The first time I encountered Urbit was here on HN. I visited their website and had a great time reading through the available marketing and documentation. The whole time I was completely convinced that Urbit was an elaborate, high-effort parody of crypto scams, pyramid schemes, new-age technobabble, and neo-feudalist ideology. Only when I was nearing the end of the docs did I begin to doubt this conclusion. Urbit, in my mind, remains an example of Poe’s law. I still can’t quite square that there are people who take it seriously.
