Isn't this literally motivated by the same neo-fuedal oligarchical narcissism that made the bad guy in BioShock build essentially the same thing as this? Tell me one of these "seasteads" won't get hit by some speedboat pirates and decide OK, we're gonna arm up and hey why not build down? And you know what? No one's gonna say we can't do human experiments on our residents, so why not? As long as they sign their names to it.
Just stay in Palo Alto or whatever, and pay your god damned taxes. This is bleak, bleak stuff.
“Do I want to create the first venture-backed city-state? Hell yeah”
