I don't understand the rationale behind seasteading.
Basically, the idea is to make market-entry for sovereign powers easier. That will hopefully trigger a new wave of innovation in governments.
Authority pisses some people off. It's a way to tell authority to fuck off.
so is the idea to attract economic activity with stuff not allowed elsewhere? namely drugs, gambling, prostitution, lax taxes, and medical tourism?
If it became a particularly common practice I expect those industries would find their way in. But it certainly isn't the idea. The freedom itself is its own kind of power and the real motivation.
