On XEdit

2017Edit

If, like me, you're obsessed w/ small nearly inaccessible islands like St. Helena in the S. Atlantic, this is great: https://t.co/Qw2ojsIYfc

12:52 AM Ā· Mar 14, 2017

2018Edit

Some of us are obsessed w/ St. Helena, Tristan da Cunha and Ascension islands in the south Atlantic because of their beauty & preposterous level of isolation.

If so, @KUDOS_info actually shot a music video on St Helena, the prettiest of these lost worlds: https://t.co/O8tsdcH7Bb

11:46 PM Ā· Oct 26, 2018

@KUDOS_info You gotta tell me more about this.

How does one just end up there for 4 years?

Is it as beautiful and reasonably complete as a mini world as it seems?

What is the effect on culture from isolation?

DM me please. Dying to visit.

1:40 PM Ā· Oct 27, 2018

@STHELENANEWS1 @KUDOS_info So, make it happen: fly us out & I’ll livestream your praises from Tasty Bites in Half-Tree, Anne’s Place in Jamestown or even that heart shaped waterfall of yours. Stop messing around. Let’s tell the world SH is magic.

You can’t live off Napoleon forever. Your move St Helena..

12:09 AM Ā· Oct 28, 2018

@KUDOS_info @JasonElander You going?

7:58 AM Ā· Sep 02, 2020


@sthelenatourism Stop teasing me @sthelenatourism. You know you want me to share your secret with the world. Are you not the ultimate Seastead? Shouldn’t you be building a world of entrepreneurs on that isolated paradise? Don’t send me to a website. Send me to the S. Atlantic via Airlink. Woo me.

3:03 PM Ā· Oct 31, 2018

@sthelenatourism Hold a conference to explore what could be done on St Helena to make it the ultimate destination hideaway for the world’s most adventurous minds to create new industries, ideas and technologies. Invite my friends. What would Saul Solomon do in 2018? Stretch.

Your move St Helena.

3:08 PM Ā· Oct 31, 2018

2020Edit

My favorite island (if you don’t count Sulawesi) is commemorating the one thing that folks know about it...if they know anything at all.

But it is really a freakishly wonderful miniature world. Would love to put St Helena on the map for the spectacular remote anomaly that it is!

11:28 PM Ā· May 05, 2020

@DohoGg Isn’t it fairly warm there?

7:58 AM Ā· Sep 02, 2020


Happy St Helena Day to all the friends I’ve never met in the middle of the South Atlantic. Your isolated yet complete world in miniature has been in my thoughts for decades.

I must find a way to visit you. Be well.

7:08 AM Ā· May 21, 2020


@Digenes_Akrites I think Pitcairn and Tristan da Cunha are slightly too small and insular long term although both are beautiful and fascinating. St Helena is just the size of a miniature world.

6:02 PM Ā· Aug 03, 2020

@brookedallas Some say his real name back in the Seychelles was Oogway.

6:04 PM Ā· Aug 03, 2020

@GradyPenning Not focused on him. It’s the island.

6:05 PM Ā· Aug 03, 2020

@brookedallas Well, he is 187 years old so it’s not fair to pull up old pictures...

6:08 PM Ā· Aug 03, 2020

@nuanceislost I’ve been to Sulawesi. Never to St Helena.

6:23 PM Ā· Aug 03, 2020

@SeljakPravi Been.

6:25 PM Ā· Aug 03, 2020

@NickDharmadi Well, it’s beyond beautiful in Torajaland where I spent most of my visit. But south western Sulawesi is all pretty astounding. And id love to explore the diving around manado in the north.

6:27 PM Ā· Aug 03, 2020

@Crangle That’s a great one. Naturalist?

7:31 PM Ā· Aug 03, 2020

@CaitlinPacific @GadSaad Oh honey. If we’re gonna go Irish, let’s step it up a bit. As my heart belongs to Rockall:

The Portal Podcast wishes to raise the profile of St Helena in the South Atlantic as one of the world’s most interesting destinations. If you are on St. Helena and interested, please DM?

Or invite our team for a beer at Donny’s, Rosie’s or Anne’s to discuss. Either way. Thanks.

