There is an article by him in the Objectivust Forum
Interesting site that revisits the topic we discussed a few days ago: https://www.ideabrowser.com/
.
It’s clear given the context of the article . You are quoting just a single sentence
I just wanted to roughly point out where the old discussion started.
It’s interesting that there are websites that share ideas which, as such, aren’t protected by intellectual property laws
There are really impressive talented people in this channel of ours.
“Capitalism is not trade in skin color, heritage, or tribe — it is trade in value. In a truly capitalist system, the only thing that matters is what you bring to the table: your ideas, your skills, your productivity. It is the great equalizer because it strips away superficial categories and focuses solely on voluntary exchange for mutual gain. …” – Rock Chartrand, Twitter.
Just had the idea that Point Roberts could expand into the bay, to gain more living territory, thereby hosting larger population. And it can expand into Canada potentially into the far future
Into adjacent tsawwassen
@participant-3927 what do you think about conquering Vatican City?
There are 882 inhabitants, most of whom are clergymen: with three hundred men we may take over the Holy See.
We’d just have to gain the Pope’s consent: we may propose him that he either supports us and we’d let him be a citizen and treat the Catholic Church as a private company (letting it keep its properties), or he gets exiled
I even have the design for a flag :D
Blake Scholl is an Objectivist, and the founder of Boom SuperSonic. On Feb 10, it demonstrated the first supersonic flight that doesn’t make a loud sound on the ground. The trick is to fly high enough to have the sound shock wave reflected back, instead of travelling to the ground. On June 6 (yesterday), Trump repealed regulations that restricted supersonic flight, provided the loud sound doesn’t reach the ground.
So there are several big deal discoveries that will change things: LLMs, treatment by gene manipulation, mRNA injection, sweet protein, supersonic flights, lab meat. Now, imagine if this tech had a free country to anchor in?
I suggest Vatican City
@participant-2236 what do you think?
Have you visited Vatican? It may be worth making a visit before conquering it 😄
Yes, why?
Vatican is not a real country, and it’s too small
Need a country that has enough land to grow basic foods and to be somewhat independent, at least while it’s growing. The reason is that nearby countries can restrict trade and affect it
