Archipelago

Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea by Jules Verne, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book . THE GRECIAN ARCHIPELAGO here CHAPTER VI: THE GRECIAN ARCHIPELAGO The next day, the 12th of February, at the dawn of day, the rose to the surface. I hastened on to the platform. Three miles to the south the dim outline of Pelusium was to be seen. A torrent had carried us from one sea to another. About seven o’clock Ned and Conseil joined me. Nautilus “Well, Sir Naturalist,” said the Canadian, in a slightly jovial tone, “and the Mediterranean?” “We are floating on its surface, friend Ned.” “What!” said Conseil, “this very night.” “Yes, this very night; in a few minutes we have passed this impassable isthmus.” “I do not believe it,” replied the Canadian. “Then you are wrong, Master Land,” I continued; “this low coast which rounds off to the south is the Egyptian coast. And you who have such good eyes, Ned, you can see the jetty of Port Said stretching into the sea.” The Canadian looked attentively. “Certainly you are right, sir, and your Captain is a first-rate man. We are in the Mediterranean. Good! Now, if you please, let us talk of our own little affair, but so that no one hears us.” I saw what the Canadian wanted, and, in any case, I thought it better to let him talk, as he wished it; so we all three went and sat down near the lantern, where we were less exposed to the spray of the blades. “Now, Ned, we listen; what have you to tell us?” “What I have to tell you is very simple. We are in Europe; and before Captain Nemo’s caprices drag us once more to the bottom of the Polar Seas, or lead us into Oceania, I ask to leave the .” Nautilus I wished in no way to shackle the liberty of my companions, but I certainly felt no desire to leave Captain Nemo. Thanks to him, and thanks to his apparatus, I was each day nearer the completion of my submarine studies; and I was rewriting my book of submarine depths in its very element. Should I ever again have such an opportunity of observing the wonders of the ocean? No, certainly not! And I could not bring myself to the idea of abandoning the before the cycle of investigation was accomplished. Nautilus “Friend Ned, answer me frankly, are you tired of being on board? Are you sorry that destiny has thrown us into Captain Nemo’s hands?” The Canadian remained some moments without answering. Then, crossing his arms, he said: “Frankly, I do not regret this journey under the seas. I shall be glad to have made it; but, now that it is made, let us have done with it. That is my idea.” “It will come to an end, Ned.” “Where and when?” “Where I do not know—when I cannot say; or, rather, I suppose it will end when these seas have nothing more to teach us.” “Then what do you hope for?” demanded the Canadian. “That circumstances may occur as well six months hence as now by which we may and ought to profit.” “Oh!” said Ned Land, “and where shall we be in six months, if you please, Sir Naturalist?” “Perhaps in China; you know the is a rapid traveller. It goes through water as swallows through the air, or as an express on the land. It does not fear frequented seas; who can say that it may not beat the coasts of France, England, or America, on which flight may be attempted as advantageously as here.” Nautilus “M. Aronnax,” replied the Canadian, “your arguments are rotten at the foundation. You speak in the future, ‘We shall be there! we shall be here!’ I speak in the present, ‘We are here, and we must profit by it.’” Ned Land’s logic pressed me hard, and I felt myself beaten on that ground. I knew not what argument would now tell in my favour. “Sir,” continued Ned, “let us suppose an impossibility: if Captain Nemo should this day offer you your liberty; would you accept it?” “I do not know,” I answered. “And if,” he added, “the offer made you this day was never to be renewed, would you accept it?” “Friend Ned, this is my answer. Your reasoning is against me. We must not rely on Captain Nemo’s good-will. Common prudence forbids him to set us at liberty. On the other side, prudence bids us profit by the first opportunity to leave the .” Nautilus “Well, M. Aronnax, that is wisely said.” “Only one observation—just one. The occasion must be serious, and our first attempt must succeed; if it fails, we shall never find another, and Captain Nemo will never forgive us.” “All that is true,” replied the Canadian. “But your observation applies equally to all attempts at flight, whether in two years’ time, or in two days’. But the question is still this: If a favourable opportunity presents itself, it must be seized.” “Agreed! And now, Ned, will you tell me what you mean by a favourable opportunity?” “It will be that which, on a dark night, will bring the a short distance from some European coast.” Nautilus “And you will try and save yourself by swimming?” “Yes, if we were near enough to the bank, and if the vessel was floating at the time. Not if the bank was far away, and the boat was under the water.” “And in that case?” “In that case, I