3:23 AM Ā· Aug 10, 2020

@lukeburgis I have never been there physically.

@Alexihkal Not the Real Sasha of course...but I met his widow once.

7:09 AM Ā· Aug 10, 2020

@sydbarrett1965 @PamelaParesky Well, Half Tree Hollow, Jamestown, Longwood, St Paul’s, and Alarm Forest don’t look half bad.

8:19 AM Ā· Aug 13, 2020


@sthelenapodcast How does one become a guest on this podcast?

8:41 PM Ā· Aug 27, 2020


The number of hours during COVID that I have spent actively daydreaming about escaping to St Helena is not insignificant:

https://t.co/tKzWQ1rkEG

5:16 AM Ā· Sep 02, 2020

@DohoGg They do at Anne’s Place just off Castle Gardens in Jamestown.

7:47 AM Ā· Sep 02, 2020

@ngriffin360 The interior is too inaccessible. Otherwise: yes.

7:48 AM Ā· Sep 02, 2020


Happy Carnival to all the good folks in Jamestown!

St Helena is a complete miniature world that has escaped COVID-19.

I adopted it as my COVID fantasy escape & learned so much more about during quarantine. How it escaped world fascination is itself fascinating.

Beautiful Isle.

7:39 PM Ā· Nov 01, 2020

@difmeister You’ve been? You are there now?

8:34 PM Ā· Nov 01, 2020

@sthelenatourism Where on island is this shot?

10:21 AM Ā· Nov 20, 2020

@njfoster @sthelenatourism Thank you Neil!

11:05 AM Ā· Nov 20, 2020


The reason I ask is that I want to know how many different uncorrelated populations we have on earth were an absolute pandemic to arrive...thinking of Covid as a forerunner to that. For the most part most all of us seem to be part of one mega experiment.

Not a great strategy...

6:07 AM Ā· Dec 01, 2020

St Helena in the south Atlantic remains Covid free to the best of my knowledge. It has over four thousand souls on island.

Q1: How many land masses are inhabited by more than 100 people and have been COVID Free for all of 2020?

Q2: What is the largest such population?

2021Edit

Love listening to this modern spin on the aging legacy technology of radio given by Radio Garden.

Here’s remote Saint FM in the middle of nowhere in the south Atlantic; the heart of Jamestown St Helena, broadcasting to the world. [My favorite island is crazy for country music.]

2:22 PM Ā· Mar 15, 2021


Prince Philip visited St Helena on Tue. January 22nd 1957.

He expressed concern about the island’s economic dependence on Flax. He did not stay the night.

The most romantic/isolated part of what is left of empire, and he ate & ran? Never got that.

RIP

Let me also add that as an American, I am not at all caught up on the royal fam. I recognize the symbolic importance of the monarchy, but we are kind of against the concept of royalty on principle. As a result, I personally have almost no association with the Duke, good or bad.

5:02 PM Ā· Apr 09, 2021

@njfoster Wow. Just wow.

7:17 PM Ā· Apr 09, 2021

@EverywhereTrip How was it?

8:20 PM Ā· Sep 01, 2021


I want to thank my buddy @njfoster on the super remote island of St Helena for sending me some of the rarest and tastiest coffee in the world.

And thank you to a small island in the South Atlantic keeping Green Tipped Bourbon Arabica growing from the 1700s when Solomon’s began!

COVID destroyed Napoleonic anniversary tourism this year.

I believe that this may be a photo from 100 years ago tomorrow of commemoration of the 100 year anniversary of Naploean’s death on the marvelous truly remote island of St Helena.

Eager to see what the Saints do @ 200yrs.

6:45 PM Ā· May 04, 2021

@EverywhereTrip Cool! Link to your adventures there?

10:25 PM Ā· May 04, 2021


@STHELENANEWS1 How can we help?

10:24 PM Ā· May 04, 2021


Happy St Helena Day to the amazing island and islanders of St Helena in the middle of the South Atlantic!

This is 200 yrs this year since Napoleon died in the Longwood district of St Helena. SH needs our tourism. Got to get over there...whadyathink: should we go? Gorgeous place.

