"Yes Theory" from #YouTube visits #Prospera for a two days, a special economic zone / free private city in #Honduras, making a 40 minute mini doc where they show some facilities in Prospera and talked with the mayor, entrepreneurs, workers of the city and locals:
A #longread but definitely worth it
"The fact that their profits are predicated on planetary devastation helps explain why do-gooder discourse among the powerful is giving way to open expressions of disdain for the idea that we owe each other anything by right of our shared humanity."

‘Startup Nation’ Groups Say They’re Meeting Trump Officials to Push for #Deregulated ‘Freedom Cities’
"#Minicircle’s gene #therapy clinical trial on the protein follistatin — which he claims increases muscle mass without side effects, and also has life-extending benefits in mice — was only possible in #Próspera...companies benefiting from #FreedomCities..."

#ProgressIreland, backed by (notional) billionaire Collison brothers (Stripe Inc), sounds disturbingly like the #deregulatory #neoliberal #billionaire #lobby group #StartupNation / #Próspera.
https://progressireland.org/ - a veneer of "housing, infrastructure and innovation"
https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/collison-brothers-back-new-think-tank-to-tackle-irelands-housing-crisis/a165304850.html - a couple of billionaires tell us nobody wants "the red tape & ecological paperwork that prevent housing, energy infrastructure, transit & other important works" (or maintain standards & protect us).
Tech-Milliardäre werben bei #Trump für unregulierte #Freedom-Cities
Was ausgelagert schon existiert, soll nun auch innerhalb der Grenzen der #USA entstehen.
"Städten #ohne #Demokratie"
Peter #Thiel finanzierte mit seinem Partner Marc #Andreesen die #Startup-Nation #Próspera maßgeblich mit.

one of the goals of #tRumpism is to prevent individuals from suing #bigcorp. but in their fight to establish their #feudal governments they are suing.
"...[t]hese crypto coiners have found themselves at the centre of political intrigue and have had to resort to suing Honduras through the investor-state dispute settlement, a little-known but central component of global capitalism’s neoliberal bureaucracy. "...

‘Startup Nation’ Groups Say They’re Meeting #Trump Officials to Push for Deregulated ‘Freedom Cities’
The architects of projects like #Próspera are drafting legislation to create US cities that would be free from federal regulations.

Trump wants to buy #Greenland so his Nerd Reich buddies can launch one of their "Network State" #libertarian utopia / hellhole #cryptocurrency cities on it.
"The Network State" is a nonsense idea from #Balaji, #PeterThiel, #MarcAndreessen, and a bunch of other #crypto creeps of a series of offshore cities where there are no poor people (other than the servants) and no pesky laws (especially laws against things like #moneylaundering).
see also: #Prospera in #Honduras and a few others that already are out there and are definitely not deeply resented by the native populations and/or trying to bankrupt the countries they're located in.

Is there a word for when sci-fi collides with real life? Because I'm reading the last book of the MaddAdam trilogy by Margaret Atwood when I became aware of (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/28/magazine/prospera-honduras-crypto.html) Prospera Honduras (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pr%C3%B3spera). A corporate city state where people go for non FDA approved treatments?!
Pigoons folks. This is how you end up with pigoons.
The For-Profit City That Might Come Crashing Down
The dream of Próspera, founded by a US corporation off the coast of Honduras, was to escape government control
The Honduran government wants it gone

So now you understand the Crypto Bros love of Zionism.
That genocide is about Real Estate, the next land grab from the Oligarchs will use the same tactics.
Lol, I'm all for rich idiots being experimented on, even better that they pay for the privilege!
"Próspera is a private, for-profit city, with its own government that courts foreign investors through low taxes and light regulation. Businesses can choose a regulatory framework from a menu of 36 countries or customize their own."
"The week of my visit, Patri Friedman, grandson of the economist Milton Friedman and the founder of a start-up-cities fund that invested in Próspera, had a chip with his Tesla key implanted into his hand. On a previous trip he brushed his teeth with genetically modified bacteria purported to prevent cavities. Another time he was injected with a protein booster intended to make him 'stronger and faster,' as he put it at a conference in Roatán that weekend."
"Critics have described it as a neocolonial state within a state, or an example of corporate monarchy, where yacht-owning C.E.O.s exploit land and labor in a poor country."

@ct_bergstrom This is not about losing one's mind, but about gaining control, and about implementing exactly what has been proposed.
Erecting de-facto democracy-free zones has been on the billionaire agenda for more than a decade, and flexibly called "going to #Mars", "#CharterCities", "#ModelCities"; or implemented in #Cayalá; cast into #ZEDE laws used against the very country they're in, like w/ #Próspera that asks the #US (!) to "encourage" (!) #Honduras to "respect its legal commitments".
End of the line for corporate sovereignty https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/27/korporate-kangaroo-kourts/#corporate-sovereignty
The modern ISDS was perfected in the 1990s with the Energy Charter Treaty. The ECT was meant to foam the runway for western corporations seeking to take over ex-Soviet energy facilities, by making those new post-Glasnost governments promise to never pass laws that would undermine foreign companies' profits.
