mircea_popescu: phf cat-toonist better. sadly, all the chicks are being silly.
mircea_popescu: ~30 yo, fully hunchback, "marketing director" ? that country's fucked.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i guess. ironically - the govt really should luv a "riot" in this sense. those are its people, should just go with them.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the generals are figthing last war ; the notion that anyone wants or needs physical body agglomeration for any purpose is ridoinculous.
mircea_popescu: chew shares likely to grow for the foreseable future off permanently elevated plateau.
mircea_popescu: termite colony in fact uniquely valuable model for us.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean figured out in any sense but guy de maupassan'ts "animal instinct of peasants"
mircea_popescu: yeah ; but they meanwhile figured out that bees produce honey, and noticed their drones produce nothing.
mircea_popescu: so there, biology, system theory, political science and psychanalysis!
mircea_popescu: (likbez #3 : that the socialist shithead can not think of anything because too obsessed with anthill fetish should be informative as to his braindamage)
mircea_popescu: (likbez #2 : ant colony, nature's finest example of star topology, is for this reason uniquely bad example for the (correctly defined) "complex system". the boom-bust cycle of rabbits and other small rodents much better examples. complex systems are made of like parts, not worker-queen sorta nonsense.)
mircea_popescu: (likbez : ant worker is not genetically distinct from ant queen. epigenetics (mostly, env factors - as in feed) make the fenotypical distinction. consequently yes, whole anthill, as far as its underlying mechanics go, is found in each worker ant, all you have to do is sequence the dna and explore the possibilities. that such is currently a computationally prohibitive task is not relevant to the discussion.)
mircea_popescu: "Studying individual ants will never (one can safely say never for most such situations), never give us an idea on how the ant colony operates. For that, one needs to understand an ant colony as an ant colony, no less, no more, not a collection of ants." aaaand we lose interest.
mircea_popescu: much easier to pull off in places that had historically insane restraints on land development which just went away. a lot harder to do in places which are increasingly insane.
mircea_popescu: but the idea is that you want to be 10-20 years early to the party. much like you know, if you're gonna rent out fuckspace at burning man, best go there a day early park the van right.
mircea_popescu: it's complicated, esp in the states. in romania much more trivial a point, growth pattern of cities quite obvious.
mircea_popescu: only ustard will go into "high value", watch that erode from under their feet.
mircea_popescu: however, the actual artefact of the time in the context of its time was maybe capable of 80, and otherwise liked the 50/55/60 limits.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't dispute that with care, and expert handling, even a stock trabant might, on perfect roads, safely drive 100km/h briefly.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1522049 << this is actually the controlling point. for all the theoretical theory of how "woman" should be ; you're still going to meet individual women with which it works or it doesn't. plenty of cases "the wrong" works way better than the theoretical best, even if present (which it oft isn;t)
☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought it was all either electric or else 4stroke for the ride-on stuff. 2strioke is such loud, smoky nonsense...
mircea_popescu: i dunno what trabant did 100km/h. maybe in lab conditions, engine on bench sort of theory.
mircea_popescu: if he were in wot there's hope he wouldn't be doing stupid shit.
mircea_popescu: eh get out of here. it's not so simple as all that. recall that famous japanese chick that fucked some dude to stick a stilleto in his brain because he had won a war / killed her father ?
mircea_popescu: yes, women can and will downregulate. but that's later in life.
mircea_popescu: because she's not made of soap! to be an athlete you gotta work out ; to be a cunthlete you gotta put out.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron so move to admire the classical civilisation. lotta stuff worth seeing in the middle east.
mircea_popescu: whether she fucks them or not is immaterial, however. hence my recomendation of iran : he might discover that in a hundred smoking hot virgin babes, thereby fitting his bill as stated, there's not a single one worth the hassle.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1522033 << the idea is not entirely without merit. people are entirely made up of their heuristics ; much like a child who spent the language-formative years among orangoutans will never make a great tenor, writer or public speaker ; just so a girl who spent the heuristic-formative years among retards will never make a good whore, spymaster or etc.
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1522021 << this is a very naive view, based on the behaviour of poor beta bois. girls get "passed around" until they meet the right guy. who generally doesn't give much of a shit who she fucks per se ; , but who does make her unavailable for teaming up with rando kids.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "HPSCI had broadly stated that it could withhold any document containing unclassified discussion on any topic that had been considered in executive session during Plaintiff’s 17 years of service, as opposed to protecting the substance of Committee proceedings. For instance, this allegedly would apply to any discussion of any budget issue at any time."
mircea_popescu: for everyone else - there's the wot. and the fucking important point from this view of republican history to date is just this : we've actually built a selection of magic spells that are both a) magic to the user and b) fixable through a definite process.
mircea_popescu: hence all the appeal of "colored coins" "dao" blablabla. to people with no experience or clue of reality whatsoever, it truly seems like a complete solution - commodification without the downsides!!!
mircea_popescu: (the most successful to date thing tried, to resolve this - commodification - is turning out to be worse a solution than no solution at all. between dicamba, alf's saw, my heater and hollywood movies, the point is pretty sorely obvious.)
mircea_popescu: so this is far from a resolved problem. no actual action is required of you ; merely the understanding suffices.
mircea_popescu: the deep problem is that any known implementation of division of labour imports magic.h
mircea_popescu: lol i was talking in teh general. dun worry, has nothing to do with you.
mircea_popescu: tautology is the last ditch in the fight with they who do not wish to understand the plainly obvious. there's little more to be said to "i just want it to work" crowd than some tautology or other, because the problem in their head is exactly this : to them, it ISNT tautological.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the problem with the world that "magically" works is that if one day it magically stops working you're invited to go magically fuck yourself.
mircea_popescu: but who knows, maybe if they give google its cut they'll be able to place bonds in a year or two again. paul graham has the details.
mircea_popescu: (+the government of argentina - which is currently paying google money to advertise itself to me, in terms of "soberania". the lulz of this is apparently lost for every spanish speaking tard)
mircea_popescu: the whole market is not even 1% that, and mostly fed by very short lived foools
mircea_popescu: much like if you're aiming to tell me google makes 70bn a year out of people paying for online advertising...
mircea_popescu: generally, once the founder dies you can assume usg got it. just liek in roman empire.
mircea_popescu: even something like apple - here today, gone tomorrow. alphabet inc was fdounded... 2015. ie it's not yet 2 years old. on it goes.
mircea_popescu: in general, companies have a serious problem - because unless they're on the "official list google returns results from", the business case is rather weak - companies don't live too long. bank has little reason to try and salvage the business of an entity that lives on average under a decade.
mircea_popescu: yes, and also the reason pretty much everyone in mexico has dreamcatcher on wall.
mircea_popescu: also the described hobo-rubbish thing actually happened irl. there's tons of sad stories of the middle class encountering us bank system.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no official smokescreen per se ; just, the us is predicated on "saying no is mean". what follows is soup.
mircea_popescu: anyway, not to say that the patient, organised, large entity can't actually tailor something that works for them ; but for retail (ie, you're worth millions or less) customer to expect they get THAT by default is cruisin' for a bruisin'. which is not so much of a problem generally because the lifestyle of us peonry is very narrow anyway.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's to elaborate ? "item x does not exist" "but i think it does" "good for you and good luck with santa"
mircea_popescu: just like there is no "fuck you and your alimony, until and unless customer signs you a checque you can go dangle"
mircea_popescu: there's no "closed account" artefact, in spite of customer intuition to the contrary.
