What would be the benefit of large scale underwater transportation and living?
I suppose if the surface became uninhabitable, or if we wanted to hide from space-based surveillance.
- bboygravity 3y agoNice radiation shielding in case the earth poles reverse. I can't think of anything better.
- rvnx 3y agoOr in case submarines launch nuclear warheads, then the people living under water would actually be the ones surviving (for some time)
- pram 3y agoPerfect place to build your anarcho-capitalist utopian city without government interference.
- datameta 3y agoThat would be quite a shock to biology

- drewcoo 3y agoMost of our planet is underwater and barely explored. And most of the region isn't really claimed. By countries or individuals in those countries. The long-term benefits of exploration are often in the tools to solve the problems with the exploring. Tang and Velcro and microwave ovens are minor examples - I bet you can think of better things the space program gave us! Overall, it's s greater good for society and it spawns lots of specialized businesses and innovation. It's not the destination; it's the journey. The ocean may not be "the final frontier" (nods to Roddenberry), but that seems like an appropriate "next frontier."

- marcosdumay 3y agoThere's no lack of living space. What we lack is living space in transportation range of interesting places.
- Jensson 3y agoMy example shows that the sea would open up a lot of new space near interesting places. People bunch up at coasts, you could bunch up more people around coasts if some of them lived underwater.