7:14 PM Ā· May 21, 2021


It’s not that I’m not interested in stewardship of planet earth. It’s that we can’t rid ourselves of people who should *never* have power achieving god-like ability to screw up everything. Like the @EcoHealthNYC and/or PRC may have with their virus tinkering god-complex in Wuhan.

11:50 PM Ā· Oct 22, 2021

COVID could be climate destruction. It could be ocean poisoning. It could be nuclear fallout. It represents how what happens in one location will no longer stay there. It will get everywhere.

At this point we have physics, rockets & isolation if we want to avoid one shared fate.

11:50 PM Ā· Oct 22, 2021

What do PostEinsteinian physics, @elonmusk’s Mars agenda & the still COVID-free super remote Island of St Helena have in common?

COVID is a test showing there to be almost no true diversity on šŸŒ left. They are 3 paths to escaping our shared fate when our human leaders screw up.

11:50 PM Ā· Oct 22, 2021

I’m overjoyed that St Helena has made it this far with 5k souls, flights, shipping & no Covid. But their strategy can work with viruses in a way it cannot with nuclear fallout. Plus, they’re not truly self sufficient in any way.

The rich planning escapes aren’t thinking clearly.

11:50 PM Ā· Oct 22, 2021

So that’s a large part of why tiny St Helena, @SpaceX and theoretical physics should be watched by all of us. I’m happy if Elon puts his eggs in SpaceX but if he is serious about what he says on saving humans, it is crazy not to save all of theoretical physics as a side project.

11:50 PM Ā· Oct 22, 2021

That leaves post-Einsteinian physics. And our theoretical physics community isn’t really even doing fundamental physics anymore as a focus of research. They do physics adjacent mathematics and call it physics if they want to be employed and keep their jobs. And no one steps in.

11:50 PM Ā· Oct 22, 2021

I’m not against @elonmusk’s rocket agenda. Super impressive.

But I totally disbelieve we are going to terraform Moon and/or Mars anytime soon using rockets. And if we do? We simply get two more spheres with rockets to safeguard the only know intelligent conscious life we know.

11:50 PM Ā· Oct 22, 2021

Stewardship has so-far worked w/ @StHelenaGovt and Covid. It’s just very extreme and hasn’t been effective at isolating larger land masses. Good luck trying to stop billions of people around the world tinkering with the twin nuclei of Cell & Atom as they get easier to manipulate.

11:50 PM Ā· Oct 22, 2021

So I hope this explains why, in part, I’m focused on physics, but am also keen on St Helena and @spacex / @elonmusk as well. I even care about people trying to upload us into silicon. Everyone working on diversifying away from a shared fate has my admiration. No matter how crazy.

11:50 PM Ā· Oct 22, 2021

We need our physics community to work with 4 dimensional, 1+3 signature three generation models again and to stop pretending that they are doing physics when they work exclusively on toy models over a career. And we need to insulate them. It’s insane to nickel & dime our top 🧠s.

11:50 PM Ā· Oct 22, 2021

@Liv_Boeree I’d look at @peterwoit, @garrettlisi, @stephen_wolfram, Nima, @DavidDeutschOxf, @FQXi, @penrose, @JulianBarbour, myself and others who are trying new things. @DrBrianKeating and Curt Jaimangul are talking about this on their podcasts. @skdh seeks to be a counterweight to hype.

1:25 AM Ā· Oct 23, 2021


St Helena. Still Covid free.

Moral: there’s (almost) no diversity on Earth. We are all in one giant experiment now with shared fate. Whatever happens in Vegas (or Wuhan or Chernobyl…) won’t stay there anymore.

It is past time to diversify off this sphere before it’s too late.

7:58 AM Ā· Nov 01, 2021

And for those new to this issue I don’t mean Mars. And I don’t mean let’s stop caring about earth.

If we don’t solve post-Einstein physics we aren’t likely going anywhere good. And even if we do, there’s no guarantee it helps.

Take care of earth, but look for the exit. Now.

8:25 AM Ā· Nov 01, 2021

@b01dface It’s not about COVID obviously. It’s about X where X could be disease, radiation, climate, shortages, Revolution, etc. Everything spreads. Covid is simply proof of concept. What started in Wuhan got everywhere. Almost…

An interesting decision. One of the last permanently inhabited ā€œfirst worldā€ settlements on earth to have avoided COVID, has just **decided** to open up by ending its mandatory quarantine on all new arrivals.

