mircea_popescu: sister to "if you see a hungarian speaking foreign languages, you're looking at a jew."
mircea_popescu: they're also of very similar ability. ancient ro joke going something like "if you see a romanian successfuly engaged in commerce, you're looking at an armenian"
mircea_popescu: "my sons... preserve the jews! for once they're gone...
mircea_popescu: old guy dying, all his many sons around my bed. he speaks barely audibly :
mircea_popescu: you know the joke with the old armenian patriarch dieing in anhalt ?
mircea_popescu: amusingly, the parts that didn't come there in the shape of "look what books we can't read we stole from the jews, let's ignore half the sentences" came there in the shape of "look what books we can't read we stole from the armenians, let's ignore half the sentences".
mircea_popescu: well... if one's to study religion, even if limiting it to europe, there's a lot more there than anyone cares to admit.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you familiar with the old idea that you know, the creation-god is this hunchback covetous idiot of a fellow,
mircea_popescu: PeterL no, i am saying that opposition to myself has ~0 chances to come from the sort of mind that ignores half of what happens.
mircea_popescu: ideologically, they, like the manicheans (yes, hence maniheism) and the bogomils and early gnostic christians held some things about the dual nature of the perceptible world
mircea_popescu: but be that as it may : the cathars (from greek, with a k there) are one in a string of organised anticlerical opposition to the official doctrine, politically speaking.
mircea_popescu: you seem to think it's an isolated and meaningless incident. i'm willing to bet it's both systematic and fundamental, moreso than any positive principle you might identify on deliberate survey.
mircea_popescu: what did your evaluator make of that line ? "i suppose i could be my own judas, bla bla" ?
mircea_popescu: "<mircea_popescu> i suppose i could be my own judas, in a strange sort of kathar approach to it."
mircea_popescu: don't tell me you just ignored the thing you didn't understand!
mircea_popescu: fancy that, the anglos spell it with a c like sane people for once. heh.
mircea_popescu: retirement is when you get so fucking bored you consider starting something new.
mircea_popescu: right ? exactly. what did YOU think retirement is ? "finally rid of the kids"
mircea_popescu: "oh you've been with the corp for 55 years here's a gold watch" ? fuck that.
mircea_popescu: well i dunno how much the xtian plagiarists understood of the thing they were trying to steal&rename, but
mircea_popescu: hm. shouldn't the fact that he has come again be pretty bad news ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose i could be my own judas, in a strange sort of kathar approach to it.
mircea_popescu: it did, had a burp earlier with danielpbarron it seems
mircea_popescu: thinking about it, a comment like "x never did his six months it appears" is unlikely to help x in any way. it used to be that kids were trained to throw an exception whenever something they didn't understood happened. by now however, ustards especially, just ignore the whole thing they didn't understand and continue as if it never happened.
mircea_popescu: and wouldn;t you know it, no nsa report. hey asciilifeform how is it that BingoBoingo hanbot jurov etc all manage to do their reports in time and you i always have to remind ?
mircea_popescu: agorecki> how would mp shoot down a blockchain protocol change? I've never seen him post on the bitcoin dev mailing list <<<< ahahaha what the fuck is this now.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> "DoS" seems rather farfetched, a readthrough of the DoS usage implies it's more of an ad-hoc block/txn rule enforcement mechanism. <<< it is exactly what it is.
mircea_popescu: if you care to know, the top of the line limo in most of the world for the previous 30 years before that was black, weighed two tons + made of mostly sheet metal, and did about 5 kms to the liter.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> 1982 muscle car driven at 75-95 mph for 160 miles gets 18.25 mpg << engines advanced significantly past 30 or so years ; idiocies of the eu envirofreaks and their us-based fanbois notwithstanding.
mircea_popescu has been on a crusade to detrain (mostly women) from the retarded habit of generalizing summarization as displayed here for a decade now.
mircea_popescu: fuck him, the stupid whore that spawned him and the drunk she spawned him with.
mircea_popescu: (also, how to know if nerdy chick is really into weird, or just namedropping the mainstream-famous set)
mircea_popescu: and before communism, cn cooked dead babies. it's a lively place.
mircea_popescu: fancy that, do you suppose konspiraci, or do you suppose idiocy is clever in the same way everywhere.
mircea_popescu: it's like ... "and then the turks came, killed all the men and sold the women off into slavery" and somehow the expected answer is something other than "omfg, here when ?!"
mircea_popescu: there's nice hats and the people have pleasant voices.
mircea_popescu: the chinese version, equally accurate, being that they brought the red light to a ridiculous sort of still-medieval sicily.
mircea_popescu: doing the same thing as now - sorta playing romania to sino-mongol disputes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform tibet existed long before the england that spawned the us was invented.
mircea_popescu: apparently primitive hunter-gatherer societies accidentally left behind their time end up in the same ruts.
mircea_popescu: but that aside, anyone else notice the whole tibetan thing reeks of overgrown sioux or somesuch ?
