Au contraire - I think we need more ambitious / divergent projects, and I think with this ambition and divergence comes the likelihood that you're going to piss a lot of people off, and I think that's okay.
"creating places in the world to experiment without regulation, and that people's expectations of privacy are wrong, etc."
Both of these sound like divergent and large scale, but they don't seem unreasonable.
People let the world in front of their eyes convince them of its permanence / correctness - when in reality we need to break some of our cherished beliefs to move forward.
You mean like "conserving" your beliefs against "progress". Hmm. Seems like we should invent some sort of political system where we can "conserve" on one end and have "progress" on the other end. They will meet in the middle and get absolutely nothing done. Brilliant!

What if we like our cherished beliefs because they work for us and don't really want someone else's beliefs to trump that?
Then don't move to their seasteading platforms or use/buy products run from them?
