"Cooler than a Cybertruck. Uber at sea." Joe Quirk's plan for the Free Cities Conference 2027 in Prague: arrive on a solar-powered Atlas yacht, dock a five-minute walk from the conference hall and spend zero on planes, taxis and hotels.

A pharmaceutical company spends a billion dollars to bring one drug to market. Most of that is finding out which path fails. Joe Quirk at the Free Cities Conference 2026: a biochemist and a patent lawyer from a leading US pharma company asked him for a seastead 12 miles offshore. Run the lab at sea, find the path that works, then go through the full US approval process by the book, already knowing the answer. Their estimate: 100 million dollars saved per drug. Whispered in a rented-out restaurant, because nobody wants to be seen asking. Regulatory arbitrage or common sense?

Can you privately own a river? A lake? The ocean? 🌊 Economist Dr. Walter Block tackles these questions in his book Water Capitalism. I interviewed him for the Seasteading Today podcast — a great listen whether you're an econ nerd or brand new to it. seasteading.org/dr-walter-bl…
