mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is why there's no more child labour.
mircea_popescu: but no children can be either creative or intelligent. being childen is a full time job.
mircea_popescu: there do certainly exist kids who MIGHT , once they're adults, be creative or intelligent.
mircea_popescu: the teacher telling an insecure teen she's pretty to fuck her at least uses her naturally. the idiots telling this kid he's creative and intelligent and so on are abusing him and going against nature.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i find it quite morally dubioous and in any case aesthetically abhorrent, to see the structural mental issues of adolescents used in this manner.
mircea_popescu: Chillum think of this place as virginity club. we definitely encourage all the young'uns to keep theirs.
mircea_popescu: clearly, this person should be in charge of ^H^H^H used as a front for a thing intended to be marketed to the sort of idiots who like to hear this sort o fnonsense. you know, like randi zuckerberg going to davos.
mircea_popescu: and her relation to "technologee" was... well... of this nature.
mircea_popescu: dexter was a boy jenius, his sister dee dee was kind-of a 7 yo model of a valley girl
mircea_popescu: anyway, dexter's laboratory was this great show from the 2nd golden age of animation (animaniacs, etc)
mircea_popescu: holy shit the only google reference to that is a logs link.
mircea_popescu: well, as deedee aptly put it, "do with your magic science or something!"
mircea_popescu: nubbins` only because the people normally discussing it lack any experience of intelligence.
mircea_popescu: bad titjob in cheap dress, among a rural setting being transformed into high density "houses".
mircea_popescu: Chillum isn't that even on the face improbable ? if it doesn't work for one or the other it wouldn't work in general.
mircea_popescu: in any case : a hammer is not a good analogy for your item.
mircea_popescu: i'm just unsure of what problem you're attacking, but anyway.

mircea_popescu: fucking incredible how bad the "definitions" peddled by online sites are.
mircea_popescu: except this is just your perception of a fundamental law.
mircea_popescu: a lot of human history can be readily understood by sieving it through the universe-cosmos duality
mircea_popescu: pointedly opposed to the concept of cosmos (the lot of related parts)
mircea_popescu: nah, it's defined alright. "universe" = "the lot that obeys the same laws"
mircea_popescu: which is probably what the universe is in the first place : the big bang was... well... one such event, tiny in its proper scale.
mircea_popescu: through a process roughly similar to pair generation (which is how we even know black stars exist : spontaneously generated pairs which sum to zero but which are separated by the event horizon result in direct radiation of the black body), it is reasonable to expect even a thermically dead universe to display localised disturbances, permanently.
mircea_popescu: asimov's idea of thermic end is kinda bizarre. it doesn't go to 0, it goes to "soup"
mircea_popescu: whenever the great ovary tears off the packaging off a pre-prepared condom-equivalent.
mircea_popescu: " It took mankind a million years to fill one small world and then only fifteen thousand years to fill the rest of the Galaxy."
mircea_popescu: we're fighting the bad ideas of the 1100s by being too stupid to have them yet!
mircea_popescu: "i have an idea, let's separate church and state. the 'community' is made out of idiots who aren't actually intellectually prepared to have any sort of church yet anyway."
mircea_popescu:

mircea_popescu: yea, until your tile splits in the middle and the halves slam into each other.
mircea_popescu: i suspect this is not akin the myth that 1900s ocean liners had solved a problem since idem.
mircea_popescu: and i suspect not enough to move economy to your model.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason the first coin in the world was a bar of copper.
mircea_popescu: people who casually do not realise the importance of peak copper in limiting human history are invited to read up on ww2 economic history
mircea_popescu: whereas peak copper allows only this much capacity ever being deployed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform peak oil vs peak copper. except peak oil allows an infinity of capacity to be deployed as long as the sum consumption is under X
mircea_popescu: but then we're back to rockets, and sure, "tile of rockets", consider the mechanical problem that got brushed asiude above
