Ep. 493 Why Greenland- Praxis, Military, Natural Resources

3 of 7 unpacks why Greenland has moved to the center of global attention: a mix of historical claims, Cold War-era bases, NORAD radar positioning, and the strategic pathway for intercontinental missiles. They trace American interest from WWII through Truman to Trump’s public mentions and the island’s continued military relevance.

The episode also explores Greenland’s natural wealth — lithium, rare earths, uranium and other minerals under the ice — and how those deposits factor into a tech-driven resource race with China and Russia. A major segment examines “Praxis” and venture-backed proposals (linked to figures like Peter Thiel and tech leaders) to build libertarian smart cities or testing grounds in sparsely populated areas, and why Greenland has been touted as an ideal site.

Key takeaways: Greenland’s importance is both military and economic; private tech capital and political maneuvering are accelerating interest; environmental, ethical and sovereignty questions complicate any acquisition; and the conversation ties into larger themes about future governance, consolidated power, and global competition. Sponsors and training notes are briefly mentioned.
