The philosophy of seasteading is explicitly not about pursuing any one vision of utopia, but building turnkey technology so that any group with a vision of a better society can go try it. The idea is not that we know what utopia is, but that by enabling a startup sector for government, by letting lots of different groups (Randists and others) try out their own visions of utopia, we will generate experimental evidence about what does and doesn't work. Instead of arguing about philosophy or dissing a proposed government because it resembles a videogame, we can compare real societies.
