They’ve been pumping this bio-hacking startup on the Orange Site ™ for the past few months. Now they’ve got Siskind shilling for them.

    Phase 1: (January 2024) Sell to biohackers in Prospera for $20,000.

    Huh? oh. This prospera. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/prospectus-on-prospera

    Does anyone have any updates on wtf is even going on there? Is it actually the libertarian utopia that I was promised? Or is it just a place for people with nice comfy remote jobs to exploit cheap Honduran labor to live large.

      you have guessed correctly. Honduras is trying to kick out all the libertarian charter cities, but Prospera has Thiel backing and is clinging on for dear life.

        @dgerard Thiel and Andreessen. I love the way that as soon as the Hondurans started saying mean things these proud libertarians went crying straight to the US State Department.
