And then one of the events was there, and then I got – paired up with the sea land guys like the princess that's awesome man that's awesome yeah yeah yeah it's like me and like the two princes uh and they're chill guys they're they're actually very chill

One bit of news, so not to confuse Sealand with the Seasteading Institute or Seasteading Projects, which is maybe more, certainly a number of new recent ideas of trying to achieve, launch some governance of some kind out at sea, and it maybe gets some semi-autonomy.

It's that the Seasteading Institute announced that one of their projects outside the country, I think it's physically based outside the country of Panama.

They actually got a flag approved by the Panamanian government, which means they can, out at sea, they have recognized that under international law, This seastead is governed by the laws of Panama.

And basically, you don't want to be stateless at sea because that opens up the possibility of maybe the US Navy accusing you of running a drug ship or something.

The basic idea of seasteading is that you could escape from democratic governments, laws, and regulations by establishing your own territory out in the middle of the ocean.

And there was an idea funded by Peter Thiel back in the late 2000s, early 2010s to establish the Seasteading Institute, which would start creating these projects around the world.

However, the idea didn't really pan out because nobody really wants to live out in a rusted oil barge in the middle of the ocean or on a ship.

Yeah.

I- and I know you have a lot of partnerships going on with other projects.

Uh, one special thing I think is very interesting, the Seasteading Institute that is aiming on building pueblos, uh, little cities on the water.

Um, pretty fascinating.

So, uh, okay, this is on the ocean.
