Like I can tell ups to drop it off at a friend, give friend code to open and take something out, then have fedex pick it up and check it in to an airport storage locker. Then I can tell amazon to deliver something into that box that I pick up when I pass through that airport.

You could open a whole world of sharing too. Like my gym or workshop or telescope might each be a box. I might presently be somewhere I can’t use any of them. Make them rentable. Airbnb for stuff. In a box. Don’t even need to own or assemble myself. REIT the stuff.

This is really me trying to disrupt the idea of sedenterized civilization and reimagine nomadism Asia a way of life that’s NOT materially minimalist. Why *should* human mobility require material life to be crammed into a mongol yurt/caravan/RV?

Why can’t stuff — even mansion-scale stuff — move at the rare of humans? Why must humans slow themselves to the match the mobility of their stuff? Blitzlebensstil. Lightning lifestyle.

Blitzkrieg revolutionized war by moving humans at the speed of machines rather than slowing machines down to human marching pace. This could revolutionize peace by moving stuff at the speed of mobile citizens.
