Ideally? Tuvalu. Been reading about Tuvalu recently because of something I saw here. But realistically... Probably the best I can manage is Hawaii. And that'll be difficult... They got some kind of hate for outsiders going on. I don't want the touristy places... There's cheap land where there's no utilities and where banks don't do mortgages. That's my kind of place.

What makes Tuvalu more ideal?

Further from people, fewer people

But simultaneously closer to other similar island groups

Does that not feel a little bit “claustrophobic” to be cut off and limited like that?

People bring other kinds of limits, but still.

Yeah, potentially. But as long as there are airplanes, its easy to ameliorate.

When we get real robots, I want to send them out to build a bunch of land bridges and connect all the damn land masses. Print more land.

Okay, but I'll be sending them out to demolish the bridges. The world is already far too connected.

Then burn the planes.

Actually... Yes.

At least get rid of anything faster/bigger than single prop

Either way, I’ll be printing ocean front land!

pacific has a lot more islands than atlantic and atlantic more than indian

i was told a story about how WW2 went down in iceland, from a friend who spent some time working at a bitcoin mine over there

basically the danish customs/coast guard guys got swapped for germans for a while, and then back to danish, but nothing actually happened to the rest of the island

even iceland is a pretty safe place from world-wide bullshit, places smaller like madeira and cape verde and tuvalu and tonga, the biggest dangers in these places is earthquakes, volacanoes and tsunamis

probably everything smaller than hawaii is much the same... too small and mostly full of fishermen and farmers to be a drop in the bucket for the warmongers economic strangulation
