  It's a little bit of a dilemma here because I'm anti-state you know I am of the belief
• 0:10
  that the state is a huge problem and frankly they prove me right daily and so the idea
• 0:18
  of creating a new state is initially kind of incompatible with my belief system I don't
• 0:29
  I'm looking for fewer states not a not more states but I also kind of understand
• 0:36
  where they're coming from no I fully understand where they're coming from
• 0:39
  they are they are trying to play this game with one foot in the system and one
• 0:43
  foot out so the foot in the system is doing the things that you need to do
• 0:48
  to become a country right and the the legality of that and the hoops you
• 0:53
  have to jump through and the you know the hands you have to shake and things
• 0:57
  like that luckily this is the right crew they're not they're not out there looking
• 1:00
  to start this country because they're trying to make money from it they're not
• 1:04
  trying to start a war it's not some it's not some piece of land that they took in
• 1:09
  a coup or anything like that like you know so like the land itself is peaceful and
• 1:16
  free and there's no encumbrances on it and there's no drama with it there's
• 1:20
  a little bit of it a little bit of drama coming from the Croatian side I'll
• 1:23
  explain what that is but but these guys have decided there if we're gonna live
• 1:29
  in a world where they're of statism then let's see if we can do the state
• 1:35
  better right so again I am I lean more towards the system is broken let's build
• 1:43
  a different system they are coming at it from the system is broken let's still
• 1:48
  play inside the system but let's build a country that's way better and then
• 1:53
  inspire people to change after they see what we've done so I can understand it's
• 1:58
  just it's two ways of coming at the problem and in fact you know one of the
• 2:01
  best presentations I ever saw at an archipelago was from Max Egan by the way
• 2:06
  we're gonna get into that because he did he did two presentations here and it's
• 2:10
  he did a very important second presentation I'll get into why it was
• 2:14
  important and it had to do with the conference itself but the first
• 2:18
  presentation I saw from Max several years ago was it was was the theme was how
• 2:24
  do you navigate this world where you see these inadequacies and these in the
• 2:30
  the state being insane maniacs and how do you how do you navigate the system
• 2:38
  everybody wants to leave the system and Max's philosophy is sometimes you have
• 2:42
  to have one foot in you know sometimes that you yes we want to have
• 2:47
  both feet out but sometimes you have to have one foot in because if you need to
• 2:51
  travel they're gonna check your travel documents right so you need to get a
• 2:55
  passport but you need to have the right passport and there's certain ways in
• 2:58
  which you can deal with the TSA in which you minimize your exposure to their
• 3:03
  to their digital pictures and things like that so you have to play their game
• 3:08
  a little bit if you're going to be mobile in that regard but within that
• 3:13
  there's ways to play it in which it benefits you there's things you can
• 3:16
  opt out from obviously I always opt out of the pat or the body scanners at TSA I
• 3:22
  opt out of the photograph that they want to take when the guy before you do the
• 3:27
  body scanners when he's checking your ID you can opt out of that their signs
• 3:32
  there so you know one foot in one foot out I had to get on a plane fly
• 3:36
  halfway across the world to go to this conference so I've got to go through
• 3:39
  TSA do I like the TSA no I despise them so I'm not I'm not friendly with
• 3:45
  them I do the minimum I say the fewest words possible to them when I can and
• 3:51
  go on about my business hey thanks for watching that clip if you want to watch
