I don't disagree, but the design of urbit is such that there's a path to it being good - that's not true of any other system built on the current stack (imo) because they don't fix the underlying incentive failures that lead to centralization in the first place.

I'm pretty sure no one (including myself) even understands what urbit is.

It's very simple, this summary explains everything: https://twitter.com/urbit/status/1184984759123922945

Kidding aside, I think it's unlikely that a deliberately obfuscated project will conquer the world.
