Rather than buying Greenland,
Dryden Brown wondered whether he could work with the government to create a new city,
purposefully built on uninhabitable land.

“What if we can sort of build a prototype of Terminus?” he said,
referencing Elon Musk’s preferred name for a city on Mars.

A member of the Danish parliament was not amused.

“Greenlandic independence requires approval by the Danish parliament and a change of our constitution,” politician Rasmus Jarlov tweeted.

“I can guarantee you that there is no way we would approve independence so that you could buy Greenland.”

But, if building a new city in Greenland were just a question of financials,
Brown has the resources to do it
— kind of.

For the last five years, Brown,
along with co-founder Charlie Callinan,
has been at the helm of #Praxis,
a network state startup with the explicit goal of creating a city.

He emphasized Praxis as an internet-first ideology
— one that has courted controversy,
like when a Praxis member guide reportedly said that
“traditional, European/Western beauty standards on which the civilized world, at its best points, has always found success.”

Despite the controversy, the #Peter #Thiel-backed project recently raised $525 million,
with a major asterisk:

The startup has the ability to draw down the money as it hits specific milestones in its city-building project.

So for now, Praxis is an internet ideology in search of a physical home.

The group hosted 250 Praxis-supporters in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, earlier this month,
where attendees like Bedrock’s #Geoff #Lewis
and #Mamuka #Bakhtadze, former prime minister of Georgia,
were presented with different location options for Praxis.
