mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so
they did, yes. OURDEMOCRACY is older
than calvin.
mircea_popescu: yet
these "measures of all
things" exemplars of pure humanity,
that honestly believe
their heads are capable of any lifting, if
they "just had
the facts" hurr durr lol lol snort, nevertheless can't see far enough ahead
to realise
they're "leaderless" because
their leaders are out and out bullshit, and for no other reason.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: any half drunk habitual rapist "soldier"
throughout history could have summoned enoujgh sense, in
the depths of his stupor, adding up five moments of clarity worth
ten minutes dispersed over six weeks
to figure out
that "hey,
the fact our so called army has nobody marching in front speaks poorly of its chances or human quality"
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the imbecile redditard, who we shall name isis agora fuckhead for no apparent reason except obviously why, ACTUALLY BELIEVEs
that it's all
the rage and highly fashionable
to be part of leaderless "spontaneous movements".
mircea_popescu: and speaking of
this, it's not JUST ows.
the "gamergate" bs is also exactly
the same
thing -- "leaderless" because
the actual leadership is both
too pussyfied
to actually step in front of
the
troops, and
too fucking stupid
to even sort out ideological difficulties and so make such stepping
theoretically meaningful.
mircea_popescu: that's basically bottle service, can have any day of
the week
mircea_popescu: did
that look
to you like it's capable of boiling frogs any faster ?
mircea_popescu: you drastically overestimate
the ability of
the enemy, and
this appears
to you as slowness.
think : all
they could do, ALL
they could do
to anoint
the obama dork was ows.
mircea_popescu: that's because
there's no inflation, happens naturally.
mircea_popescu: if
today people started dropping cable subscription en masse,
the last mile isps would petition congress and it'd become illegal
to do, like electricity.
mircea_popescu: by now, it's
the govt
that keeps alive both isp and otakus using
them.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cuz stiff and shambling. but expect
the shitty isps
to start "experimenting" with it
mircea_popescu: but anyway -- state dun just go away because we fucked
their dumbass ipv6.
they'll just you know, same shit, different node.
mircea_popescu: the whole "private net" a campus is prolly
the way of
the future. "this is
the US 4.4.4.4. argentina got a diff one"
mircea_popescu: the way net works in china,
there's no owner for a bunch of blocks, practically.
mircea_popescu: all
this bakes in
the momentary happenstance
that
the chinese've not yet run out of
things
to do. once
that happens... "cost is no object" as
they say. so
there's an absolute cap on it anyway.
mircea_popescu: keep facing it with
the easy money now dilemma.
they ALWAYS make
the same choice, which simplifies
the management of
their rape significantly.
mircea_popescu: wringing it away is worth it in and of itself,
that's how you destroy
the crown.
mircea_popescu: ~because
there's still agreement
that
that'll cost
too much.
mircea_popescu: granted, ips are slightly different. but not
THAT different.
mircea_popescu: in practice,
there's no such
thing as a disloyal woman. just women who've not yet met anyone worth bothering with in
the sea of schmucks.
mircea_popescu: nothing easier
than
to overestimate
the strength of a length of chain. kinda what compsec
turns out
to be all about all
the
time also.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, back in
the day i used
to specifically buy "trained whore", "will run back".
they... never did.
mircea_popescu: turns out, when you attempt
to
taiwanize your master, your master instead
taiwanizes you.
mircea_popescu: the crazy batshit
they have
to argue. "oh, ethereum is rapemeat but
totally worth
the money also ethereum never happened also ethereum has nothing
to do with
the enthusiams, also black chix code, also
that doesn't matter, also"
mircea_popescu: thanlks god for
the magical alien lizard nazis of bitcoin!
mircea_popescu: Framedragger anyway, appreciate
the wisdom of having all
that idiotic bubbling consumer behaviour at
the outskirts of bitcoin, and
the unmitigated power and awesome finesse of actually implementing
the wisdom.
mircea_popescu: hey,
teh value of a
trader is directly proportional
to how many dumbass shit
they posted on reddit.
totally.
mircea_popescu: "nothing happened,
the woman was pushing 300 lbs." "i'm not
taking any nutritionism advice from
THAT."
mircea_popescu: "yes it was
today but we didn't go" "well we went, but it was like in and out" "yeah"
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, girlz got a gym membership ; and since it was included
they set up nutritionist meeting. why
the hell not, right ?
shinohai: jeez I was lacking in lulzworthy submissions
this month BingoBoingo
mircea_popescu: i dont
think
those folks read anything online. including
their own barf. since 2004 or so
sina: have a good day/evening
tmsr
sina: tax lodged, off
to get some dumplings and help a friend move stuff
sina: today is
tax day in AU
Framedragger: if

to regain cases, i'm all up for it
mircea_popescu: if spell checkers go on strike for a week
that's it for "English"
mircea_popescu: it'd quite incredible hjow much of
the us is an oral culture by now. hepacitis my unicode.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 16:48 asciilifeform: speaking of which, i've been wanting
to discuss 'simplest cpu' for a while.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 16:13 mircea_popescu:
this is how conversations go -- if you're
talking
to alf, he's gonna mention it himself ; if
talking
to anyone else, you hit
them over
the head with it.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 16:09 asciilifeform: now : certain processes
that divide into arbitraily many - and, importantly, ~arbitrarily fungible~ slices -- are good fits for chumpnet
BingoBoingo: GDP biases
towards cows and printing presses
mircea_popescu: gdp is ~meaningless. it is entirely government window dressing in socialist countries, and entirely "wealth divided
to random number" in sane countries.
the
two are distinguished by "inequality index".
sina: I guess
there is no available "GDP/people who can afford brothel visits" metric
mircea_popescu: which leaves you with a bankrupt 5mn strong portugal and 25mn brazillians with 1mn
to blow on black hookers.
mircea_popescu: except brazil has more industrial base
than ~all of europe, and
that "per capita" is bullshit as half
the country lives on a dollar a day.
sina: GDP/capita in brazil is half of portugal? more money for
the same skin
sina: I mean, from brazil
to portugal
sina: really? I would've imagined
the flow
to go opposite direction
mircea_popescu: ~the entire raison d'etre of portugal altogether is as "that place where black chicks from africa go
to learn portuguese before being shipped
to work in brazil brothels."
mircea_popescu: have you SEEN
the unemployment rates in portugal ? esp among "college graduates" ? and have you seen what redditardation are portuguese unis ?
sina: but I will read
the pimp article nonetheless
sina: sir where I live
the sun is rising and where you live it may be falling
mircea_popescu: portugal has a large redditard population and nothing else.
they need weed for crowd control like
the us needs prozac.

than reddit
