mircea_popescu: i have nfi how ; but out of the 200 or so otps one died en route.
mircea_popescu: yet another one of the very many disadvantages for the cattle outside the walls, is that our private lives are public matters for them, that they can't touch. whopsee.
mircea_popescu: me will link here an article he's publishing later, because "I really feel no need to be notified each time my dumb bimbo and some random loser exchange e-grams." is worthy quote.
mircea_popescu: you wouldn't operate on basis of wikipedia. what, you think lordship less serious than medicine ?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> Mocky: not if squelched to l1-raters only <
mircea_popescu: and seriously, this "i shall use wot without talking to people" tack is self defeating. the ONLY item wot tells you is whom to ask. nothing more. absolutely nothing more.
mircea_popescu: 2/day is still pretty good, you'll be caught up before you die. i expect it's actually the natural limit
mircea_popescu: same could be said of whatever tmsr reject. yet THEY DIDNT HAVE TO not have a brain
mircea_popescu: amusingly, 100% of requisites were on the table. just, blockhead "leadership" assembled pc into wooden block.
mircea_popescu: all graham's wank re "omg, what does it take to produce silicon valley" is entirely besides the point. what it takes to produce the town is the town-lie, and "take your pick of teenaged cunt, weekly auctions" is much better implementation of that than mission district's own "money for nothing".
mircea_popescu: set moron bit on new-soviet exactly as on previous set and moved on.
mircea_popescu: and the above, ftr, is not idle "woulda coulda". i actually did send both people and materiel, and even followed briefly in early 2000s, research expedition.
mircea_popescu: the mistake, as usually when people make large scale mistakes, was in incorrectly handling cunt.
mircea_popescu: not ~easy~ to compete with milan, but spring over idiots-speaking-idiot-language is not a pushover.
mircea_popescu: if russia went as described, i'd have likely moved there when i was looking around in early 2000s
mircea_popescu: coupled with a general feeling of "cheap life" (ie, all the ukr whores going to moscow instead of milan), it'd have attracted, eg, me.
mircea_popescu: and in a decade of figuring shit out, they may have found something. that's ~their~ fucking job.
mircea_popescu: the reason soviet industry imploded was lack of demand. construction drives all sectors, the building itself would have bought them ~decade to figure shit out.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform made wrong raft the wrong way. mine fucking floats. theirs floated so fucking well, putin's cut their heads off.
mircea_popescu: this is EXACTLY like, instead of using programmable machines to talk to every girl on fetlife and enslave some, i'd use them to "start-up". because "san francisco never said it wants a bunch of enslaved women with computers".
mircea_popescu: who the fuck asked shittington any fucking thing jesus christ.
mircea_popescu: just those 10 trn cubic meters of poured concrete would have created "russian miracle" by itself.
mircea_popescu: i'd say "they should have come to #trilema and asked", but i guess they get a break for pre-trilema age.
mircea_popescu: fuck them with a sharp stick for being condolezza rice without even being niggers.
mircea_popescu: eh gimme a break. everyone fucking knew except for the "factors responsible"
mircea_popescu: they TOTALLY should have laid track, brought in the cranes, prefab to the skies.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh, that was rank nonsense. VERY fucking stupid choice. 1990 ru was a) perfectly equipped to produce 10-100mn smq of hruscheba living space per month. b) 1990s ru was EXACTLY in the position where the best use for its effort was to do just that. buy the losers 30 years in which to decide if they really wanted petrograd residence.
mircea_popescu: lmao. so great that the fucktard pantsuit fought apartheid. 10 years later, they can fight the first white massacre since haiti.
mircea_popescu: hey, third world shithole is third world shithole, what.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform notrly. lotta people had btc for accident, in the 2010s.
mircea_popescu: except when subs don't work by themselves, of course. that's unfair comparison.
mircea_popescu: prolly 3x like brits, because gotta show they to real country.
mircea_popescu: did that fucktared 5 columnist in the hat sink or is he still derping about ?
mircea_popescu: it'd also be ungodly long. pubescent girls are usually too derpy to manage in under a coupla minutes.
mircea_popescu: was that ever anything besides "not ideal", or just... you know... god forbid some feelings get hurt, let's look some other way etc.
mircea_popescu: but yes, getting movement through courts is a WHOLE lot more skilled work than getting a whatever the fuck nothing he didn't do, i don't even remember, social media something or the other.
mircea_popescu: well not according to a captioned image i found on instagram!
mircea_popescu: inescapably reminds me of mimi' going "spara, brigadiere!", because srsly now.
mircea_popescu: in any case, any fix to the "why is republic so weak commercially ??" question will contain ample doses of beating the "i did enough work -- as compared to line average" approach out of the hopefuls.
mircea_popescu: which is how we've ended up with the ridiculous situation we find ourselves in, a sort of "left arm three times thicker than right -- jacks off with left"
mircea_popescu: anyway, part of the problem is that on one hand
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-19#1836436 and on the other hand the sort of people who even go to business school so to speak, choose that through a very "less work than tech" heuristic. which means they find it EXCEEDINGLY difficult to not play-to-the-thrown-curve, so to speak.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: right, because unfucking a fucked head's literally the last priority.
mircea_popescu: but in any case, this "omg guise why are you not more impressed with my potential" is 2013 fare, and indulgently.
mircea_popescu: it ~can~ be done, especially if one sets his mind to it.
mircea_popescu: and that potentially stretched like melting cheese, over years.
mircea_popescu: don't you find, in some sort of inner fold, that the situation where you're the baron titsbare and this other dood's getting the tits bare requires some sort of introspection ? at all ? nada ?
mircea_popescu: i for one'd have been infinitely more impressed with ~some sort!!!~ of mark of reflection in the vein of "holy shit, i've been doing it for months, produced ~0.0% of what this douchebag character the wind just blew in one day produced". because that's that's ever impressive, clear signs that the intelect's alive, not dead in the box.
mircea_popescu: shinohai your presence is not ~impressive~, which seems to be the principal problem you're having. no, it's not, and this has nothing to do with anyone else but you.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside practical points such as "there's not yet been a case in suedocket that took less than the longest the forum ever took to resolve a matter, and by a factor at that", not to mention this is yet the only court that doesn't charge filing fees, and other minutia.
mircea_popescu: so then if that's your preferred mechanism, the obvious question would be, what are you doing here ?
mircea_popescu: something is broken in this reasoning ; or rather should i say something broken keeps right on producing paralogisms come hell or, apparently, high water. now, what exactly is it ?
mircea_popescu: n-is-going-to-catch-a-lot-of-shit-for-that-on-assorted-othe/ ?
mircea_popescu: but at least the "investor" "herpderpwearebtc" crowd is now on assbook.
mircea_popescu: eulora for a long time had a "no craft table inside craft table" rule heh.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sounds about right. keeps normies away from getting in trouble, 1950s childproofing.
