mircea_popescu: well, i would imagine if they actually aim to be female they'd miss having a cunt more than having a dick.
mircea_popescu: well, i guess maybe you're better connected in the group than me. i mostly know clinicians.
mircea_popescu: well, berkshire is kind-of famous for this reason. you never heard of it ?
mircea_popescu: he can never ruin an uppetite. for even if he ruins one, he has another coming right after!
mircea_popescu: these people and their narcissistic delusions of self importance.
mircea_popescu: * Adlai wonders what such a person's shrink would think if first hearing about bitcoin from such a patient << srsly.
mircea_popescu: how did you get this idea, that if you don't follow something it's incumbent on me/the school/the world to fix it for you ?
mircea_popescu: the notion that you may participate without understanding is like... well, what all comedy gold is made out of, i guess.
mircea_popescu: i do not correct you, you're not tim fucking swanson. you correct you.
mircea_popescu: if you're doing this by accident, you'll stfu and go read. if you're doing it deliberately... well... you'll keep at it and we'll have our lulz and move on.
mircea_popescu: benjamindees you're completely and utterly misrepresenting the discussion.
mircea_popescu: so your avenue to pay for your starbucks is a) give them some of your money ; b) borrow some money to give them or c) buy another soda ?
mircea_popescu: all screws are better than thumbtacks for the man holding a hammer.
mircea_popescu: good article, that, incidentally, in that it plainly discusses in 2013 things people imagine are "about the future" in 2015.
mircea_popescu: which is fine, they can struggle for as long as they can gather the energy.
mircea_popescu: Yet another one of them is that consumers revolt, entrepreneurs intervene, before the end of 2015 there's about a thousand to a million different Bitcoin forks, each with its ten million-ish monetary base worth about a dollar, on global average. The size of the inter-Bitcoins market, the complexity and confusion ensuing makes pretty much everything unmanageable for the "ordinary person".
mircea_popescu: well technically this was more in the vein of horrible maiming and dismemberment threats.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell ruin_dpbs_life Guilford, Connecticut << it's probably a decent idea to not go throwing around threats off your home ip.
mircea_popescu: maybe better take it as "this man won't give me for free stuff that people might get if they pay upwards of six figures in fees. my feeble attempts to defeat his defences through 9yo discoursive tactics are probably going to fare about as well as 9yos generally fare against multi million dollar concerns."
mircea_popescu: think "occupywallstreet" or "feminism" or w/e. "the luxor center for businessmen". these collections don't actually do anything, it's not unlike a coral discussing which way to undulate for saving the whales.
mircea_popescu: more like, "saving the environment" is just as silly as any one thing a bunch of useless, stupid and ignorant entities that only exist because nobody ground uncle sam into the ground yet could ever do.
mircea_popescu: he doesn't mean the people = "the people". he means the people = your friends.
mircea_popescu: the planet is fine. "the people" are fine. you are stupid, and your friends ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: "the planet is fine, the people are fucked" is what people say when they can't digest the obvious "if you could understand more, you could understand more"
mircea_popescu: just, 'no particular inclination to gaze upon chtulhu'
mircea_popescu: (ie, "can't carry meaning". just like the foregoing it's also logically necessary, no debate possible. it flows from what you're saying, which is essentially "humans are noise". sure. but noise doesn't really matter. like brownian motion.)
mircea_popescu: if this is how you redefine your humans, i will change "don't exist" to "don't matter".
mircea_popescu: just like whatever in your definition of "human" differs from human biology is not objective but metaphysical.
mircea_popescu: it's simple : inasmuch as your definition of "human" difers from "econ", it doesn't exist.
mircea_popescu: a whiteknight is not a person. it's a manifestation of particular pathologies empowered by particular economic imbalances.
mircea_popescu: which will crumble in contact with the other is kinda obvious.
mircea_popescu: whereas bitcoin enforces this through the nature of money.
mircea_popescu: the difference is that they enforce this through statal redistribution, which lives out of a hole in public choice theory,
mircea_popescu: rational incentives don't enter into it. as far as derpy social studies types are concerned, all effort available should go into that.
mircea_popescu: is there a rational incentive to continue adding man-hours to women's studies ?
mircea_popescu: as far as bitcoin is concerned, there's no point to energy other than mining.
mircea_popescu: unrelated datapoints. half energy available \being used to mine bitcoin makes bitcoin safe for humans (safe in the sense of, won't be overrun by the altcoin problem)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suppose the next step is, "participate in derpland has talent with your tv set!" and hopefully that'll relieve us of most of the current imbeciles online.
mircea_popescu: "energy efficiency" is not a bitcoin consideration. all energy used for non-bitcoin stuff is wasted by definition, in the bitcoin paradigm.
mircea_popescu: there's no way to express bitcoin in fiat terms. it's not "a clock", because the meaning of "a clock" does not carry in bitcoin. yes it divides time, but differently in fundamental ways.
