mircea_popescu: i guess so. there were some other items scattered about re what should go in the config file for vtron
mircea_popescu: you know, if they just uber'd ows over to your house, the us could also do 11pm
mircea_popescu: "it's cool that 3 dudes will show up to fix your ac at 11pm ; it's sad that they're not particularily qualified to fix anytrhing, or even be indoors, really..."
mircea_popescu: <billymg> trinque: update on progress: after several nights of heavy drinking i managed to also catch a cold. <<< bwahahah ok this was pretty lulzy.
mircea_popescu: on top of it being the exact situation in the field, it's also something easy enough to digest for orc mind.
mircea_popescu: so communicate that, how hard can it be. "oh, cisco, so last century. white man has made even more cornell-ian cornell nao."
mircea_popescu: in any case -- our objerction to the microshit/cisco/cornell pile is that they're NOT NEARLY WHITE ENOUGH, for our tastes.
mircea_popescu: lol dun take it so hard. i dunno you're doing anything wrong, what.
mircea_popescu: you literally came from the future, all those boyiush fantasies of "what if i landed in medieval blabla" are ~this.
mircea_popescu: it's weird, yers. but in the circumstances as i understand them, weird is 500x times better than trite, "hello sir, i r guampatambatam from my country india"
mircea_popescu: and don't be ashamed/shy away from saying things like "i'm a representative of the most serene republic of bitcoin, we're looking to build etc".
mircea_popescu: anyway, make it a point of conversation. prolly will help dredge for you.
mircea_popescu: talk about it to the dude and to all older local males you can find.
mircea_popescu: this "cars for all comers" toyota program of doom gotta cease.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also a good idea. the girls know how many times i went "car license - 100k!"
mircea_popescu: maybe the idea is that since people will focus on the list, they'd rather them focus on the negative list and try to get out than focus on the positive and try to break the system.
mircea_popescu: people's problems -- in their heads. it's the 3rd millenium after a ll.
mircea_popescu: which reminds me of a bon mot i put out 20 years ago. "rich dude" of the warren buffett/alexander abramov was building house. very large, somerwaht brutalistic, remarkably small windows. "why are the windows so small ?!" "he's trying to re-create his prison experience".
mircea_popescu: if only qatar took over south tyrol, we'd have something.
mircea_popescu: "Financial Services Worker" ; "Barber Beautician" yup it's 100% directed at them too
mircea_popescu: if cr implemenrted this same thing, "no driving license for office drone / cal lcenter chickie / whatever pipedream "professional" class" they'd have 0 problems left to fix.
mircea_popescu: i have a feeling all these discussions will be referenced lots and lots in future, i'd rather not have anything trashed later "for lack of evidence".
mircea_popescu: isn't speciation an incredible fucking phenomenon ? how can such divides naturally occur ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, turns out qatar suffers from inverse problem of white world -- OVERmanaged.
mircea_popescu: not AT ALL how sv works lol. this is MIT emulator, 30 years later and made out of shit&hay.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they did not read/understand colon-ial history.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1863981 << one idea is, most of these4 people prolly have a gf, who is possibly attempting to "live independently". talk to whatever aspirational class girlies do there ? "real estate agent" is it in latam ; maybe "expensive shop 5th avenue of doha" ? thjat was ~it in bucharest.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: i'm saying they missed the convenient doping in the mental dielectric to allow the sparking of "this! what we do is THIS!"
mircea_popescu: but i'm not saying it shouldn't have been done or couldn't have been done just as well
mircea_popescu: huge north-south difference in earth. a little like -- will find more bug residue on car windshield than back-facing spoilers.
mircea_popescu: not that they did drill that much. but then again neither did stalin, at first.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ancient aluvionary plain. dead as disco.
mircea_popescu: but yes, totally -- go to college, on entrance test basis, 100% free, luxurios accomodations even. however at the end of it, the bottom half straight to kolyma.
mircea_popescu: i think the problem was they permitted buenos aires agglomeration
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so sad all the 70s dictatorships failed. argentina'd have been a way better place if the junta shot 10x more students and beat ~all of them.
mircea_popescu: somehow managed to maintain bizarre taboos, such as "not using same dishes/flatware" across sexual orientation.
mircea_popescu: anyway, what the dudes did have was a very strangely nordic, respectful and ellaborate ritual dealing with homosexuality.
mircea_popescu: ie, guy who was gonna steal a cookie was gonna steal a cookie ; that in the one case where he stole it he saw some guy stealing from a jar in miami so "he was emboldened by the sight" is entirely uncausative. he'd have stolen it because a spider climbed the wall and similarily "inspired" his dumb ass.
mircea_popescu: it's funny how the worst traits of pantsuitism export easiest.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so they went to all this trouble to vote themselves a ~1mn annuity ?
mircea_popescu: especially if elite talent's stuck there boring with it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform competency rather than connectivity is discussed.
mircea_popescu: "he'll pick a lock and you'll be shot" "oh... i know ;(".
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, was ~always~ the case. during soviet times, i recall older guy saying to (friend) who worked at jail, "god fucking help you if an actual thief ever ends up in there".
mircea_popescu: i'd say sqft of prison floor is actually slightly more deranged than sqft of starbucks
mircea_popescu: or to use yest's terminology, after years of being maintained and populated by intelligent people, carcel central suddenly ran into a smart guy.
mircea_popescu: then runs into actual human, suddenly the whole thing's closer to a drawing than anyone realised.
mircea_popescu: ioned tend to apply. "did that fix things ?" "i did what was in the book" "but did it work ?" "what do you want from me! what i do is just a gig! it's not my life!!!".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not necessarily that it happened ; but you gotta understand the interaction between massively multiplayer ineptitude and internalized castration. prison sits there for years at a stretch without encountering an actual human being, 100% redditards spinning in their own internalized mental narratives, incapable of finding way out of paper bag. slowly decays, under imaginary maintenance, the sort that the aforement
