ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: we gotta get you a kitchen; no reason you should be buying crackers when you can recruit girls
to do it for you
BingoBoingo: Aite,
the local version of crackers suck.
Thankfully I picked up a garlic loaf. Split open and loaded with ALL
the blue cheese and
the white cheese,
this might beat
the half kilo of ice cream as
the most decadent
thing I have ate in Uruguay.
mircea_popescu: in
the sad results of
the "modern democracy" child abuse rings, it dies.
mircea_popescu: but
that's
the fork : as
times goes by, you either get good at fucking or you stop
trying. as
time goes on, curiosity either systematizes or dies.
mircea_popescu: "curiosity" is
the atrophied device of what language is learned with ; much like
the adult
tymus is what's left behind after
the "mother's immune protein bank" in children.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform,
they do, else
they couldn't speak at all.
mircea_popescu: yes, it's inborn in humans. but in
the apes we come from it ends within 18 months ; and in people it ends if not artificially maintained also.
mircea_popescu: curiosity dies naturally, much like
the ability
to learn languages, or
the ability
to swim.
ben_vulpes: i'm still boggled
that people appear
to outgrow curiosity
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, and i'll bet you
twentysomething
tard dun even know what a gopnik is. and
this ignorance does not worry him, "there's
this scary not-good dood who said something i didn't even understand" somehow fails
to carry
the "today is
the day you die" signal with it.
mircea_popescu: dunno about
the whole "people are fundamentally good and seeking
the light" aristotelian optimism. however most people can't be arsed
to do
the stupid when it's obvious it'll be wasted effort.
mircea_popescu: understand, it's very hard not
to agree with me.
takes a sort of determination
towards idiocy most people lack.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, consider however
the 2nd order effects : i know how
they
think. can you imagine what
that radicalurile could possibly serve ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, what do i count ? every girl my IA devices ever
touched ?
that'd be
tens of millions, who knows, a billion. every girl in what, my girl's l1 ? l2 ? l which ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, hard
to count
the sludge, see. what % of slag is diamonds ?
mircea_popescu: if you don't drill
the shitpipe, how're you going
to end up in cunt ?!
mircea_popescu: the anus and
the vulva are separated by a
thin membrane by design ;
this is what sophia
thinks of our habits.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, have you seen
the pics on
trilema ever ?
mircea_popescu: this is not singular : fetlife is at least half by weight people who want a good pretext as
to why
they're not getting laid (community!) ; gaming is at least half by weight people who want a good pretext as
to why
they suck at video games (community!) and so on and so following. look at expert sex change in
this vein, you'll discover a few
things about
the sort of questions asked and
the placesd
they come from.
mircea_popescu: imagine
this fucking wonder, "not a good person". what
the fuck happened in
their heads, seriously,
this is a drawback, being
the guy your mom
told you
to stay clear of ? he;s going
to do me disservice by running around "warning"
the gals about how not good i am ?
mircea_popescu: em so very keen on slavery I wanted
to offer you
the chance
to be a slave. I've seen a few posts about you asking people
to be your slave, well you can be mine instead." "me : Any clue who you're
talking
to, gopnik ?" "him : couldn't give a damn who i'm
talking
to.
The fact
that most groups i'm part of are warning people about you
tells me
that you're not a good person."
mircea_popescu: there's a large (and good god vocal!) population on say fetlife, which is only
there
to steal
the having been stolen from wrt sex. specifically,
they're mental 12yos who are
there
to not have
to notice
they're entiurely asexual, "how could you
think
that of me, i'm here engaging in
the exact sort of slut-in-training perisexual and cvasisexual behaviours
typical of pubescence!". here, sampler : "Law_And_Chaos 26M Dom ah you se
ben_vulpes: standard cab driver
tech for...decades?
mircea_popescu: yes, voip crapola. now
think --
they have nothing
to say
to each other and 1 on 1 is "too much pressure" anyway, so
they'd join channels, yes ?
mircea_popescu: at least
their fathers knew listening
to
talk radio in
the car was BECAUSE
THEIR LIFE SUCKS.
these schmucks listen
to it in
their "spare"
time, and don't even go
to
the
trouble of ~selecting~ a moron
to uuhhh and aaahhh melifluously, no, any old dweeb will do.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the
trigger was me explaining why i'm not gonna use skype/discord, no matter what
the fuck
they do. apparently "daytime
talk radio" was meanwhile supplanted by
these mutual clucking devices
they have. who
the fuck knew in
three short decades socialism will manage
to
take all
the most obnoxious features of a marginal social phenomenon associated with wage slaves and
turn it into a universal locus of youth.
mircea_popescu: nda Gates Foundation. Was not a whole lot. Less
than a mil. I made a decent fortune from bitcoins for no reason. And
they are doing some really cool projects for humanity. Love
their work. I have been
to quite a few of Richard Stallman's
talks. But still not inspired enough
to care so much about OSS. I like it, but I also understand
the argument for not having OSS and making money off it. But you did a good
thing
there. so co
☟︎ mircea_popescu: You are
the early BTC adopter and IIRC you were or had used DAO's findings/theft (whatever you call). I
thought your name seemed familiar, but I do not always participate in
the chatter. I was an early bitcoin adopter
too.
