Who Is Peter Thiel?
Peter Thiel has had one of the best reactions to reading Atlas Shrugged that Guido has ever seen. The PayPal founder has poured $1.25m into the Seasteading Institute, which the Mail describes as “an organization that aspires to launch a floating colony into international waters, freeing them and like-minded thinkers to live by Libertarian ideals.”
Though some are already shouting “crazy” at him, Thiel seems pretty confident:
“…there are quite a lot of people who think it’s not possible. That’s a good thing. We don’t need to really worry about those people very much, because since they don’t think it’s possible they won’t take us very seriously. And they will not actually try to stop us until it’s too late.”
Who’s up for Guido Island?
What are the tax rates Guido?
I suspect that there will not be room for good for nothing screen lickers who do not contribute anything useful to society, and who aren’t even remotely amusing.
That counts out the socialists
They’ll set up a theory of class exploitation based on who gets the portholes.
No boarding cards for them, please.
They won’t let Guido in there anyway. Firstly, he’s far too poor, and secondly there’s the transmontanist issue. I mean, it’d be bloody dangerous having someone who might secretly subscribe to Rerum Novarum and Quadragesimo Anno onboard. Turn your back and they might start redistributing the ship so that the crew all get fair shares.
So Bowden and the other screen lickers don’t like my comment huh!
… maybe a bit to close to home! If you don’t like it please feel free to take a full refund etc
Thiel is just another libertarian who spouts on about gay rights and indvidual freedoms being the most important issues in the world. Why?…because it’s good for business.
He’s a far right predatory libertarian who promotes Austrian School economic theory. He made most of his money speculating with other peoples money and is just another bubble chaser.
People of his kind abuse liberal-democracies for their own greedy needs.
The liberal-democratic system counts on most of the electorate not understanding how it really works in the interest of those who profit from it. That’s what anarchism, or ‘freedom’, is really all about, and it’s why some foreign regimes try to keep us out.
Anarchist Libertarians like Alisa Zinov’yevna Rosenbaum (Ayn Rand) and Thiel conspire to keep the world as they desire. They just do (did) it in different ways.
can I be queen ?
Hey, Billy! You’ve wound up yet another tosser!
Well done, old chap – keep up the good work
Only people like anonymong knows what best for other people and that’s why its perfectly fine to extort it from them, even if they are stupid enough to disagree.
Atlas shrugged!
Put me down for a seat. I would live any where happily outside of the State Sponsored Terrorism, Economic Terrorism, and the way Government has been hijacked by the Political Elite, To Destroy then offer the Tools to Fix our every Problem. The Political Elite have lost their Legitimate Roll through their total disregard of the LAW and any Due Process. They have created a fragmented State through Social Science Experimentation the disenfranchise of the young Men and Man hood in General.
So Bowden and his fellow screen lickers don’t like this comment.
Four years for incitement to riot on Facebook. Surely Jody McIntyre and Laurie Penny should have had their collars felt by now.
That’s you, then, 14!
Will politicians be banned?
no politicons please
There should be a separate lonely island for politicians which they can run themselves. I propose the first castaway being Harriat Harridan Harperson.
Should be interesting to see them all fighting each other to death.
Would be a better TV reality programme than the Beeb or others are currently showing or planning, that’s for sure.
Yes, but what colour should The Wheel be?
… and lawyers too?
Will Guido Island Have the death penalty?
We will all be armed to the teeth, so yes.
Who is Peter Thiel? Well a big old homo for one thing. But given he’ll be the richest person on the island by far you’ll all have to bend to his will just like Dagny did to all three heroes of Atlas Shrugged. That’s how Ayn’s World works right?
http://gawker.com/5829806/facebook-billionaire-splits-from-his-libertine-pinup?tag=valleywag
I’ll keep me porthole closed then.
Oh, he’s an’Iron Hoof’ no wonder I have never heard of him.
No. But if you’d read it properly you’d know that.
There won’t be a need for the death penalty. If they are all “like-minded thinkers” then either none of them will be murderers, so no capital crimes, or all of them will be and the problem resolves itself.
No death penalty they’ll just make someone walk to their previous location (pirate style).
Will it be a bit like the Big Brother House ? If so Im up for it.
It’ll be like a floating YHA.
Everyone will be allocated certain ‘tasks’
Actually I prefer to stay in this socialist shithole. More homeless men to choose from.
Sal Bercow is in the House tomorrow.
Her publicist is Mr Oily Slymeball himself.
They deserve each other.
Arrrh! ‘Twas my idea, ye scurvy dogs! Me and me crew of like-minded libertarians did terrorise the Spanish Main free from all that Governor This, Governor That, more-water-with-your-rum Leveller nonsense! A curse on all socialist swabs wherever they may crawl!
More importantly Billy – will there be cricket there and shall we get a free glass of wine
Not sure about frre wine, but i hope there is cricket.
Whilst we’re in La La land, could I have a stripper factory and a beer volcano?
Mind you don’t end up with a paint stripper factory and a fire in the brewery.
I’ve been touched by your noodly goodliness.
I’d avoid the East Coast of Africa and if this chap who runs PayPal is anything like the service he flogs I’d make sure you’ve got a life boat to hand as he likes to take a big % of all transactions.
Peter Thiel is Big Daddy!
http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/02/09/bioshock-a-video-game-based-on-ayn-rands-philosophy-gets-a-sequel/
I would suggest that Georgism would be a good way of doing away with the harmful aspects of transfer taxation.
New Land (i.e. boats etc) could be given via tax (LVT) refunds. In time LVT refunds would become the local currency.
If you need any Parrots for your Island, call me…
Why not just move to the Cayman Islands?
Love the idea in principle, but realistically how much will this cost per square foot. Probably only going to be occupied by financial services and hedgers.
This guy is a major backer of the transhumanist movement- a movement that enaged citizens need to be wary of.They are wolves in sheeps clothings in the sense that they talk benignly about technological progress but their approach economically means that technology will solidify the divide in society. Ray kurzweil is another very rich guy backing this movement but hes obviously a fantasist and so is ignored by the majority BUT his fetish of tecnhology and the values underpinning it are dangerous in themselves even if his “technoutopia” will not in reality fully come into existence.More like dystopia.
Sounds like a plan.
It sounds like “Water World” an all time motion picture flop
With a budget of $175 million, the film grossed a mere $88 million at the U.S. box office, which seemed to make it the all time box office bomb. The film, however, did much better overseas, with $176 million at the foreign box office (for a total of $264 million),[10] and good VHS and later DVD sales, giving the movie over $100 million in profit.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterworld
Maybe you were thinking of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Postman_%28film%29
And got its own theme park bit at Eurodisney.
Yeah… I love Disney.
Here I’m the man, not the mouse.
I thought Water World was quite good. Beautifully filmed – a sort of wet Mad Max – but you have to be into that sort of thing.
Me too. And the bad guy was awesome.
For all of its faults, I quite like the island most of us are on.
I feel it’s improving as well, but we will have to be patient.
For me the biggest issue isn’t the economy, employment or law and order, it’s HMG having its hands tied by an electorate that’s been brainwashed for 13 years. That will take some time to undo. Everything else is in a holding pattern until that’s resolved.
I apply for the job of captain and deck chair arranger.
That’th my job I won it fair and thquare Mr Prentith didnt help at all leggo you beatht I will thet Mr Ballth on you!
Can Fatso Watson be Court Jester?
we had him down as anchor
So rather than hanging Piers we can drown him?
keel haul him
“Whose up for Guido Island?”
with the death penalty for cop killers and kid killers?
Could you ban socailisim on a Libertarian island?
‘Socialism’, amigo. I wouldn’t mention it, but you use and mis-spell it so often.
Don’t go down that road. You’ll end up setting fire to yourself.
Keep it up Billy, we need a few new spelings
What’s ‘Socailisim’, Billy Bum-Fuck?
It is what left wing politicons preach but dont live
And all lawyers
will there be beer and lap dancers and hookers and stuff like that?
no?
count me out!
But think of all those lovely STIs no medical attention, no drugs etc except if you have loads of dosh, when that’s gone over the side with you, it only takes one. Think of all those lovely fights you would get into, no referees, no law inforcement, the biggest wins. Do remember that Goulding book Lord of the Flies, it would end up like that, only no ship will be there to bring order, oh dear, becareful for what you wish for, you might get more than you bargained for.
I love the idea that a bunch of webmongs get excited by the idea of a Libertarian island and the first thing you want to do is control what other people think. #missesthepoint
Some of you seem to confuse Libertarianism with Fascism.
That was the point. Do you see now, leftymong.
isn’t this basically the back-story to “Bioshock”? we all know how that turned out …
What an excellent spot.
The Boston Globe described Bioshock as ” beautiful, brutal, and disquieting one of the best in years,” and compared the game to Whittaker Chambers’s 1957 riposte to Atlas Shrugged, Big Sister Is Watching You.
That’s the best review of “Atlas” I’ve read, thanks for that. Love how it ends;
“Nor would we, ordinarily, place much confidence in the diagnosis of a doctor who supposes that the Hippocratic Oath is a kind of curse.”
Meanwhile this new “Rapture” *cough* sorry “Galtville” will have a “relaxed” attitude to both guns and planning regulations. So much like Rapture expect this island to end up at the bottom of the sea.
“That’s the best review of “Atlas” I’ve read”
Nah, the review is crap; It divulges no specific information and contains too many straw men, which suggests that it was never read in the first place.
Anyway, according to his son, Whittaker “Gas” Chambers went grovelling back to Rand after writing it, so it’s a double helping of Fail.
Or ‘Lost’.
You now have Bioshock Infinite to go with that. Is anyone trying to tell us something?
Was going to mention the Bioshock likeness as soon as I saw this story if no one had done.
Guido, would you kindly have a play of Bioshock with Peter and comment on it’s conclusion.
Who’s up for . . .
I give it about a week and then the libertarians will be at each others throats
Definitely!
It might well end up feeling like being abroad and then meeting a whole load of fellow expats – not much fun.
Still, Old Holborn might be interested; meantime check out his excellent latest blog post.
but if they’re all arsebandits, won’t they be up each other’s shitters all the time?
If the islands are moored off the San Franciscan coast and the first one is an office block, I suspect that the USA may come looking for them – for the taxing rights, if nothing else…
I’m in….as long as you’ve got decent wi-fi.
To be honest I’d prefer to create a Socialist enclave – let’s call it Liverpool – and persuade all Labour voters they should move there and live a utopian Socialist life within it’s walls under the leadership of Bob Crow and John Prescott.
Then the rest of us can get on with our lives without total arseholes ruining everything all the time………
Let’s have a feminist one as well and we can ship people like Harriet Harman and Julie Bindel there and not have to listen to their incessant whining
We could call such a place “Furrycupopolis”
Don’t forget the BBC and Guardian – very necessary evils
There’s even a role for John Bercow:
“Mr Rourke! The plane! The plane!”
Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
You’re dead then, are you?
Day 762 in the Libertarian House. Sally Bercow is still annoyed at being suckered so well by Channel 5.
She always was a most obliging sucker.
Oh!
Cock!
tonight i will be touring the neighbourhood checking grit bin levels
What are you doing out of your room?
Get back in at once. Don’t make me fetch the genital cup again.
I wish them well, but I fear it will end up with ‘homo homini lupus’.
For $1.25m they could buy Canvey Island.
For 99p they could have Bradford
Think we might have to thrown in some gold.
if its liquid gold I could be interested
They could have Milton Keynes for nothing.
Bargain! Just collect all the gold sovereign rings from the inhabitants of Canvey and you will recoup your investment ten fold.
Why do this when Somalia is waiting, arms open for them, and their private security teams?
The indigenous population could be easily manipulated by the Globalists into attacking your homestead. So better to surround yourself with sea rather than sand.
I hope they havent forgotten to factor in the cost of the puncture repair kit.
Or at the very least, a bulk order of buckets.
Five hundred captains and no crew?
Well, if it’s good enough for the Royal Navy…
Boom Boom!
Oh dear, have the sailors ND’ed again?
Wouldnt it just become a floating tax haven?
JUST?
Would that work?
Bafta award winning game Bioshock was based on the same idea but an underwater city. The founder turns out to be a meglomaniac & basically everyone pretty much dies. A warning to you all !!
Jonestown looked so good on paper I tell you.
Theoretically sounds lovely but in practice typhoons are no joke.
Why not just buy an island off Greece and do it there?
Why not buy Greece, period – I think they are taking offers
I am sure the Germans would happily sell one.
I’m sure the Germans would happily sell Greece next year once the own it.
Greek Bond sales sound more and more like the plot for “Springtime for Hitler”…
You may jest, but Merkel has already suggested that the Greeks could sell off a few of their islands.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8549793.stm
Germans would buy them, and Greeks would emigrate to them for the work they provide.
Guido Island by Tight Fit: makes perfect sense.
Milton Friedman’s grandson is a director of Seasteading. Not a lot of people know that.
Vote Ron Paul.

