057 - Joe Quirk: Seasteading, Evolutionary Psychology & The Surveillance State

Seasteading, Flotels, Aquapreneurs, Evolutionary Psychology, Climate Change, Burning Man, Surveillance State, Distributed Problem Solving, Underwater Hotels. Timothy Allen talks with Joe Quirk. I really enjoy my conversations with Joe. The first time I met him was at our conference two years ago when I interviewed him for a film and it was instantly obvious that he is a great orator and overall extremely interesting guy. This is a light hearted conversation about Seasteading. Joe is the president of the Seasteading Institute and extremely knowledgeable on the subject. I mean, from who else could I learn exciting new words such as flotel, coralcrete, aquapreneurs and seavilisation? If you listen to this podcast regularly, you’ll know how much I love new words. However, this conversation is also about the human condition and how best to use our innate ingenuity to stay as free as we can as individuals. I really enjoyed this discourse and in particular, Joe’s takes on the world. He makes fascinating observations about this particular moment in history and I sincerely hope that they can help you understand your own path forward. I wish you all a very wonderful Christmas if that’s something you are choosing to celebrate in the coming days. Enjoy the conversation.
