There’s been a bit of a buzz lately over seasteading, a libertarian project to develop practical floating habitats for people who want to form their own mini-governments in international waters.
The guiding principle is “dynamic geography” — the idea that if people don’t like their government, they can move to a different one. People can try out various different kinds of governments and social systems, to see what works for them.
I think that’s a really cool idea.
But am I the only one to see the huge glaring problem with the details of this particular implementation? How are people supposed to exercise their freedom of choice of government when they’re STUCK ON A FLOATING PLATFORM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN?
