I've been watching this since it's started. It has some magical atmosphere around it and you never now whether it's serious or not; whether it's a real technical project or some kind of artistic performance.

I think I have a destroyer somewhere.

Lots of negativity in the previous discussion. Did the page used to be phrased in a combative way or something?

Earlier versions of the site featured a larger quantity of Moldbug's baroque, trollish prose style. Plus there was an extended argument about language design, due to the author being present in the thread.

Frankly, I'm disappointed. It used to be clearly the personal work of a lunatic. Now it feels more like a quirky open source project.

What's a quirky open source project, if not the communal work of collected lunatics?

I hate to break it to you, but it's quite real.
