• Oil platforms are a technology for floating permanently on the high seas, and cruise ships are a technology for self-governance on the high seas, and if you combine these two technologies, imagine cruise ships that never dock but float permanently.

• It is equally unreasonable to run a university as a "participatory democracy," the approach to governance that once existed in Europe.
