A comment on What Urbit is. Parent comment

The closest thing I know of is Scott Alexander's Reactionary Philosophy in an Enormous, Planet-Sized Nutshell [1]. It's more of an essay/argument than an impartial overview, but (besides being a good read by one of the smartest and most interesting bloggers on earth) I think it's the most even-handed, neutral and informative thing you're likely to read about Yarvin's beliefs.

(NB - the article refers to Yarvin as "Mencius Moldbug", his nom de plume for political ranting)

Wow, really? I'd consider that worse than removing comments.

Great! I love Scott Alexander's writing, so I'll definitely check this out. Thanks for the pointer.
