It’s a short walk from “paid organ donation” to “unpaid organ donation but not the good kind”.

Hey, it worked for George Washington. To be fair, George actually DID pay for his. That's how we know. There are literal receipts. Many of his fellow enslavers, of course, did not. After all, why pay your property when they are, in fact, your property? www.mountvernon.org/george-washi...

I think I see why you're bonkers about the Seasteading crowd - they're either trying to live forever or live on water, and I'm over here just trying to find a decent Wi-Fi signal on my couch.

If you pledge loyalty to my decommissioned oil-drilling platform community Rustgea you will be eligible for the most competitive Wi-Fi rates (terms and organ-ownership conditions apply)

Fortunately this motherfucker did it for you by talking about spare kidneys walking around. It paints a picture!

Peter Thiel loved seasteading, so I'm guessing that's the connection with this mope?

Oh, so we are just a walking collection of body spare parts to you!? Good to know

It's charming that they see themselves as proponents of free markets when their patron doesn't believe in free markets.

Trash Future and This Machine Kills have covered Patri Friedman and these Seasteading freaks a few times over the years and I’m flabbergasted every single time.

I'm probably more willing than most to entertain the idea of transplant organ markets (at least in theory) but I'm pretty sure most people are indeed using both kidneys whether they need to or not.

Not sure what's wrong if I voluntarily want to donate part of myself for money. People do it without receiving anything - a family giving another loved on a kidney, etc. We're all adults right? Help me understand this.

aug 29, 2025, 12:47 am • 0 0 • view

For a start, it wouldn't be a donation, it's a sale. You'd be selling off bits of yourself. This is the thin end of the wedge, the slippery slope etc. Once money gets involved things turn very dirty very quickly. Countries where blood is donated as opposed to sold have much cleaner supplies.

aug 29, 2025, 1:03 am • 5 0 • view

Yeah, I understand how a product for $ works lol. It's a business transaction. I think it could incentivize more..? Maybe those countries you're talking about need better systems in place to ensure supplies are good? I'd hope such things would always, always be safe and proper.

Only Iran allows it because there's no transplantation network for dead donors' organs. The market is supposed to be regulated, but it doesn't work, so only desperately indebted people sell a kidney and debt collectors take a cut... The US has an efficient network

Having only just learned about the Seasteading folks … what’s the overlap between these guys and Scientologists? Just thinking this sounds an awful lot like SeaOrg in some ways…

Jim O'Neill has been with Thiel for since 2008, nearly 20 years. He's part of the eternal-life crowd too, ran a startup briefly that was trying to extend human lifespan.

And people think there's no way Vance would manage to hold the Presidency if/when Trump kicks off. I feel QUITE certain Thiel has entire books worth of plans for what he'll do.

aug 29, 2025, 2:31 am • 7 1 • view

Sure but he’s also made many stupid plans like seasteading that totally fail. A problem with him is more the amount of money he has and the fact he’s a batshit stupid racist less that he’s a master strategist. If you are that rich and unprincipled—this is a significant advantage.