should seek to make myself master of the pinnace. I know how it is worked. We must get inside, and the bolts once drawn, we shall come to the surface of the water, without even the pilot, who is in the bows, perceiving our flight.” “Well, Ned, watch for the opportunity; but do not forget that a hitch will ruin us.” “I will not forget, sir.” “And now, Ned, would you like to know what I think of your project?” “Certainly, M. Aronnax.” “Well, I think—I do not say I hope—I think that this favourable opportunity will never present itself.” “Why not?” “Because Captain Nemo cannot hide from himself that we have not given up all hope of regaining our liberty, and he will be on his guard, above all, in the seas and in the sight of European coasts.” “We shall see,” replied Ned Land, shaking his head determinedly. “And now, Ned Land,” I added, “let us stop here. Not another word on the subject. The day that you are ready, come and let us know, and we will follow you. I rely entirely upon you.” Thus ended a conversation which, at no very distant time, led to such grave results. I must say here that facts seemed to confirm my foresight, to the Canadian’s great despair. Did Captain Nemo distrust us in these frequented seas? or did he only wish to hide himself from the numerous vessels, of all nations, which ploughed the Mediterranean? I could not tell; but we were oftener between waters and far from the coast. Or, if the did emerge, nothing was to be seen but the pilot’s cage; and sometimes it went to great depths, for, between the Grecian Archipelago and Asia Minor we could not touch the bottom by more than a thousand fathoms. Nautilus Thus I only knew we were near the Island of Carpathos, one of the Sporades, by Captain Nemo reciting these lines from Virgil: “Est Carpathio Neptuni gurgite vates, Caeruleus Proteus,” as he pointed to a spot on the planisphere. It was indeed the ancient abode of Proteus, the old shepherd of Neptune’s flocks, now the Island of Scarpanto, situated between Rhodes and Crete. I saw nothing but the granite base through the glass panels of the saloon. The next day, the 14th of February, I resolved to employ some hours in studying the fishes of the Archipelago; but for some reason or other the panels remained hermetically sealed. Upon taking the course of the , I found that we were going towards Candia, the ancient Isle of Crete. At the time I embarked on the , the whole of this island had risen in insurrection against the despotism of the Turks. But how the insurgents had fared since that time I was absolutely ignorant, and it was not Captain Nemo, deprived of all land communications, who could tell me. Nautilus Abraham Lincoln I made no allusion to this event when that night I found myself alone with him in the saloon. Besides, he seemed to be taciturn and preoccupied. Then, contrary to his custom, he ordered both panels to be opened, and, going from one to the other, observed the mass of waters attentively. To what end I could not guess; so, on my side, I employed my time in studying the fish passing before my eyes. In the midst of the waters a man appeared, a diver, carrying at his belt a leathern purse. It was not a body abandoned to the waves; it was a living man, swimming with a strong hand, disappearing occasionally to take breath at the surface. I turned towards Captain Nemo, and in an agitated voice exclaimed: “A man shipwrecked! He must be saved at any price!” The Captain did not answer me, but came and leaned against the panel. The man had approached, and, with his face flattened against the glass, was looking at us. To my great amazement, Captain Nemo signed to him. The diver answered with his hand, mounted immediately to the surface of the water, and did not appear again. “Do not be uncomfortable,” said Captain Nemo. “It is Nicholas of Cape Matapan, surnamed Pesca. He is well known in all the Cyclades. A bold diver! water is his element, and he lives more in it than on land, going continually from one island to another, even as far as Crete.” “You know him, Captain?” “Why not, M. Aronnax?” Saying which, Captain Nemo went towards a piece of furniture standing near the left panel of the saloon. Near this piece of furniture, I saw a chest bound with iron, on the cover of which was a copper plate, bearing the cypher of the with its device. Nautilus At that moment, the Captain, without noticing my presence, opened the piece of furniture, a sort of strong box, which held a great many ingots. They were ingots of gold. From whence came this precious metal, which represented an enormous sum? Where did the Captain gather this gold from? and what was he going to do with it? I did not say one word. I looked. Captain Nemo took the ingots one by one, and arranged them methodically in the chest, which he filled entirely. I estimated the contents at more than 4,000 lbs. weight of gold, that is to say, nearly £200,000. The chest was securely fastened, and the Captain wrote an address on the lid, in characters which must have belonged to Modern Greece. This done, Captain Nemo