Praxis, an ambitious $500 million initiative spearheaded by California-based innovator Dryden Brown, 29, is advancing plans to establish a groundbreaking, self-governing city powered by cutting-edge technology. The project aims to create a technologically advanced and economically dynamic hub, entirely independent in its operations.
Brown, the visionary behind Praxis, reports significant progress in securing a location for the futuristic metropolis, with advanced discussions currently underway. The core concept of Praxis is to foster a self-governing environment, driven by deregulation, particularly in the technology sector.
“We want to deregulate technology,” Brown reportedly stated, emphasizing a libertarian ethos for the project. “Praxians are far more intentional about finding projects that have deep meaning for them and are consistent with their values.”
The planned city envisions a unique architectural aesthetic, blending classical elements with space-age futurism to create a visually striking and unprecedented urban landscape. Praxis aims to attract driven and motivated individuals by providing them with state-of-the-art technology across various sectors, including transportation and high-speed internet, facilitating their professional and personal growth.
The project has garnered significant investor interest, including indirect investment from Peter Thiel through Pronomos Capital. A key attraction for investors is Praxis’s forward-looking vision, anticipating a future where advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics could reshape traditional workforces.
“If AI and robotics come along, then we don’t need huge workforces,” commented Sam Hammond, chief economist at the Foundation for American Innovation, regarding the potential of Praxis. “We could have a modernized city with fully self-driving cars and robot cops. It would be the high-tech version of a new world where you could start from scratch.”
Praxis envisions a self-sufficient urban environment, designed to be a high-tech “new world” where innovation and deregulation drive progress. While the exact location remains under wraps, the project continues to move forward, aiming to redefine urban living and technological advancement.