Welcome to post-COVID life on earth, to the ā€œSaintsā€ of St Helena.

7:23 AM Ā· Aug 09, 2022

I think what he captivated me is that the island bucked the world trend.

They made full use of their radical isolation. They held and kept a strict rule that was costly. And they succeeded until now to keep their entire island uncorrelated with the rest of our infected world.šŸ‘

7:27 AM Ā· Aug 09, 2022

If I were to try to steelman what I find odd about Musk's position, I would say that anyone this smart is tempted to use Mars and Rockets to make "Interplanetary" *not* sound like "Interstellar".

Perhaps I have been uncharitable if this is the case. It seemed self-evident to my mind that anyone smart enough to be able to see the necessity of moving to interplaentary objectives would gamble mostly on post-Einsteinian physics and not rockets as the Moon and Mars are totally inadequate to diversify our risk and that rockets get us little else.

But maybe the issue is that Musk truly understands people and that he has found the best argument to make interplanetary not sound insane. I admit, that I never considered that the point of SpaceX is a gateway to getting normal people to dream about what I have termed "restoring an indefinite human future" which was lost due to thermonuclear innovations of the 1950s.

If humans were rational, a "go for broke" emphasis on finding the theory or theories beyond General Relativity would be our top priority. But somehow this apparently makes no sense to ordinary people who cannot contemplate that the speed of light may not be the last word in a larger theory that contains GR as an effective limit in the sense of field theory.

I listened to this and wondered: is it simply so hard to imagine interplanetary human life as a top funding priority for ordinary people, that Musk has worked backwards from people and not forward from 'interstellar'? After all, his idea of making dorky electric cars cool by emphasizing speed was more about people's cognitive distortions around making EV not sound like golf carts or boring battery specifications.

The thing I never understood was Musk's own zero allocation to post-Einsteinian physics. The best I can figure under this rubric is that someone could believe that the optimal research strategy is to first make make planetary diversification to avoid extinction sound as normal as possible. Mars already sounds crazy and he is clearly struggling here to make the world's most important point.

Sorry to bother many of you with this digression. But I was just touched by how hard it was for him obviously struggling to find any way possible to make such an important point seem sensible. If I have gotten him wrong on this point, then I understand better why he avoids interstellar post-einsteinian physics.

Said differently, perhaps he has figured out that man's first priority is convincing his fellow man that the only sane strategy for long term human survival through diversification is to make the sane goal of interstellar diversification not sound crazy to the people at scale.

Maybe I was wrong. Maybe this is a difference in strategies and that "Occupy Mars" is syntatic sugar for ordinary humans who cannot contemplate interstellar diversification outside of a movie theater. If so, I understand where the difference in emphasis lies.

I may still disagree given my perception of the urgency, but I never considered the idea before seeing this clip. Which, under any circumstance, was my mistake.

I don’t think that is right. That is the argument that sounds slightly right. If a grizzly bear is starting to snarl from 100 meters, I don’t pick up and comit to the first twig I see. I scan the forest floor and environment while there is still time to think.

But thanks. I got your point.

@DrBrianKeating Since Saint Helena is a great isolated island to practice making a small colony truly independent on a terraformed Mars, why is he not there practicing?

That is not the point my friend. See what I did there? It is a portfolio problem With many zero allocations to be explained.

For those of you who follow me for St Helena Island content: @saintfmradio is apparently shuttering on Friday Nov 8th. Mike Olsson, the flamboyant trouble maker, muckraker, island character and SaintFM founder is apparently stricken with a terminal illness. This is an enormous loss to the wonderful people of this tiny island community.

My best thoughts to Mike, his family and the Wonderful People of SaintFM at this time. Thank you for being wonderful hosts and great interviewers every time I stopped by.

You truly are the beating heart of Jamestown and St Helena and made a huge impression on this visitor. šŸ™

@JamieBell116 It’s insane. Apparently you aren’t supposed to get a nightmare diagnosis or shutter a business during an election.

People are losing their minds.

Thank you.