pressed a knob, the wire of which communicated with the quarters of the crew. Four men appeared, and, not without some trouble, pushed the chest out of the saloon. Then I heard them hoisting it up the iron staircase by means of pulleys. At that moment, Captain Nemo turned to me. “And you were saying, sir?” said he. “I was saying nothing, Captain.” “Then, sir, if you will allow me, I will wish you good night.” Whereupon he turned and left the saloon. I returned to my room much troubled, as one may believe. I vainly tried to sleep—I sought the connecting link between the apparition of the diver and the chest filled with gold. Soon, I felt by certain movements of pitching and tossing that the was leaving the depths and returning to the surface. Nautilus Then I heard steps upon the platform; and I knew they were unfastening the pinnace and launching it upon the waves. For one instant it struck the side of the , then all noise ceased. Nautilus Two hours after, the same noise, the same going and coming was renewed; the boat was hoisted on board, replaced in its socket, and the again plunged under the waves. Nautilus So these millions had been transported to their address. To what point of the continent? Who was Captain Nemo’s correspondent? The next day I related to Conseil and the Canadian the events of the night, which had excited my curiosity to the highest degree. My companions were not less surprised than myself. “But where does he take his millions to?” asked Ned Land. To that there was no possible answer. I returned to the saloon after having breakfast and set to work. Till five o’clock in the evening I employed myself in arranging my notes. At that moment—(ought I to attribute it to some peculiar idiosyncrasy)—I felt so great a heat that I was obliged to take off my coat. It was strange, for we were under low latitudes; and even then the , submerged as it was, ought to experience no change of temperature. I looked at the manometer; it showed a depth of sixty feet, to which atmospheric heat could never attain. Nautilus I continued my work, but the temperature rose to such a pitch as to be intolerable. “Could there be fire on board?” I asked myself. I was leaving the saloon, when Captain Nemo entered; he approached the thermometer, consulted it, and, turning to me, said: “Forty-two degrees.” “I have noticed it, Captain,” I replied; “and if it gets much hotter we cannot bear it.” “Oh, sir, it will not get better if we do not wish it.” “You can reduce it as you please, then?” “No; but I can go farther from the stove which produces it.” “It is outward, then!” “Certainly; we are floating in a current of boiling water.” “Is it possible!” I exclaimed. “Look.” The panels opened, and I saw the sea entirely white all round. A sulphurous smoke was curling amid the waves, which boiled like water in a copper. I placed my hand on one of the panes of glass, but the heat was so great that I quickly took it off again. “Where are we?” I asked. “Near the Island of Santorin, sir,” replied the Captain. “I wished to give you a sight of the curious spectacle of a submarine eruption.” “I thought,” said I, “that the formation of these new islands was ended.” “Nothing is ever ended in the volcanic parts of the sea,” replied Captain Nemo; “and the globe is always being worked by subterranean fires. Already, in the nineteenth year of our era, according to Cassiodorus and Pliny, a new island, Theia (the divine), appeared in the very place where these islets have recently been formed. Then they sank under the waves, to rise again in the year 69, when they again subsided. Since that time to our days the Plutonian work has been suspended. But on the 3rd of February, 1866, a new island, which they named George Island, emerged from the midst of the sulphurous vapour near Nea Kamenni, and settled again the 6th of the same month. Seven days after, the 13th of February, the Island of Aphroessa appeared, leaving between Nea Kamenni and itself a canal ten yards broad. I was in these seas when the phenomenon occurred, and I was able therefore to observe all the different phases. The Island of Aphroessa, of round form, measured 300 feet in diameter, and 30 feet in height. It was composed of black and vitreous lava, mixed with fragments of felspar. And lastly, on the 10th of March, a smaller island, called Reka, showed itself near Nea Kamenni, and since then these three have joined together, forming but one and the same island.” “And the canal in which we are at this moment?” I asked. “Here it is,” replied Captain Nemo, showing me a map of the Archipelago. “You see, I have marked the new islands.” I returned to the glass. The was no longer moving, the heat was becoming unbearable. The sea, which till now had been white, was red, owing to the presence of salts of iron. In spite of the ship’s being hermetically sealed, an insupportable smell of sulphur filled the saloon, and the brilliancy of the electricity was entirely extinguished by bright scarlet flames. I was in a bath, I was choking, I was broiled. Nautilus “We can remain no longer in this boiling water,” said I to the Captain. “It would not be prudent,” replied the impassive Captain Nemo. An order was given; the tacked about and left the furnace it could not brave with impunity. A quarter of an hour after we were breathing fresh air on the surface. The thought then struck me that, if Ned Land had chosen this part of the sea for our flight, we should never have come alive out of this sea of fire. Nautilus The next day, the 16th of February, we left the basin which, between Rhodes and Alexandria, is reckoned about 1,500 fathoms in depth, and the , passing some distance from Cerigo, quitted the Grecian Archipelago after having doubled Cape Matapan.

