Interesting anti-parallel: “Anarchists think there’s no threat when there is one (a “competing government” would be a threat). Conservatives think there is a threat when there isn’t (a random foreigner crossing the border isn’t a threat).” — Harry Binswanger, 2018, HBL #122582
A blog post I wrote in 2017, before I took up the ’new country’ idea, was about a “Burning Man”-like permament gateway, but for Objectivists:

I think it’s still interesting and has potential.
Very interesting. I always wonder if things like these could be property tax exempt if made as a non profit since it is a “game” sort of thing.
I also wonder if objectivism itself could qualify for religious tax exemptions. I mean religion, Christianity, etc. is a philosophy. So I don’t see how it wouldn’t have the same qualifications.
Another way to think about the size and scope of this kind of project is like the TV series “Westworld”
So given that there were 4600 live viewers of the American Capitalist Party on Facebook, it’s curious why so few showed up in person.
Honestly now that I think about it I don’t know why they had it in person at all. Could have had it all online in a discord call.
Think those that show up in person are cut from a different cloth?
More dedicated and serious? At least, more committed.
I’d think so. But then again if I’d known they were live streaming it I wouldn’t have gone myself either