Is he a lawyer ??
+1 on voting for Ron Paul
Its crazy.
I have all sorts of bright ideas, but as I get older, I spot the flaws in them more quickly and don’t bother. Sometimes the less outlandish ones I might tone down the plans and they sort of work.
If they aren’t going to do anything like grow food, they don’t need an island. it could be a big boat, or something like an oil rig, or just “SEALAND”.
New Sealand might be a better bet. now they’ve removed a lot of that lefty infestation the place is coming along again.
Everyone wants to go to New Zealand –well everyone with any sense. In a few years the place will be as cramped as England.
Except the weather is not all as seen on tourist sites.
http://www.sealandgov.org/
It’s been done before. The Republic of Minerva in the 70s. It was quickly invaded by Tonga. Libertarians not so much with the fighting.
Will this place have to have the obligatory 10% of Starkeys?
If so it had better have plenty of lifeboats.
Flamboyant show offs who won’t cause trouble by trying to pull your missus or daughter?
A quick google of Mr. Thiel suggests I might not be wrong.
Careful, he might try and pull you
Where would they be? The Deep Ocean? Territorial waters are 12nm and exclusive economic zones are 200nm They would end up close enough to somewhere to be ‘claimed’.
How would they obtain resources? Food? Water? Electricity?
What would they do? Trade? With what?
How would they survive? Medical skills and facilities? Blood stocks?
What if someone fancied a bit of whatever they had? Like Somali pirates?
Humans come together for a reason.
‘Humans come together for a reason.’ Yes usually to rob each other
Not necessarily. Often the reason is for one to give something to the other…
AIDS

