The seasteading guys are the libertarians who want to live on boats to avoide taxes and age of consent laws?

Correct
they don't believe in the value of society, perfect for the leader of the CDC
Then how'd he end up at Charlie Kirk's barber?
Do you think those homophobes would let a star hair stylist near them?
Yes
Wow, this guy is really a dumb dumb.
Total BS. Only one more way to funnel our hard earned $ to the oligarchs.
Isn’t this weird dude also behind a lot of Theil and the tech bros libertarian ‘Freedom Cities’ around the world. That use the existing public garbage, electricity and transportation services but pay no taxes 🤣
I think ivermectin is passed through the liver, but I don’t know about bleach. Better fact check before making assumptions about healthy anything walking around
New acting director of CDC Jim O'Neill expressed being pro paid organ donation. "There are plenty of healthy spare kidneys walking around, unused."

Dear lord
Must be pals with Milton Friedman's grandson.
didn't that one made up city in the sea sink or was fighting with the nearby country or something, it was called libertaria or something stupid
There have been several attempts, all of them have failed because the concept is; A) based on faulty assumptions (and extremely flawed "understandings") B) fundamentally divorced from reality C) just plain stupid
Nobody builds sewers in Libertarian utopias.
Nobody in these "communities" thinks long enough to realise that such "trivialities" are actually very much necessities.
They are also D) Very funny. Read up on the bitcoin cruise ship, or one of the libertarian towns and their natural predators, bears. Or just look at the seasteading house the guy had to flee because the Thai gov came to arrest him.
Look at the artist impression from this article here: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Vs how the places actually look. www.wsj.com/articles/a-l...
Yeah, I read those stories at the time it was HILARIOUS.
And because they are libertarians it will keep happening.
These are among the many reasons I think these people should go now and live in it.
But they should each donate a kidney before they go. They won't need all those extras.
Fair. So long as they are not allowed to return to "society" when it all collapses I can support this idea.
I like when they describe how these places would function & they wont say it - but they desctibe socialism.
If nothing else, eventually something would happen (weather, attacked, etc) and the libertarians would be demanding help
Yeah, ISTR one of the attempts got raided by pirates ;)
You mean Atlantis?

