Immortalis: The Great Experiment of Our Time
In this defining speech to the Neothink Society, Mark Hamilton presents the case he intends to carry to world leaders: why the Prime Law is the missing foundation that takes anarcho-capitalism off the pages of theory and into reality for the first time in human history. Hamilton rebrands the concept as Prime Law Capitalism, governance without government, order without higher authority, and declares Immortalis the 21st-century successor to the American experiment.
Quick answer
What Makes Immortalis the Great Experiment?
Every civilization in history has been built on the same foundation: a higher authority granted the power to initiate force on the people. From laissez-faire capitalism to communism, every form of government plants the seed of initiatory force, and that seed always grows, eventually destroying the nation. Free countries last, on average, 250 years.
Anarcho-capitalism, a civilization with no higher authority, has been theorized for over 50 years (Murray Rothbard, 1972) but never actualized. The reason: it has no mechanism for order. Without order, you get chaos. But with government, you plant the disease. The Prime Law solves this puzzle. It provides self-governance under the natural law of protection, complete order without any higher authority granted to man. Hamilton calls this Prime Law Capitalism: the first constitution in history that does one thing only, remove the negative.

The Disease of Mankind: Why Every Free Nation Dies
Hamilton opens with a sweeping historical claim: every civilization that has ever existed operates in the same dimension, under a government, under a higher authority granted the power to initiate force on the people. From laissez-faire capitalism (the lowest level of force) through democratic republics, democracies, socialism, monarchies, dictatorships, fascism, communism, and theocracies, over a dozen forms of government, all sharing one thing: the power of initiatory force.
Hamilton calls initiatory force the disease of mankind. The disease grows through the rule of man, whoever holds the granted power of force, and it steadily takes over, eventually killing the nation. America is his primary example: launched as laissez-faire capitalism, the freest system in history, yet even that planted the seed of higher authority. That seed grew over 250 years into a massive bureaucracy. Hamilton sets the measurement stick at Franklin D. Roosevelt: before FDR, America’s prosperity curve soared upward; after FDR, it was yanked back down by the expanding rule of man.
The pattern is universal. Free countries last 200 to 300 years before collapsing under growing authority. Hamilton predicts the same fate for today’s freest zones: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Dubai. He already sees the disease beginning to spread in Singapore and Dubai. Without a cure, without the elimination of the disease itself, the cycle repeats endlessly.
Initiatory force is the disease; rule of man is how it spreads. Every form of government grants some person, group, or institution the power to initiate force on the people. Even the most limited government plants this seed. The seed grows. The nation dies. The cycle has repeated for millennia without exception.
The Order Problem: Why Anarcho-Capitalism Never Happened
Hamilton asks the question that has haunted libertarian theory for decades: if freedom clearly produces prosperity, as demonstrated by early America, South Korea vs. North Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong vs. mainland China, Singapore and Dubai, why have we never gone all the way to pure freedom? Why has anarcho-capitalism remained on the pages of Murray Rothbard’s For a New Liberty (1972) for over 50 years without ever being actualized?
The answer, Hamilton argues, is order. Every civilization needs order. Even the most ardent libertarian, even Ayn Rand herself, acknowledged this. You must have governance. But governance has always meant government, a higher authority granted the power of force. And that power of force, no matter how limited, is the seed of destruction.
This is the puzzle: How do you govern without government? How do you bring authority without higher authority? It seems contradictory, even impossible, which is precisely why no country has ever tried anarcho-capitalism. It has a very real sense of no order, of chaos. Hamilton says this is the missing piece that kept the most beautiful form of civilization trapped in theory.
“Anarcho-capitalism has been conceptualized, idealized, but never actualized. It is a puzzle with a missing piece.”
The Missing Piece: Self-Governance Under Natural Law
The Prime Law is Hamilton’s answer to the order problem. It provides self-governance under the fundamental natural law of protection. No person, no group, no government is granted higher authority. Yet there is complete order, because every dispute is settled by the Prime Law itself. The natural law of protection governs civilization, not man.
Hamilton draws on the concept of natural law, the philosophical tradition that influenced America’s founding fathers through John Locke. The founding fathers were heavily influenced by natural law and wove it throughout their founding documents. Hamilton believes they were searching for the Prime Law. They came close, but under enormous pressure to hold the new nation together, they settled for the Bill of Rights, adding positives instead of removing the negative.
The Prime Law is what they were looking for. It is the first constitution in history to do one thing and one thing only: remove initiatory force. Everything else, commerce, dispute resolution, community, innovation, takes care of itself through the power of pure capitalism. Hamilton calls this the antithesis of force: not a government that limits force, but a foundation that banishes it.
