Framedragger: (author did not respond
to query, before anyone asks)
Framedragger realised
the
term "inflection point" was actually used in
the article itself (in a footnote), in
the sense i had in mind, so needless
to say, not an original point
BingoBoingo: And as socialists candadians
treat money and markets as a waste stream
BingoBoingo: Nah, it's
the body
trying
to control blood sugar by dumping it
through
the piss
ben_vulpes: i suppose
then yes, except for
the actually producing piss part.
ben_vulpes: reminds me of
the story of
the american producer visiting canada who refused
to sniff
the maple-scented bills, certain
that he was being
trolled.
BingoBoingo: In
the "Sad
That Not Scammed Files": You need
to stop giving a fuck about how your car looks. I was cross shopping clean RSX-Ss against my CRZ, and I got a bargain basement CRZ at $7500. You paid $2300, maybe a
third of what a nice one costs.
The only amazing
thing here is
that you are stunned
that your car
that cost a
third of "what it should" has
tons of problems.
ben_vulpes: "baby you are entirely capable of deducing what
the new buttons do, i don't want
to hear
that kind of nonsense from you any more."
mircea_popescu: the only fuckoff.sh for not having a dilated asshole and insulted prostate is... not
taking cock up
the ass. sadly ? I
THINK NOT!!!
ben_vulpes: "oh gosh, you know i
think i'm
too old
to learn a new ui"
ben_vulpes: sadly,
the only fuckoff.sh for new apple retardation is not buying apple products
ben_vulpes: it is abhorrent
that apple decided
to display who's
texting me over my movies.
ben_vulpes did
turn all notifications off on all mobile devices
mircea_popescu: fuck
that shit, give me a country run by pimps and hookers, i do not want
to see more "college educated" "respectable" schmucks raise head above water.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi who imagines anyone would want
to live in a world run by
the bureaucrats in preference of a world run by
the drug dealers. am i really supposed
to believe a guy who always sells
the amount he promises is not
to be
trusted with government, whereas a conclave of disgusting crows
that never fail
to break
their promises are naturally recommended for
the job ?
mircea_popescu: in
the latest lulz re banking scams,
third world banks discovered
that if
they just charge for wires anyway, notwitstanding sent OUR, nobody'll know
the difference.
mircea_popescu: basically "modern culture" is strictly
this : a special monkery where idiotic monks re-do
the copying of old manuscripts in
the font of
the year.
mircea_popescu: thanks god for progress, see, we can now re-do all
the boccaccio which we pretend
to not exist, because
the old redos are no longer cogent of
the new set of hyeroglyphs.
mircea_popescu: could make a whole bunch of "clever" romcoms around
the newly upgraded mistaken identity comedy, omg his watch flashed.
Framedragger: like, apple watch can start flashing when precum is estimated
to be secreted
mircea_popescu: could get a ----- BEGIN DICK DESCRIPTOR ----- header
that'd allow ytou
to estimate upfront.
mircea_popescu: maybe
they could add
them
to foreskins, could pay per stroke.
mircea_popescu: sort of last-stop on
the
train ride between virginity and mother of
two. nobody can recount what happened in
the intervening decade
a111: Logged on 2017-05-15 16:24 mircea_popescu: yes,
the ass
that died of
thirst and hunger being
trapped equally
thirsty and hungry at equal distance from a pail of water and a pail of oats.
mircea_popescu: the idea being
that "i fucking love britney spears because here's a painting of her in my bedroom" in 2004, "i fucking love science because here's a painting of science in my bedroom" 2005,
then hs ended moved
to dorm got stoned and plugged in all
the holes.
mircea_popescu: something with false color renderings of outer space
telescope shots
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 17:04 mircea_popescu: i don't
think you either know or could meet if you dedicated a year
to it someone possessed of an ai capable of identifying who
the fuck
to shoot.
mircea_popescu: cogent challenge
to authority is a finnicky-er order
than readily intuited by
the desperate adolescent
a111: Logged on 2017-05-12 00:57 mircea_popescu: how about "bitch, if you could know
truth if it hit you on
the head you'd be in power". not fucking evident enough ? how
the fuck are
the powerless
to obtain
truth, from
their father,
the god of
the stupid ?
mircea_popescu: without exception one claiming "i fucking love science" or "where can i find just
the facts" or etcetera is merely rejecting what
they perceive as
the NORMAL authority, in favour of an unvoiced alternative
they deem superior.
Framedragger: (will produce
text from mind if anything good comes up, but likely won't)
Framedragger: i suppose one cannot avoid
this general structural, at least i can't, yeah. does wonders for my ongoing internal-anarchism debate :D
mircea_popescu: whether you are obeying
the words of darius,
the greatest man-god
to walk
the sands around babylon, carried
to your ears by a stout fellow in weird pajamas ; or
the echoes of
the voice of some dumb woman nobody liked, whom you'de irrationalyl decided is important beyond all else in nature ; or
the strange flickers of a
tube which "is impersonal and
therefore
truthful, pay no attention at
the jew behind
the screen", in point o
Framedragger: (heh,
this relates in my head re
taleb's "trust yer biology!!" point (iterated in multiple places))
mircea_popescu: because every
time baby-thought runs into insurmountable problem, it runs off
to mommy "random" box. which is not random
to mommy now is it.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: devil's advocate: can attempt
to resist where-to-go paradox without making reference
to authority if you admit
that agent's free will can also include (while still counting as free will) "unconscious heuristics" ("water is priority"; but yes
this is missing
the point, i guess) / "random behaviour" (buridan would disagree
that
this is "free will", i guess)
mircea_popescu: the rest is just whitewash, mostly by people who imagine authority is something
they can personally deny. speak
truth
to power or something.
mircea_popescu: if you pretend "rationality" ie "i fucking love science" ie, meaning-afore-authority
to be
the prime mover.
