asciilifeform: but can also these other things.
asciilifeform: and contemplating trbtronics, rather than praying to vishnu ?
asciilifeform: so why is mircea_popescu eating cake and not rusty nails ?
asciilifeform: why not just fellate our pistols every morning while enemy is still alive ?
asciilifeform: well, to re-connect the frags, i take issue with everett's device as problem solving tool, because if you admit it, none of the other things we do make any sense
asciilifeform: side thread
asciilifeform: ah the not-caring olympics l0l
asciilifeform: he left.

asciilifeform: largely since i never get the sense he is discussing a place where he ~lives~
asciilifeform: and this is where we find out that mircea_popescu stands outside heat death.
asciilifeform: not in closed system !
asciilifeform: and the beast can't exactly grow a new brain if environment changes and it could take the chance of moving to a new rock.
asciilifeform: this is adaptive.
asciilifeform: aha.
asciilifeform: ah right
asciilifeform: 'The juvenile sea squirt wanders through the sea searching for a suitable rock or hunk of coral to cling to and make its home for life. For this task, it has a rudimentary nervous system. When it finds its spot and takes root, it doesn't need its brain anymore, so it eats it! It's rather like getting tenure.'

asciilifeform: in the end, the stone - who outlasts all - is most intelligent then.
asciilifeform: where then, the intelligence.
asciilifeform: sometimes it is maladaptive to be larger than roach

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-03-2016#1433733 << i read it. marvelous tale. and - unsurprisingly - barfalicious hollywood film 50 yrs later. ☝︎
asciilifeform: being rather the collective best effort of the king's horses and king's men ?
asciilifeform: or did i dream this.
asciilifeform: i distincly recall stipulation that all 5 games will be played against same thing ?
asciilifeform: since when is this done.
