asciilifeform: and i never liked 'ender'

asciilifeform: not only one.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/09-03-2015#1046786 << 404 ☟︎

asciilifeform: apparently!

asciilifeform: what am i doing wrong

asciilifeform: hm.

asciilifeform: 'i counted, read the cards on the wreaths. said things like, 'from wife', 'from son', 'from mother-in-law' - but none said 'from vodka.' nobody died from vodka.'

asciilifeform: comes back, says,

asciilifeform: husband goes off, actually goes to count.

asciilifeform: wife says to drunken husband, 'every night you drink, drink, you never bring money home, you worthless piece of shit, go visit the cemetary - see how many gravestones say 'died of vodka.'..'

asciilifeform: i will repeat it here, i suppose:

asciilifeform: (new logz broken ?)

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=09-03-2015#1046786 << oblig ☝︎

asciilifeform: meteors ?

asciilifeform: ok who killed mircea_popescu's chums then ?

asciilifeform: on the other hand i recognize that the things i actually like (and consider vital) are very much not widely shared.

asciilifeform: in point of fact i am on record as 'i dun need being 50 yo for anything.'

asciilifeform: different thing.

asciilifeform: i did not say 'would like to live very long time!11' but only that 'not in a hurry to eat the luger yet'

asciilifeform: actually this is not mine

asciilifeform: sleeping in the ground ? like cicada eggs ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: where were they in 1970s su then

asciilifeform: orcs ?

asciilifeform: then who did mircea_popescu's friends ( http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-08#1449148 ) in ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: can haz guru with 2 eyez?

asciilifeform: i burn with eagerness to follow this guru ?!

asciilifeform: (who is drexl ?)

asciilifeform: who?

asciilifeform: since when do we give a flying fuck about 'average adult' ?

asciilifeform: but waitasec

asciilifeform: my scale-model mircea_popescu fails me.

asciilifeform: actually i have certifiably nfi

asciilifeform: i thought it was the wrinkles ?

asciilifeform: same thing.

asciilifeform: if not errorcode --> valid url....

asciilifeform: or could simply load it

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: (roof cheats, can have buttresses, columns.)

asciilifeform: roof.

asciilifeform: rome was lighter use case for structures.

asciilifeform: worx so long as you don't put in cast-iron bathtubs, pianos...

asciilifeform: all i propose is the 'structural steel.'

asciilifeform: every bit as 'space lift tower' is today.

asciilifeform: but recall that prior to structural steel, a 6-story bldg that isn't a pyramid is a 'tower of babel'

asciilifeform: surely not.

asciilifeform: ~some measure of sanity~ is possible.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: present-day state of the art in programs is closer to the arab 'insha'llah' ('allah's will drives atoms to do whatever the fuck they want, what is this science thing') than to anything else.

asciilifeform: admitting mushmind idiocy is a poetteringization of physics.

asciilifeform: in all previous physical theories, there is a solid reality presumed.

asciilifeform: dodging the question of what ~actually~ happens.

asciilifeform: it is a dodge.

asciilifeform will have to come back to this.

asciilifeform: bohr rather.

asciilifeform: actually he privileged observers (e.g., the man, but not the cat)

asciilifeform: he had motherfucking 'sentient observers'

asciilifeform: instead of physics

asciilifeform: an idiocy that ~ought~ to have gotten bohr into a productive and happy life of tractor-driving

asciilifeform: afaik at no point did e proclaim 'this physical system behaves differently when some human is looking at it'

asciilifeform: (he demanded a model that does not admit chance anywhere.)

asciilifeform: it is precise opposite.

asciilifeform: he was into 'clockwork world' aha.

asciilifeform: i am

asciilifeform: where?

asciilifeform: fine, in his entire body of work

asciilifeform: (as bohr did)

asciilifeform: quote me where einstein in his ~productive~ life privileged man.

asciilifeform: nowhere.

asciilifeform: he did not.

asciilifeform: where did e put in 'magical brain rays collapsing wavefunction'

asciilifeform: nope.

asciilifeform: successfully.

asciilifeform: and connived to bring back vitalism.

asciilifeform: vitalist.

asciilifeform: the man was in a deeper sense an antiscientist than lysenko.

asciilifeform: and i see his respectability as wholly engineered and 'aged statesman' dowager crud.

asciilifeform: i have 0 respect for the vitalist bohr.

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: i also read caesar, where do i 'show' ~that~.

asciilifeform: yeah i get it i read nietzsche too

asciilifeform: (the most reality-based hypothesis is that ~asciilifeform~ simply isn't 133337 enough to score decent gig)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is a charitable interpretation

asciilifeform: 'you have died of [death] ! please play again.' -- 'oregon trail'

asciilifeform: ah

asciilifeform: after meteor 'nuke winter'

asciilifeform: i thought they died of starvation?

asciilifeform: error:1408F119:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac] << ?!

asciilifeform: either that or we get eaten.

asciilifeform: as a matter of fact, we will.

asciilifeform: ultimately all living things want ridiculous things that could not possibly exist.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: who said it could.

asciilifeform: ding!

asciilifeform: phf is a winner!

asciilifeform: jurov: business requires capital.

asciilifeform: he has it.

asciilifeform: why hard.

asciilifeform: more still, if you count the 'tax breaks' other usians get (e.g. mortgage) that i don't.

asciilifeform: jurov: i presently pay ~50% tax.

asciilifeform: jurov: from my current position it is as fantastical as going to mars.

asciilifeform: jurov: nah, if i wanted to play, i oughta have played when i was 5

asciilifeform: from my admittedly amateur understanding, mircea_popescus are produced when power verticals ~collapse~ and teenagers are competing in re cutting throats rather than who can be best young sov bureaucrat.
