I know many members here discussed about starting an entheogenic community. But all the plans here were to start a community on land thus we could have been prosecuted by the law of the land. I found the following article quite intriguing and thought I'd share. Paradise?Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. - Bokonon
To fathom Hell or soar angelic, just take a pinch of psychedelic. - Humphry Osmond in a poetic exchange with Aldous Huxley

It's full of potential, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things progress. "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind" - Albert Einstein
"The Mighty One appears, the horizon shines. Atum appears on the smell of his censing, the Sunshine- god has risen in the sky, the Mansion of the pyramidion is in joy and all its inmates are assembled, a voice calls out within the shrine, shouting reverberates around the Netherworld." - Egyptian Book of the Dead
"Man fears time, but time fears the Pyramids" - 9th century Arab proverb

I'm a devoted anti-capitalist so I'm very sceptical about this idea. Still... I'm very interested in how it turns out. I would be more then happy to be wrong but I doubt that it would turn out to be a just and free society. Capitalism just doesn't work that way. Still, it will be interesting and I see no harm from this project to the global community. I would rather see an anarcho-communist experiment but those people are not those that have 2.000.000 U$D secured for building a highly advanced city on the sea.
I'm highly sceptical but I'm looking forward into this. Keep us updated!

Yeah, the capitalism thing kinda rubbed me the wrong way too, but it sounds like it's capitalism with a fresh start so who knows  "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind" - Albert Einstein

Quote:"I envision tens of millions of people in an Apple or a Google country," where the high-tech giants would govern and residents would have no vote. "If people are allowed to opt in or out, you can have a successful dictatorship," the goateed Friedman says, wiggling his toes in pink Vibram slippers. I don't like the sound of that! Why are they trying to say its like Burning Man? Isn't Burning Man based on a "gift economy" not on some free market capitalistic Ayn Rand bullshit? Its the MeICNU
