I think things have been getting far too "interesting" lately.

[5/6] Les critiques soulignent que ce libertarianisme radical nourrit des élites crypto-trads, proches des techno-oligarques américains. Derrière le discours d’innovation se cache une logique extractiviste et sécessionniste réservée aux 1% les plus riches. #geography #utopias

[4/6] Friedman pivote vers la terre ferme avec Prospera, enclave libertarienne au Honduras. Présentée comme vitrine du capitalisme dérégulé, cette "charter city" attire les investisseurs mais suscite la méfiance des autorités locales qui dénoncent un projet colonial. #geography #utopias

[3/6] Les projets de "micronations flottantes" se heurtent vite à la souveraineté des Etats. En Thaïlande en 2017, Ocean Builders, soutenu par Friedman, est contraint de fuir face aux autorités. Ces échecs montrent les limites juridiques d’utopies libertariennes. #geography #utopias

[2/6] Soutenu dès 2008 par Peter Thiel, Patri Friedman fonde The Seasteading Institute pour créer des îles flottantes autonomes. L'objectif est d'offrir aux ultrariches des espaces où expérimenter de nouveaux systèmes politiques, loin des Etats jugés trop contraignants. #geography #utopias

Patri Friedman, le «hobbit» libertarien qui rêve d’installer les ultrariches sur des îles flottantes Figure discrète de la Silicon Valley, le petit-fils de l’icône néolibérale Milton Friedman veut développer des capsules flottantes autonomes pour milliardaires sur les océans. Portrait d’un «crypto-tr...

[1/6] Nastasia Hadjadji raconte l’itinéraire de Patri Friedman, héritier d’une dynastie néolibérale. Petit-fils de Milton Friedman, il milite pour un monde sans Etat-nation et imagine des gouvernances alternatives, notamment en mer avec son projet de "seasteading". #geography #utopias

🧵 Cerramos la semana de #utopías y #distopías con #GiorgioAgamben (1942-), el filósofo que muestra cómo vivimos en una distopía real disfrazada de normalidad democrática.
Su tesis radical: el estado de excepción no es la anomalía sino el paradigma secreto del poder político moderno. La […]

MINIESTADOS | 06x51 Los miniestados no son sólo esos paraísos fiscales que son más o menos conocidos, como por ejemplo Mónaco. Tampoco son colonias como la de Gibraltar. Son lugares inventados y surgidos de la nada con una causa o una excentricidad de su fundador o fundadores. Tienen himno, Constitución, sello, moneda y bandera, aunque no siempre prosperaron. Quizá es porque en el ámbito geopolítico no tienen cabida o quizá es porque los países que les rodean no les dejaron prosperar. Algunos ya no existen, unos pocos si.

I looked up #future #utopias #concept #art and the future is #green or we go extinct. All of these are cool but it’s annoying that our vision of the future’s building color schemes are so clinically drab. More variety please. My favorite is that last pic.

Sometimes it's hard to separate a doable task with a potential path for after it's done. Wanting to do so much and knowing where you are... I want lots of tomorrows, I suppose.

When did utopia die? And could it return?

The problem is #Utopias are 'all the same' - people get basic necessities of life - and 'unknowable' - because all we know is #suffering under the #autocracy of #money.

The flowering of Utopian not a great plaza, or monuments, or even space stations - it's a quiet peaceful life that most want.

Oh, I just love this! Classic science fiction and a great introduction to the solarpunk genre. Great story! #solarpunk #clifi #sciencefiction #utopias
