057 - Joe Quirk: Seasteading, Evolutionary Psychology & The Surveillance State

<p>Seasteading, Flotels, Aquapreneurs, Evolutionary Psychology, Climate Change, Burning Man, Surveillance State, Distributed Problem Solving, Underwater Hotels.</p> <p>Timothy Allen talks with Joe Quirk.</p> <p>I really enjoy my conversations with Joe. The first time I met him was at our conference two years ago when I interviewed him for a film and it was instantly obvious that he is a great orator and overall extremely interesting guy. </p> <p>This is a light hearted conversation about Seasteading. Joe is the president of the Seasteading Institute and extremely knowledgeable on the subject. I mean, from who else could I learn exciting new words such as flotel, coralcrete, aquapreneurs and seavilisation? If you listen to this podcast regularly, you’ll know how much I love new words.</p> <p>However, this conversation is also about the human condition and how best to use our innate ingenuity to stay as free as we can as individuals.</p> <p>I really enjoyed this discourse and in particular, Joe’s takes on the world. He makes fascinating observations about this particular moment in history and I sincerely hope that they can help you understand your own path forward.</p> <p>I wish you all a very wonderful Christmas if that’s something you are choosing to celebrate in the coming days. </p> <p>Enjoy the conversation.</p> <p>Free Cities Telegram Community: <a href="https://t.me/+im6c6r4jQkUzMjU0">⁠https://t.me/+im6c6r4jQkUzMjU0⁠</a></p> <p>LIBERTY IN OUR LIFETIME CONFERENCE</p> <p><a href="⁠https://libertyinourlifetime.org/⁠">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://libertyinourlifetime.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>TIMESTAMPS</p> <p>00:30 - Introduction.</p> <p>05:29 - Joe’s bibliography.</p> <p>10:27 - Evolutionary psychology, emotions, and their relation to Seasteading.</p> <p>16:10 - Burning man, temporary cities and distributed problem solving.</p> <p>23:06 - Opening your mind to the potential of Seasteading.</p> <p>28:38 - Seasteading and its potential to solve global problems.</p> <p>35:43 - Thai prototype and the nomadic Bajau sea gypsies.</p> <p>39:52 - Potential for evading state control.</p> <p>44:36 - Subcultures that already live at sea.</p> <p>48:55 - Cruise ship governance.</p> <p>56:10 - Defining the legal classification of Seasteading.</p> <p>01:01:57 - Seasteading design and regulation.</p> <p>01:08:35 - Seasteading as a solution for climate change.</p> <p>01:16:37 - The future of governance.</p> <p>TWITTER:</p> <p>Joe Quirk: <a href="https://twitter.com/joequirkexults">https://twitter.com/joequirkexults</a></p> <p>Timothy Allen: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://twitter.com/MrTimothyAllen">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/MrTimothyAllen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</p> <p>Free Cities Foundation: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://twitter.com/freecitiesfound⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/freecitiesfound⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>OTHER LINKS:</p> <p>The Seasteading Institute: <a href="https://www.seasteading.org/">https://www.seasteading.org/</a></p> <p>Joe's Books: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/4zhdejtz">http://tinyurl.com/4zhdejtz</a></p> <p>Free Cities Foundation: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://free-cities.org/⁠">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://free-cities.org/⁠</a></p>
