Finally read "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" 🤯

If the Urbit boys had simply started all materials with "read that short story first," it would have been so much easier to understand.

Jorge Luis Borges is a master of strange fiction. Urbit has some good thoughts about owning one's personal compute stack all the way to the bottom, but got lost in the shitcoin desert.

Urbit is something I wished lived up its ideals.

It’s kinda ‘ironic’ that Yarvin is a neoreactionary (essentially the only destination beyond Ancap, unless your name is Mike Brock) and his ideas played out as they have whilst Bitcoin has slowly and steadily advanced via its more Ancap route in spite of his neoreactionary based critiques.
