“Seasteads cost money, and if you want to succeed as a Seastead you have to find ways to attract people to move there. If I was a billionaire I wouldn't want to move to a seastead, but if I was a member of the bottom billion, most of whom want to leave their dysfunctional governments, I might want to move to a seastead.” PeopleIfsWayWantGovernmentMightMovingCostSucceedMembersBottomBillionsBillionaire Author:Joe Quirk

“I think our children will be living on floating cities, and they will look back on the 20th Century, when people lived in primitive governments founded in previous centuries, and they will be living on modular, sustainable, floating cities that we can't imagine now, that are based on the voluntary choice of citizens. I think we will have a marvellous world in the 21st Century.” PeopleThinkingWorldLooksChildrenGovernmentChoicesCitiesImagineCenturyCitizensOur ChildrenPrimitive21st Century20th CenturyFloatingLiving OnMarvellous Author:Joe Quirk
