Free Cities Conference

We went to what was supposed to be a conference about free cities. The presenter was Miguel Lamas Pardo, and he was presenting his thesis. He was proposing that there should be an establishment of autonomous cities at sea in order to create new political and social systems.  He also proposed that in order to do this, there should be artificial platforms in the ocean and that those should be colonized. The requirements to built this were: commercial and economic, the technical part of the platform, legal and auto governments.

I thought the conference was very interesting, since it was presenting an idea that I had never really heard before; it was new and innovating. There were a couple of things I did not like about the presentation. The first thing I didn't like is that I wanted to hear the economic side of the free cities, not really the technical side. Most of what he talked about was only the platforms and different ways of building platforms. The other thing I didn't like was the presenter, I thought he didn't really know how to present and I was bored about half was through.