That's exactly it. That's also the main recruitment hook for this scam. Fortunately, they've never been willing to do the hard work to make their old abandoned drilling platforms into the self-sustaining kingdoms they want them to be.
I suggest we send them to those platforms with nothing but some food and basic tools. If they can eke out sustainable living spaces without exploiting other people, i'm sure that would validate their ideas.
Still screaming inside anyway though. Fucking hell. Evil is real. But we are still gonna win.
Imagine taking the complete wrong lesson from Bioshock.
They will always find a way to recreate the Torment Nexus
This is the first time I've heard about seasteading. I can guarantee you none of its proponents have experienced a hurricane much less can imagine an unimpeded hurricane at sea. No human construction could withstand it. They're drunk on Thiel and Yarvin crazy.
🧐
oh lord
I hate defending seas steading even this tiny amount but most propose using ships or oil platforms (which are technically also ships) that can move out of the way of oncoming storms. Though oil rigs are also built to weather them and do.
The structures might weather them, but humans? Living in precarious conditions glued to weather reports (from where BTW?). Nope.
Oil rigs do survive storms, but aren't meant to support large numbers of people. And the idea of living on essentially a cruise ship is not the same as establishing "new geographic zones." In any case it's completely nuts. Maybe it's one of the attractions of Greenland for these pseudo geniuses.
I believe the SeaSteading experiment was funded in part by Peter Thiel.
I know some of these people. I went to school with them. They are fucking freaks.
I went to grad school with Jim O'Neill. Can confirm the fucking freak aspect.
I overlapped with his mentor. Yikes on bikes.
Dm me!
I would normally be open to a conversation but I have already had unpleasant encounters with the goons in this dude's orbit. If you're a real investigative reporter, you can probably find another way to reach me besides unsecured DMs.
Yeah..
I’m reminded of Homer Simpson’s fantasy of living under the sea. youtu.be/twVvnr7bOw4?...
This is something other than libertarianism. But Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen are also pushing for this, seasteading and self-governing communities outside of traditional jurisdictions (like new cities and city-states in CA and central America).
Musk already has his own community in Texas. The Asian guy with Liberty Crypto has one in Europe. They're buying up land to build cult communes where the people are their slaves.
Yeah its crazy and I don't think enough people know about it. Yesterday I was down in Hawthorne (CA) and passed by the street "Jack Northrup" as in Northrup Corp. Saw a sign for SpaceX ...had no idea that's where they are 😬
Seems like it’s all part of Peter Thiel’s master plan
Hahahaha! Those are the guys behind the stupid crypto ocean liner fiasco! Too great!
He’s got two.
This is one of the most ghoulish things I've ever seen someone say. Like, I'm nauseated.
"Spare kidneys". Ok. When is he signing up to get rid of that pesky spare organ. Also, "unused". From what I remember from high school biology, the body uses both kidneys, although one may be sufficient under certain circumstances. So there would only be used kidneys. (/somewhat sarcasm)
People dunking on this but he's right! You don't need two of them, but it sucks to go through surgery and recover. Want kidney donations? Better make it worth the donor's time and suffering!
Just because you can survive without something doesn't mean it is a good idea to get rid of it.
I’m not a doctor, but I was always under the impression that people were indeed using their spare kidneys.
Good GOD!
Cancelling my cruise ship trip, right now lol
Bring out your dead.
This asshole needs to be euthanized and his organs donated to more deserving humans.
I'd hate to be him at the pearly gates. Jim, you've got a lot of splain'n to do.
Bold of you to assume he'd reach the pearly gates. He's already tagged for an express delivery to the deepest bowels of hell.
So, we're just one step away from having slaves that we can harvest organs from for our convenience. Unused kidneys just walking around. The absurdity and cruelty is just mind boggling. Yet, here we are, actually listening to this insanity.
Well Jim, I'm using mine as a spare.
"Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide” - Yarvin "Yarvin’s disturbing manifestos have earned him influential followers, chief among them..tech billionaire..Thiel... [O]ne can imagine-with horror-what a receptive would-be autocrat like Trump might do with those ideas" @gilduran.com
That's some serious dystopian nightmare shit right there
Uhhhhhm they are being used... by the people who grew two kidneys. Which is the vast majority of people. These fuckers really just want to harvest the poor for their own profit and entertainment, huh?
And plenty of unused brains under those MAGA hats, but they're not healthy.
They're already prepping the drugs, the bathtubs, and ice packs as we speak!
Seems our buddy O'Neill here has some barely used gray matter he could sell.
Amazing job America!

I’m pretty sure I know what’s going to happen to all of these immigrants that are being rounded up.
gross but true. there's already coerced (and often filthy) blood/plasma "donation" in prisons.
The plasma places in my town all closed. I assume because of the extraordinarily high rates of HepC (IVD is high and we have almost no harm eeduction)
Brilliant - all the people kicked off Medicaid can just sell their kidneys to get medical care! You’ll be able to go the hospital and get it all done in one transaction, like turning in your car to the dealer when you go to buy a new one.
Mandatory organ donation, a classic spin off of undermining abortion rights, ugh

