mircea_popescu: (transduction also
term of art in biology, but ima stop before retyping
the whole
thesaurus by hand)
mircea_popescu: (neurotic here is used properly -- as
the opposite of psychotic, which is
to say, attempting
to resolve psychological
tension
through self-transduction rather
than reality-reconstruction.)
mircea_popescu: pretty much all of
the mental pathology we call ustardianism directly derives from
this fundamentally economic problem.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: which neatly sends
the precious-cuntlet syndrome straight into metaphysics, "there's a
thing beyond
the sensible which makes me valuable, let's call it emotions and you could never understand".
mircea_popescu: it's
true
that women also have
the avenue of not-being-animals anymore, but
this happens
to have opened just as most "jobs" got destroyed. so yes
that works for a 5% of
them, and another 10% or so could pretend and convincingly hope.
the majority however, very much confront
the pork bellies are $2 problem.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem of eg, india, where everyone aborts girls because
they don't want
to pay for
their raising
to
the level where
they can be married ~because
the
trade value of
the she-cow is NOT ENOUGH~ is really
the fundamental problem of humanity : yes
the cost of living went up, but
the price of a head of cattle, or a goat, OR A WOMAN as such didn't go up. it went down. it's much cheaper
to buy an ox now, either in s
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-12-12 23:32 mircea_popescu: LEONIDA (în luptă cu somnul):
Treaba statului, domnule, el ce grije are? pentru ce-l avem pe el? e datoria lui să-ngrijească să aibă oamenii lefurile la vreme..."
mircea_popescu: a concern with "privacy", preoccupations with "feminism" in
the ustardian sense, complete unskilled cluelessness etcetera are all great predictors of
the underlying syndrome.
mircea_popescu: drives a whole class of neurotic behaviour
that ultimately ensures her social marginality, economic poverty and personal dishappiness (not mere unhappiness, as
the absence of happiness, but
the exact constructed OPPOSITE of happiness)
mircea_popescu: girly ends up persuaded
that she has a very valuable something she must
take great good care of between her legs -- her precious cuntlet.
a111: Logged on 2014-06-21 22:43 mircea_popescu: well yeah. but by playing hard
to get you may get +10 on your average catch, but also get
the guarantee you're never getting in
the bed of
that 0.whatever%
mircea_popescu: now, as it happens said behaviour is a
terrible strategy in postmodernity (basically,
http://btcbase.org/log/2014-06-21#727929 ie you'll lose out on EXACTLY
the long
tail SV.VC can not afford
to lose) ; but
the remnants of a pre-modern
time manifest in
the lowest forms of culture -- such as disney films ; and passive socialization.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-10-03 19:06 mircea_popescu:
there's some biological factors
to account for
this, both directly (shittier metabolism ; stronger response
to neurotransmitters ;
the venereal 50/5
trap etc) and indirect (through
the workings of sexuate reproduction women are always vandable) ; but i'm pretty sure
there's also psychological factors involved.
mircea_popescu: fun fact :
total land area on
this planet being 510 mn sqkm ; and bitcoin cap being 21 mn, it
therefore follows
that
the absolute maximal average price for land is a dime per square km.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Not as directional an activity as
threshing
BingoBoingo: In other news, Yellen poked US interest rates up by a quarter point before
the door meets her ass.
mod6: Shouldn't be
too bad anyway.
mod6: If all goes well with BingoBoingo's adventures, we may have a reoccurring infrastructure expense
to manage. Should be very manageable.
mod6: shinohai: ahh,
that's right. good memory.
mircea_popescu: well
there you go, you've got more
than most foundations out
there.
a111: Logged on 2015-12-16 02:46 mircea_popescu: !rate
TheNewDeal 2 Put a decent chunk of change into
the Bitcoin Foundation back when it wasn't fashionable yet.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
The paranoid one who wanted
to put coins somewhere safer
than he could keep
them started with a
t, will dig
mod6: i'd have
to dig it up, i forget who
the gentlemen is.
mod6: mircea_popescu started us off with 10, some guy
threw in 10, I
threw in 10 + a bunch of change while
testing
mircea_popescu: anyway, in other advantages of living in
tiny spec of a country : i went for
that steak i was considering yest. across from my
table, laura chincilla (ex president)

there is a 'mirror' feature in my V. But
there is a limitation, it has a URL
to
the root mirror baked in. Perhaps next release
this will be fixed and can
take a root mirror as a parameter.
This way, you could set up your own root mirror/mirrors for eucrypt or for stan's ffa.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> o yeah,
through careful management
the foundation ended up with like a quarter million dollars in its coffers or some shit ? << Careful management
that further attracted an especially large donation from whatshisname
☟︎ mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah, we've been pretty
thrifty
thus far.