There Liberians they don’t bother with such trifles
Chris Huhne’s going. They’re using windmill generators and they won’t need doctors because they’re all vegans and they don’t get poorly, even though if you follow one into the loo, they smell as if they should be.
What will the speed limit be on such a utopia and do your points carry over ?
Procreation, except for the shirt-lifter and fishy finger brigades.
On average, when a city doubles in size, the inhabitants are 15% better off.
Yes, but who will do the work? ‘Libertarians’ are usually to be found among the parasitic section of society, including bankers and academics, and not among people whose labour actually produces something. So, who will do the productive work?
The fucking robots.
Jude law in IA?
shite: AI … I must have watched it french or summit.
What is zis IA ?
I piss on it.
Does not matter. Shit film either way.
No, “robots will do everything” is the Venus Project. That’s a completely different kettle of fish.
Oi, fuck off
2:15 CSC is more daft than the normal comment.
You’re typing on the product of the collaboration between constructive credit and applied science.
In your little dream world food, clothing, power just produces itself. In the real world, people have to work producing those things. They’re not something a 23 year old MBA can conjure up on a laptop.
Not at all. I just think that your thinking is a little constrained by the if you can’t put a box around it it’s not wealth fallacy.
We’re not talking about ‘wealth’, we’re talking about the real things that we need to survive. Money – which is what you mean by ‘wealth’ – is just a means of exchange. There have to be real goods to exchange – food, clothing and shelter.
I can do all those things.
Obviously they will open the floodgates on immigration?
Oh sorry since there is no votes in it this may be a bit premature.
I know we will advertise for Interns in the Guardian and pay them slave wages until they are approved.
You’re confusing libertarians with New Labour supporters.

