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. ^.^