A fellow (obviously down-on-his-luck) stopped me on the sidewalk yesterday and asked, “Say, buddy—got any spare kidneys?”
The 19th century is calling!
Step 1. Horde all the wealth so everyone outside of the minority never knows security. Also, no upward mobility. Step 2. Crash the economy in order to complete a fascist takeover. Step 3. Desperate people sell their organs. Or wake up in a bathtub w/out them. Whatever. Not their problem.
"unused" or "used by someone not as rich as me"?
Flooding the market with kidney sell-offs will lower the cost of selling a kidney so they'll be worth $3 bucks tops.
I would like this man’s kidney extracted.
sickening.
Of course. Their utopia is all about plutocracy and the privilege of wealth overruling all other values.
Somehow I still have enough naïveté left to be shocked that someone would ever say this shit in public let alone at a dais—God help us
Interesting how some people see other people's bodies as a commodities.
More sci-fi horror now in real life!
Let me guess what’s next…
Seems like he has read “Never Let Me Go” by Kazuo Ishiguro or seen the movie version. He’s also stolen the plot of “The Island” with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson.
"Immigrants long ago dreamed of coming to America,... Where the streets are lined with KIDNEYS. "
Oh, we're at the "seeing people as parts to be sold" part of the agenda. Congratulation. It wasn't even on the board, yet here we are.
A Peter Thiel protege. They don’t care about extending the life span of all Americans; only their select few. Otherwise, they would advocate for free healthcare, free food in schools, affordable housing, subsidized child care, pensions, green energy.. www.technologyreview.com/2025/06/30/1...

great-now they’re in the meat business
OMFG-serious? Who are these people?
I know long term thinking isn’t IN but what if , when you’re down to one kidney, you get a stone or an infection?
I think we have different definitions of unused
has he donated his healthy spare kidney yet?
Holy shit, I genuinely thought the quote was a parodic paraphrase until I actually heard him say it. Like, with those very words. I...
I knew we are fucked but i didn’t know we’d be this fucked. Anything for their interpretation of a Gildead age….
So those pushed further into poverty by this regime will be able to sell a kidney.
🤦♂️
Pretty sure this was a Law and Order episode
Probably has a timeshare in Myanmar
This aligns nicely with their strategy to make poor people poorer. The rich will be able to get kidneys at a bargain price.
Does anyone think they'll stop at just offering money? They have access to everyone's health records and already force women to keep another body alive using their organs.
One short step from all those unused wombs walking around.
youtu.be/_ZyNJ3cKfEg
The new CDC Director doesn't understand medical ethics? Golly, what a surprise . . .
Quick, someone send this clown a copy of Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go"...
"Unused"?
Tell me this doesn’t invite criminals to kidnap people off the street to in order to harvest* their organs for sale.
What the hell kind of country are we becoming?
A dystopia where anyone not wealthy is a serf and has to sell body parts. But at lesst gas is cheap.
except gas isn't cheap
There are serious ways for the government to be pro organ donation. You could do something like change the default to opt-in for post-mortem donation, or at least run ad campaigns about how donors save lives even after they die. This guy is just a weirdo.
Monty Python vibes youtu.be/Sp-pU8TFsg0?...
Guessing he doesn't know we are already the biggest exporter of plasma
OMFG… I thought that was just your narrative based on some vague implication he made but THAT IS AN ACTUAL DIRECT QUOTE. And I was shocked and enraged when people in Afghanistan post-war had to sell their kidneys to feed their kids…
Yep. Afghanistan being just one example.

lol, the seasteading institute!
Sounds like a deeply scientific guy 😂
Starting with his two.
I'm quite confident they are not, in fact, walking around "unused." The human body does, in fact, use both healthy kidneys continuously, even though it can technically survive with only one.
Oh come on stop splitting hairs.
Why? So they can have some healthy intact "unused" hair too?
He’s got two, for instance.
Another reason to get vaccinated is dipshits like this won't want your kidneys anymore.
I picked the wrong year to quit drinking, my kidneys are gonna be irresistible

Let the poor die while pushing for-profit organ donation. With the government probably getting a cut.
Fucking ghoulish
These rich assholes really do just want permission to harvest poor people for fun and profit...
I think they will find the poor people will resist this. Strenuously. After all, they’ll have nothing to lose. And there’s a lot of them. (Us.) Plus, we have 120 guns for every 100 people in this country. A lot of poor people, a lot of guns…what could possibly go wrong?
He looks at a person and think, "That's an extra kidney that they can live without". He is one step away from thinking, "Those with money are entitled to kidneys"

