Doesn't Peter Thiel promote "seasteading"? It's like Galt's Gulch, but with Norovirus.

- orbitingpluto 8y agoYes, with the non-American and non-coding workers barely outside of American waters living in a perpetual lawless, union-less hellscape. They'd never even be able to take a day trip to San Francisco. It's seems perfectly reasonable if your goal is to enslave Filipino women into sex work without consequences. It'd probably be more like "Heaven" in the Netflix show Altered Carbon, but instead of floating in the air, it'd be floating in international waters. I've commented on this before. I think I was shadowbanned for a few weeks because I pointed the inescapable fact that the people who supply services in this coder's paradise would wish they chose to give up their passports and enslave themselves in Qatar instead.
- rhaps0dy 8y agoHuh, what does norovirus have to do with this?
- ssmmww 8y agoIt’s presumably a reference to the fact that norovirus outbreaks are common on cruise ships.