☟︎☟︎ mod6: <+mircea_popescu> serious about it,
they'd have such
things as hunter-meat-distribution services oiled and ready. << fair enough. no reason
to leave some of
these
things up
to chance.
mircea_popescu: o yeah,
through careful management
the foundation ended up with like a quarter million dollars in its coffers or some shit ?
☟︎ mod6: well, nevermind. suppose
that won't work. anyway,
there is some groundwork laid.
mircea_popescu: and yes it does mean you'll have
to buy meat "you don't want". fuck you, survivalism.
mod6: Hypothetically, one could just change
that
mircea_popescu: especially on modern
tech
this could work fabulously well. 1. cross all
the items you'd like ; 2. cross all
the items you absolutely do not want. hunter centralizes
this, goes and shoots. literally, "your steak in
the mail by 10am"

that ridiculous "bunker" with 30% dedicated
to "motorcycles" and a few fish
tanks "For food" ?
that sort of cvasi-religious nonsense is
the end result -- resources are diverted
towards making a show of compliance with designs
that are dysfunctional by
their very nature.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 16:53 mircea_popescu: i guess if all
the "exclusive gated community" schmucks weren't so schmucky
thery could have a delegated hunter, get your steak in
the mail by 10am.
mircea_popescu: i swear, some of
these
things look perfectly apt for antisubmarine warfare.
mircea_popescu: all
this discussion of hunting got me all fired up, so went
to chinese store bought myself some fireworks.
mod6: For other non-trb projects, perhaps
the author can designa how
that should work.
☟︎☟︎ mod6: Hm. Well, depends on which project I suppose. For
trb, one can send such signatures of pre-existing vpatches
to
the ML, whereby I can scoop
them up and place
them in
the Foundation's repository as needed.
diana_coman: mod6, more FFA
tests sounds good
to me; slightly related: is
there any protocol/preferred approach for publishing signatures
to someone else's patches?
☟︎☟︎ mod6: There've been a few small adjustments
to
the code since
then.
mod6: (I've been working off an FFA
that's like... at least 3-4 months old.)
☟︎ mod6: I also want
to spend a few minutes here soon and adapt my FFA unit
tests
to
the vpatches
that stan has released
thus far.
mod6: ah, good. busy. i need
to dig into stan's ch2 still. been
tinkering around with
the wallet.
diana_coman: mod6, so far so good, preparing ch2 for
tomorrow
mod6: ah,
thx diana_coman
diana_coman: that actually looks quite like it
to me at least, mod6
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> phunphakt : in american schools,
there are power
tools. but children are not permitted near
them.
they may only draw a cut, and beg
teacher
to make it. << In highschool we had "forestry" class
that consisted of maintaining walkable path near edge of school grounds. Got
to fell smaller weedy
trees with reciprocating saw (i.e. sharp fucksaw)
jhvh1: asciilifeform: jurov was last seen in #trilema 1 week, 2 days, 10 hours, 33 minutes, and 45 seconds ago: <jurov> mod6: ben_vulpes: have you decided about forked coins on foundation's address? should i report
them, or sell, or
they don't exist?
diana_coman: although
to be honest I wouldn't have defined it as notable, hmm
☟︎ diana_coman: I know it's no accident, yes; still funny
though
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> wtf is
the "psychedelic" supposed
to do, i never could figure out. all sort and manner of kids were into all sorta manner of "psychedleic" bullcrap, from special light-things
to "interpret"
the music (installed eg under car seats! made
the whole experience fucking nauseous)
to what have you. but... why ? << What does any idle escapism promise?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> as a kid what i did with my
time was
that i ran up
three flights of stairs
to drink (straight from
the faucet, who
the everloving fuck has
the
time or
the patience for glasses!) a stomachfull of water,
then run back down and keep fucking running. << Since arriving I have been primarily drinking faucet water and coffees with occasial forays into
the local bottled water and juices.
mircea_popescu: anyway, im giving up on catching up with
this log before lunch.
mircea_popescu: "2 you shall not count, unless in
time
then proceed
to lathe. 4 is right out!"
mircea_popescu: ro
thinks it's from "slavonian" which makes 0 fucking sense. what, old church books on lathe ?
mircea_popescu: the action is "a strunji" ;
the g
to j morph is very indicative of it having been imported from dalmatia
jhvh1: mircea_popescu:
turner
ben_vulpes: sadly, 'operator' now. special booth on floor for guys who plan cutterhead
trajectories; 'programmers'.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
tbh /me regards
the lathe as
the definitive item. for
the obvious reason : lathe can build milling machine way
the fuck easier
than
the other way around
ben_vulpes: graphite flakes in
the medium damp vibrations
mircea_popescu: not even fucking expensive. course it's 380 so you'll have
to get
that
mircea_popescu: o look, you can actually buy
the modern version. same maker. Arad SN 401, 2,5
tons, 7.5kW, made 1987.
