Elwar is a likable guy, but I've never understood his obsession with seasteading. I guess that, when you become super-rich, something screws up in your head and you become obsessed with pointless, impossible tasks. Risto Pietila comes to mind. It's sad, really. Trying to go against nature is a futile, pointless task, as is trying to go against the establishment without a feasible plan. Taking the law on your hands and setting up a seastead in the middle of the ocean is madness and delusion combined. IMHO.

What's worse is having the chance to do something extraordinary but being too afraid to take it.

Sad news really. You still need the insurance if the vessel doesn't move? Perhaps some RE insurance could apply? I'm sure there should be some way around this...

There's a point in that. In order to succeed you need to solve some real world problem not invent your own. On the other hand, some really innovative revolutionary ideas have been overlooked (including Bitcoin btw). Many bright pioneer inventors were considered to be crazy etc.

On the other hand, some really innovative revolutionary ideas have been overlooked (including Bitcoin btw). Many bright pioneer inventors were considered to be crazy etc. I totally agree with that, and I see nutildah's point too. But, IMHO, setting a seastead in the middle of the ocean is, like you said, inventing your own problems. I don't think it solves anything. It costs a lot, it's dangerous (almost deadly), it's far from a natural human habitat. Just imagine being there alone, or even with a partner (no question about having children there). What is the purpose of that, other than satisfying a selfish, almost perverted desire? Everyone is free to do whatever s/he likes, of course... As for "Satoshi" the ship, again, an interesting project (I may even have merited some of Elwar's posts about it, purely for his determination), but was it really worth it? It just seems pointless to me. Just like Risto's castle.
