mircea_popescu: which is how, from my (unscientific, managerial) experience, notable breakthroughs happen
mircea_popescu: the way this shit works is that nothing progresses science quite as much as the idle availability of specific precursors. which is both why alf has a point re the failure of us science and engineering being related to the criminalization of the garage teenager's bombmaking lab as well as to the general idea that "you get to have sex in college".

mircea_popescu: maybe they can hire that blonde chick with the alt-eth what was her name
mircea_popescu: buncha mentally retarded but politically ambitious social-pseudosciences types trying to get ahead in the world as best they know how. which somehow, in their broken culture, does not mean twerking, for some reason.
mircea_popescu: shinohai the ven thing, it has nothing to do with blockchain, or with technology generally. it's the funniest thing you ever saw, a sort of etsy-paypal, made by the same sort of stunted minds that tried to push doge.
mircea_popescu: Celebrated Nefario of GLBSE fame was an early adopter.

mircea_popescu: parliaments regulate. governments are not parliaments, nor are they legitimate, as a matter of principle, which is separable and also separate from the absent legitimacy of parliaments.
