Special Economic Zones are marketed as “sandboxes for reform”. Lotta Moberg says that’s often the wrong story. In this episode we talk incentives, why failing zones can get more funding, and why free cities like Próspera might be a different category entirely. image WATCH: https://fountain.fm/episode/kTVFzEz5YL0pMjWf6DPi

An exit tax is a government admission of failure: they couldn’t make the place attractive, so they make leaving expensive. Tim Stern is on the podcast this week. We talk incentives, capital flight, and why places like Margarita Island become magnets.

Seasteading only scales if it exports something the world wants. Mitchell Suchner (ArkPad) makes the case for “economics first” and lays out an incremental path: aquaculture as early cashflow, tourism as a demand engine, and later ocean industries (mineral extraction from seawater, offshore data infrastructure, autonomous logistics). We also get into stability/storm design and the governance implications of flags and jurisdiction at sea. Listen: https://fountain.fm/episode/6NPTpzR5jaNlv4fmknjg

AI won’t inevitably create tyrants. It’s just as likely to erase ignorance, making the quietly prepared too expensive to control.
