i often hear that argument that there must always be a “political sistem of some kind” but i think that is like a medival scolastic saying “there must be a border of the world” and sailships sailing out east instead or west will fall from it. In fact there is a “border of the world” but you can not reach it with a sailship. Equally there must always be a “negotiation of interests” when humans live together. But the conclusion this implies politics and guidlines, governance and controling, ruling and ruled classes, police forces, government agencies, etc…might be just a lack of imagination and technical implementation. I can imagine a “interchange of will” where every citicen on a dayly base gives agreement and rejection points to decisions, companies, people, media, products, production sites, etc.etc. – those entities would have an interest to avoid to be declared “most hated entity on the planet” and adapt their conduct without further guidlines and control sistems in place. In fact our world works very much that way already – but technolgies like blockchain and social media can refine that further in inimaginable ways – to an extent where ANY decision is made on base of public agreement and rejection points and politics as we know it now, becomes obsolete.
We become a tribe again – everybody is endorsed to speak when sitting around the fire, what the wisest elders say has weight in the community, when the decision is taken (by instant vote) everybody supports it because there is no better way to come to a wise and interest balanced decision. Technology gives us a handle to create a 6 billion member tribe and refine decision making processes.
My personal answer to the old enlightenment question “Can technology uplift all humanity (beyond greedy politics) ” – it probably can. – history has examples to offer.

The reasons for this believe, in my lifetime i have seen political sistems, and its implementations, – appearantly written in stone – fall and nobody missed them, life just went on – communism, the berlin wall, european national states, maoism, currencies, national borders of all kind, arab dictators, trade barriers of all kind, national languages disappearing being replaced by English – the driving factor behind all this “increased transnational communication capacity” in the hands of everybody, driven by technology…implementing the global tribe beyond politics and division. My prediction is, this is just the tip of the iceberg, of an ongoing and accelerating process. This communication process will lead to a point where “national politics”, “political sistems”, “political parties”, “political discussion”, “obligation to no opt in processes”, will be mentioned in one sentence with “medival witch hunt”, “holy inquisiton”, “slavery”, “subjugation” etc… We just don’t handle things that way anymore – times are changing we better ourselfes…some things fall into the “trash basket of history” – “political sistems”, and “political discussions” of all kind will be among those.
The 15 man crew of the Svanen is living on a floating island traveling worldwide in a sustainable economic environment and they have surley found a working way to come along and negotiate diverging social interests on a opt in opt out base… future seasteads will work just in the same way. When the seasteads reach city size the scale of habitant numbers will be no problem anymore – technology will have solved the communication and social negociation problem that comes with larger scales. Politics as we know it will be obsolete and replaced by a better way of social negociation. There is no problem that needs to be solved on this forum by means of political discussion. Just let’s talk about the future development of marine business and how it will lead to seasteading.
