mircea_popescu: look at these people. what fucking right do they have to discuss "society" ?
mircea_popescu: ok, then by this same token you should believe "anyone can publish" improved books.
mircea_popescu: specifically because while it won't be fundamentally correct, it'll still be interesting, and different interests are for different people.
mircea_popescu: so you don't believe the situation where a man who is not in point of fact qualified to discuss these matters nevertheless discusses them actually "dillutes the internet".
mircea_popescu: you know even basic compiler puts a fucking ^ at the specific point where it lost it ? what am i going to do with "waitwut" ?
mircea_popescu: "i became more able to continue as an automaton in the fiat order"
mircea_popescu: you like to act as if "books" are the same thing ; they aren't ; mostly because you like to think "people reading books" are the same thing. they also aren't. and sure as fuck "internet agreement clubs" aren't political instruments.
mircea_popescu: so far we've not agreed this is part of any sort of catacomb.
mircea_popescu: have you noticed this, by the way ? apparently, that's a line ; and apparently it'll get filled ; apparently by substantially the same guy.
mircea_popescu: would you say random wage slave with a kid in tow and a vague interest in maybe spending a week on "writing a book" is watering down "neoreaction" or whatever the fuck you'd call the line of "being an internet tough guy in the style of curtis yarvin" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so i was gonna ask you, you say books got ruined by any schmuck being able to print one ?
mircea_popescu: "you want to keep pretending X ? fine, this means you get to pay through the nose. so your pretense you're a world power costs what, 5 trn a year in subsidies to everyone that can bust your skull open ? fine. this is what, 1/1000 as important, that'd mean you owe me ~5bn to plead out and let you be. how much of that you got in cash ? and by cash we mean bitcoin, of course."
mircea_popescu: hahaha so i don't fucking get it... they get to keep pretending that tor's not schweizer, and what's the derp get ?
mircea_popescu: (also not particularly useful in theory, but then again gpg is a pos.)
mircea_popescu: aes256 is (supposedly) ~2^100 against related key attacks which'd be the better attack known.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ftr, i have nfi what you're using, but most people here are using either aes256 or twofish, i would suspect. and if they do not - they should edit ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf and add personal-cipher-preferences AES256 TWOFISH right above the line that says personal-digest-preferences SHA512
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the problem is that it doesn't include the important parts.
mircea_popescu: ftr, the problem with the sha1sum isn't even that it's 160 bits ; worse fates could be devised.
mircea_popescu: that's the problem with high culture. you can't REALLY translate huxley say in french. what translate ?
mircea_popescu: no but see it is direct learned reference, all through, to famous poem. "o bizant, bizant ferice"
mircea_popescu: $google "all men are brothers" pearl s buck "full text"
mircea_popescu: these schmucks seriously go around pretending some book published in the 1930s is "under copyright" ?
mircea_popescu: yes, but the part where it is better to have shitty czar than strong sultan if you have no life force left is rarely comprehended.
mircea_popescu: fortunately for everyone involved, czar was infinitely more inept than sultan
mircea_popescu: technically, i expect it'd have gone the way of turkey.
mircea_popescu: that was such a lulzy battle too. what was it called ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh get out, i recall empire of japan owning teh czar pretty hardcore.
mircea_popescu: (diogenes the philosopher asked by someone when people to eat said : if the one you ask about is rich, he can eat when he pleases ; if poor, has to eat when he can.)
mircea_popescu: yeah pete_dushenski , the whole quote is "diogenes philosophus cuidam interroganti qua hora hominem cenare deceret : Si quis, inquis, dives est, tum cenare potest cum cupit. Si pauper, tum cenare debet cum potest."
mircea_popescu: a land of which no culture could ever come. much like a planet too small to retain gases.
mircea_popescu: yeah but given their inept inability to REFERENCE THINGS and their truly despicable johnsmithism "i invented hot water in 1910", there's no dampening of the process, they'll just bong one way and the other and back again forever.
mircea_popescu: yeah but i mean... these damned colonists ? from one idiotic excess to its opposite ?
mircea_popescu: used to be a time when opposite held true. that time was... what, coupla generations ago ?
mircea_popescu: funny that people actually think female behaviours are human behaviours, nowadays.
mircea_popescu: nor can this ever be "forgotten", it's a thing in itself not a thing by convention.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing women can [say|wail] that can possibly change the plain fact that men do what they say an' say what they mean.
mircea_popescu: that's actually how you distinguish actual people from the plain cuntspawn. and that's why attempted reductionisms a la "bros" don't actually work.
mircea_popescu: leaving it as an exercise for any attendant alfs to explain difference between locklin and baruth. $indistinguishable_flavours_of_stupid_old_man
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "oh, mommy knows best" "yeah you know what, go fuck your mother."
mircea_popescu: since when is behaviour the measure of situation, what's next, niggers steal because poor ?
mircea_popescu: i never quite realised its sheer potential ; not until spandrell guy asked about you.
mircea_popescu: you could be on a fucking rap album. wu tang ain't got nothin' to touch this.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you know looking at this trilema article, it's a pretty epic shot of you asciilifeform ? i hope you use it for cvs.
mircea_popescu: "how long is your penis ?" "drawn it's like even over ten inches"
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is an iq 95 dude with extenders to 110 ?
