I won't argue with the space colonization thing.

However, the high cost, measured in dollars or in actual resources, of ocean platforms makes them infeasible.

Precisely. Ergo colonization of space is the logical next step in human progression.

But to do that, we really could use a new government that has that as its goal, instead of world domination or subjugation of its population.

Having a static amount of land has one fatal flaw: it's like a monopoly game with people entering the game after all the properties been sold off - they've very little chance of winning, or even surviving.

And is that totally unfeasible? There are a lot of countries that need money more than they need land.
