mircea_popescu: thatr's exactly what it is. the whole thing that made usg work makes us work. it'll make us great long after it buried it.
mircea_popescu: essentially the position of the Catholic church, hoping that it may teach people to read and write in such a way that they'll actually continue to take the "Holy Scripture" seriously. Why would they ? They won't, they don't, it's just not how that works.
mircea_popescu: This would also be why I don't think so very much of the libertards, and why I find myself so often in contradiction with people who view them as either powerful or in any sense a threat (usually both) : they aren't, either, nor could they really be, either, because the only tool they know actually works for them only a short distance of its run, and for us the entire length of that same run. The libertard's gambit is
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (note that i didn't even bother with using the fact that 99.9% of uranium is not more fissile than lead, nor the fact that you will never actually manage to bust up ALL the atoms)
mircea_popescu: consider the following math : uranium reserves, about 6*10^9 kgs. about 0.1% of this is usable for the purpose. uranium molar mass is ~250 [grams/mol] which means ~ 6*10^9 * 1000/250 * 6*10^23 atoms in total. meanwhile energy output is ~200 MeV per event. your total ideal available energy is thus ~1.44 * 10^32 eV. meanwhile land surface is ~1.50 * 10 ^ 14 sqm. So you get a total of ~10*17 eV per square meter, or a litt
mircea_popescu: contrary to what is generally propagandized, there isn't a way to use them effectually on the field. the only effectual use for them is in mass media.
mircea_popescu: then lay them out, and power/internet one side of the wall.
mircea_popescu: just make a power and internet hook=up so that each tile can in principle power/be powered by and connect/be connected by each of its 4 neighbours.
mircea_popescu: you cant just print scrip because you got a scrip printer. that's not how it works.
mircea_popescu: be it conquer the south or the moon, but a mission, see. something interesting to do.
mircea_popescu: just like the us was a thing back when that guy they shot had a mission
mircea_popescu: just like you can be the life of the party and command everyone's attention for as long as you're being riveting ; just as long as you can tell women to suck your cock for just as long as it's a juicy cock to suck.
mircea_popescu: was kinda wanting to see if anyone wants to go through those, get an independent evaluation in.
mircea_popescu: trinque > jurov: ^ that about covers it << seriously, reddit, who cares.
mircea_popescu: this shit costs 6 * 3161167 + 40 * 45110 + 45 * 1165 + 4 * 8824 + 1 * 8824 + 10 *1484 + 1 * 23877 = 20906664 satoshi to build.
mircea_popescu: i need 1, it's in the recipe for the wooly mushroom mine.
mircea_popescu: and there WILL be a juicy event to reward the patience and help people set up themselves. so.
mircea_popescu: by now it's mostly "shit, another bug. no, wait a minute, this is the right thing."
mircea_popescu: srsly ben, final tests of finality, we're still finding some bugs but its pretty sparse.
mircea_popescu: this game i'm the only one that can play is FUCKING GREAT
mircea_popescu: needs like... 6 escherian trestleworks among other things to build the fucking mine.
mircea_popescu: in other news, i just laid a claim on a SIZABLE deposit of wooly mushroom in eulora.
mircea_popescu: the original unix " small program for small job" is exactly an attempt to turn the foregoing into an engineering rule of thumb
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not that guaranteed. depends where and how the addition happens.
mircea_popescu: trinque more like, because the derps are by now persuaded that they do.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i told you people have nfi how it works :D
mircea_popescu: which is unsurprising. for all the dire straights ee, or law, or anything else finds itself in, management is the worst.
mircea_popescu: it was misperceived by their enemies as "actual", which is how their tactics worked.
mircea_popescu: understand : the "physical concentration" of mongols was EXACTL:Y like what we do here.
mircea_popescu: nukes are, in this discussion, theatrical props. we need them like i need a prince albert.
mircea_popescu: any merely functional live thing will get its own food and shelter. it's the basis of life.
mircea_popescu: the only thing of any import in there was the cocaine.
mircea_popescu: that system works for derp force the 4th. who is, in all terms, worthless.
mircea_popescu: cunts make kids not vegetables, and things don't scale like this.
mircea_popescu: "my wife couldn't even give birth to an eggplant, what hope is there she could make me an heir"
mircea_popescu: moreover, this is entirely not related. things don't scale like this.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, she was saved from ending up in the street by someone here iirc.
mircea_popescu: this is not actually true. we could, she didn't want to.
mircea_popescu: "looky, just because we're temporarily tolerating the kulaks means nothing. this is like saying the soviets had no factories to its name, 1915."
mircea_popescu: and moreover, once la serenissima expands - A LITTLE (in comparative tersm) - what's to say it won't be able to afford this ?
mircea_popescu: does it mean they could ? no, it does not. the proposition is of the kind of "apple shares could buy all of russia". no, they COULD NOT.
mircea_popescu: does this then mean that the us generates 10 more fabs each month ? no.
mircea_popescu: so, what's a fab cost ? like 10bn or so, say ? less, but anyway. what's the current print rate ? 10x that A MONTH or so ? at least as far as documented (most monetary expansion happens in the dark anyway, it was recently rechristened as "big bank fraud" temporarily, but it is not nor ever was that - most monetary expansion is regulated by the banks)
mircea_popescu: i cope with it solipsistically, which is to say, "until it gets in my way it doesn't exist. once it does, ima burn it"
mircea_popescu: it's very funny this, they would rather want "sovereignity on windows" than "independence from windows".
mircea_popescu: the pretend-sovereigns are really not that good. that's all.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-05-2015#1127054 << no they don't. nobody, including the chinese, including putin, has any fucking idea what this even is, because they lack both the intellectual sophistication to comprehend what matters in the world and go seek the signs, and the power to actually have good advisors that do.
