Well, presumably being at sea in a non-stressful environment would have some chance of not causing that.
I'm not sure what such a thing really looks like, mind (luxury cruise passengers don't usually live on the boat long-term) or if it's feasible to talk about it within the space of current nautical engineering. I certainly have never been on a boat that didn't feel like a fairly controlled, sensitive environment in which one couldn't just relax without having to keep tabs on everything else, but my experience is limited to fishing, crabbing and similar boats, which are very high-stress environments if you're doing more than a quick excursion, especially in the waters I'm familiar with.
Recently the relatively awesome entrepreneur invested 1.25 million USD into this (seasteading institute website here).
It seems such a wonderful concept, finally somewhere where new forms of government could be tried out. But I'm just wondering how in the world they hope to deal with existing governments since their reaction to any kind of serious alternatives, especially one that either economically or ideologically presented a significant challenge, is bound to not be positive.
I was just wondering what LWer thoughts are on this matter? Also has there been any discussion of seasteading in the past that I've missed? Also I'm wondering if anyone would hazard to perhaps offer a prediction or judge how likley this is to succeed (maybe on predictionbook)?
