We obviously live in a fluid the same as Aquaman. Except we can see, he'd just look at muddy water all day.
Humans have a very 2 dimensional mind, which makes us better than apes. We turn many variables into 2.
But we also lose out. There is no reason we can't have floating air cities except cost, which is less than a lot of things humans spend money on. For some reason everyone wants a floating city on Venus and not Earth.
Ocean farms are three dimensional, this has many advantages over land farming. Plus the ocean is most of the earth.
