- What kind of society are you interested in living in?
- <p> I'm interested in living in a place that recognizes that human rights do not exist without the western notion of private property and the right to protect it. After all, if you don't own yourself you have no rights. The American experiment has come close but the fact that we're here considering this (seasteading) concept shows that we've left a couple of loopholes.</p><p>A society with a constitution with a virtual copy of the U.S. version, slightly tweaked, with a concordance so that one could unambiguously understand what the meaning of "is" is, or define exactly what the definition and function of a militia is as opposed to an established military.</p><p>As libertarians will tend to fight over the number of angels, or whores for that matter, on the head of a pin, a convention would need to be held just like we did it before. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are good enough for me, let's do it again based on property, and the defense of it. Defense then becomes the issue for the second convention. And on and on.....</p>
