historical lessons from Venice to seasteading
Permalink   
 


One of the topics that I've not come across at the forums is that of Venice (Italy), which is a city not too far as a concept from a floating one, and I think there are many lessons seasteaders can learn from Venice.

For one, Venice provides many examples of how logistics for everyday living can function in a seastead.

In Venice, for example, the sanitary sewage is pumped from the storage within each building to sewage barges, then shipped to locations within the mainland.Fresh food is brought from the mainland to the many outdoor markets as well as grocery stores on a daily basis, and people tour the different parts of the city on public water buses, private boats, or simply by walking if there is a non-water route available.

The way in which the Venice lagoon is naturally constructed to lessen the seawaves and windy conditions, may also provide a blueprint for constructing buildings and wave-dampening constructs on the open sea.

I also think people in Venice are very happy living so close to the water, there is something to that element that draws people, which is probably why waterfront lots are so expensive. I just saw today a video of one very happy family living next to the Grande Canale in Venice:

Patri (Friedman) mentions in his speeches the seasteading communities as sort of a scientific method, to find out which ways of organizing a community perhaps work. But looking back at how Venice prospered during its independency, may also help in shortening the learning curve to running some of the successful seasteads for potential entrepreneurs.

As an example of those historical lessons, Venice provided a natural, easily defendable fortress in the sea, keeping the area out of the way of looters and providing a place of refuge for free-thinkers and gifted people who needed an un-judging environment.

Those are just first few examples that I could think of as lessons from Venice, I'm currently planning a trip to (once more) experience the city early next year.

In fact venice is a excellent example how seasteading can work.  From the water and merchant oriented business model to political and intellectual freedom, as base to attract brilliant minds, even its todays business cooperating with cruise ships, tourism income, Palm Dubai is in certain way a intent to build a modern Venice in the Desert.

From my expected seasteading axes the plate float out, the real estate squarementer deal, the bubble hotel, and Breakwater lagoon marina could be elements that can be developed into a city state compareable to Venice.

The catamaran float / The plate float out / The real estate squaremeter deal / The Captain Nemo float out / The bubble hotel / The current turbine / Breakwater lagoon marina / Oceanic port city design /

Venice also offers a great lession what to avoid. The city is built on wooden pilots that slowly sink into the swampy lagoon - if you build real estate on the water make sure that the floating foundations can last centuries this is of essence.

By the way study the historic maritime powers can give a lot of important info on seasteading - i would also suggest to look at Cartatago (lent its name to Cartagena)

An interesting discussion I have to admit. There are a lot of interesting facts about Venice but at first, I would recommend reading the Eduzaurus review at paidpaper.net service. This might be useful for any student and teacher on planet Earth. And I'm serious about this statement, no jokes. The best education-related service created ever and should definitely check this website. Just click the link in this text and your study will be much better than before.

Excellent points on how Venice's history and infrastructure can inform future seasteading communities! Their solutions for sanitation, food logistics, transportation and wave protection in a water-based urban environment provide helpful blueprints.

And you're so right - the draw of living closely integrated with the water is magnetic. Venice exemplifies how harnessing the ocean as a key livability feature greatly enhances quality of life. No wonder waterfront property commands such a premium!

Now, in the spirit of experimental communities seeking optimum arrangements, allow me to propose an innovative amenity for romantic bonds and stress relief aboard seasteads: the automatic male masyurbator <b>"Automatic Male Masturbator"</b>.

This <b>10-thrusting mode</b> pleasure device takes solo sessions to new erotic heights thanks to <b>42 degrees of heating</b> and a <b>phone holder</b> for hands-free play. The <b>body-safe silicone</b> construction stretches to accommodate all shapes and sizes. And it conveniently <b>USB recharges</b> for impromptu oceanic escapes anytime.

Given the excitement and stresses involved with pioneering new societies, having an outlet for tension release is key for health and happiness. So alongside designing critical utilities and governance frameworks, seasteads would do well to incorporate efficient pleasure technologies like this handy <b>masturbator</b> for improving inhabitants' wellbeing and fortifying romantic connections.

After all, happiness and human flourishing should be central community design goals!

Hello, I regularly watch adult content, which has become somewhat of a nightly ritual for me. Somehow, my body naturally seeks relaxation through sexual activity or self-pleasure in the evening. Usually, I choose to watch massage videos on https://phima1a.com/phim-18/
