mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu amusingly has. nsa made
the worst deal in history by you know, buying parts and
then
trying
to sell
them as a result.
mircea_popescu: it is very much not how
they
think, but it is how
they speak.
mircea_popescu: the little nigerian girl dreaming of a flying pony, barefoot under
the banana
tree may well be denominated in fucking pula for all it matters.
mircea_popescu: and you further know i'm right because you're welcome
to "buy"
the 3 ring binder
they have, not
the computer you want.
mircea_popescu: and you know i'm right, because soviet distributed goods in
the exact same manner, and ppl... didn't "pay" units of nothing for
them. and
this had no impact whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: describing
the masturbation of units of nothing as "buying something" is a stretch.
mircea_popescu: if i promise you a
talking donkey and a cunt on your forehead in 2020, and you don't get
them,
this means i confiscated a
talking donkey and a forehead cunt ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nothing was confiscated because
there was nothing
THEY HAD!
mircea_popescu: the whole "inca promise is liquidated when made and
therefore when not kept it is confiscation not scamming" is pretty lulzy.
mircea_popescu: your idea is very feminine, you know, "i met
this crook, and he
told me ia cu mustar mimisor ca face bine la
ten and
that he'll marry me. so i imagined myself practically married. and
then he didn't marry me. so he confiscated my marriedness!"
mircea_popescu: we shall here call
the ideology at
time
t "inca" and at
t' "tmsr".
mircea_popescu: at
time
t (=9th grade) all girls in "community" found
themselves in agreement sucking cock is gross. at
time
t' (=12 grade) all girls in "community" found
themselves in agreement only peasant girls don't suck
the cock.

http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=8142 << "Her attorney informed us
this morning,
that although
the deed is being assigned
to my sister, my brother and I,
that if my mother requires nursing home care
through Medicare at any point over
the next five years,
that
the Feds will
take
the house
to pay
the bills. "
mircea_popescu: the limit
to
the capital outflows is not
the "individual" decisions of
the incans lmao.
mircea_popescu: there never was. let
them
take
the
tsar's portrait
to
their grave and
that'll be an end
to
that.
diana_coman: my understanding is
that asciilifeform
talks basically of
those who are
too old
to keep up, pretty much
mircea_popescu: there's no way out of
this.
there will NEVER be such a
thing as respectable poverty. it's called slavery, and
the poor
that aren't slaves are in open rebellion against god, nature, and everything good right and proper.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this is not an argument. so
the surgeon you speak of is either inexistent or
too dumb for his own good. what of it ?
diana_coman: asciilifeform,
the sane-but-humble folx you speak of simply ask nicely and humbly someone who knows better and gather around
those rather
than "being pushed away"
mircea_popescu: you understand
this ? "opening" code so
that blackchixcode can "contribute" "their" ideas is not improving
the code. it's actually introducing a cost, of
the magnitude of running a free buffett for crack whores.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because
their labour is worthj a negative sum of money.
mircea_popescu: if
they wish
to cease being scum, let
them get off windows or w/e.
mircea_popescu: moreover, your model veers dangerously close
to "sane but poor".
there is no such
thing as "respectable poor".
the poor are scum. substantially.
mircea_popescu: consider
the sad case of djb
to see
the great win of NOT wasting your resources.
mircea_popescu: what matters is whether
there's one lord or
ten assassinating usg drones etc. not random joe blow. not AT ALL.
mircea_popescu: the dollar at sub bitcent per
thousand or per
trillion has nothing
to do with what
the idiots do or what happens
to
the idiots.
mircea_popescu: the notion
that
the price of btc /
the fall of constantinople / etc hjave anything
to do with
this is so much lulz.
mircea_popescu: would you propose a
transition from alt-mehmed
to mehmed would improve
the soldiery quality of
the
turkish janissary ?
mircea_popescu: consider
the case of mehmed and alt-mehmed. now, mehmed has
the historically accurate cannons which 4% of
the
time blow up and kill some servants. whereas alt-murat has
the imaginary alt-cannons which still 4% of
the
time blow up naturally, and also include a "blow up" button, which, if depressed, 4% of
the
time blows up in
the same way.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform less-losable btc does not float all boats, in
the exact manner public school literacy doesn't float all boats ; or "Everyone learns lisp" floats all boats.
mircea_popescu: some are born
to endless night, and just as many
today as ever.
mircea_popescu: not
that part is in contention. but
that
this has NEVER changed, nor ever will.
mircea_popescu: 1817 sicilians still did it as in 817 and 183 bc.
traditional society, which means,
they don't change
THE FORMS of
the stupidity. still dumb as rocks.
mircea_popescu: they exist for
the above stated reason. you understand
that before
they had pantsuits,
they had little figurines
they dressed up and promenaded around
town ?
diana_coman: just nothing
to do with curing anyone in itself,
that's all
mircea_popescu is entirely not against doing, but better
to do with reasonable expectations.
mircea_popescu: but
there is no education of
the human race generally, nor any benefit in
trying.
mircea_popescu: yes, sane wallet would be useful as part of baleen system
to extract not-retarded individual somehow unaware/lost among
the retards.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, fwiw I have yet
to see even 1 single person cured of
their stupidity by
the existence of sanity in
the world
mircea_popescu: as per
the ancient "i sold my shares once
the soubrette i was fucking on
the side started
talking shares with
the bootblack"
mircea_popescu: so no, poor people not owing any money is not a problem. it is in fact
the fundamental guarantee ~REQUIRED~ by any sound financial system, much like atmosphere is required for auricular function.
mircea_popescu: it's basicalyl a blind seeking of hillaries,
they herd as a behaviou searching
the environment space for a pantsuit
to "lead
them" into welfare statism.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the retard does not ever do
that. what
the retard does is herd.
mircea_popescu: not ~ONLY~ everyone
thought 1 means 2, but
the same "everyone"
thought i'm "arrogant" or w/e, "psychopath" for saying
things like "you are not qualified"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, you might not see how anyone might
think, but
then again you'll be stuck explaining 2012
tardstalk.
mircea_popescu: whereas retard braions leak, because
that's
the definition of retard, and
then mpoe-pr has
to pen psas about "hey, retards, you being qualified for 1 and
thinking you're qualified for 2
threatens
the very fucking market"
mircea_popescu: these are all different
things. yes
the mental bar for 1 should plateau eventually ; but
this does not qualify
the qualified
to 2 or 3 or 4.
mircea_popescu: but
there's different bars
to 1. hold bitcoin ; 2. productively employ bitcoin ; 3. productively work on bitcoin code ; 4. participate in
tmsr.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what
the retard "thinks" is of no consequence in any way.
mircea_popescu: because at age 6
the difference between you and average had unfolded
to a
term of x, whereas in a further four years it had unfolded
to a further y, x ^ n as it may be.
mircea_popescu: consider how
the republic works, it's
the same
thing : at some point in
tmsr history, nubbins could qualify
to participate. at some later point, adlai couldn't manage
to pass
the bar.
mircea_popescu: as
things go on,
the quality ratchets, and lo and behold : bioscum
that was still functional by yest's criteria is no longer apt
today.
mircea_popescu: at stage n, when bitcoin exists, curtis yarvin is
too stupid
to understand why it's much bigger
than him ; and
the mental efforts of marginal retard are just about comensurate with
the sub dollar value of a coin.
