mircea_popescu: doesn't even have to be "trololol". things are what they are, the congregation of the weirdos are more than welcome to react however they can think of.
mircea_popescu: have them hook up an irc session to a projector, we can chat during.
mircea_popescu: so go, talk, why not. don't put up with any substantial shit, nor with more coincidental shit than you feel like. if they don't like it, they can shove it.
mircea_popescu: and that's pretty much how the upswing cycle begun every other time.
mircea_popescu: as i say -- the young hussies already are looking for slavery and abjection, in contrast to their stupid mulas and stramulas. from rotherham to anytown, usa, the 15 yo is saying "please, beat, rape and light me on fire -- anything whatsoever but having to talk with my kinmorons."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they got time. so do i. it'll make more, eventually.
mircea_popescu: china -- had gunpowder. white devil -- fired it into forbidden palace. china -- had helicopter. white devil -- flew it. china -- had alchemy, on paper. etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for actually doing things worth the mention. that's all.
mircea_popescu: yes, it's true, europe is in a rut, beyond ridiculous. this is what europe fucking does, and has been doing, it cycles. yes there's oodlebunches of useless old women about, but already the young cunts are very much oriented upwards.
mircea_popescu: let them credit the fed general acct with as cheap items as can be had in counterparty for it, so the fed extends "college debt" to the above morons, so they have kids and move europe outta the present lulz.
mircea_popescu: well ? the FACT of the matter is that reproduction is -ev. always was, too. so little yellow men wish to participate in the affairs of humanity by essentially taking on the role of the human female ? this is a crime now ? should be hated for attempt to participate as best can ?
mircea_popescu: and YET not elicit immune response. this is a small thing to buy ?
mircea_popescu: what's usg if not this "singular effect, choose your paper wrapper"
mircea_popescu: a sort of "if you don't like lobotomy with knife -- can have lobotomy with anal dildo. same effect, diff flavour".
mircea_popescu: whole point of their exercise is "you can be a slave to stupid empire EVEN WITHOUT traditional trappings".
mircea_popescu: in the immortal words of mr oover, "i say they is not white man."
mircea_popescu: and, amusingly enough, they're ~still~ all into "multiculti" bs and still not "oh, here's the keys tmsr, lead us out of the shit".
mircea_popescu: well, i can say : the town is london, so i can understand why he'd rather sit in airport.
mircea_popescu: but 30 is a diff game altogether. sleepover sorta gap.
mircea_popescu: i used to connect through frankfurt with a 6ish hour gap for lunch and merriment, back in the days.
mircea_popescu: "actually, let me correct that : we're going back for sure. precisely how far back is still under trial."
mircea_popescu: "dear belovedly departed passengers, this is your captain speaking. we seem to have taken off without some parts that are kinda needed, so we'll be going back. hopefully."
mircea_popescu: good thing he placed a 30 hour gap there lmao. "what are you going to do in heathrow for that long !? " "fly back and forth repairing planes."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i never heard of this lol. maybe they only got as close as halfway-1.
mircea_popescu: this sounds so fucking suspicious lmao. did they leave without all the mocky surveillance ? :D
mircea_popescu: that might be the record jump. where'd you two meet ?!
mircea_popescu: which drives the fundamental difference between zek and republican : some people are satisfied before satisfaction is on the table ; some only after. that's all.
mircea_popescu: and the "i have nfi what excel is doing" observation does not reduce to "i have not fully read and thoroughly understood" ; but instead it reduces to "i have read and fully understood -- and i fill overquickly". ie, "i am dumb, easily satisfied and easily amused".
mircea_popescu: because no, the "i know ~exactly~ what the computer is doing" declaration is not optional. exactly like socrates' observation, "the man claiming no political system has political system", exactly so, whatever the claim, to run code on machine equals the declaration of having fully read and thoroughly understood. there's no wiggle room.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: what exactly is to be deemed the difference between bunch of retards gathering together to worship gappy nonsense in some cave and bunch of retards gethering together to pretend like they know wtf the computer is doing, in some concrete re-enactment of a cave ?
mircea_popescu: notice ~why~ it is random derp uses [ie, acts as if has loaded in head] pile of gnarl like say excel, or "telegram" or "kubinetes" or w/e : FOR LOVE OF BROTHER. "we all do it". but it sucks ? "yes well."
