I’m here at the Free Cities Foundation Annual Meeting 2026 in Próspera, Roatan, Hondura. Several PFS members are involved, and some here today. I have a debate on IP tomorrow, Debate: Should Free Cities Protect Intellectual Property?, between me and with IP attorney Brian O’Beirne, moderated by Tipolis CFO Alex Voss. [See “Debate: Should Free Cities Protect Intellectual Property?” Free Cities Foundation Annual Conference — Próspera, Honduras 2026] Today’s livestream is on their youtube channel.

And a meta-tweet:
To illustrate why intellectual property isn’t a valid form of property, since my use of an idea does not deprive you from the possibility of using the idea as well

That argument about IP being justified because it is symmetric made my day. How about granting one half of humanity the right to steal from the second half on Mondays, and granting the second half the right to steal from the first on Wednesdays. This one is symmetric too. LOL
