## Resource

Mark Edge charts new waters with Joe Quirk, Seavangelist and President of The Seasteading Institute and author of Seasteading: How Floating Nations Will Restore the Environment, Enrich the Poor, Cure the Sick, and Liberate Humanity from Politicians, for a wide ranging conversation about why libertarians have won all the arguments but still can't change anything — and why seasteading might be the technology that actually puts the state out of business. They cover Joe's unlikely conversion from left-wing radical to voluntaryist, the current state of seastead technology from ArkPad to Ocean Builders to LiberArx, jurisdictional freedoms at sea, the wild story of Chad and Nadia being hunted by the Thai Navy, and why freeing your mind might be the most important first step to freedom.