THE GRECIAN ARCHIPELAGO

GALAPAGOS ARCHIPELAGO

ST. JAGO, IN THE CAPE DE VERDE ARCHIPELAGO

5 Must-Read Books for Cypherpunks and Crypto Enthusiasts

Have you ever thought about what a nation or state really is? Maybe the first thing that comes to your mind is an established area of land. But wait there: without people, the USA or Japan would be just another patch of dirt, plants, and animals, wouldn’t they? So, people and all that they imply (minds, traditions, culture, laws, language, etc.) are also key to defining a nation. When talking about network states, they might be all that matters. In 2022, the Indian-American entrepreneur Balaji Srinivasan published the book “ ” As the second part of the title implies, , and formed by like-minded people distributed all around the world. The Network State: How to Start a New Country. he’s proposing to create a new nation from scratch, independent from others, with its own money and systems This new type of nation would start online and then would evolve into “physical nodes” funded and governed by its members. He described it like this: “A network state is a social network with a moral innovation, a sense of national consciousness, a recognized founder, a capacity for collective action, an in-person level of civility, an integrated cryptocurrency, a consensual government limited by a social smart contract, an archipelago of crowdfunded physical territories, a virtual capital, and an on-chain census that proves a large enough population, income, and real-estate footprint to attain a measure of diplomatic recognition.” As an individual, anyone could choose to join a certain network state and abide by its rules and benefits, written and shared via smart contract. For Srinivasan, this system could be better than the alternative: be governed by the left or right global powers, which will always ensure the control and surveillance of the population while competing against each other. How to Build a Network State? It may sound nice, but it requires a lot of work. As the author mentioned, a network state just doesn’t come to exist without previous steps or stages. Therefore, he describes seven points to build a network state, and they don’t even need significant resources in the beginning. One person from their computer at home could start a network state. They can begin by founding a startup society: an online community of like-minded people with ambitious aspirations. Then, organize this community into a purpose-driven network union, fostering collective action. The third phase involves building trust offline through physical meetups and concurrently developing an online economy through the creation and promotion of their own cryptocurrency. from apartments to entire towns, creating real co-living communities. The fifth step is connecting these physical nodes digitally to form a network archipelago, linking territories worldwide. Employ web3 crypto-passports for physical access and utilize mixed reality to seamlessly integrate the online and offline realms. With growing trust and accumulated funds, they can initiate crowdfunding campaigns to secure physical spaces, As the society expands, conduct a cryptographically auditable census, showcasing population, income, and real estate growth. Finally, seek diplomatic recognition from existing governments, gradually attaining increased sovereignty to evolve into a fully recognized network state. As the network state's population and economy grow to rival that of legacy states, achieving recognition from established sovereign entities, including the United Nations, becomes a foreseeable milestone. The core concept revolves around populating land from the cloud, fostering a geographically decentralized but ideologically aligned community globally. Why Build a Network State? Because the current global landscape doesn’t seem very amicable or open to free innovation. That’d be the short answer, at least. Srinivasan put it this way in the book: “We want to be able to peacefully start a new state for the same reason we want a bare plot of earth, a blank sheet of paper, an empty text buffer, a fresh startup, or a clean slate. Because we want to build something new without historical constraint.” He also talked about how the world is facing a “ ,” where three main powers and visions are competing to win more influence: The first one is