mircea_popescu: and
the fact
that
they notice
they're losing it does not help
them.
phf: this exterminating angel looks neat, i'll put it in
the backlog
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that is not a deformity,
that is a learned behaviour. girl is supposed
to be able
to
take
that pose or else needs
to work out more.
mircea_popescu: as it happens i was just watching it,
talk of coincidences.
phf: movie is sort of an absurdist
take on cargo cultism. in
this case
the quotes are instructions on social ritual on a backwards planet,
that are obviously meaningless. a su viewer would see parallels
to own life
Ingolfr_Arnarson: danielpbarron: I could answer
to
that saying
that I only need judgment from people I interact directly , BUT maybe I am wrong so I will ponder about
that statement.
☟︎ danielpbarron: Ingolfr_Arnarson, a blog is not only for you
to judge
the world, but for
the world
to judge you
trinque: if non-personhood drowns out personhood,
then what?
trinque: surely killing a person might be a waste, but one would have
to bother
to define person before using
the
term
Ingolfr_Arnarson: And don't forget realizing one can
try
to sort out
things without *having*
to kill each other.
trinque: first comes
the "fuck you I won't do whatcha
tell me,"
then later one considers
that in a competitive arena,
things
tend
to sort.
Ingolfr_Arnarson: I heard
there is a republic running in here. Also bitcoin could work as one if it doesn't fail in an unexpected way.
trinque tends
to
think
the ancap
thing is a developmental stage.
Ingolfr_Arnarson: No but a lot of people have and are saying
things better
than I could.
danielpbarron: you have a blog already?
then no, a second blog is not needed
Ingolfr_Arnarson: asciilifeform: I do not have a www created. Just owning www.ancapia.com,
trying
to design
the best plan
to make it a guide for people into voluntaryism or
to
turn it into an actual virtual nation conforming instructions. If possible. If I decide it is not,
then I'll drop it and dedicate onto other projects I have.
mircea_popescu: trinque
there's really nothing wrong with people being able
to noob-up
themselves.
trinque: actually I'll probably go ahead and sand off
that rough edge; it's confusing.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-15 19:10 Framedragger: another film recommendation by association - documentary: "whore's glory" - by one glawogger (who died from malaria or somesuch while filming in liberia or somewheresuch), a bunch of interviews with whores in bangladesh,
thailand etc
phf: Framedragger:
that movie about whores is nice. it's only spoiled by an occasional "poignant" bjork style soundtrack. i couldn't figure out if it's
trying
to cue you when you're supposed
to feel sad, or if
the director just likes
that kind of music..
mircea_popescu: watch
that
the dude
turns out
to be perfectly sane AND from argentina, ruining my whole stereotype.
Ingolfr_Arnarson: I am a normal guy with a normal work, who for some strange life chances ended up into libertarianism (politics until
turning full ancap) and around
the bitcoin community here.
There is where I knew someone who let me know about Mircea's posts and about
this channel. I am into coding, into maths, physics and of course crypto. And
trying
to organize a better society without state. I
think
that's all
that may be relevant
to say now. Any questions?
mircea_popescu: i was
thinking "hey,
this is a recurring vulpes
thing"
trinque: I could go all UX designer over here but seems
the opposite of urgent.
Ingolfr_Arnarson: Mircea asked me
to introduce myself before, I'll
type about myself a bit now and
then press enter.
ben_vulpes: Ingolfr_Arnarson: you'll hafta pm deedbot if you haven't figured
that out yet
ben_vulpes: Ingolfr_Arnarson: indulge me for a second, i'm going
to down you and
then would you up yourself?
Ingolfr_Arnarson: agustin againhere, messed up not remembering
the gpg passphrase just created. And changed my nickname for
the name I go around usually.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-18 00:02 ben_vulpes: open project for #tmsr acolytes: scrape chainstate for
time delta between blocks for
the past few days, calculate average and first std dev.
mircea_popescu: iirc
those can be directly imported into statistix package of one's choice.
ben_vulpes: open project for #tmsr acolytes: scrape chainstate for
time delta between blocks for
the past few days, calculate average and first std dev.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: agustin: well now you'll *need*
to !!up yourself
ben_vulpes: i will
take delivery of
the lols,
tyvm
ben_vulpes: "we blamed
the operators. we blamed
the cpe vendors. we blamed
the router vendors. and now we blame
the users. it's always someone else's fault."
mircea_popescu: solving "scalability" problems
that only exist in
their nutty heads.
jurov: i recommend clicking next by
thread, it only gets lulzier
agustin: The key does not expire I created it
that way.
mircea_popescu: jurov "Mr." is rapidly becoming
the superlative of
that whole string with "embattled" and "controversial"
ben_vulpes: but before you do, please ensure
they key does not expire.
jurov: “Mr. Snowden fled into
the arms of an adversary and has sought refuge in a country
that most recently made a concerted effort
to undermine confidence in our democracy.”
ben_vulpes: "b-b-b-but i didn't siiiign
that
tweet!"
mats: i'm not headed
there, just curious if he's going
to fly into us for
trial and anal soldering
mircea_popescu: "we said
the exact
thing
that someone was going
to have said anyway in
those circumstances and
this should be recorded with a name associated." dude... why
the everloving fuck already.
mircea_popescu: fucking quisman.
there's always a bunch of
these, and
then
they pretend
to history.
mats: anyway,
this is a bit circle-jerk-y, so ill stop
ben_vulpes: anyways, mats, pretty sure
that us lost 90% of our generation with
the "don't let
the
terrorists win! keep buying shit! and supporting Our Great Corporations!" at
the
tail end of 2001.
mircea_popescu: i actually became a patriot with
the invention of
tmsr, whodda
thunk it. i never
thought i would care enough.
mircea_popescu: love dun so much enter,
the notion is fundamentally self-abortive ; and
there's no "for" as such.
mats: i
thought i was a patriot for a stretch.
mircea_popescu: technically : a patriot is a person who is willing
to die in order
to keep people who don't belong in his country out of his country.
mircea_popescu: most everything down
there is cheap plastic copy of yurpean item huh
mats: ben_vulpes: a person
that loves
their country!
mircea_popescu: kresty group loyalty is not patriotism as
the prison is not a nation even if you include its culture.
ben_vulpes: mats: forgive me, but what's a "patriot" in
this context?
mircea_popescu: and so
there isn't such a
thing as a patriot in
that place since about
the civil war, give or
take.
mircea_popescu: the us had a "nationalization moment", when it attempted
to become a nation (much like serbia did recently ; and got bombed for it by
the same people).
ben_vulpes: cut
taxes, increase social benefits. raise
the debt ceiling, it's not like it actually matters, what
the government doesn't balance its checkbook like a household omg
mats: a yes,
the welfare recipient is a
tru patriot
mircea_popescu: seems pretty much
the only reasonable play. usg is beyond fixing, so steal as much as possible.
