mircea_popescu: it occurs to me that it's not just a good fit for eulora, but actually very wot and tmsr-like.
mircea_popescu: at least a decade ago they kept track who ascended with what and when and etcetera.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, anyone play a lot of rogue / has friends/connections in the rogue/nethack community ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, there's a reason trilema has to be this fucking big.
mircea_popescu: the wot is to be based on judgement about the past ; not on projections about the future.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i used to hold get togethers, we did iirc three.
mircea_popescu: Let's also note that such a thing as "the direct trust" of X for Y can not even be noted down in the first place, it being entirely a subjective determination of X, and consequently wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen applies. "
mircea_popescu: "It is important to remember that the score associated to a relationship does not mark the direct trust of the scorer for the scoree, but merely the scorer's confidence that the information he has about scoree is correct, accurate, relevant and complete. All four.
mircea_popescu: apparently microsoft gets institutional contracts through bribing the local politicians, who could have guessed.

mircea_popescu: hey, i'd totally see trump go on tv first day of term and say "all us college degrees are utterly worthless anyway, so nobody should have to pay back anything to anyone for them."
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : total student debt in the us is 1.25 trn. ie - more than bannon's trillion.
mircea_popescu: which is how the whole "jews invented sluttery so hardworking redditards don't ~get~ a^H THEIR woman!"
mircea_popescu: mkay, so working class usians want the us to be more like argentina, ie, poor and stupid but monolithic in the poverty of stupidity. "they'll be happier".
mircea_popescu: not horribru, but it totally seems like they had a decent idea and then didn't really know what to do with it.
mircea_popescu: in which sense, of course they're at least scared of trump. and of course he's "the rapist". forcing change in the passive subject, irrespective of said subject's spinny ruminations - intolerabru!
mircea_popescu: they wish not merely to be personally insured against the situation where the owner of capital forces them to subjectively change - they wish for this to not happen, anywhere, ever. because if it doesn't happen anywhere ever, it's not even that they're retards (literally, infantile minds trapped in adult bodies), but "just how things are". the normalisation of neoteny is the fundamental point of regulation.
mircea_popescu: but i will point out that i'm not into it per se ; i just don't happen to give a shit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re public fucking - it's good for the soul, what's to be "into". public fucking, public speaking, public dying, it's all human nature.

mircea_popescu: also known as "have some fucking self respect" in some circles.
mircea_popescu: not a matter of easy or hard. a mater of separating vocation from avocation and your imortal soul from the fucking commerce spiel.
mircea_popescu: they are supposed to be the opposite of professions : educations.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform none of (reddit clicking / forum derping / bdsming) is a profesion.
mircea_popescu: they're UBERconservative, so fucking self-protective it boggles anyone's mind.
mircea_popescu: that's the whole fucking point. liberals ? NIGGA WHAT ?!?! nobody is a liberal, the last one died in siberia.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think money does it. they charge like 20 bux a head (yes, same for male or female, SAME IF ALONE etc!!1), but i think i'm on the list mostly because they're petriscared of me. it isn't open to the general public.
mircea_popescu: plus a few public servants, plus a few occasionals who have been bringing their WIFE who is also their sunday slave once a few months for years.
mircea_popescu: it's mostly a collection of confused girlies and hopelessly dorky dudes
mircea_popescu: but back to the issue : they want to be paid to do what they were going to do anyway AND STRICTLY THAT.
mircea_popescu: which bdsm sould be exactly about NOT, but hey, let common people get involved in things, the things will look like common people.

mircea_popescu: then he proceeded to... use them. guess what this usage consisted of ?
mircea_popescu: a dude "won" like three of the derpy adolescentine chicks, for an absurdly astronomical amount (literally, just his supposed bids overstate activity on that website by a factor of more than 100).
mircea_popescu: because hey, selling the dumbasses for actual money would expose a) their collective poverty and b) force change. so they use tokens, which supposedly come "from activity", ie like reddit gold, but in practice are a transparent ploy to enforce a social hierarchy without social basis. ie, EXACTLY ycombinator.
mircea_popescu: so yesterday i went to a bdsm vip party. this consists of about a hundred people in a hotel rented for the purpose. i brought the hottest girl there, by a fat margin. i took up a loft, with a nice view on the people below, cropped her lightly, fucked her and had a good time. while all this was going on, in a different place they were having an "auction" based on tokens from some dumbass website they have.
mircea_popescu: in which vein, let me recount a little anecdote from personal history.
