We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Samizdata quote of the day “It had always bothered him to see waste; to see Gas Giant atmospheres not mined for their wealth in hydrogen; to see energy from stars spill into the void, without a Dyson Sphere to catch and use it; to see iron and copper and silicates scattered in a hundred million pebbles and asteroids, instead of a smelter or nanoassembly vat.”
– The Golden Age, by John C. Wright, page 261.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Seriously though, its where we belong.
Well it’s certainly where we have to go in large numbers.
That the Sun will go out, is a certainty
and if we’re still here – bickering
when it happens
Well that’s it for the smartest species the earth ever produced. And all for what?
Arthur C Clarke is a crap writer, but a good ideas man.
His book, Childhood’s End, touches on this theme of the end of the world and what’s the point.
Preachy and didactic, but worth a skim through.
Well, i ceratinly agree with this, this has to happen someday or the other.
I highly recommend all three books in the trilogy and suggest anyone who has not read them go to Amazon and order all of them right now.