described as “capitalism that enables decentralized censorship,” the second one would be fully centralized capitalism, and the last one is stateless capitalism, the decentralized and neutral sector. Tripolar Moment the American Establishment (symbolized by the paper NYT), the Communist Party of China (CCP), and the Global Internet (symbolized by BTC). In CCP-like societies, you must submit to their government's will; while in NYT-like nations you must sympathize. In the decentralized world, you must be sovereign —but that’s good only to some extent. No one wants to submit to undesirable or unjust laws, and it’s not always possible to “sympathize” with others’ ideas. On the other hand, an excess of sovereignty would mean that every person is alone with their needs, with only them to help themselves. Not only “one” network state is meant to exist, but multiple of them, destined to different groups with diverse ideas. It’s said in this way: “… rather than trying to impose preferences on everyone, what we really want are a variety of points in between these three undesirable poles: different fusions for different groups.” The concept of a network state tries to fuse the best of these three visions, in different flavors and communities. Potential Issues of Network States The concept of network states carries both opportunities and challenges. On the positive side, it enables global collaboration and democratizes participation. However, navigating legal complexities, regulatory hurdles, and the risk of widening digital inequalities poses significant challenges. To add some perspective, Bitcoin didn’t achieve “diplomatic recognition” ( ) soon after its creation, but 12 years later. And only by a couple of countries, so far. Not to mention the logistics, promotion efforts, funding, and mere years it would take to achieve something like this. legal tender status Looking deeper, unforeseen consequences could emerge. Digital nomadism offers freedom but about dependence on technology. New social norms and a potential financial revolution bring opportunities but also introduce challenges, including increased cyber threats —as we’ve often seen in DeFi apps. The network state presents a mix of promises and uncertainties, demanding careful consideration of its potential impacts on our world. raises concerns In addition to the optimistic outlook, there may be . Prioritizing financial gains over genuine connections may commodify relationships. The risk of reinforcing cult-like echo chambers, marginalizing diverse opinions, and potential ethical concerns in inhabited areas require thoughtful consideration. As we explore the concept of network states, it's crucial to remain aware of both the possibilities and the challenges they may bring to the forefront. notable risks Current Network States Initiatives Despite everything, some parties have already started their own version of this futuristic concept. aims to build cities as hubs of technological progress, emphasizing the importance of measurable economic and cultural capital. PRAX Credits, their own cryptocurrency, seeks to fund this new city in the Mediterranean. We can mention three running projects: Praxis, Afropolitan, and Epoch Island. Praxis envisions a digital nation, uniting Africans globally through a curated network. This initiative addresses issues of scarcity, weakness, and poverty experienced by Africans, proposing a Network of Abundance. The strategy involves building awareness, providing utility through the Afropolitan Super App, preparing for a transition to the physical world, and ultimately acquiring land for physical districts governed by the Afropolitan Network. Afropolitan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shFHD4KDYls&embedable=true Finally, sets forth a mission to create a Network State by 2030, introducing a unique country governed by Islanders and Elders. It leverages a cryptocurrency, EPOCH, allowing ownership of land and treasury, and contributing to the growing economy. Intending to acquire diplomatic recognition, Epoch Island envisions becoming the Crypto Capital of the World, providing an alternative space for crypto users seeking refuge from centralized governments. Epoch Island These ventures reflect the diverse paths toward building network states, ranging from creating cities grounded in technological progress, fostering an ethnic bond, or just establishing a new country with its own cryptocurrency. Each project navigates the complex landscape of community, governance, and economic structures in the pursuit of redefining societal models. Obyte for Network States , as a decentralized platform, While it was not explicitly designed for creating network states, its decentralized nature and capabilities could facilitate the development of innovative social structures. Obyte possesses unique features that could potentially contribute to the realization of network states or similar decentralized communities. Known for its DAG ( ) structure, Obyte provides a censorship-resistant platform. This architecture aligns