I actually read this while I was in the hospital about a year ago. Once you allow the calming voice of the Chairman to wash over you it's kind of cozy. Then you put the book down and realize it's all mainly impossible and you go back to regular life.

I feel for you anon. I have a friend I talk to every week who does code and he complains about Urbit. He was the guy who told me about Moldbug for the first time, but I mainly read his philosophy stuff and do not speak the machine-language. But I agree with your assessment. I think NL/MM/others fantasize about Singapore and archipelagos and so on for the same reason Larry Page was fantasizing for awhile about Google Island and seasteading. It would take some kind of crisis for Calexit or whatever to actually happen and we'll probably both be dead by then anyways. But it's interesting to think about.

For me the aesthetics thing works not out of an actual political sense but because it expresses a desire among the redpilled world for some kind of change in the way things are currently, with its insane recursive traps of consumer capitalism and urban decay and so on: some people want to go back to the old ways, with all that that entails, and some people want tech secession.

But in the end the more bankable result will be that they'll probably get neither, as you have intuited.
