Send to email | Rich Nerds Want To Build A Utopian City In The Ocean And...Wait A Minute... [Traces Of Nuts] in BioshockCultureNewsTraces of Nuts | By Luke Plunkett el 20-May-2008 |
We all know what happened to Rapture. Nutty smart folks thought they could build a utopian world under the ocean, they couldn't, whole thing went to the dogs, everybody died. We all learned a lesson. A lesson lost on three super-rich SIlicon Valley types (including the founder of PayPal), who have founded the the Seasteading Institute, with the goal of moving out into the ocean and creating a world "with diverse social, political, and legal systems". While their buildings won't be built under the waves (they'll be built atop them, on floating platforms), the basic principle remains: they're going to get smug, they're going to mess with things they shouldn't mess with, everybody is going to die.

| That's rich!: Less than 1/1000 are rich, according to McCain | | When they were asked how much you have to earn to be rich, the presidential candidates differed wildly:
Obama didn't hesitate. "I would argue that if you are making more than $250,000, then you are in the top 3, 4 percent of this country," he said. "You are doing well."
McCain took a far more discursive approach to answering the question but ultimately settled on a dra [..] Read complete article | ![Subscribe to Rich Nerds Want To Build A Utopian City In The Ocean And...Wait A Minute...
