Is Sea-Steading a Reality or Libertarian Fantasy?

[@HandSolitude]

There's a reason why cruise ships get scrapped after 20-30 years. Maintaining them gets uneconomical. The same thing would happen to seasteads sadly.

[@jovanleon7]

What makes you think sea steading properties would be made with the same materials as cruise ships?

[@Libertaro-i2u]

Actually the main reason cruise ships are trashed every few decades is because selling the same experiences to the same passengers becomes not profitable after a while. Besides, there are some floating structures that have been around since at least World War Two, and many of them are still technically usable.

The seastead in Panama grows coralcrete, the same material which seashells are made of. It should allow the seastead to last a century. The seastead in Indonesia is made of marine grade aluminum. See my presentation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2O8n3WoiKmgpac

[@Libertaro-i2u]

The most viable format for seasteads would be the basic form that oil platforms or sea forts take. This way, the superstructure would be stable and the main habitation areas would be high enough for the worst waves to not utterly flood it.

[@antoniiocaluso1071]

GREAT Idea...IF the concept is created as a Community. Single units are unrealistic, for lots of reasons. Hope this grows!! btw...there ARE inland Lakes that would be GREAT for these, too, yes?!

[@raphlvlogs271]

can you build smaller sea steads on the inland lake in the Panama canal for experimental purposes before they go on to the ocean?

[@the_meccaneer]

You’re literally in the water and you’re not gonna use wave power?

[@sn5301679]

if you live on sea, you will prefer less wave and wind.

[@adventurousloner]

Yeah, seasteading. I want to skystead too.

[@kevinbryer2425]

They seem to have forgotten the "steading" part. What productive endeavor are they going to engage in to pay for all this? Seabed mining? Aquaculture?

[@gianpaulgraziosi6171]

Aquaculture or Human Capital.

[@WAWACreations]

All boat builders in Phuket are still experiencing the measures that were taken by the government after the building of the Seasted in Thailand. Not saying you were wrong but the government was of that opinion. As a result, all the yards in Phuket underwent a strict scrutiny to ensure no boat builder would ever build such a unit again in Thailand. So please wnsure the government is ok with ot first.

[@gianpaulgraziosi6171]

It’s the year 2180…global efforts to avoid 4°C have lasted a few decades….survivors of collapsed Brazil and Nigeria hug the equator. Seaweed salad and sardines for the brave.

[@entropyachieved750]

Absolutely stupid idea. For some many reasons where can we start. They power is coming from where? Where are they going thru the day? Think of how you live your life than imagine your stuck on one of these in the water. Absolutely a con

[@KnzyLab]

Say your slow without saying your slow? Whers the power gonna come from? Where are you gonna go? Do your research

[@entropyachieved750]

@KnzyLab well where is it going to come from clown? Where's your fresh water coming from? How about sewage? You going to have a tanker come and supply you every other week and take shit away? Sounds stupid

[@jimbothefrogman]

Where does the sewage go and rubbish?

[@begula_real]

For sure, directly to the sea

[@Goat_Sass]

Paris, London, Rome, etc...all major cities on a river has their sewage run down the river...what do you really think those places smell like? I was in Naples...it has a smell... They need to do away with plastic waste too. We all seen thise 3rd world rivers all blocked up.

[@baloog8]

​@@begula_real you can process and hydroponic that for fruit trees. Or have a seaweed farm nearby.

[@mattbosley3531]

That's the issue on water, getting rid of waste. It has to be transported back to land for treatment, composting, recycling or landfills.

[@baloog8]

@@mattbosley3531 you get some redworms and a few gallons of urea, you are set for 1+ years. It only needs 1 cubic meter per family of digestion space and becomes 99 percent pathogen free upon red worm processing. Then 100% pathogen free upon urea sprinkling to finish off. Empty every 6 months from the bottom and use directly in any garden beds or put directly into seaweed garden up to 3 days before harvest (gross factor only)

[@BornFreeFilms]

Gold plate them. Then they wouldn't corrode for hundreds of years. Or put a sleeve on the outside of the stand part and slide it down and weld it every 100 years? lol

[@JungLeeTheDoctor]

why not just get a boat?

[@begula_real]

@@JungLeeTheDoctor boat simply doesn't look that futuristic, they need a more selling model lol

[@JungLeeTheDoctor]

@@begula_real check out the hansteiger x1 or Arksen 65… boats these days are pretty futuristic looking

[@Libertaro-i2u]

@@JungLeeTheDoctor Not to mention, boats are still under the sovereignty of an existing nation-state even in international waters by international law. Boats also aren't designed for living indefinitely on the open ocean.

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

Absolutely impractical. But, hey, go for it. I will stick with dirt.

[@theotherohlourdespadua1131]

My two cents on the matter: the City of Rapture in Bioshock makes a lot more sense than these. Undersea habitation has a long list of successful attempts. It speaks more about how out of touch these so-called libertarians arewhen a fictional Libertarian has a better idea as to build their utopia...

[@Libertaro-i2u]

Though all the areas of the sea floor that can be built on without the pressure being too much are located in nation-states territorial waters. If you want to experiment with new governance systems and models, distant international waters is the place to go. For undersea habitats in international waters, the most viable option would be to have the settlement be neutrally buoyant so the pressure wouldn't be too high.

I believe this proposal presents a promising solution for marine conservation. By strategically deploying these structures, we can create artificial reefs that not only enhance biodiversity but also provide safe havens for marine species. Coral seeding initiatives beneath these structures could further bolster ecosystem health, fostering the growth of essential coral reefs. Over time, these efforts could significantly mitigate the impacts of overfishing and contribute to the repopulation of depleted marine wildlife. Ultimately, this approach offers a potential pathway towards the rewilding of underwater environments. By creating thriving marine ecosystems, we can not only protect biodiversity but also support sustainable fisheries and improve the overall health of our oceans.

Such a bullshit on nearly every layer. I can't imagine that these people can imagine that lot's of people can imagine to lose there money with such dumb ideas.

You have to try new ideas 💡 to move life and humanity further. People like you don't have innovative minds to at least try. Just complain
