The project comes up on HN quite frequently, and there are many, many issues built into the project. For a start they redefine a lot of words and concepts to their own meanings, rather than commonly accepted ones, in a way that's reminiscent of cult-y organisations. These then feed into their own obscure programming language. This serves as a barrier to entry and an in-group language. Secondly, well it was started by Curtis Yarvin, whose (unpalatable) ideas about neo-feudalism are baked in. But yeah, look up prior HN discussions if you want more info. Urbit is an oddity, and not necessarily a good one.
