What Ferdinand would hoard, she circulates. He fastens on the absolutes of ascriptive identity; the duchess, on the earnables of achieved character.
However, it was recognized by Prison Service Headquarters that not all of these 'key earnables' would be relevant in all prisons (for example, all women prisoners already wore their own clothes, and there were no plans to change this; long-term prisoners in conditions of maximum security could not expect community visits).

In Lewis' view, such societies are cut off from an appreciation of the past, committed to the utopian ideal of unlimited progress, self-satisfied, concerned with technos rather than telos, and skeptical about reason.

"Seasteading" may one day assume the pioneering role in underwater colonization that homesteading played in past settlement of the grasslands of the American West.
We're a young American couple without much money who wanted to make the planet our village. Seasteading (self-sufficient boat living) was the answer.
The Raft was a seasteading community, a loose affiliation of over a hundred vessels that had been converted to floating farms and cities by climate refugees from small island nations that had been wiped out by rising waters.
For those of you looking to escape into international waters, there’s always seasteading to consider — modular, autonomous, voluntary city-states.
He [Peter Thiel] has used his considerable wealth to support visionary research on anti-aging products, artificial intelligence, and "seasteading" (building new communities on the ocean, beyond the control of governments), among other initiatives.
As a seastead supporter wrote on one of our discussion forums, a key difference between the founders of nations and the creators of seasteads is that "seasteading aggresses against no one. That humans may settle new territory consistent with the principle of nonaggression is a remarkable development in the human experience."
