mircea_popescu: in the following sense : printing money renders sense arbitrary, and if sense is arbitrary then specialists become just another kind of voodoo practitioners. nobody cancelled the "if you're gonmna hire a voodoo priest, hire the cheapest" rule, and so here we are.

mircea_popescu: see, if i decide going back to 11th grade, i wouldn't replace ONE 17yo
mircea_popescu: this notion of one to one replacement as a necessity is a little bizarre, to my ears. also the notion that a 17yo could interdict any field to me is a little odd.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: meanwhile on the other end, we still dun have pogos going, because reasons of racial purity.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: mno. from the outside it looks like a bunch of unemployable / mentally retarded adults + a bunch of homeless/orphan/parentally neglected children getting frothed at the mouth over the third pass of incredibly banal, fundamentally broken nonsense.
mircea_popescu: "The Ethereum ecosystem is incredibly exciting, but from an outsider perspective it might seem like just another fringe idea"
