The tone of Quirk's book, co-written with Patri Friedman (grandson of Milton Friedman) is in keeping with the imperialist attitudes that have led to so much of the land in the world being colonized by white men who have no claim to it. Indeed, The Seasteading Institute and movement are vastly dominated by men. Those "seavangelizing" appear to be suggesting that now that they have run out of land to colonize, the seas are next.
