Should I worry that I immediately started thinking how this would combine with seasteading?

Yes, and you should read a little less Ayn Rand and broaden the thoughts you allow yourself to think =P.

This is the kind of pigeon-holing which prevents one from actually considering an idea on its merits.

For example, what did OP say that suggests they don't allow themselves to think broadly? It's a baseless assumption rooted in your own personal biases, and has nothing to do with the idea at hand.

Which is not to say that I'm particularly enthusiastic about sea-steading. Who's to say though, that its time won't come?

Certainly not Ayn Rand; she thought it would be here yesterday.
