• Seasteaders bring a Silicon Valley sensibility to the problem of governments not innovating sufficiently. Innovators are held back and stymied by existing regulations, and we want to give them 21st century regulations on start-up governments.

• La evolución es variación y selección. Si puedes variar alternativas y seleccionar entre ellas, surge la mejora. Funciona en la tecnología, en las aplicaciones y en la vida misma. Lo que me sorprendió del seasteading es que es una tecnología para la variación y la selección en la propia gobernanza. La razón por la que unos doscientos Estados-nación hacen un mal trabajo gobernando a siete mil millones de personas es que no varían y la gente no selecciona.

• Las Seasteads son islas artificiales que flotan permanentemente en el océano con cierta autonomía política. En esencia, serían sociedades startup en las que la gente podría formar el tipo de comunidad que quisiera.

• Seasteads are a technology for anybody to form an alternative community based on their unique values - for communities to organize themselves however they want. Seasteads are their chance to demonstrate their vision can work. All that matters is that people can create, join, and leave seasteads voluntarily. As long as people can choose among seasteads, the best ways of living together will prosper, and the ones that people don't like will fail.

• Creo que nuestros hijos vivirán en ciudades flotantes, y echarán la vista atrás al siglo XX, cuando la gente vivía en gobiernos primitivos fundados en siglos anteriores, y vivirán en ciudades modulares, sostenibles y flotantes que ahora no podemos imaginar, que se basan en la elección voluntaria de los ciudadanos. Creo que tendremos un mundo maravilloso en el siglo XXI.

• People can leave seasteads, or people can choose them, and people can create new seasteads if they want. This fluidity will engage an evolutionary market process that'll allow a diversity of societies to emerge that will in principle be superior, simply because people chose them. Governments on land don't allow this fluid dynamic of choice.

• Thinking about seasteading requires us to free ourselves of these broad political categories we're stuck with on land. People can make whatever community system they want on a seastead. What emerges will totally defy the broad categories we debate about now.

• Los estadounidenses son muy móviles, se desplazan y eligen las comunidades que quieren. En el océano, la gente se movería aún más y podría relacionarse con las personas que le gustan y alejarse de las que no. Aumentar la capacidad de elección es una forma de fomentar la satisfacción en la vida de las personas. Yo elijo a mis amigos y preferiría elegir también a mis vecinos.

• If seasteads advance blue-energy technologies, they'll create blue jobs. Millions of poor people living under exploitive governments are looking for a better choice. Seasteads won't attract them without offering them better options.

• I'm a novelist and science writer. I wrote a book about human impacts on marine mammals caused by agricultural drainage of nutrients on our coasts, and another book about evolution. Seasteading captivated me because it incorporates both evolution and environmental restoration.

• La primera seastead ocurrió hace quince siglos. El resultado fue la ciudad más bella del mundo, Venecia. La gente, harta de sus violentos gobiernos, huyó al agua, donde construyó una civilización sobre pilotes. Esa sociedad naciente -una ciudad-estado libre sobre el agua- tuvo tanto éxito que dominó el Mediterráneo durante mil años.

• Nearly half the earth's surface is unclaimed by any country, so seasteads would be startup countries on the blue frontier. Patri Friedman is a Google engineer and theorist of political economy who realized that if society floated, it would completely change the nature of governance itself. If seasteads are modular and can be moved about, allowing people to choose new societies, we'd create a market of governance providers, competing to attract residents.

• 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.

• Oil platforms are a technology for floating permanently on the high seas, and cruise ships are a technology for self-governance on the high seas, and if you combine these two technologies, imagine cruise ships that never dock but float permanently. Imagine if they were 10 times as big. Imagine if they were modular and could move about and you could choose the neighbours you wanted to live with.

• That's the marvellous thing about seasteads; if a government fails, there's nothing much the people who live there can do about it. But if seasteads fail, they simply disassemble and go away.
