrius."

    (Who am I kidding; no I couldn't. ^.^

    Allow me to show you just exactly how utterly devoid of meaning your post is :

    Wow, what a tottering tower of misinterpretation, unfounded assumptions and bogus straw men. I don't even know where to start wading through this pile of horse shit, so I'm not even going to try. You've been reading too much Phillip Dick, haven't you?

    All I'll say is, you have a pretty fucked up definition of fair.

    You see, your idiotic reply is just as applicable to your own post as to mine. It doesn't have ANY content. In fact it's so utterly devoid of meaning it could be an Obama speech.
