Spreading Immortalis to World Leaders
In this wide-ranging address to the Neothink Society, Mark Hamilton traces the 50-year lineage of Immortalis, from Mike Oliver’s Republic of Minerva to Frank R. Wallace’s negotiations for sovereignty in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and reveals how the Prime Law is now being carried to world leaders, free-space communities, and political allies. Hamilton identifies the Prime Law as the “point of singularity” for civilization: the eternal simplicity that Thomas Paine and Henry Thoreau understood as the antidote to the corruption of complexity.
Quick answer
How Is Immortalis Reaching World Leaders?
Hamilton reveals a multi-pronged strategy. First, the business engine behind Immortalis is generating the momentum and credibility needed to approach heads of state. Second, the Neothink Society, now approaching 100,000 active readers, is becoming one of the world’s largest network states, giving it political weight. Third, Hamilton is building a Prime Law Coalition that unites libertarians, objectivists, anarcho-capitalists, and Neo-Tech advocates under a single common denominator: the Prime Law as a constitutional amendment.
The immediate target is Javier Milei, president of Argentina, who has expressed openness to radical governance experiments. Through Jose Cordero (author of The Death of Death), Hamilton’s team is arranging a meeting in Mexico City. The pitch: “America was an experiment. What if Argentina could be the next one?”

What is the 50-year history behind Immortalis?
Immortalis traces its lineage to Mike Oliver, a Holocaust survivor who founded the Republic of Minerva in the South Pacific, and Frank R. Wallace, who negotiated recognized sovereignty with the British government for land in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Though those early efforts didn’t reach completion, they established the philosophical and strategic foundation that Immortalis now builds upon.
What is the Prime Law Coalition?
A proposed alliance uniting libertarians, objectivists, anarcho-capitalists, constitutionalists, and Neo-Tech advocates under one common denominator: the Prime Law as a constitutional amendment. Instead of fighting initiatory force piecemeal, the coalition would eliminate it in one stroke through what Hamilton calls the 28th Amendment.
How does the Prime Law relate to Thomas Paine’s Common Sense?
Paine argued that government becomes corrupt in proportion to its complexity, that simplicity is eternal. Hamilton identifies the Prime Law as the ultimate expression of Paine’s insight: one sentence that eliminates initiatory force, serving as the “point of singularity” from which an entire free civilization naturally unfolds.
What is the connection between Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, and Neo-Tech?
Rand provided objectivism (individual rights and rational self-interest), Rothbard provided anarcho-capitalism (pure free markets without state monopoly on force), and Frank R. Wallace provided Neo-Tech (fully integrated honesty). The Prime Law synthesizes all three into one constitutional principle. Hamilton calls it the zenith of all three philosophies.
Why is Javier Milei being approached about the Prime Law?
Milei, as president of Argentina, has expressed openness to radical governance reform. Through Jose Cordero (author of The Death of Death), Hamilton’s team is proposing the Prime Law as a constitutional experiment, framing it as: “America was an experiment. What if Argentina could be the next one?”
What is a network state and how does the Neothink Society qualify?
A network state is a distributed nation connected not by contiguous territory but by shared philosophical commitment. With nearly 100,000 active readers globally, the Neothink Society is approaching the scale of one of the world’s largest network states, building the country from citizens up rather than borders down.
