A 400-pg photographic odyssey through America by the brilliant @AlexKittoe. From mountain to mountain, coast to coast, and from the biggest cities to the sleepiest towns, it's a big book for a big continent.

“I don’t think there’s anything immoral about leaving. You didn’t promise that you were going to stay until you were dead and help America when you were born here. You were just born here. You’re not morally inclined to stay in a failing system. That would be fucking retarded.”

For Arena 008: At Sea, @carsonjbecker sits down with @patrissimo, founder of the @Seasteading Institute and the world's first charter-city venture fund @PronomosVC to talk tax havens, competitive governance, and the limits of the nation state. Read it at @arenamagdotcom

Legacy systems are failing, argues Patri Friedman. Neither the welfare state, democracy, nor traditional currency are sustainable forever.
The answer is competitive governance: entrepreneurial legal and regulatory systems, like charter cities, built in parallel to existing national ones.
Read @patrissimo's views on Seasteading, special jurisdictions, and the weaknesses of legacy institutions from issue 008 of @arenamagdotcom:

The playbook for rebuilding American shipbuilding already exists. We just have to look at the past and understand what it means for the future.
In 2024, one Chinese company built more commercial vessels by tonnage than the US has produced since the end of World War II. The US accounts for 0.1% of the global commercial shipbuilding market. China accounts for 53%.
American shipyards are graveyards. But they don't have to be. Read @kwharrison13 for Arena 008: At Sea online or in print today 🚢

"What think you of an American Fleet," John Adams asked James Warren, paymaster of the American forces at Watertown. “A public Fleet as well as privateers,” he wrote, “might make prey enough of the Trade of our Enemies to make it worthwhile.”
250 years ago, the American colonies fought the British navy via the private sector — privateers.
Congress hasn't invoked the marque and reprisal clause since the War of 1812. Now, as we celebrate America's 250th birthday, it's time. @Maxmeizlish for Arena 008: At Sea.
