mircea_popescu: ^ maybe next they can has a referendum too.
mircea_popescu: jurov so wait, the fact that it was downed by a missile is not disputed ? then why's this relevant ?
mircea_popescu: "Investigation into the chemical composition showed that they are remains from a BUK missile, among which fragments from the warhead – the pay load. The fragment of the warhead consists of a low-quality alloy of steel common to this form of ammunition. It appears from electroscopic enlargements that a fragment shows a cast-on Cyrillic serial number from the Russian language next to a partly broken number 2."

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the only reason we know about him is the gigantic crew of usg photographers and a usg planetary mediachumatron ready to endlessly reprint the photo
mircea_popescu: ascii_field the idea that as the skin fails away the body can move to a 2nd line of defense is ridiculous. people with burns over 80% of the surface don't survive on their own.
ascii_field: my model is more of a hypothesis re: what tools usg will pick up when the usual ones (magick away the universe with idiot media tricks) begin to fail
mircea_popescu: a simpler time.
mircea_popescu: your model's anchored in an older time, a quieter time.
mircea_popescu: your model worked fine in a world of lumberjacks and church bell towers a day's walk away from each other.

mircea_popescu: costs, baby. nothing's more expensive than action, especially when you're in a swamp.
mircea_popescu: a year ago it was at best dubious.
mircea_popescu: i doubt anyone seriously believes she moves into anything but a jail cell once term ends. ☟︎

ascii_field: which is a bad deal, and for whom ?
mircea_popescu: now, granted, a transhumanist in the audience aged about 11 and with an education consisting mostly of harry potter books may think himself so important that this is a bad deal.
ascii_field: unless he hides in putin's house, he'll be disappeared for less than a whitehouse dinner costs
ascii_field: pulling a grigorenko
mircea_popescu: the dod accuses him so and so,. he's all over al jazeera explaining what a poopyhead obama is.
mircea_popescu: suppose petreus didn't go down for it, went on a snowden tour. what then ?
ascii_field: outrageous things such as lowering a general into pederasty, for example

mircea_popescu: but this banal fact is not a fact.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back on the "salvation" angle : is the doctor who cures your cancer savbing you ? suppose you die coming out of the hospital run over by a bus. what salvation ?
mircea_popescu: think for a second of the "antisocial struggle" example : every shot cop costs the state millions, and the shooter a bullet.
mircea_popescu: the situation is that some guys are trying to torment the universe. this is dysfunctional as a plan.
mircea_popescu: your ideas work in this situation where the usg is "the universe" and the guy it torments just a guy.

mircea_popescu: it's exactly the same thing, for a new, and "dark" generation.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron anyway, nazism also aimed to make the wortld a better place. this is indisputable. and it also aimed to do this by empowering a subgroup at the expense of other subgroups, which it perceived , falsely, as oppressive. the identity between internet feminism and fascism is quite indisputable.
mircea_popescu: finally a chance to exercise that fiat justitia, pereat mundi thing, and entirely within one's own hand. how to pass such a thing ?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057738 << it is. people (especially people kinda too lazy to study things in depth) have all sorts of theories about privacy and keep pestering me for special addresses etc. it's a fashion is what it is, one i don't aim to encourage, and i'm stuck because w/e, serving teh customer. ☝︎☟︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: mostly because autofill adds a space then i have to delete it etc. serves no purpose either.
mircea_popescu: danke. but rly, add-deed is spurious, it should just presume it if a naked url is presented. and i hate those :
