moriarty: mircea_popescu, so i suppose we ought to thank the popularists for at least reminiscing some of the past arguments for the popular public to enjoy a flavour of, and perhaps bring some publicity to what would otherwise be dusty fields relegated to the backshelves of some university library
mircea_popescu: i don't think the conversation is worth keeping up with.
moriarty: mircea_popescu, well, i guess it was easier being a popular philosopher or statistician in the past, when one did not have to read countless landmark academic papers in order to keep up with the conversation, as one has to these days
moriarty: xmj, i am fully for stupid people not procreating, but i suppose that threatens the sanctity of humanity above the animal kingdom, we seem still unable to fully accept the depedestalisation of homo sapiens

moriarty: mircea_popescu, heh, well i made a fortune off bitcoin, but i never saw the point in holding a strong philosophical stance on the utility of cryptocurrencies
moriarty: mircea_popescu, well, i'd try not to dilute his book into a one-liner, but essentially a blend of technological warfare i.e. guns, a serendipitous adaptability to germs via advances in medicine, and progress in transport hulls made out of steel, which arose incidentally from ideal farming conditions e.g. arable land which gave rise to a choice of livestock, was why the seemingly unequal
moriarty: xmj, i got routed to ##austrians from ##econometrics when someone made an observation that some of my comments leaned towards ancap tendencies, so i'm newer to the scene, although i've always found a blend of hayes/keynes economics to be most delightful
mircea_popescu: and is now doing i dunno what, but probably not much.
moriarty: xmj, lol moldbug is a blogger, i take it?
mircea_popescu: moriarty yeah but i mean, you can construct his argument and bring it at me see what happens
moriarty: but very nice article nevertheless, i haven't read something interesting in awhile :)
xmj: moriarty: trust me, i've been one for three years, i'd know.

assbot: Logged on 13-02-2014 01:28:18; asciilifeform: "You should hold on to some cash, for purely didactic purposes. I remember my great-grandmother, who passed away when I was seven, and I remember playing with her little hoard of kerenki - ruble notes in ridiculously high yet worthless denominations that had been issued by the Russian Provisional Government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Alexander Kerensky... ... I was quite taken with the te
decimation: asciilifeform: I ended up buying http://www.ebay.com/itm/Symmetricom-BC635PCI-V2-OCXO-BC635PCIE-V2-Time-Freq-Processor-/141401396428
decimation: dead usg << I find it amusing that folks like the20year think that owning some raw land is a defense against such cataclysms
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: its okay, i have faith the usg will mismanage itself into oblivion long before the dollar fails from due course << this is like hoping the heart will cease functioning long before the liver gives in. in reality, they're so interconnected their demise is a cvasi-simultaneous event willy-nilly.
mircea_popescu: jesus i missed all the fun
mircea_popescu: i'd simply buy it all.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: i for one would buy thousands of btc if it went to 0.3, and im sure many in this channel would too. it'd hasten the demise of some common enemies << thousands, srsly ?

mats_cd03: its okay, i have faith the usg will mismanage itself into oblivion long before the dollar fails from due course
mats_cd03: 22:12:52 <+asciilifeform> buy while its cheap << go try and buy. << not a problem for anyone thats not american, i suppose.
kakobrekla: i mean
mats_cd03: i for one would buy thousands of btc if it went to 0.3, and im sure many in this channel would too. it'd hasten the demise of some common enemies
mats_cd03: at this juncture i think 30 BTCUSD is not infeasible
mats_cd03: i mean, btc will win regardless, but... if buttstamp and co were able to dump btc with so few coins
asciilifeform: every fucking thing is dead << i started out in perhaps 4 different ones, stayed here because alive.
mircea_popescu: so i joined all other bitcoin channels. (from http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode&chat=bitcoin )
