Praxis has raised $500M to build a cybercity operating independently of any country but where will it be located?

Dryden Brown believes we are on the precipice of a brave new world and he wants to pioneer it. The 29-year-old has an audacious vision for a futuristic new city-state he’s planning to found, which will be called Praxis.“The city will be incredibly beautiful,” Brown told The Post.“The architecture will be a fusion of classical aesthetics.

We’re working on a fusion of gothic elements and space-age futurism.The architecture is going to be something you’ve never seen before.”Brown wants Praxis to be self-governing and completely independent of any other country or state and he claims he is in the advanced stages of talks to secure the land where he plans to found his new colony. Beyond the buildings, he also has ideas in mind for the type of people who will live there, adding, “If you were to walk through the city, you’d see people who are focused, who are in good shape, who are walking briskly with a sense of intensity and purpose.”The highest-speed internet will be everywhere and technology at its bleeding edge will thrive.

“We want to deregulate technology,” continued Brown.“Praxians are far more intentional about finding projects that have deep meaning for them and are consistent with their values.”Although Brown’s ideas may sound far-fetched and idealistic to some, he’s managed to get investors to buy in and claims to have a $500 million line of credit to get Praxis started.One of them, indirectly, is Peter Thiel. According to Brown, Thiel is an investor in Pronomos Capital which has invested in Praxis, although he adds, “beyond that, I can’t comment.”  Others who are interested in the idea see the potential for a bold leap forward into a “post-work” society, where humans leave all the mundane work to AI powered robots.“If AI and robotics come along, then we don’t need huge workforces,” Sam Hammond, chief economist at the Foundation for American Innovation, told The Post, speculating on Praxis. “We co...
