benkay: not moving to argentina, i gather.
mircea_popescu: i was going to go "oh, the blessings of romanian living, i just drained a bottle of tuica out of my barrel in the cellar now i have nicely cold tuica", but i guess i should pass.

francis_wolke: I'm not following.
francis_wolke: mircea_popescu: I read the logs. My wifi died.
mircea_popescu: Dolchstoßlegende is the notion, widely believed in right-wing circles in Germany after 1918, that the German Army did not lose World War I but was instead betrayed by the civilians on the home front, especially the republicans who overthrew the monarchy. Advocates denounced the German government leaders who signed the Armistice on November 11, 1918, as the "November Criminals" (German: Novemberverbrecher).

benkay: mircea_popescu: i pointed this out already.
mircea_popescu: half the time when i select something a final char is omitted
francis_wolke: mircea_popescu: See my gist. However, I think that it's clear I need to read the Bitcoin sources and more history. The 'reasoning' in said gist may not correspond to reality.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i loved dame dench. "Be careful with my name, or you may wear it out!"
dexX7: mircea_popesu: yea, i guess it's not very accurate, but interesting to see an estimate
francis_wolke: asciilifeform: I don't believe anything. I'm asking here because you all know more than I.
asciilifeform: i'm perfectly willing to listen to evidence that 'was'. but 'must have been' is absurd.
francis_wolke: benkay: I have not.
francis_wolke: mircea_popescu: Ah - but that's what I'm getting at - I think it was.
francis_wolke: mircea_popescu: I don't know you well enough to say.
mircea_popescu: i got lucky, cause btc came around, but how many cycles do you think i can take ?
mircea_popescu: i first retired aged 24. i came back because i got bored out of my mind.
mircea_popescu: that aside, i do believe we'll probably be the first immortal generation,
mircea_popescu: i mean marginally, like i'm interested in whatever new chick takes her top off, but otherwise...
mircea_popescu: why do you think so ? i wouldn't personally be interested in such.
francis_wolke: asciilifeform: To clarify, I'd imagine that anyone with enough money / power would be interested in the possiblity of radical life extension (Peter Theil, MP, Satoshi) if / when the tech is there. As such, if I were smart enough to create btc, I'd certainly team up with the most powerful country, so that if the tech does get 'there', I'll be ready.
asciilifeform: if i recall it was the perl version
mircea_popescu: they never got far, i imagine cause they're so hard to make and unwieldy to weart
asciilifeform: 'i am a controlled munition.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: speaking of which, are PGP tattoos still in fashion, i wonder.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought we were strictly discussing secrets as "man in the street" affairs.
asciilifeform: do i understand correctly?
francis_wolke: mircea_popescu: I fail to see how this leads to a USG without Manhattan projects.
asciilifeform: francis_wolke: i doubt that i, personally, could prove this claim to your satisfaction.
mircea_popescu: o no, i'm eight million words ahead in this game.
francis_wolke: asciilifeform: Actually, I'd be interested in a reading list irrespective of that.
francis_wolke: asciilifeform: If you have a reading list to support this claim, I'd be happy to read it.
asciilifeform: i tend to agree with MP and others who conclude that we no longer live in a world where manhattan projects happen.
mircea_popescu: i do that to women occasionally. they generally love it.
Duffer1: i missed that one
mircea_popescu: listen, while i agree with the reverse (ie, indeed reality iwll have some bearing, no matter how tenuous, on your imagination), the reverse is completely baseless.
francis_wolke: Or say that I didn't actually know any of these people.
francis_wolke: Though I have no experience with these matters, I can 'imagine' that they make certain sorts of donations etc.
Duffer1: my experience is obviously subject (as was my initial statement) but i don't see anyone trying to reverse these trends
francis_wolke: MP: I have met some people in so-called 1%. I know what they're like, and what their parents are like. Many of them don't think - but some do. Some actually care that civilization will be around for their decedents to enjoy.
