mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we're discussing the things that are, not the things that could be.
mircea_popescu: if all the gold in the world changed hands right now it would take ~12 years to clear it all.
mircea_popescu: gavin should write a GIP to improve gold transfer blockspace.
mircea_popescu: tbh, the gold delivery process is not large enough. the only way to do it currently is to send delegates to observe assays. takes 7-10 days.
mircea_popescu: much like "IP" had little meaning in the minstrel era.
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, in-wot you can;'t even define "warez".
mircea_popescu: <trinque> maybe 75% because I want in-WoT warez << win.
mircea_popescu: because seriously, nobody needs them nobody wants them and they shouldn't even be here in the first place.
mircea_popescu: because YOU know if you are or you aren't worth shit, and YOU act accordingly.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> mp's argument is hey if you're refugeeing, tanzania is just as good as anywhere else << no. my argument is that if you're refugeeing, where you go to refugee discriminates you. if you go to the eu, you're a scumbag. if you go to tanzania, you're somebody.
mircea_popescu: anton_osika i don't understand what you think pgp sigs have to do with phuctor ?
mircea_popescu: it's like, soviet citizen goes to paris, ahs a decent meal, then is like... "ima sneak these steaks back into leningrad"
mircea_popescu: the rest... fuck it, you got your own life to fuck up.
mircea_popescu: trinque imo it's much better to let kids play their little mmorpg of reality. just explain to them how to level, and how to distinguish paladins from necromancers and lower level from high
mircea_popescu: btw, had some spledid kimchi with my sushi at this local japanese guy's place
mircea_popescu: anyway. anglos are uniquely bad at child rearing. it's like african engineering, english pedadogy and north korean cuisine.
mircea_popescu: and who the fuck decided you even GET to have "expectations". and if you do, why can't it ? it expects the government to fix his bed wetting now!
mircea_popescu: maybe that's what happens for doing so much less [in school] than what was EXPECTED of him.
mircea_popescu: suppose your wife dies in a car crash next year. which can happen, as it happens thousands of times each year. was it the kid's failurew that did it ? no ? how do you know ?
mircea_popescu: and then b) supposing the kid is dumb enough to actually buy it, how the fuck is it going to balance anxiety throughout his life ?
mircea_popescu: * trinque [...] a very angry man about why what I did was below what was expected of me << for the record, i don't think very much of this entire "expectations" verbiage/bs. if you think a little about it, so would you. a) what sort of fucking powerless vulnerable schmuck lets himself get into the position of DEPENDING on a kid ? that's what you're saying. don't say that, not only is it not true it's also very stupid.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <diana_coman> you mean you get a teaspoon of honey whenever he has a tantrum ? :))) << ehehehe see, this is why women are stuck with raising kids.
mircea_popescu: "how come all they ever do is break more of their neighbour's shit!"
mircea_popescu: expecting "the citizenry" to "rebel" and "fix the politics" is not unlike expecting the bearing balls in your busted wheel to rebel and fix your planetary.
mircea_popescu: they just do what's dopne and that's all there is to it.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-09-2015#1272772 << it's very funny to me that all sorts of social media derps take total umbrage to my stating things like "your sexual parts are collectively owned by the otyher gender", but then the community-ownership oif the product thereof is fairly uncontroversial. this is best proof if one needs proof that no, people don't do anything because.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "american" is not a thing, to begin with. he just lives there.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well at the time the romanians considered they owned the place. ie, the shops.
mircea_popescu: the secret police broke a dozen display windows down on the main street. that was most of it.
mircea_popescu: where the fuck is that picture i had of the FOOTBALL FANS packed quietly and safely 10x in the stadium cca 80s
mircea_popescu: "people" don't do anything for any other reason than because "that's what's done".
mircea_popescu: which is why the french strike every week and japanese never did. what treatment ?
mircea_popescu: the people who immigrated into the us ~back when the us was a shithole~ made it great. the people who immigrated after it was great made it a shithole again.
mircea_popescu: that's the big thing. the upwards mobile refugee is the prototype of the scumbag.
mircea_popescu: anyway, 500k pakis in the uk over 20 years produced rotterham, 5mn pakis in eu over 20 weeks will produce...
mircea_popescu: no. cuz white idiots are too fucking weird to even look at each other
mircea_popescu: i am genuinely expecting to see white teens on the open market in the sub-btc range as a result of all this, which is all the better.
mircea_popescu: it's the exact sylogism of germany is a powerhouse i r immigrant there.
mircea_popescu: i hear women live longer, go become a woman to live longer.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` "germany" in the sense of "not them", not germany in the sense of, "everyone in this perimeter".
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i don't follow b and a is a ridiculous strawman effort to somehow gang b.
mircea_popescu: trinque well, i see merit in it. the presumption you can enforce borders comes from what ?