mircea_popescu: i can't detect ambitiously indolent stupidity has changed in any way since the days we fed them to the lions.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform everything's explicit to the sufficiently trained eye. as they are unexplicit through confusion to moron today -- so they were 2k years ago. as directly visible to me then, so visible now.
mircea_popescu: (which is ~literally~ what fucking happened, "i was made by people too stupiud to make sense, BELIEVE in me" is the cry the guerre of the stupidgod.)
mircea_popescu: unremarkably enough, the pantsuit religion is then "the religion of love". cuz god "so loved his children", he gave them windows and asked them to use it.
mircea_popescu: no sense, but people themselves before abstract concepts!!" aka "if you really loved me you'd buy this house/ring/kid/whatever yo ucan't afford" etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeh, just taking opportunity to overexplicitly state for teh logs.
mircea_popescu: and so "stuffed windows userland item into head" === large pile of assumption, wsod, jumps over gaps like ballerina. but it's still loaded, if poorly, unreliably, etc. it's loaded.
mircea_popescu: this is what breaks the imperial brain, too : we stick to our trees being continuous, like blockchain. to zek -- luxury, can not be afforded.
mircea_popescu: all code that ever runs anywhere is getting loaded in head. there's no way out of this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform whether you manage [to a standard of your satisfaction, or of my satisfaction, or however define] or don't manage has no bearing. it's still getting done.
mircea_popescu: and i have done a moderately shitty job of having loaded in head the entire linux backports project.
mircea_popescu: you have currently [done a very poor job] of having loaded in head all binary turds used by all proprietary crap you use.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, there's no such thing as the option of whether to load or to not load. if it runs -- you're loading.
mircea_popescu: the difference between the bank clerk who "knows how to run excel" and alf, who can produce cp101a, is not, as you think, "has loaded in head ?". because bank girl has, after a fashion, to inept standards, somewhat loaded windows in head. that your loading is better than her loading is true, and that items move from worse to better in hands of republic and from better to worse in hands of empire is also true.
mircea_popescu: this thing you call "digging through"... is in fact...
mircea_popescu: because the "not loaded in head" thing is illusory. someone somewhere will.
mircea_popescu: there's no escape from the "any live code -- loaded in head" rule, and this is why you even get the "code -- small" tool.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because idiots hallucinated the option of "not loading in head", the code in question now works as a sort of digital frontier : whoever loads more faster wins. hence "hackers".
mircea_popescu: that's the only distinction reality permits : between code that is run, and code that is not run. whether the task of stuffing it in head "is feasible" according to the head in question or any other heads is entirely irrelevant.
mircea_popescu: any quantity of code, no matter how large, no matter how gnarly, no matter how repugnant, and NO MATTER ANYTHING ELSE WHATSOEVER -- a) will be loaded in at least one human head, which will probably be yours, if it ever, at all, gets executed by a computer somewhere ; and b) will NOT be loaded in any heads, including yours, if AND ONLY IF it is NEVER, EVER, executed on any box anywhere.
mircea_popescu: as long as it's executed, anywhere, ever at all -- you're fucking loading.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and the only way for that to not have to happen is for someone to chisel down the 5mb. because your hallucinated "option" as to whether you load or not load has 0 bearing -- the only question is whether the 5mb run or don't run.
mircea_popescu: pretty much all the empire shit works by this "only way to get an x is to link an x' to an y' to the x" device. by now it's actually usable as an empire-detecting heuristic.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo he's with the boy scouts, wants to be prepared.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-06#1858956 << this view, sweet as all delusions ever are, nevertheless is not tenable. live code is live code, and that's the only categorical distinction. whether you'd like to eat the spitoon or not is a signal reality's not pulled out pins to capture.
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: we routinely do this to eg latins. applies just as well eveywhere.
mircea_popescu: from the anthropology/hoc pov, this is possibly the best example to point to when defending "civilisation had ended prior to 1990" thesis.
mircea_popescu: but, by the time lappies started, thinking was long out of us process.
mircea_popescu: the very feminine attitude, too, "here's my cunt, come find me". what the fuck ?! nobody's going anywhere looking for dorky boys.
mircea_popescu: dude not a single one of those schmucks looks like they could stand their ground.
