Everybody is focused on a submersible with 5 people on board…so much so that we turn all the cameras and all the public aid to it. I suppose we like the extravagance of paying 250k for an extreme experience. It’s sexy.

But then 700 people just drowned in the Mediterranean because they were trying to flee hopeless lives with their families. When your life is miserable, you do what you can for your family, even if it means trusting a rickety boat and setting sail across a sea.

Boarders are designed to eliminate the movement of populations… to keep the poor out, or to keep the underrepresented poor workers in. It’s a decision by the rich to protect capital at the expense of people. The belief in the virtues of a borderless currency and in a borderless communication protocol, must be extended to all aspects of civilization. If borders are detrimental to human rights and to the prosperity of the species, then borders should be overcome.