with the concept of network states, where governance, decision-making, and participation are distributed among community members rather than concentrated in a central authority or a small number of central authorities — block producers in blockchains. It can foster a more inclusive and participatory model for building and governing communities. Directed Acyclic Graph Besides, the network supports smart contracts and (AAs), allowing for the creation of self-executing agreements without the need for intermediaries. It's also possible , with or without coding. Autonomous Agents to create custom tokens This feature allows communities to establish their own tokens with specific functionalities, use cases, or governance mechanisms. Economy of Network States Any country needs an economy, and the economy needs safe, properly enforced contracts. Obyte’s provide that, and Obyte is the only crypto network where they’re available. Likewise, any country needs a justice system. Obyte’s and its arbiters provide a kind of autonomous justice for commercial relationships. contracts with arbitration ArbStore Contracts with arbitration, available through the , offer secure decentralized escrow protection for two-party agreements, eliminating the need for mutual trust. Obyte wallet They can work for individuals as well as businesses, and they’re particularly well-suited for international operations —like the ones a network state would need for its members. These contracts can lock the funds until pre-set conditions are met by the parties. However, if one of the parties misbehaves, the other can call an expert arbiter to solve the dispute. They’re (human) professionals registered in the ArbStore platform with their real names and are available to solve certain types of disputes in exchange for a reasonable fee. All of these opportunities are available with a strong emphasis on privacy and security — only the contract parties and, in case of a dispute, the arbiter, can see the contract text. This focus aligns with the need for secure and private communication within network states. To explore the possibility of building an Obyte-based network state, community leaders and developers could leverage the platform's existing features and potentially customize certain aspects to suit the specific needs of their envisioned community. Whether it involves establishing a digital society, coordinating economic activities, or fostering collaborative projects, Obyte's decentralized infrastructure could serve as a foundation for innovative experiments in governance and community building.

Political Story Opinion By Jesse Wood “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” – Edmund Burke. Israel has time to online bully climate activists with autism disorder, but not to answer for their war crimes. But the Israel IDF refuses to answer for their war crimes, violations of international law, or ethnic cleansing of Palestinian civilians via collective punishment and maximized collateral damage. See: https://x.com/jrhwood/status/1715362471228452998?s=20 Yesterday, I called them out very publicly on this, and they remained silent. They chose to neither refute nor justify my accusations of war crimes. The comment in X (formerly Twitter) received a tremendous amount of attention and support through organic online engagement. See: https://x.com/payette_lake/status/1715685481953083749?s=20 Then there were reports it was not being shown properly and failed to load in the X browser client and on Apple IOS. This is not an accusation of censorship, but I have yet to receive a response from X.com Support although I reached out to them both publicly and via direct message. I am truly sickened by Israel's flagrant violation of international law, blatant war crimes, and genocide, or ethnic cleansing, of the 2.2 million strong Palestinian civilian population with collective punishment and maximized collateral damage. Israel is not Hamas. They aren't Islamic Jihadists. Now, it is time for them to start acting like it. See: https://x.com/PalestineRCS/status/1714956642314338699?s=20 They need to immediately cease bombing babies, women, children, the elderly, churches, bakeries, humanitarian volunteer aid workers (e.g., ), and the West Bank  (e.g., ). PalestineRCS Dr Shtayyeh “The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956 It is completely unacceptable, and unequivocally evil and villainous. And they deserve the heavy condemnation they received from the international community at the United Nations summit in Cairo, which said just that. Even Putin, who is currently raging a war in Ukraine, and the Iran Ayatollah Qassim, who is an Islamic Republic, think Israel is too hardcore for them. Hypocrisy, and a performative contradiction yes, but a lie? No! Genocide and the Ethnic cleansing, of the Palestinian civilian population with collective punishment and maximized collateral damage, is a pure evil genocide of the innocent, that Israel IDF carried out to justify an open-air prison apartheid state in Gaza and the West Bank.