That’s Liberia, you pillock. Or Leicester. I forget which.
Its tibia. Or maybe fibula.
or Labia
I’ve bombed Labia a few times!
Thank God for that – it’s silly season at last. No more riots and phone-hacking for at least the next ten minutes.
just dont turn the BBC news channel on then
I just mentioned to Polly Toynbee that I might have prof that News International phone hacking caused people to riot, and that it was Rupert’s insistence that tuition fees go up or he wouldn’t support the Tories and she just came.
Came right there in the office. Gushing like Niagara. She’s still flowing now, 10 minutes later.
Nah! Her juices stopped flowing years ago. Thank fuck for KY jelly, though.
Ode to a McDoomed voyage.
I’ve seen the film and have to say it feels just like Titanic
The captain’s throwing phones again and swearing something manic.
Gordon’s at the helm, you see, and aiming for the floe,
Bad Al’s shouting “starboard, dickhead, that’s the way to go”.
Red Ed squeaks up “no, further left”, but looks a little green
And Mandy says “we’re up shit creek” and sings God Save The Queen.
The Principality of Sealand is a tolerated entity now located within British territorial waters, although claiming ‘grandfather rights’. After the 2006 fire, the RAF Search and Rescue service took one injured person to Ipswich Hospital, and I bet the British taxpayer picked up the cost.
He wants to round up the “libertarians” and send them out to sea on a raft?
What’s the catch?
The reduction in Tax revenues from the country they come from.
Yes we’ll miss all the Ponzi scheme operators who, let’s face it, will be the ones signing up for this.
Yes, sounds like Douglas Adams’ ‘B’ Ark.
“Yes, so anyway,” he resumed, “the idea was that into the first ship, the ‘A’ ship, would go all the brilliant leaders, the scientists, the great artists, you know, all the achievers; and into the third, or ‘C’ ship, would go all the people who did the actual work, who made things and did things, and then into the `B’ ship – that’s us – would go everyone else, the middlemen you see.”
He smiled happily at them.
“And we were sent off first,” he concluded, and hummed a little bathing tune.
Picture if you will a brave new world where a man can go out and never have to worry about being cornered by some crashing bore droning on about how the Fountainhead changed his life.
You may say I’m a dreeeaaamer….
That’s called the BBC.
Although you’ll have to watch your back in the toilets, and listen to a crashing bore droning on about how the Das Kapital* changed his life

