On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, Shane is joined once again by Jason Boothe to examine more suggestions from previous freedom-seekers, taken from the recently published libertarian publication, Ocean Freedom Notes.
Ocean Freedom Notes, 1984-1990
Specifically, the proposal of free communities on icebergs and in Antarctica, as well as potentially mining icebergs for profit…seriously. Article discussed include:
- Free Community on Ice (May 1984)
- Antarctica Peninsula (July 1988)
- Ice Island: A Mobile Research, Political Outpost for Canada (NY Times, Aug. 21, 1988)
- Ice Island by Jim Stumm (Dec. 1989)
- Antarctic Ice Mining (May 1990)
Jason & Shane attempt to answer these questions: Is it economically feasible? Environmentally feasible? Is it even worth it? Does it truly make you more invulnerable to coercion? And much, much more.
Show Notes:
