New Atlantis for Age of Aquarius, or Armageddon water fight?

Seasteading is the concept of creating permanent dwellings at sea, called seasteads, outside the territories claimed by the governments of any standing nation. In the recent past this idea was thought of as unlikely as Atlantis resurfacing. Be that as it may, wealthy investors such as Pay-Pal founder Peter Thiel continue to provide millions in funds for this to successfully happen on a large scale. The Seasteading Institute was founded in 2008 by Patri Friedman, an activist and theorist of political economy. The Institute focuses on three areas: building a community, doing research, and building the first seastead in the San Francisco Bay. In January 2009, The Seasteading Institute patented a design for a 200-person resort seastead, ClubStead, about a city block in size. ClubStead marked the first major development in hard seasteading engineering, from extensive analysis to simulations. Most proposed seasteads have been cruising vessels adapted for semi-permanent habitation. The closest things to a seastead that has been built so far are in fact large ocean-going ships. The main goal is to provide permanent living quarters for a small thriving economy, at least at first. The most questionable attribute of seasteading is the fact it evades all nation's laws. No one has created a state on the high seas that has been recognized as a sovereign nation. What can this mean for the all billionaire investors' agenda? Furthering normally banned medical practices? Unsupervised crime and punishment? Drug harvesting and distribution?

Predicted seasteading outcome.

Don't get me wrong, I am excited by this idea and think it was pretty much inevitable since land exploration ended and therefore the tightening, not expanding, of government in the world. Aside from the obvious potential problems it has, it seems to have a high positive outlook. I can't be the only one comparing it to the legend of Atlantis. At a much larger scale this could become something massive. If new government ideas arise out of just one of these mini oceanic colonies, it wouldn't take long for the majority of these "homesteads", then maybe even land countries, to adopt them. Since the new millennium people have been looking, even waiting, for something extraordinary to present itself and define it's new generation. Being on the cusp of the age of Aquarius, the water bearer, seasteading could be this age's first step towards a more free and open minded society.

Seasteading is estimated to launch it's first "colony" in seven years. Could this be man's worst mistake? Or will it turn out to be our most innovative idea ever? It definitely has it's faults that need to be figured out along the way. As long as it's safe, and doesn't promote or propagate evil, I think this can be a glorious new way of living life that nobody can turn down. Like America's founding fathers and their idea to not fuck up our last chance to inhabit something with the right laws, seasteading should be a similar process although more flexible. Most important to me, it will be the colonization of a place that doesn't already have a native culture....Unless you count USO's (Unidentified Submerged Objects).