Too tolerant. Where's the publicity? We all need to be reposting this stuff to every news outlet we can think of and reposting everywhere. Most people aren't on Bluesky and don't listen to podcasts. We all have to spread the word. We are the reporters.

oh another quack doctor? we don't have "spare" parts let me guess whose kidneys you want to take fucking monster
This guy somehow makes me less pro-kidney donation
OMG! They will start by taking kidneys from people in the internment camps.
I am using both of mine right now sorry
They’re going to start using human bodies as organ farms, aren’t they?
My IMMEDIATE thought when I saw this too. Now that fascism is flaunting power in domination of the United States, why not normalize other atrocities like normalizing body harvesting? These people are fucking psychos
Yes.
Let’s take his
Like just imagine him waking up in a bath tub full of ice
What the fuck
One of the many things wrong with the world we live in right now is that people don't immediately get shot after saying shit like this.
Yikes. This is a frequent kdrama plot.
Didn’t Kentucky become a large donor state as their OD’s increased?
And if we brought back slavery -- just think of how many new organs we could breed !

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Blink. Blink. 😬😬😳😳😳
Gonna need both of mine for pissing on graves.
Jesus fuck
Okay, let’s start with one of his kidneys.
Ah, the anti-science crowd’s take on transplant physiology. Loooooove it
"unused"
I did a quick check of the theoretical price of a human kidney, and it's less than a new car. They're tagging it at $45k compensation. To remove a working organ. You can JUST BARELY afford a fancy KIA with that. Or a year or two of rent. Not both tho.
Oh, and the cost of MOVING the kidney from one person to another is $450,000 The actual organ would cost far less than handing it across the room. The hospital would get 10 times as much for cutting it out of you than you'd get for losing it.
Unused kidneys walking around? WHAT
When I was in law school 40 years ago, the national moot court (hypothetical) case involved organ donation, so I researched it. There was a long and consistent revulsion of any kind of money for body parts transaction (beyond blood donation).
it's Monty Python: Ministry of spare kidney walks and Ministry of silly talks - with the same minister in charge.
“Unused”????
I see opportunity for synergies here between CDC and DHS. Offer detained immigrants about to be deported some kind of fast-track quasi-legal status, something like TPS that can easily be revoked on a whim, for the price of just one kidney.
Say what?
Good Lord. These ghouls.
While talking at the fucking seasteading institute no less
There are a bunch of fascists & cops who could be used as organ donors too.
And this was a prepared speech.
Is he using both of his?
He isn’t using both sides of his brain.
I mean, either side.
How can he use what isn’t there?
I’m quite sure he won’t miss his heart
What heart?
His brain is obviously unused too.
It's half rotted by ketamine.
True, but who would want a MAGAT brain? 😂
Assuming he has one
Good point!
I don’t his brain is fully functional either…if he has one.
There does seem to be a severe lack of functioning gray matter in US politics 😞
nobody would want a brain donated by this moron.
Who would miss a lump of tar?
He sounds like it's already missing.
🔥
I don’t want to hear any asshole talking about “spare kidneys” unless they’ve actually donated one.
Exactly. That, and are a living liver donor, too.
I'm pretty sure that nobody wants my liver based on my habits beginning 2016....

Did he just admit something?Makes you wonder what's going to be going on in the concentration camps...
Jim O’Neill needs to sell his brain immediately because it appears to be walking around unused.
He doesn't know that both kidneys are running at the same time?
Get ready for chloroform, waking up with a big scar and one less kidney! Fun times in Trumpland!
Apparently there are plenty of healthy spare brains walking around too, definitely unused.
His kidneys first please
Sure, let him go first
is he saying cartelized? what does that mean? Plenty of healthy kidneys walking around unused? What? I use my kidneys, both of them!
Organs are not unused nor do they wander around….
This is why you never resign
This is the most libertarian thing ever said that didn't involved the age of consent.
At the Seasteading Institute, that kind of thing is just implied
If you grow up in the South, all the jokes about child rape are well known. Many of these men love the "jokes".

