I’m confused. This reads to me like a pretty clear criticism of Urbit and Curtis Yarvin. The author is perhaps a bit more explicit about that here: https://theblockchainsocialist.com/why-urbit-failed-with-adina-glickstein/
Is Blockchain Socialism like the National variety?
Part of the late 2010s blockchain-academic-industrial complex
yes, it’s Urbit failing to reach its target
the centre of this piece is her explicitly saying for several paragraphs that she takes bribes lol
Asterisk, Vox Future Perfect, and Astral Codex Ten are all LessWrong projects and none of them liked Yud’s new book either. Always remember that your political opponents are riven by factions too.
The reviewer mentions the heavy Ritalin (proscription stimulant) use by someone in her old social circle.

here’s the author’s previous ramble mentioning urbit
reads like she was angling for Dimes Square funding and didn’t get it
EDIT: and her earlier one much more about Urbit https://spikeartmagazine.com/articles/user-error-a-more-beautiful-computer
