An interesting counter-argument is that while people on land may have plenty of energy and resources, seasteads will not. The doomsday-type analysis which assumes limited and expensive resources is actually more applicable to our environment than the one it was written for. (To be fair, it is also somewhat applicable to remote pieces of land). So even those seasteaders who agree with our skepticism about apocalyptic claims should not dismiss such viewpoints completely, as they are relevant to this new frontier.
