Opinionated guide to Urbit

Or one could starve Yarvin and his coterie of both attention and resources by ignoring his performance art/philosophy experiment entirely.

In my view, Urbit is fundamentally flawed. The idea of artificial scarcity of digital resources is ludicrous. Reworking the fundamental idea in a sane programming language only perpetuates the central idea of artificial scarcity, and Yarvin “wins” anyway.

On a side note, this entry is well within the guidelines of this website but it’s obviously a lightning rod for controversy. Maybe those that are interested in exploring Urbit should seek out an alternative forum to discuss it.
