“You don’t have to be the smartest one in that room, but knowing how to find those people and work with them creates success.”

Thank you for that, miss! You could have been our best recruit. Rest in peace.
We will continue ending the pissing contest, looking for the smarts on LinkedIn.
In a few days, 35 years ago, the Tian An Men Square massacre occurred.
Now China is entering a pissing contest and tries lecturing America over climate change notably.
Russia is entering a pissing contest with the “West” and NATO over Ukraine.
In a few days, 80 years ago, thousands of young Americans gave their life for freedom on the Normandy beaches. In their memory, and in memory of those who died in Tian An Men Square and around, America can win again and deserve to win, but listen:
The pissing contest mentality is not gonna help.
Not anymore.
Now, America needs to find the smarts in countries that have a large young population and a lot of manpower. Namely, India, African countries, and South American countries. Those people are already risking their lives knowingly trying to settle in the U.S. or Europe. Sadly, we are not prepared to welcome them in mass numbers. The real estate bubble renders this impossible. Climate disruption forbids us to repurpose natural spaces into real estate. The seasteading is, therefore, inevitable. However, seasteading is quite a concern about safety at sea. We at Seaquatoria have a solution. Thanks to Lebanese engineer Sumer Daou and his father, we have a sea-worthy, tested, validated design of a modular floating island, certified by Bureau Veritas, among others. The prototype needs to be rebuilt and tested on the most strategic part of the world: the equator line between African coasts and South American coast of French Guyana. The Equator never suffers cyclones. That calmness makes it one of the safest places on earth to navigate and test floating islands. The Equator also benefits from the Coriolis effect, which makes space exploration affordable. Lastly, the Equator never experiences winters. Crops can grow all year long. You see the point. The goal of Seaquatoria is to test first, then develop a network of floating cities and farms on the Equator line between Africa and South America and shelter anyone willing.
Those floating cities and farms will start a new golden age, on a seasteading-based economy, that will ultimately attract the smarts, the young, the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of this world’s teeming shore…thus fulfilling Lady Liberty’s promises.
Then only will the Communist Party of China and its lackey Vladimir Putin back off for good. The Continental Union will provide to the continental mass what the European Union once provided between France and Germany: lasting peace and prosperity.
We have a debt to Russians and Chinese people. They have provided us with cheap goods and commodities for the last thirty years at the expense of their basic human rights, dignity, and political freedom. We owe them freedom. WE OWE.
We will become prosperous enough to support the widow of Mr. Navalny in her quest to defeat Putin. But that is another story. We at Seaquatoria International must focus on the successful inaugural crossing of the Atlantic on the equatorial line aboard a floating island. This success will open the way to a smarter, greener, safer world. On Sunday, the second of June 2024, we proclaim the foundation of Seaquatoria International.
