Interest
- Level of interest in seasteading
- Might want to move someday
- Timeline for seasteading
- 1-5 years
- What kind of society are you interested in living in?
- <p>It would be interesting to be able to have a group in international waters, whether an individual family or an entire society, attaining some level of self-sufficiency and autonomy, developed without an overwhelming expense to build and maintain comfortably.</p>, <p>I was researching self-sustainability for yachting when I came across seasteading. I live in Bermuda, a tiny island in the middle of the Atlantic without anything nearby. There would be a tremendous impact if the results of this project could be used near this island.</p>, <p>The type of societies that develop out of seasteading should be quite interesting to see. I am beginning to look at democratic socialism, and can appreciate libertarianism in general, also, ideas like direct democracy using real-time technology and the availability of free education at any level.</p>

The onion is the pride and joy of Bermuda. It is her jewel, her gem of gems. In her conversation, her pulpit, her literature, it is her most frequent and eloquent figure. In Bermuda metaphor it stands for perfection-perfection absolute.
The Bermudian weeping over the departed exhausts praise when he says, "He was an onion!" The Bermudian extolling the living hero bankrupts applause when he says, "He is an onion!" The Bermudian setting his son upon the stage of life to dare and do for himself climaxes all counsel, supplication, admonition, comprehends all ambition, when he says, "Be an onion!"
Mark Twain