The Prime Law is the master puzzle piece that brings anarcho-capitalism from theory into practice. It provides order without higher authority. Governance without government. Rule without rule of man. For the first time, the most beautiful form of civilization can be built in the real world.
Prime Law Capitalism: The Final Evolution
Hamilton announces a rebranding. Going forward, he is advancing the term anarcho-capitalism to Prime Law Capitalism. The reasoning is precise: anarcho-capitalism is incomplete. It is an economic theory without a foundation to build upon. The word anarcho suggests chaos, no order, lawlessness, the very thing that has prevented it from ever being tried. Prime Law Capitalism corrects this. It names the foundation that makes pure capitalism possible.
Hamilton frames this as the final evolution of laissez-faire capitalism. Laissez-faire capitalism was the freest system ever tried, but it was impure, it still planted the seed of initiatory force through limited government. Prime Law Capitalism removes all impurities. No seeds of initiatory force are planted. No higher authority is granted to any person, group, or government. The disease of mankind has no entry point.
The result is an economy where the beautiful upward prosperity curve, the one that characterized early America before Franklin D. Roosevelt, doesn’t get yanked back down by the anti-civilization. This time, Hamilton says, it just keeps soaring to the heavens. The greatest values rise while their costs rapidly drop in this unburdened economy. Pure freedom produces pure prosperity.
The evolution of anarcho-capitalism into an actualized system. Prime Law Capitalism is pure capitalism built on the Prime Law foundation, self-governance through the natural law of protection, with no higher authority granted to any person, group, or government. It is the first economic system that eliminates the disease of initiatory force entirely, making freedom permanent rather than temporary.
111 Words vs. Billions of Pages
Hamilton draws a striking contrast. The volume of laws, regulations, and litigation in the American government measures in the billions of pages. Immortalis, even if it grew to the size of America, would always answer to 111 words, the Prime Law.
This is Thomas Paine’s insight from Common Sense made permanent: complexity leads to corruption. The more complex a government becomes, the more opportunities exist for fraud, abuse, and the concentration of power. Hamilton points to DOGE, the ongoing effort to expose fraud, abuse, and waste in the American government, as proof of what complexity produces. Simplicity, by contrast, preserves freedom.
The Prime Law maintains simplicity forever. No matter how complex Immortalis itself becomes, how many citizens, how many industries, how many innovations, the governing principle always remains simple, clear, and clean. Hamilton calls this eternal simplicity: 111 words that can never be corrupted because there is nothing to corrupt. No agencies to capture, no regulations to manipulate, no bureaucracy to expand. Just one natural law of protection.
America’s billions of pages of law are the result of complexity compounding over 250 years. Every regulation creates a new opportunity for corruption, which creates a new regulation, in an endless spiral. The Prime Law breaks this spiral permanently. 111 words. No expansion possible. Simplicity is not a starting point that degrades, it is the permanent foundation.
America Was the 18th Century. Immortalis Is the 21st.
Hamilton positions Immortalis as the direct successor to the American experiment. America was the 18th-century great experiment in self-governance. It proved that freedom produces prosperity, but it also proved that limited government is not enough, the seed of force still grows. Immortalis is the 21st-century correction: the same experiment, taken to completion.
The pitch to world leaders is built on this framing. Hamilton reveals his upcoming meeting with Javier Milei, president of Argentina, through Jose Cordero. He learned that Milei is personally immortality-oriented, putting them on a “soulmate basis” for the meeting. Hamilton credits Milei with planting the idea that led to DOGE (downsizing the American government) and proposes that Argentina could once again beat America to the next breakthrough: hosting the world’s first Prime Law free zone.
The economic case is compelling. Hamilton points to Jose Cordero’s research showing that the anti-aging industry will become the world’s largest industry. Imagine, Hamilton says, the influx of wealth and brilliance to any host country of an Immortalis free zone. Billionaire investors, Peter Thiel, Larry Ellison, Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg, whose deepest passion is to not die, would pour resources into the one jurisdiction that removes the regulatory barriers holding back their longevity research.
“America was the 18th-century great experiment. Immortalis is the 21st-century great experiment.”
Hamilton is writing a book to present this case: Immortalis: Moving Beyond Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai. He acknowledges the title sounds arrogant, but argues the economics support it. The common denominator of those zones is freedom. Immortalis surpasses them with pure freedom. Once launched, Hamilton says, Immortalis will be immortal, beyond the reach of politicians, bureaucrats, and the administrative state, because the people will love it so much that no one can stop it. He calls it the beautiful society and the miracle on Earth.
