mircea_popescu: i ended up in http://bash.bitcoin-assets.com/?page=3&order=dateup and im chortling to myself lmao.

mircea_popescu: i has nfi.

mircea_popescu: punkman: sounds like some honest hard work over there << i wonder how much btc they get paid.

mircea_popescu: looks 48 to me, but what do i know.

mircea_popescu: i would imagine somewhere 30ish is the cutoff.

mircea_popescu: is this the first time i got called a religious leader btw ?

mircea_popescu: somehow i'd much rather spend my time reading that than listen to songs someone wrote based on poems they wrote (the world needs more singers-songwriters and fewer doctors and engineers!)

mircea_popescu: anyone bored enough to extract the footnote in question from chapter 17, lemmeknow. i got a log to read.

mircea_popescu: i doubt thinking of those people in collective terms is very sensible, but anyway.

mircea_popescu: what i am saying is that you can never have something meanginful to say about a culture from outside of it.

mircea_popescu: i am not actually saying that.

mircea_popescu: i thought it was pretty clever.

mircea_popescu: well, i suppose the way to reference it in your system would be "the wot games".

mircea_popescu: now, whether this session helped or didn't is unclear, but at least i tried.

mircea_popescu: and i left it because it was apparent to me that you don't, on your own, possess the intellectual means to comprehend the problem.

mircea_popescu: i left a comment on an article that pingbacked my article,

mircea_popescu: this is pretty much the gist of the problem. get interested in bitcoin or get used to not being taken seriously, i guess.

mircea_popescu: right. so if you're not interested in bitcoin, why should i care what you wrote down somewhere ?

mircea_popescu: this is readily reducible to the problem of "i have a very high wot score". it's not the number. it's the identity.

mircea_popescu: i don't think you understand how this works. things need a source to exist.

mircea_popescu: if the book had no author i definitely wouildn't read it.

mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol arguably i make a living blogging these days, so who's to know anymore.

mircea_popescu: okay, i'll have to fix that article, no scholar environmental or otherwise.

mircea_popescu: looky : i've been fran kto you. now, can i get a frank answer to what exactly it is you do, for a living ?

mircea_popescu: now, i may well have misunderstood you. so, what do you do ?

mircea_popescu: i have, which is how i got to this idea

mircea_popescu: i scored you. the difference here is that in order to attack you we'd have to share something. we do not.

mircea_popescu: i didn't attack you.

mircea_popescu: the problem here isbn't that i don't know you.,

mircea_popescu: i would know if it were or if it weren't. you, however, wouldn't.

mircea_popescu: now, if you want to talk about my think, and i say you're stupid, this can not be waved aside by you claiming it's an ad hominem.

mircea_popescu: you may generously represent yourself as equal to all people, myself included. this however is false : i am a major player in a major revolution. you are practically nobody, or if we're charitable a minor player in a lengthy tradition, if we are again charitable and consider the us derpage somehow related to european academia as a human thought adventure.

mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal guy has a tenuous grasp on facts. which, for an outsider, i guess is laudable.

mircea_popescu: can i have a 5 doge tip now ty.