You had them at "genital exams". 🤢🤮
This is just a pre cursor to the body snatching ambulances rumoured in places like Russia and South America
Unused? I think not.
How about you donate both of yours, fuckface?
Generally speaking everyone's using their kidneys. I use mine every single day. They help with all the pissing and being alive and stuff, you see.
Oh, yeah, no way THIS could go wrong.
Don't go drinking with this guy. You will wake up in ice-filled bathtub, and vital organs gone.
I've been waiting 30 yrs to finally experience this phenomenon. And with Halloween coming up, another chance to find psychoactive drugs in candy

Not without making sure your drink was covered the whole time.
Wake up? What, and leave perfectly functioning organs behind??? Wasteful!

And guaranteed if you mist the bathroom mirror the next morning it will say "...And you now have the clap"

The problem with paying people is that those who are desperate for the money will be tempted to lie about their lifestyle and past health.
Precisely. This is why blood donors are not paid in this country. It incentivizes deceit and puts patient recipients at risk. This is a terrible idea.
People already lie about that kind of stuff, just to be able to have a chance to save a loved one, I can't imagine how bad it would be if there was money changing hands between strangers.
True, but im also worried about poor people feeling pressured to sell an organ. Prisoners having theirs taken. I could imagine under Trump regime a world where giving up an organ fast tracks u for a visa, and then the organ goes only to those who donate big bucks to Trump. This way lies madness.
That's likely why they're human trafficking....aka deporting. Bodies nobody will miss, and their families will forget about them, right? It's how they pick kids to rape. Predators in every sense of the word. Pick on the vulnerable. That's what they do.
Oh god; I hadn’t thought of that. I have thought about women, kids not being safe with ICE Nazis. But you’re right; they are bodies they don’t think anyone will miss. And their families are powerless.
Even if they haven’t actively done drugs/smoked/whatever, just the literal stress of being poor enough to make selling an organ sound like a good idea will have taken a significant toll on the health of the organ they might try to sell
I've seen the movie that came up with a solution for this:
The solution was to replace filthy rich sociopaths with decent clones, right? I call this a full body transplant. 🤗
‘Never Let Me Go’ was right there… youtu.be/Uu5lF4MZgPk?...
And I’ve seen the original movie that sued and won against The Island, despite being on MST3k youtu.be/WspeHC7eoOI?...
Not so concerned about the health of their kidney, what about THEIR health after they lose one?
The real problem is yet again, wealth determines health. If you can afford to purchase a kidney, you move to the front of the line. If you’re poor, you die. “Decrease the surplus population” I guess.
Truth
The problem with paying people is that is incentivizes murdering people for organ harvest.
And the poor will go to "drs" in alleys to have a kidney removed so they can sell it.
I played a game about seasteading
Has he donated one of his?
😂😂😂😂
He donated the part of his brain that covers empathy and logic.
He wasn’t using that bit anyway.
He doesn't have it to begin with
Then he couldn't donate it - the brain is pretty plastic, unused functions tend to atrophy to make place for more useful ones
Pristine condition
Fucking ghoul.
Where do they find these people?
OMG an actual ghoul. One might say Jim O’Neill has a healthy brain walking around, unused.
I don't know about him, but I'm using both of mine.
😳
What are his qualifications for the job?
Trump admin: Qualifications? We don't need no stinking qualifications!
Is this what they mean when they say "run the government as a business"? I guess so.
it is on par for a rump business
I don’t need the sound up to know what kind of crackpot he is when he’s standing in front of that banner.
Has anyone asked new acting director of CDC Jim O'Neill if he has renounced the Thiel Fellowship, the organization he cofounded? Students, including science students, must drop out of school in order to receive $200,000 grants. (Typo: incentivizes) bsky.app/profile/nanc...
“Unused”? No, that’s definitely not how that works.
Kidneys don’t walk around on their own. Anyone eligible to donate is using them both. Having been on a transplant list, I don’t want one from someone so desperate for survival that they sell theirs. I also couldn’t afford that, like the majority of recipients. There are other solutions. He knows.
Capitalization of body parts? What the actual fuck.
What stage of dystopian hellscape is this today?
so they haven’t announced their prisoners early release for just one kidney plan yet
Um what?
In one of Larry Nivens mid-70s dystopian stories, the penalty for a minor crime is execution, because your kidneys might help keep an oligarch alive. I kind of feel like our oligarchs want to get there.
They're already there. You know Putin bathes in blood, right? Currently deer blood. But yes, he fills the tub.
www.businessinsider.com/putin-health...
I know I read three or four SciFi novels from 70s through ~late 90s with the sell-your-kidneys theme. Yeah, they all basically end the same.
There are plenty of unused brains out there as well, starting with Jim O’Neills. Perhaps he could donate it to science to show that he can unction without using it although that experiment has been under way for some time given his statements.
The hell I'm gonna do with money if I'm dead