Then I got around
to ethereum. Did a fun ICO -
http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/news/2147-2017kybernetwork-loiluu/ But near December last year, I donated
the cash value of almost all of my bitcoins
to Bill & Meli
mircea_popescu: it ~does~ have a vibe, which sure could be classified
that way ; or any other way. "Πειθοῦς ἐστι κέλευθος - Ἀληθείῃ γὰρ ὀπηδεῖ - ἡ δ ́ ὡς οὐκ ἔστιν τε καὶ ὡς χρεών ἐστι μὴ εἶναι, τὴν δή τοι φράζω παναπευθέα ἔμμεν ἀταρπόν·" whartever.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-10 14:50 Framedragger: i like my rc airplanes. "the will of history necessitates you
to X" has a marx'ified hegelian vibe :p
mircea_popescu: but did he ever return no he never returned, he's
the man in
the mta...
mircea_popescu: mentioned in log, possibly what actually done Framedragger_ in, he went
to
talk
to
the shrews
mircea_popescu: if
the sulfa killed it it was definitely bacterial ;
the whole "after rain" story is very streptoccocus. you don't want
to end up with an entrenched infection,
this is how people end up with lifelong sinusitis and other such unpleasantries.
mircea_popescu: so make an appt ; doctor's visit is what, 50 bux, 100 if you're really going
to
the spa.
BingoBoingo: Nah, but I also don't want
to hand over cash if it can be avoid it. And
the Urgency is substantially less
than yesterday.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, in 8 days I get
to use all of
this bullshit
tax stuff paid here
to get my not-Obamacare. Optimistically if I only need
the number and not
the physical card I could see a doctor as soon as
tomorrow.
BingoBoingo: A kilo or so of icecream will probably be involved somewhere along
the way.
BingoBoingo: Then
tomorrow I appear with my paperwork at
the Department of identity,
then next
Tuesday I pick up
the Cedula.
BingoBoingo: Nearly feeling good enough for a grocery run. Prolly going
to get juice, blue cheese, and whatever
the local equivalent of crackers is
mircea_popescu: oj, eh ?
they have
that delicious fresh pressed stuff, just
the
thing./
BingoBoingo: Sitting, standing, walking in circles, and occasionally using
the stairs.
BingoBoingo: In
the hostel, drinking water, and breathing much easier
mircea_popescu: do you have a 2nd person
there in case you need anything ?
the venezoelana or what was it ?
mircea_popescu: used
to be a
time when being a staff officer meant something. now it's mostly i-cant-believe-this-fuckwit-isnt-an-academic / oh-but-he-is.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, ah but you see, "nobody reads
trilema" hurr durr, it is a DISCOVERY in 2018. because "the press" hurr durr.
mircea_popescu: not
that anyone in
the know didn't know,
the whole fucking deal is physical-space-for-prison in orcland for online-space-for-excell fuckery in empire imaginary virtualand.
mircea_popescu: big scandal in romania
these days, btw, because "it
turns out"
that in 2005
the ustards exported
their spy-on-citizens system
they brought up online sometime post 2001, and
the romanians of course used it
to spy on, eg, members of
the csat ("supreme council of defense", funny communist leftover item, after
the soviet model). and you know, ex "generals" going
to
the media with "the cia boss,
the fbi boss and
the military attac
mircea_popescu: aha. or rather --
they're
the funnel for which
the nsa new development was even made.
mircea_popescu: for
the same money, wella extended its commitment
to #AI with
the announcement of
two dozen new blonde hair dyes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, emc, ie "We have extended our commitment
to #AI with
the announcement of
two new 4-socket servers,
the PowerEdge R840 and
the PowerEdge R940xa. Explore " ?
mircea_popescu: i
thought
that's what
they called secluded rapespots in
the italian countryside.
mircea_popescu: i expect you actually own 100% of all computers ever shipped
to uruguay.
the rest is in extraterritorial zone.
mircea_popescu: see, it's like an orc protection amulet,
this. 1920
technology, what stalin sought
to copy, is what orcs most fear.
mircea_popescu: yeah, because pouring concrete in matrices is like
the height of white man's craft, not even black women i'm sorry, WOMEN OF AFRICA ever
tried
this with ground up mud and spitpies.
