mircea_popescu: ah there we go, it's right, i forgot it indexes after a delay.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski anyway, it's actually been in the logs.
mircea_popescu: a while back they could also improve it by handing out at elbow of papa while papa worked

mircea_popescu: they are busy with much more suited tasks : picking a group and figuring the hierarchy.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski the proposition that kids should (or want to) "improve the world" is untenable.

mircea_popescu: there's something to be said for a society so dumb, even the scams have to be dumbed down lower and lower each generation.
mircea_popescu: nlp is like, "the law of attaction", before it was dumbed down for daytime tv.
mircea_popescu: actually it wouldn't surpriose me to find that's the process through which it was invented. all like nlp and shit, yarvin sat down and figured hey, this is going to positively attract the esl retards.

mircea_popescu: the entire thing having no further substance past repackaging, obviously the coca cola company is the coca cola thing, and yarvin is the "nrx" thing.
mircea_popescu: ok. this much given, it can never be denied that the repackager of any one is, for all purposes, the 'leader'.
mircea_popescu: so i'm not too inclined to see any of these lables as anything more than "ignorant kids from the us web". be it "nrx" or "neoreaction" or etc.
mircea_popescu: ute them as important, contrary to the tenets of the us religion of marketing.
mircea_popescu: so let's leave aside the "therefore" bitcoin this and that, as i dun have the energy. instead, re "nrx" : i have little doubt that there are some kids in the us that thought the one repackaging of stuff they ran across is somehow more significant than all the repackagings they don't know, and definitely more significant than the originals. and that they need a name and so on. this exercise in nominalism does not instit
mircea_popescu: can youstick to one nonsequitur per paragraph, instead of one per sentence.
mircea_popescu: however once that's automatic everything changes. which is why the wot can not be automated.
mircea_popescu: the difference from the wot is actually quite instructive. in the wot, one is at the liberty to consider history, but in no sense required to do so. in your model, one automatically is held to consider history. it's true that they both to some degree rely on the continuation fallacy,
mircea_popescu: it's a post hoc determination, and for this reason can not be used in any phenomena discussion.
mircea_popescu: you're committing the shaman mistake. that is to say, the mistake to believe categories in your mind have objective substance.
mircea_popescu: and the local power rangers are trying to prop both by fiat.
mircea_popescu: in ppcoin they exist because the protocol is very weak, even weaker than the code,

mircea_popescu: fluffypony srsly, got a link to the whitepaper's github ? guy's tree's gnarly.
mircea_popescu: the_scourge from experience, not even human translation by billingual hands do my prose justice.
mircea_popescu: it is more a function of people being removed from the means of production than anything. no living thing will ever accept its pointlessness. as such, cargo cults and mud pies everywhere.
mircea_popescu: in any case it indicates it's a fallacy older than feudalism.
mircea_popescu: after which, come back, do something useful with your time, that'll actually be worth money.

mircea_popescu: fluffypony got a link to the actual github in question ?
mircea_popescu: the_scourge i would imagine so, and if not i'll soon find out.
mircea_popescu: or w/e chance at that you might have built over the 1.5 years in question.

mircea_popescu: if you look, throughout 2011/12 some mentally deficient dank clone spent his time producing prose (not so different from the gavincoin crapolade) professionally explaining how bitcoin is obsolete
mircea_popescu: and for other people to be all like "I MAKE MONEY WHILE YOIU SLEEP!!11"
mircea_popescu: if this liquidity is natural i'll eat my hat. for one thing, the people interested in alts are interested in alts specifically because they're bitcoin poor. to propose to me that they are 100x more likely to trade btc than usd seems beyond counterintuitive.
mircea_popescu: "24hr Volume: 646.141 BTC / 195.554 XMR / 2838.69 XUSD" nuts.
