The Antarctic Settlement Project: Settle a greening Antarctica

How do you prevent TPTB from collecting taxes?

i could sort of see it working..
would be cool if it did happen

Why freeze your ass off?.. Buy an Island ..near enough to get supplies.. now make your colony...

That costs millions, and you are still subject to 3rd world pirate governments and their laws.

There is a whole unexplored CONTINENT. Parts of it are UNCLAIMED.
Show me another region on the planet like that?

I for one am interested in being one of the first settlers.

Would there be leadership? If so...how would it be structured?

greening? so once the temperature goes up by 50C, some plants might grow???

Awesome idea. Ile be keen to help ^.^

Plus even trying this is a great way to destroy the broken paradigms and systems that are forced upon us. No money I like. 3D Printers. Free energy. Anti gravity unsuppressed in such a way that trumps TPTB.

However I do feel they would attempt a co-op of anything serious or derail it somehow. Hopefully that would just assist in their exposure faster.

Your ideas are interesting, can you please tell us about the claims on antarctica, and also if there are claims pending and by whom and how legally binding the claims are and most importantly what the inner earth civilisation thinks of any claims?

Care to explain little details about the new form of exchange?
Even when one is not doing anything, the person burns lot of kilo calories. Who will pay people for not doing anything?

Don't you think this is going to be open to abuse somehow?

LMAO, It's so funny because I see the seriousness in your comment lol!

humans need sunlight. any humanoid that prefers to be disconnected of their local star, is very strange, to say the least.

why do you care about existant governments, if you are able to build technology that is far beyond most governments' reach?

your personal transport to the antarctic, by conventional means, would cost at least five times that...


op, i assume you do realise what such an endeavour would cost, in monetary terms, if one needs to set up such colony with available means. i also assume you realise what it could cost with the technology you either purport or actually have in reach.

why choose for traditional techniques in building the colony? it's not a clever road to success, when other paths are available to you...


another thing: the whole logistics of antarctica is done by Raytheon (has been for half a century). they have the neatest and latest of 'conventional' military technology to play with, and virtually unlimited resources. if the need should arrive, how would you defend against intrusions by them?

Your utopia

Your utopia would be surveilanced regularly by tptb drones satelites etc would you be happy with that? Also please reply about the claims cheers

What do you mean by under the ice

ohello Shadrach

Also why has nobody laid claim to the ' unclaimed areas

Awesome idea op.

Since it seems like you're still in the thought-experiment stage, maybe you should start a website to centralize discussion?

Regarding energy production, tesla already solved that issue. Get a cable strung between two high points / cable raised on a weather balloon and you're halfway there.

The antarctic treaty wiki says

What the treaty does affect are new claims:

No activities occurring after 1961 can be the basis of a territorial claim. No new claim can be made. No claim can be enlarged.

I think this basically says noone shall add a colony where they feel like it, although the treaty sounds a little hmmm is the word ambiguous?

If no one can claim, no one can counter claim.

Why try to appease the status quo? If enough people go and start a settlement that works, more will follow and there would be no need for claiming. It would simply be.

No?

How do you prevent tptb from sending in a strike team to kill everyone?


For unknown reasons, satellite pictures of most of Antarctica is censored and unavailable. It's probably a pretty important place and tptb would probably prevent people from going there.

good points