These people think branded pens and tote bags from big pharma have corrupted all their doctors… meanwhile the CDC is setting them up with punch cards for our insides. Nothing says patient trust like your doctor winking and asking, “So, are you more attached to lefty or righty?”
Bravo. Yes.
Pretty soon they'll start claiming they need to harvest organs from undocumented migrants. Do we REALLY know where the ICE raids take them?
are they sure about that? everyone’s getting organ damage from covid. which, hmm, might be something his new agency should have been doing something about instead of telling everyone it’s now suddenly somehow fine and good to get covid over and over.
Not exactly "unused." We have two for a reason. Speaking at Seasteading Institute, another vehicle by which Thiel and other billionaires hope to avoid government regulation and involvement in a society with rights for non-billionaires. Assume the "payment" is scrip for the company store.
so... how many kidneys does this guy have?
Only the best, brightest and least corrupt - oops my bad 🥴
a) The position isn't currently vacant b) There's a Booker nominated novel (whose twist I won't spoil by naming) with this very premise. Hint: it's a dystopia.
Fantastic read! Frightening reality!
Is he going to volunteer to have his kidney harvested first?
For 20 years I gave blood platelets once a month at St Jude children’s research hospital. I graduated out of the bone marrow registry. THIS SHIT is offensive to me. This has ZERO to do with saving lives. These people are odious ghouls.
It has to do with saving the only lives that matter to him: billionaires.
Profitize everything - it's the Republican way.
Always their first thought, yes (besides "how can I blame this on a Democrat.) Rethugs are soulless creatures.
It’s not a donation if you are paid and only the poor would ever consider such a thing. God where are we headed?!?
Squid Games
GODDAMNIT What a soulless ghoul!
Someone who knows how should post this to his Wikipedia page.
My God! This repulsive administration! 🤦🏼♀️
So he wants poor, desperate folks to give up one of their kidneys to get some temporary money. That isn't sustainable -- they don't have a supply of extra kidneys to keep selling. And they risk death if their remaining kidney fails, as they won't be able to buy into that market for "spare" kidneys.
The problem here is that longevity drugs are 100% for the rich. No insurance company in the world is ever going to pay for a drug that 100% of their customers want. It will be entirely self pay, and it ain't going to be cheap.
And if folks did figure out how to bootleg the rich people's meds, you can bet the rich people place would probably hire mercenaries to take out the offending party. Dirty secret of most of these therapies, they are actually not hard to make. Like an overglorified beer vat. Biohackers are a thing
Those drugs will eventually shorten their lives. They all have side effects.
There is no such thing as a "longevity drug." Eat better, move more, and be very, very lucky.
Not yet of course, but there is the real possibility of such a thing being developed. Eat better and move more ain't gonna get ya to 120. In ten, twenty, or thirty years, a longevity drug might.
We already have longevity drugs. They're called things like vaccines and antibiotics. The idea that someone could create a drug which repairs the damaged telomeres at the ends of every chromosome in your body to extend your life is only conceivable in fiction novels.
You need to let all of the folks involved in this know that they are wasting their time. www.labiotech.eu/best-biotech...
