I think urbit started out as a pomo critique of modern academia and tech, with heavy jargon and wheel rebuilding. Then, some other people started taking it seriously. I’m not sure if that is the best or worst outcome for this kind of joke.
- jolux 9y agoMoldbug hates pomo though. Pretty sure the dude doesn't read anything that was written after the year 1900.
- Karunamon 9y agoSorry, Pomo? Can’t get a good definition via the googles.

- munin 9y agoDon't you know, the Moldbug persona is separate from the persona that develops Urbit!
- jolux 9y agoWhat the heck is that supposed to mean? "Persona?" Fine, Curtis Yarvin has said that he only reads old books.
- munin 9y agoIt was a joke, when Curtis was dis-invited from speaking at a conference due to writings he made as Moldbug, the argument he made was that the Moldbug persona and the Urbit developer Curtis Yarvin are separate so there was no problem or worry about Curtis saying wacky racist things during his presentation about Urbit, because the person that says wacky racist things was Moldbug, who was not invited, therefore would not be coming.
- jacobush 9y agoThat is so pomo.
