Urbit

This guy made a distributed operating system: https://github.com/urbit/urbit

Or at least, I think that's what's going on here, because he's all full of mysticism and goes on and on about traditions and instincts. Meanwhile I can't understand half a word of his sparsely documented source code. The language he made up seems to borrow all the worst parts of Befunge and APL, and even his C is kind of obfuscated. It's like trying to read a newspaper in Hmoob.

Am I just too intellectual to understand reality? Is my brain poisoned by the academic ivory tower's harmful theoretical concepts, /prog/? How can I ever unlearn the toxic ability to think?

I think he gives live conferences under the Moldbug nom de plume, obviously he doesn't wear any paraphernalia on his face, as it isn't exactly a secret identity.

Myth? Really? Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=ru&v=B94trCVCrLo

Disgusting. But what does it have to do with overpopulation myths?

>>85
Low population = valuable human life.

>>71

bad Harry Potter fan-fiction.

u mena Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.

>>86
So in all small towns human life is super-valuable?
So in low-density areas like Mongolia or Chukotka the human life is super-valuable? Nice joke, bro.

The Chinese communists don't value Chinese life, they gladly soaked the country in blood during the Anti-cultural revolution, and have adopted anti-reproduction policies that effectively stifle population growth. At the same time, they perpetrate the overpopulation myth to achieve several goals at once:

1) Larger population means larger army - everyone will believe that the People's Army is fucking huge.
2) Deterring immigration from shitskin countries - most negroes or Vietnamese don't want to go to a country which is already so overcrowded that the government has to forbid people to have children. At the same time, the high-quality immigrants like investors and scientists will not be deterred by that (they get paid enough not to care), and will actually be refreshingly surprised when they see China is not an overcrowded hellhole they believed it would be.
3) More weight in international affairs: UN and the rest have got to respect a country with supposedly 1.5 billion in population.
4) They can pretend their per-capita wages, waste emissions etc are smaller than they really are, thus making them seem more attractive as workforce and less environmentally-hostile.

First you have to prove that mongolians are humans and not just savage nomad barbarians.

>>89

that effectively stifle population growth

Are you retarded? The world is brimming with chinks, this is a desirable effect.

they perpetrate the overpopulation myth

What the fuck. Do you seriously not believe there are trillions of chinks out there?

Urbit's author is an obscurantist charlatan. Pay him no heed.

>>92
Why should we care who the author is? That would be the biological approach. But /prog/ cares not for biology, it cares for technology.

it takes >2GB ram

I was interested until it segfaulted on a modern computer

this is beyond ridiculous. we don't need more bloatshit

>>93
Because it follows that the documentation for Urbit is incomprehensible in an effort to make it seem more worthy of worship. You know, as charlatans do? You can find it on the Internet Archive as he's since "unlaunched" Urbit to try and conceal its wackness.

>>95
Then your comment should've been about bad documentation, not an irrelevant politico-biological spit in the face of /prog/. Also bad documentation is not necessarily a reason not to pay heed to a project.

>>95
you're a nigger

he released lots of code

his software is shit but your posts are far worse

>>97
You're a nigger. Learn to use spelling and punctuation before ever posting again.

>>98
you're a nigger. check my dubs.
