How long would that Utopian society last if food deliveries stopped? And who'd want to live that close to an airport?All of that ostentatious uber rich opulance would literally make it a sitting duck for terrorists who would love to take a swipe at a symbol of the "corporate greed" they despise.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selene Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Ah, so Greg disapproves.Refreshing since he is so secretive on this public forum about his financial approach to the state.Hydroponic farming should amply supply the needs of that community. Deep sea fishing would assist in that endeavor.No one postulated a hidden gulch. Protection would be relatively easy, you get within 1,000 yards, you will be warned and then vaporized by the security drones.Who would want to live close to an airport...really? That is an objecttion?A... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The behavior of large groups of molecules can be predicted and controlled, but it is impossible to predict the behavior of one molecule. The farther away one is from cities, the more freedom of independent autonomous action one can enjoy.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I stated my preference for rural living away from urban mobs, as well as offering a reason why.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrell Hougen Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Somewhere in my archives I have the original Constitution of "Oceania," a floating libertarian city. It was to be anchored in a particular location but could be expanded by attaching additional floating platforms. The idea was to create a floating "land mass" on which houses, buildings and other structures could be constructed. The area would expand as the population grew and new residents paid for additional floating platforms to be added.Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
