mircea_popescu: there's no magic number as
to WHICH past. but in point of fact past is all
there is.

the author not here
to explain ;
the view would be sustainable if one could unearth any portion where he unambiguously refers
to
the proposed other kind of individualist.
mircea_popescu: the problem essentially is
that
there's
two kinds of people, one of which wants
to be relieved of
the burden of
thought ; for which purpose
they invented
the jap before
they invented microsoft word.
mircea_popescu: machine has no relation
to
the world outside of my mercy.
mircea_popescu: but when i have
to
tell
the machine ~what I want~, as opposed
to ~what
the world is~, we're lost for sanity.
mircea_popescu: you'll have
to excuse me while i make snese of what's actually left under
this lid. so far -- not even a proper word for it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that machine is
to be an enhancement not a substitute.
mircea_popescu: the ~NECESSARY~ correlate of "don't say faggot, so
the dumb
that are also gay do not feel excluded" ; "don't say stuff like
http://trilema.com/2017/the-boundless-burden/ lest you discourage
the dumb bulk of womanhood from participating" etc is
that EVENTUALLY you will come
to "change
the language every
third year so as not
to discourage
the dumb from inventing"

too much for some brittle egos [...] while
the Scheme community encourages people
to go off and implement
their _own_ Scheme,
the Common Lisp standard is so big and mature

those who want

the wheel (like an Arc :), usually fail miserably."

that
the "open source" nonsense was made for new jersey and vice-versa (no, it's NOT
TRUE "anyone can contribute", holy shit already, what sort of crapsack world is
this

that fare is an immature bitchlet has nothing
to do with lone programmers, nor with fucking professionalism.

☝︎ mircea_popescu: you will never fucking reinvent infinitesimal calculus. for one

the other fuck you and your psychological needs. you were born late rather
than early, if you don't like it should have been born earlier. invent something else or don't, either way.

to do anything at all if we can't hope
to overturn bitcoin. what, i'm going
to invent periodic numeration systems now so various moderntards can feel euclid ?

the existence of 'smart individualist', who is able

to revolution, it's rotten.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-07 14:27 asciilifeform: ( it was designed as a general-purpose 'self-describing data' -ikr? - horror , and idea was
that it would be edited ~with appropriate
tools~ - which unsurprisingly never were invented )
mircea_popescu: ^ sorry, original had wrong
title ; apeloyee pointed out.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is
this like
the
trench warfare pantsuit / respectable man discussing
the important (for inca) matter of whether
there was or
there was not personal loyalty involved in
the victory in europe ?
mircea_popescu: have
the fucking decency
to die for another man, not for an imaginary
tootpick. a life shouldbe worth at least
that much.
mircea_popescu: from here
to "we sacrificye for PARTY" is but one step, and it's idiotic step. soviet worked when sacrificed for lenin, for
trotsky, for stalin. failed when sacrificed "For party"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you're curious, by
the way,
the origin of
the "corporatization" so
to speak is
that ancient
trick from, if i memory serves, dickens (but could be any other pulp copywriter) :
that
the visible boss prefers
to pretend a silent partner is
there disallowing
the whatever, so he can have both cake and eat it
too (ie, comiserate with worker but not indulge worker idiocy).
mircea_popescu: which is what
the whole "no franchise"
thing is all about.
mircea_popescu: hump of bell curve may not come on own
terms. or even have
terms.
mircea_popescu: the moment
the "oh, it's a GOAL", oh, "it's above mere people", oh, it's a "Corporation", you got
the rot.
BingoBoingo: If 2 doodz spread
the candidiasis while spreading
the AIDs
mircea_popescu: yes, when
they decided it is "a goal".
there's an exceptional line in mimi, metalurgico ferito nel'onore, where some idiots go "ma figli ce li abbiamo
tutti, e c'e chi si fa cazzi di
tutti e chi si fa i cazzi suoi!"
BingoBoingo also considered acquiring samovar at
the feria
today, but decided better. Arepas and baked goods instead.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-04 02:43 mircea_popescu:
to put it in other words :
the republic does not deem corporatyions
to be persons. a corporation can't owe
tax for
the exact same reason
the united states government can't be sovereign.
mircea_popescu: there's however absolutely no reason
to put up with
them.
mircea_popescu: there's a REASON
the warcry of
the r-selected "new programmer" was "there's no penalty for
trying".
mircea_popescu: there is nothing necessary about
this cycle of wasteful idiocy. beat your swedish civilised wife whenever she deos
the dumb.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: , where
the penalty for failure is HUGE, springs up again.
mircea_popescu: the propensiety of K-selected societies
to stop beating
the dumb wives, and
their dumber offspring, permitting puddles of r-defectors
to form up (because if no penalty is attached
to newjerseysm, newjerseysm becomes very much
http://trilema.com/2010/de-ce-sunt-contra-legalizarii-drogurilor/ style mandatory ) ;
then K-selected society collapses under
the cost of ever growing afr-ican americans, and
then, in
the new environment
mircea_popescu: which is why discussion with electrum (or any other such
tardism) isn't (as
the pantsuit aggitators
try
to make it) carried "on
the
technical merits". it will be carried in
the
terms of "those involved are not people, may not
touch keyboards, cut
their hands and gouge
their eyes out".
a111: Logged on 2018-01-07 14:25 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pdf is a graphics format ( and a quite horrifying one, a corruption of postscript, recall ) not a
text. so not
the right warcrime for comparison for
the french
thing
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-07#1766236 << pdf had a very similar "xml-like" containerized notation in
the early days adobe was
trying
to push it on
the world.
this is what
the problems with
these samovars is : whether named adobe or olivetti,
they're still samovars, and deducing one is harmless because it never got
to grow up is at best naive.
they all grow up into
the same
thing if given
the chance ; so never give
them an
☝︎ mircea_popescu: ie, an expectation of ideals, which is
to say
that ideas may be single or coherent.
mircea_popescu: epicycles are
the idea
that "i justwant
to", which is neither single nor coherent. it is however a simple and comfortable idea.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-07 16:44 esthlos: o course, like you have been saying asciilifeform, it's epicycles. but at least epicycles are a single coherent idea! (i.e. fourier

mircea_popescu: i guess
the above was #1 ; but in more general form : how would a PSTP ("plaintext" sexpr
transport protocol) actually look ? ie, use sexpr
to deliver
the above required property.
mircea_popescu: as
the astute reader may have guessed,
the plaintext revelation sent /me on an emergency reread of many ancient
things.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall a handshake of
this sort. but many years.
mircea_popescu: if i don't get
the
topstruct and if i can't
throw out any up
to n-1 elements out of n on my own
time, it's broken.
mircea_popescu: "get
the whole
thing before you see what's inside" ie "do not do
the
thing everyone does
to republican log -- parse".
that IS what inca is.
mircea_popescu: no.
that's
thge superficial analysis. it
trades sense for inca, like any urbanism.
