TIL the Urbit developer is Moldbug. We can squarely blame him for the rise of tech bro fascism. Thanks dude.

This was helpful in clarifying to me how dangerous Yarvin and those who follow his beliefs are to normal people. As stated in the AMA, he believes everything he says. We have substantial documentation of extreme proposals, including turning the lower class into biodiesel or simply locking them in prisons where they can live out virtual lives. How did we get to the point where a cyberpunk dystopia is our definition of an optimal society? How do you counter a movement funded by the most wealthy and powerful people in the world who solely want to use their influence to exact control without empathy? How to we get to a post-ironic world where we have sincere discussions about improvement and not just troll to create chaos to centralize control?

Would Neal Stephenson please step up and tell this monster that "Snow Crash" was mostly a dark comedy, not an aspirational blueprint for America?