Immortalis Goes Public: The Prospera Announcement
Wallace Hamilton (Mark’s son and Immortalis representative) reports on the first public presentation of Immortalis at Prospera, a charter city on the island of Roatan, Honduras. Within Prospera, a pop-up city called Infinita hosted an event bringing together people building free zones, autonomous zones, governance infrastructure, and blockchain-based systems from around the world.
Before this event, nobody in the free-zone world knew who Immortalis was. Wallace delivered a 15-minute talk that he describes as unapologetic: this is who we are, this is what we’re going to do, and nothing is going to stop us. The response was immediate, audience members cheered during the talk, and afterward, people sought out deeper conversations. Immortalis went from unknown outsider to being taken seriously in a single presentation.
Wallace describes meeting representatives from Liberland, the grandsons of Sealand’s founder, people unlocking free zones in Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and the United States, plus infrastructure builders designing architecture for structures on the moon and Mars, governance platform developers working on blockchain voting systems, and investors. All the pieces to build a new civilization were represented at that event.
The most significant shift: Wallace reports that his thinking has moved from if to when. He and Cody Dean are now reaching out to biotech companies and medical industry firms to relocate or open new locations in a Prime Law zone. The focus is on building a viable business model to present to the host country, proving that Immortalis can execute quickly and attract real investment.
Wallace’s shift from “if we get a zone” to “when we get a zone” marks a phase transition for Immortalis. The question is no longer whether it can happen but which companies will be the first to relocate, which biotech firms will operate under pure freedom, and which host country will capture the economic windfall.
What This Means for You
Hamilton frames this speech as the defining talk, the one that will be shown to important outsiders to distinguish Immortalis from every other freedom project. The distinction is the Prime Law. Other chartered cities and free zones offer degrees of freedom, but they all retain some form of higher authority. Only Immortalis proposes to eliminate initiatory force entirely, to build, for the first time, a civilization in a completely new dimension.
For members of the Neothink Society, the call to action is clear. You understand the unbreakable equation. You have seen through the illusion pollution that keeps civilizations trapped in the cycle of force. You know why every philosophy before Neo-Tech failed. Now, as Immortalis goes public and growth accelerates, you become the bridge, carrying the philosophical foundation to every freedom-minded person you know.
The great experiment of our time is not theoretical. The economic case is being written. The connections are being made. The host country conversations are underway. And the Prime Law, 111 words, the simplest constitution in history, is the foundation upon which it all stands.
For millennia, every civilization has existed in the same dimension: under a higher authority granted the power of force. Immortalis is the first to step outside that dimension entirely. Not less force. Not limited force. Zero force. Prime Law Capitalism, the great experiment of our time.
Frequently asked questions

What is Prime Law Capitalism?
Prime Law Capitalism is Hamilton’s evolution of anarcho-capitalism into an actualized system. It is pure capitalism built on the Prime Law foundation, self-governance through the natural law of protection, with no higher authority granted to any person, group, or government. It eliminates the disease of initiatory force entirely, making freedom permanent rather than temporary.
Why has anarcho-capitalism never been tried?
Because it has no mechanism for order. Every civilization needs order, but traditional order requires government, a higher authority with the power of force. Without the Prime Law, anarcho-capitalism appears chaotic and lawless. The Prime Law solves this by providing self-governance under natural law, complete order without higher authority.
What is the disease of mankind?
Initiatory force. Hamilton argues that every form of government, from laissez-faire capitalism to communism, grants some person or institution the power to initiate force on the people. This is the seed that grows through rule of man, eventually destroying every nation. Free countries last, on average, 250 years before this disease kills them.
How is Immortalis different from other free zones?
Other chartered cities and free zones offer degrees of freedom but retain some form of higher authority. Only Immortalis proposes to eliminate initiatory force entirely through the Prime Law as its sole constitution, 111 words that provide order through natural law rather than through any granted authority.
What happened at the Prospera event in Roatan?
Wallace Hamilton delivered Immortalis’s first public presentation at a free-zone event in Prospera, Honduras. The audience cheered during the talk, and afterward Immortalis went from unknown outsider to being taken seriously. Wallace made connections with people building free zones across Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and the United States.
Why does Hamilton compare Immortalis to the American experiment?
America was the 18th-century experiment in self-governance. It proved freedom produces prosperity but also proved that limited government still plants the seed of force. Immortalis is the 21st-century correction: the same experiment taken to completion, with all initiatory force eliminated rather than merely limited.
