The fact that most people interested in Seasteading are the kind of libertarians who think things like "building codes", "safety inspections", "occupational licensing of marine engineers" and "paying taxes to fund a water rescue service" are all unconscionable restrictions on their personal freedom is just the icing on the cake.

Such a drug-based culture might be quite the shock to the bio-logy.
