I didn't want to watch videos while at work so had to do it with the text, and trying to figure out what it was was hard. First thing I encountered a few times was this sentence:
"An independent nonprofit research lab, whose mission is to enable universal literacy in a humane dynamic medium."
That said literally NOTHING about what this project is.
Only later on I found this text:
"The entire website is made in Realtalk, which means that everything on it physically exists. (Even this sentence.) It’s not a rendering of a virtual space — it’s a real place."
And FINALLY I sort of understood what the interesting thing here is!

That’s a strange complaint. The sentence wasn’t meant to say what the project is but to present the mission of the organisation which guides the project. The mission describes the core values of the organisation. The project can change or be replaced. For another example, the Mozilla foundation describes itself as “a non-profit organization that promotes openness, innovation and participation on the Internet”. That doesn’t say “we make a web browser”, which would be too limiting.
