      nope, in fact I’m pretty sure Yarvin never concretely defines the term. Graydon in the linked thread or our own @dgerard@awful.systems may have more quotes from Yarvin trying to describe the thing, but for now I’ve decided that the antiversity is a university for ants

      nuh. the idea is that the Antiversity will be the command and control structure of the reactionary society just as the University is the command and control structure of the Cathedral society.

      now you might think “that’s not what universities do at all”, but you would be correct

      Hoare thinks Urbit was intended to be the Antiversity, the communications network for the fash uprising. I can see how Yarvin might have thought that.

        has he confused the entire university for the football games my university kept spending all their research grants and alumni donations on? cause the cathedral being nothing but the jocks who shoved Yarvin into a locker makes way too much sense