Framedragger: if you constrain free will
to rational-agent-acts only,
then yeah, paradox applies.. right?
mircea_popescu: (amusingly enough, lots of "engineers" esp of
the computing
type display
the behaviour.)
mircea_popescu: yes,
the ass
that died of
thirst and hunger being
trapped equally
thirsty and hungry at equal distance from a pail of water and a pail of oats.
☟︎ Framedragger: the paradox re free will, been a long
time
tho
mircea_popescu: how
this works, whoever has nice weather ends up falling behind in
textile mill development.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger latin is not so far off from predicate symbol notation in
the first place, which easement did slow down
the development of hte cleanner
tool.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the amusing parallel ot all
this is, of course,
the "plain reading" of
the us constitution.
Framedragger: one $sadthing re aristotle is
that he did all his logic in verbal syllogisms. which is ~fine, but omg did predicate symbol notation help... and it
took a long while. same with middle age logic (buridan et al, not an expert
tho). guess knowing lating well helps a lot,
tho :/
mircea_popescu: he had a whole workshop producing cutlery devoid of handles but missing
the business end.
mircea_popescu: aristotle built plenty of machines
that didn't work also.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-15 15:25 mircea_popescu:
THIS MUST BE BECAUSE ~I~ AM NOT A PROGRAMMER.
mircea_popescu: i live among a people who prefer
textual renditions of paths
to actual map usage, or cartesian addressing mechanisms.
the notion
that you have a more direct understanding of some house by saying "Fuckenstrasse 17"
than by saying "turn left art
the church and follow
the
tit stamps on
the sidewalk" is ...
mircea_popescu: the fact
that you get an erection watching a picture of Anne rather
than reading "Anne spent her days naked and her
tits were big and milky" is no argument as
to
the ~meaning~. your erections ain't meaningful.
mircea_popescu: carrying meaning with raw geometry. if only.
the easier case for
this would be "carrying love with naked penis", ie, raping your way into marriage.
that has better chances of working
than
the meaning of sheer existence.
mircea_popescu: they already fucking copy/paste
the slides into a shannonized mess.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or maybe because
the hope
that diagrams won't pile up and evolve
to hieroglyphs entirely baseless ?
mircea_popescu: somehow
the fact aristotle is a major source of quotes
today in europe, but fukantothmoth or w/e her name was isn't a source of anything for "the great nation of africa" idem dun bother. why
the fuck is it
that i can recide names of ancient members of
the republic of letters
to fill an orthodox pomelnik for a full mass, and nobody can name
three fucking egyptian authors he likes. supposedly
they
taught our barbarians magic an
mircea_popescu: somehow
the observation
that
they could read aristotle in
the middle ages but couldn't read egyptian until 1800s doth not bother
the diagramist.
mircea_popescu: i should open a bank offering 100% guaranteed deposits -- for
the poor.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:18 jurov: heh, nice example how alphabet is inferior
to diagrams. if aristotle had drawn a diagrams
that would survive
to
this day, no
translation needed
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-21#1587264 << so delightfully naive, in retrospect. "oh,
the reason alphabet doesn't work is
that
the meaning of words gets lost
through
thousands of years, but if only
they had slideshare
then!
the wholly contentless meaningless diagram is eternal -- nothing
there
to lose!"
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:43 mircea_popescu: now we understand each other. dutch can't be "wrong" about aristotle per se. it is a fact he didn't much understand what
the other said ; and it is a fact
that in
the dutch system, dutch's observations stand, however vaguely greek flavoured
they may be.
mircea_popescu: heck, you could actually draw it out of
the kuhn-popper
theory of paradigm.
mircea_popescu: of course, it's not generally
the way of
tv personalities
to inquire what'd be
the
table stakes.
they're just
there, right ?
a111: Logged on 2017-05-15 15:09 Framedragger: so instead of writing code i now need
to write a code editor which can break code lines code-semantically? :/
mircea_popescu: trinque or alternatively you could draw it directly from aristotle and
the discussions of prime movers.
though
the subtleties of scholastics are not well understood by
the "modern" mind.
trinque: if one can't derive ought from is, and authority dispenses commands, not so hard
to process.
mircea_popescu: in
the sense pointing and laughing is some kind of anti-mongoloid, sure.
mircea_popescu: there is no possiblity of meaning outside of a structure of authority, and
the authority can not be predicated on
the meaning.
☟︎☟︎ Framedragger: i don't have a strong case but don't consider all of analytic philosophy
to be just "public intellectuals". a *large lot* of it, sure, so makes sense
to just dismiss all of it for
the sake of saving
time / internal sanity
mircea_popescu: and it dun has anything
to do with
the french style of going on
tv. anglo derp sitting in his office "writing" for "peer reviewed" etc is not doing anything different. it's just a shitty
tv channel nobody
tunes in,
the nature channel,
the peer reviewed channel, etc.
