I had a notion years ago that, as climate change progresses, the rich might begin to inhabit floating platforms and perhaps even huge cruise ships, repurposed passenger liners, leaving the ordinary folk to eke a living from remaining resources on land, which will mostly be sold to the rich when they come into port. I wonder if seasteading is the first indication that the wealthy want to loose ties from us grubby lot and live the life they feel they can't within our politically entangled societies. They're deluded, no doubt, in the way so many idealists have traditionally been; their shared values won't prevent ideological fractures from forming, and now they'll all be stuck at sea together.
