mircea_popescu: for
the people who hallucinate choice where
there is no space for
them
to choose, a usg will always be found somewhere.
mircea_popescu: and so now all of 'em got exactly what
they were asking for. no more "evil banana republic" and
their sense of "superior detachment' unhindered.
they can roll
their eyes all
they want ; and it's not just
the last but also
the only
thing
to do.

this is observably
true, in history :
the proposition
that "it's a great idea
to live above your means" was
the proximate cause of "french revolution" and every other socialist attack on money hence

the proposition
that we'd end up with a sort of uci-as-nsa and l1-as-subtstitute-for-dnc is very much
the proposition
that, "you know what ? inca also corrupts"

to a different department" etc. and at least one death
that we knew was no longer "bratki"

the 90s with amateur esotericists. i didn't actually get
to play
the businessman, so didn't acquire any of
these skills

the problem is
that
the russian intellectual pose is very irritating
to me.
the whole fucking
text exists so
that
the author can "roll his eyes" however you say
that in russian, aka
to bake in somehow unobservedly
the proposition
the speaker and all
those like him aren't horse's asses. it doesn't amuse me in 16yo usian chicks ; let alone in 36 yo russian doods.

thing is, even if you don't want for anything
the 'milk' (cpu cycles etc) of pwned derp, and simply going for max materiel damage, formatting hdd is not necessarily
the max

the sheer hilarity of
the 'they revoked key based on faux signature!11' by same derp who heckled
the 'peter anvin' key affair

☟︎☟︎ phf: by
the
time i started figuring out
the socioeconomic part of
the question it was a year
too late (they started
tightening
the screws some
time before putin came
to power, which was not so much
the beginning but
the announcement of
the done deal. i remember '99
the situation of a lot of people changed drastically.)

☟︎ phf: that, and subtitled Brat is pretty much all you need
to understand moscow in
the 90s :p
phf: i found a "собрание сочинений" pack of his english
texts, but it doesn't have dpp, nor is amazon etc.
turning up a
translated version.
phf: is
there an eng version?
phf: no, unfortunately, hardcover book picked up on a moscows
trip

pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: also,
that you framed "i
think with
this" shows
that... you're head. hate
to break it
to you.
to "think with gut" is
to choose a restaurant
to eat at not
to open a restaurant.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't actually recall his role in
the anvin affair
a111: Logged on 2017-07-20 22:19 pete_dushenski: of course
there are proportions at play, no one is 100% any one
thing, but mp is at least 3/4 gut, stan at least 3/4 head,
thus

☟︎ pete_dushenski: "Caskets can cost
thousands of dollars
to buy, and are even being sold in some major supermarket chains. But at
the Coffin Club, members only need
to supply
their own materials. Russell Game is a club mentor but he is also making a coffin for himself. "It's so much cheaper
than buying a coffin," he said."

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-20#1687858 << simplistic, almost shamanistic
though it is,
there is perhaps useful
trichotomy of heart-heart-gut, being
three possible answers for "why" a given person does a given
thing. heart because of how it makes her feel and how it makes
the people around her feel ; head because it's cerebrally satisfying ; gut because gotta get
the fucking show on
the road already here.

there IS a fine oracle, why bother with more.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> middling. why ? << Only middling when you play for
the sport of it. IRL you decapitate opponent's king with bolt cutters and dare
them
to object

time
to add

testing of it
mircea_popescu: dumbfounding shitnonsense is
this anyway. i do
the
things i do because
they ARE!
the right
things
to do. present fucking
tense. not because i'm hopping such and such a
tomorrow as'll make
them retrospectively
the right
things. wtf is even
this, inflatothink.
