Interview: Randy Hencken of the Seasteading Institute, Blue Frontiers, and VARYON!

It was a pleasure to interview Randy Hencken today, the Managing Director and Cofounder of Blue Frontiers (@bluefrontiers) who has been working since 2011 to promote new systems of governance and sustainable living with floating systems for freedom, liberty, and human flourishing. I've been following the Seasteading story for quite some time, and I'm very excited about the potential here. Randy and I met at the Tulip Conference in San Francisco last month, and he was gracious enough to give me some time to do this interview today. To find out more, please view the links below.

As of the posting of this video, you can still participate in the Varyon public presale! I was not paid in any way to put this interview together, but did it because I want to see this project succeed. I look at this as an investment in the future model of how humanity chooses to govern itself and not be owned by nation states.

The video Randy mentioned during the interview can be seen here:
The Mexican Town That Kicked Out Politicians And Started Over (HBO)
"In Mexico's cycle of violence, the key ingredient is the state. Remove that ingredient, and it's possible to start from scratch."

Please follow Seasteading and Blue Frontiers on YouTube.

Here's the full 50 minute interview where we talk a bit about Voluntaryism, the history of the Seasteading Institute as a think tank, how they created Blue Frontiers to actually implement their ideas, and the introduction of the VARYON token to raise funds and empower the Seasteading community to directly participate and benefit from their efforts. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for watching! Do you enjoy this interview format? I did one last week talking about WISE, and I do enjoy them. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Full disclosure, I do plan to purchase some VARYON tokens, but this is not financial advice of any kind. This is for information and education only. If you choose to participate in their public pre-sale or main offering, please read everything carefully and make your own informed opinion. Others like Eric Vorhees seem to be excited about it also:

If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below and as always I'll try to answer if I can or find someone who can.
