Despite writing at a legal blog, IANAL, but am a mere techie like yourselves.

Or was, till I took an arrow to the knee.

Anyway, thanks for your kind words re the post!

I enjoy your writing but I think I disagree with the successes that you attribute to the blue team. Some of them are right on, but some successes are only that if you say that blue means liberal like Adam Smith was a liberal and not a mercantilist. That's just my take though. Cheers!

The general, reductionist way I've seen it put and like, is that the "blue team" has been so successful in the culture war that they are now reduced to policing the battlefield and shooting the survivors. Which Yarvin obviously was, seeing as how there's little to no chance Urbit will ever get a chance in this current totally politicized environment.
