mircea_popescu: people gotta get a chance, that's all. what they do with it...
mircea_popescu: how exactly she reconciles progre ignorance with this pretense to expertise is not particularly interesting here ; but apparently even the last niggled comprehends that the republic prevails, no questions asked.
mircea_popescu: cludes those with special expertise, as well as members of the foreign service, and other civil servants." ie, "your whole delusion of existence is predicated on experts supporting it".
mircea_popescu: in other lulz :
https://archive.is/am4m2 coming from the future (i think nov 21st is still next week right ?) one Amy Davidson makes exactly the argument for tmsr, just somehow insanely applied to the progre party. "The more interesting question is how people in political life approach what they may regard as a duty to serve their country, whoever the President may be, while preserving their dignity and their decency. This in
mircea_popescu: i guess you have your work of edumancation the masses cut out for you.
mircea_popescu: ftr ima join #opennic see what it's all about because of comment on dns swamp article

mircea_popescu: i think it's just badly set up, i don't see it either.
mircea_popescu: hey. true social mobility ; as opposed to the factitious sort the usg promotes.
mircea_popescu: by now it's apparent they're so many every discrete point is overlapped by an uncountable set.
mircea_popescu: i am not concerned with the pretense of fiat orgs, not even so much as to regard a supposed "continuity" as relevant.
mircea_popescu: anyone's free to do things whichever way they wish, what. they then get to live with the results.
mircea_popescu: let them run their own household. they're the "cutting edge advanced tech cum harvard grad" corp, not you.
mircea_popescu: some work better than others, of course, which happens to be fine.
mircea_popescu: chairs also don't vote ; this is of no electoral interest whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: that an endless list of retards fail to take advantage speaks nothing of interest to the republic.
mircea_popescu: the republic, here as everywhere, now as always, forces a certain mode of life. where people matter ; where individuals rule ; etcetera.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure it'll open. consider : even someone from thje fucking mailroom could have the sense to make the damned key. then in six months to a year and a half when they have desperate board meetings over "nobody could have predicted ; wut do" he waltzes in, gives them the key, becomes "vp for not being dumb"
mircea_popescu: the question is not what the "new york elite" / press jewry wants or thinks possible.
mircea_popescu: look, 1970 china was ~on par with n korea. they could make kalash rounds, maybe, if someone helped a little.
mircea_popescu: it'll more likely be celebrated, like "victory-over-japan" day.
mircea_popescu: notrly. it turned them from the mudpacking "cultural revolution" to an industrial superpower. it's the most important moment of chinese history, throughout its 6 millenia.
mircea_popescu: the us taxpayer seems more likely to be left with the bagholding, than china, but who's to know the future.
mircea_popescu: so far as can be seen their investments worked judiciously.
mircea_popescu: i'm in no great position to judge china's actual exposure, esp because they're so manically secretive. i dun expect you're in any better.
mircea_popescu: (eg if you only ever want 500 cannons and the ratio for the research is 1:1000 whereas the black box ratio is 1:500, then you're better off doing the black box if available)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand : trading "nonrenewables" for machinery is EXACTLY how all human industry works. whether you use up some steel to have a bunch of idiots experiment with it to make a cannon ; or ship some to blackbox for cannon to come out is in the end just a matter of ratios.
mircea_popescu: nothing keeps them EVEN NOW from making an account to be prepared for it. nothing, of course, other than their petulant, obsessive hatred of humanity.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this doesn't relate to an early stage where we draw up who owns what from the legacy world.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger note that i don't particularly see the value in restrictioning anything. in principle anyone should be able to register a domain for his bitcent - even if he puts no gpg key in there. he just won't be able to admin it, big whoop./
☟︎ mircea_popescu: apparently they did the math and it came out "not so".
mircea_popescu: so really - they keep sending the plastic toys because who gives a shit.
mircea_popescu: it's a foolish notion this, that by putting the slave to work you're benefiting out of their sweat. not so. all the ancient stories go on to tell how the hardworked orphan girl upset the arranged marriage of the princess ; and my own experience show the exact same : what useful labour you extract out of the slave is naught compared to the slave's educational benefits.
mircea_popescu: china got a lot of enjoyment out of the first generations of kids to go to harvard in the 80s, and out of the first imported murican tchotchkes to put up for display in the village museum. recall the boiled mangos story ?
mircea_popescu: the actual adult male will first fuck her into pudding, and THEN decide she's justr a slut he doesn't give a shit about.
mircea_popescu: consider the case of a very hot chick. the... churly, impotent approach is to go "she's a slut, i don't give a shit about her" like that, off the top.
mircea_popescu: who knows, maybe china will be so impressed with "being labeled" whatever and having some derpy butter-smelling dorks in suits bark at its ankles it'll underwrite even moar us debt
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. he's about 10trn deficit for the first 18 months or so.
mircea_popescu: if any of you is looking to buy a worthless paper asset - by all means, make an offer. odds are pretty good you'll be able to personally humiliate and then fire hundreds of "new york elites" (in their own head).
mircea_popescu: goodwin is right, a nyt bankruptcy / slashdot sale is very much in the books for 2017.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (he's also taking out the estate tax. dude's REALLY trying to make the empire remnant republic friendly.)
mircea_popescu: this reflects an inflation of (30÷12.6)^(1÷12) = 7.5pa since bush2.
mircea_popescu: the least debated portion of trump's tax plan ? going from 12.6/6.3k standard deduction for peons to 30k/15k.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suppose next is a boot camp that has a huge intellectual community so nobody can do cleaning detail.
mircea_popescu: "a school that has a huge lgbt community" ahahahaha gimme a break.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you shoulda taken pics then lol, with the pics now it'd have been a great blogpost.

mircea_popescu: ajaahaha what the fuck independent original journalism.
mircea_popescu: "I just want these important facts made clear on the blockchain" ?
mircea_popescu: i already know. she was in some poor people hangout or other doing poor people thing a or b.