“The floating sovereign nations that Thiel imagines would be built on oil-rig-like platforms anchored in areas free of regulation, laws, and moral conventions.”

Failing that i will run a bar or cricket club

Well, Guido, it worked for Sealand and the REM Island off the Dutch coast in the 1960s (a new build artificial island) so with modern techniques, there’s no reason why it wouldn’t work, today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REM_Island

Google is looking to literally offshore it’s data centres. Perhaps deals could be struck between large corporations, wealthy businessmen looking for new tax havens and common libertarians who would like to live and work in such places.
If that came to pass, would not the Libertarians become Librarians?
Can’t be long before somebody sets up the British Library of tweets, e-mails and huge quantities of shredded A4 that will need to be painstakingly pieced together (I thought of it first if are there are any Government grants going).
It is possible i’m buying one of the patents to technology that will help make it happen. Those of you who know of my infamous track winning record on bets on this blog will know TaT always backs a winner.

Man Killed by Plod Taser
http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/16051528
It had to happen, as the Plod become ever more trigger happy with their Taser guns. Rather than a weapon of last resort it is now becoming the weapon of first resort when things become a tad difficult for them.

Were you there ? Do you know the situation that confronted them ? No,do you fuck your just a gobby c unt mouthing off from your armchair.
Shame plod did not taser a lot of scum during the riots, particularly with the setting at lethal and beyond.
He was shot 3 times by the police. They really should not be allowed to carry deadly weapons as a matter of course.

Yes, at first I was happy to be learning how to read. It seemed exciting and magical, but then I read this: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I read every last word of this garbage, and because of this piece of shit, I am never reading again.
Isn’t it great you finally learnt how to read, Barbrady?
- The Chicken-Lover
People actually finish Atlas Shrugged?
I could be the Island whore.
Perhaps you could retrain.
Excellent idea, don’t worry, we won’t stand in your way.
Don’t let the door hit your bum on the way out!

Kinda pathetic Peter Thiel got beat at his own game by Chase Coleman. The lightbulb over his head must have been on a timer
If I can afford it, I will certainly move to a seasteading libertarian “island”, probably not yours though Guido.
Atlas Shrugged is a tedious piece of badly written shite.
And it’s a novel.
If you want somewhere decent to live, make England a decent place to live.
Ayn Rand = complete fraud and ideas recycler and sadist. Tory love for her is tragic and revolting given her obsession with sick killer Edward Hickman. I love the Marquis de Sade for his monetary policy.
This is the B Ark, presumably.
