    Ep. 87: Terence Kealey - Decentralized Science, Neo-Medieval Universities & Longevity Moonshots

    Terence is a British biochemist who was Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham, Adjunct Scholar at the Cato Institute, and the author of numerous books. Terence is well-known for his case against government funding of science, which made him an influence in the decentralized science movement. We’ll talk about his views on the economics of science and the myth of scientific objectivity. Importantly, we’ll talk about something that Terence has never talked about in public. A new project that aims to do it better. This new project will take place within the next Infinita Forever Pop-Up City—a new school and research center on the island of Roatan, with a neo-medieval form of governance.

    Ep. 85: Brian Armstrong On Accelerating Civilizational Progress Through Crypto And Longevity

    Brian is the Co-founder and CEO of Coinbase; he began his journey studying computer science and economics. Back early in his career, after a trip to Argentina and seeing hyperinflation, he was inspired by Bitcoin’s potential to update the financial system and increase economic freedom in the world. He started Coinbase in 2012, and by 2021, it had become a public company worth $50B by 2024. Post-IPO, he started thinking about longevity; he started organizing biotech dinners to explore innovative ideas. And this led him to found NewLimit, a company focused on epigenetic reprogramming to combat aging, utilizing machine learning to discover potential treatments. In this Fireside Chat, Brian discusses his vision for crypto and longevity with Niklas Anzinger, Vitalia's CEO, and Erick Brimen, Próspera's CEO.  The conversation happened in the special economic zone of Próspera on the island of Roatán in Honduras. With a common law-based, pro-liberty legal system that is probably the most crypto-friendly in the world. In this special zone, Vitalia has started to build a community of longevity enthusiasts, crypto natives and biotech founders - taking advantage of expedited clinical trials and medical reciprocity laws that allow access to treatments approved in 30+ countries. Crypto Cities In The Real World Brian and the team of Coinbase Ventures visited Próspera and Vitalia to explore the possibilities for real-world crypto adoption, and how it can solve humanities’ biggest challenges. There are several existing uses and enormous opportunities for crypto to build real cities. That is why, we're excited to introduce – Crypto Cities Builders' Program (Oct 19 - Nov 19) We’re inviting crypto/web3 builders & founders to join us in Vitalia’s Roatán Hub, to build real solutions or accelerate your existing startups & projects. → https://vitalia.city/cryptocitybuilders More about Brian's work: * https://www.brianarmstrong.org/ * https://www.coinbase.com/ * https://www.newlimit.com/ This is a public episode.

    Ep. 84: Joe Lonsdale On How To Fix Broken Institutions

    In this conversation, we're discussing with Joe Lonsdale the potential for building new cities and network states to improve governance in countries with broken institutions. Joe Lonsdale is a technology entrepreneur and investor. He is the managing partner at 8VC, a multi-billion dollar firm in the US. Previously he co-founded Palantir. Agencies and institutions are broken.  The SEC on the fight with crypto, the FDA on the battle to bring needed drugs to market, and the FTC on not allowing companies to be acquired and merged to grow into something bigger.  Joe encourages entrepreneurs to identify the biggest gaps in areas hindered by regulatory constraints, such as transportation, infrastructure, immigration, or biotech, and aggressively pursue solutions. Successful examples abroad can inspire change in the US. Like what's happening in Vitalia City within the Próspera special economic zone in Honduras, this approach can demonstrate effective solutions, encouraging the U.S. to adopt these innovations and improve its systems. "Building a great city-state would help the US, just as Singapore helps China a lot. We can have another Hong Kong or Singapore of the Americas."

    Ep. 83: Bradley Tusk – The Uber Story, Applying Political Leverage, and Practical Advice For Entrepreneurs On How To Overcome Regulatory Roadblocks

    Bradley Tusk is a cofounder of Tusk Venture Partners, which invests in early-stage technology companies operating in highly regulated industries. Bradley was also Uber's first political advisor and instrumental in developing their strategy to disrupt the incumbent taxi monopolies. This is one of the most fascinating stories in the recent history of regulatory hacking. In this episode, we're demystifying political misconceptions and looking into practical advice for entrepreneurs on navigating regulatory roadblocks and changing them for their benefit. Key Takeaways: * Every policy output is the result of political input. Every politician makes every decision solely based on reelection and nothing else. * The vast majority of companies are regulated in some way. Rather than avoid dealing with regulations, run with the mindset that you'll figure it out.  * To hack the regulatory system, you need to take into consideration that: * 1) The level of government really matters—focus on doing things on a local or state level rather than a federal level; * 2) Get your customers to advocate for you More about Bradley's work: * bradleytusk.com * Tusk Venture Partners * Podcast – Firewall * Book – The Fixer: My Adventures Saving Startups from Death by Politics This is a public episode.

    Ep. 82: Alex Tabarrok Interviews Próspera CEO, Erick Brimen, on Crafting A Regulatory Platform to Unlock Entrepreneurship

    What if you could choose the set of laws under which your company is regulated? Honduran reformers have developed a model to facilitate collaboration between foreign capital and local institutions in Honduras, leveraging external resources and expertise to develop an alternative to the levels of instability, crime, and corruption that prevailing institutions have been unable to address sufficiently. But how do you encourage foreign investment in a country with this high-risk level? That's where Próspera's framework comes into play. It protects property rights effectively and gives entrepreneurs flexibility over how they’re regulated. No "one size fits all" law exists for all industries and businesses, so this flexibility is crucial, especially in industries like medicine, where regulatory approvals and licensing requirements vary widely between countries and pose significant barriers to entry. This system allows products approved in one country, practitioners licensed in another, and innovative procedures from yet another to have an easier path to acceptance within Próspera's framework, fostering rapid business and technology development. Moreover, Próspera aims to redefine standards of constitutional governance. It integrates best practices of common law from centuries past with novel elements like regulatory elections, medical reciprocity, 3D property rights, and air rights resolution mechanisms. This comprehensive approach is a step toward advancing governance for the 21st century and beyond.  If you're an entrepreneur interested in taking advantage of this regulatory framework for your business, please fill out this form!

    Ep. 81: Vitalik Buterin on the Crypto-Longevity Nexus, Network States & Pop-Up Cities

    In this conversation, we're discussing with Vitalik the connection between longevity and Ethereum, what he's looking to build, frontier technologies, and how pop-up or startup cities can supercharge the longevity movement. In the early days, when crypto started as a new frontier technology and experienced a Cambrian Explosion—rapid and transformative development and growth—How can the longevity movement experience something similar as it emerges? This discussion highlights potential similar obstacles, key distinctions, and pivotal moments for longevity to experience a burst of innovation compared to crypto potentially. The lessons from the crypto space offer valuable guidance for longevity researchers and enthusiasts alike. By fostering a culture of innovation, patience, and practical application, the journey towards unlocking the full potential of longevity technologies can be accelerated, bringing us closer to a future where age may no longer limit human potential.
