mircea_popescu: like bridget fonda in jackie brown
mircea_popescu: i think the actor's an idiot that can't either act or sing, but that's okay : for one thing, so is timberlake. for the other : that's exactly the part.
mircea_popescu: it's not sad, it's great. that's exactly it. nothing ever happens.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves o you saw it ?
mircea_popescu: it's gonna be the ng'pula from now on.
mircea_popescu: here's an idea, how about we have a poll in fucking uganda about what the us dollar should be called.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic lmao the collection of nobodies are going to rename the satoshi ?
mircea_popescu: it's quite accurate, very scalable, a pleasure.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves you should watch Inside Llewyn Davis btw
mircea_popescu: bits and ubits ?
mircea_popescu: (ie, the lowest form of wit)
mircea_popescu: well they got this fake "irony" which is mostly badly done sarcasm
mircea_popescu: bounce i just don't run js. does a lot.
mircea_popescu: tbh one of the things i like most about qntra is that there's no god damned "social media integration"
mircea_popescu: "i know, let's pay bob from Consultancy DerpAces LLC a million funbux so he can write an AI expert system that'll generate the text our readers would have put out! Save them the trouble!"
mircea_popescu: like, if you were google, right ? wouldn't you be fucking impressed to see the same text from 50 profiles all the damned time ?
mircea_popescu: bounce you realise what excellent seo this all is.
mircea_popescu: im sure it's all the win in social media.
mircea_popescu: what is it even supposed to be anyway ?
mircea_popescu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urBbHrJnSmE
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves apparently assbot had a little trouble coming back.
mircea_popescu: at least those aren't special chars in regex
mircea_popescu: is this some sort of new media, fuck up people's grepping ?
mircea_popescu: who puts a dot in the url.
mircea_popescu: yeah i guess for a spherical vacuum earthquake it may help.
mircea_popescu: but not what they actually are.
mircea_popescu: which is how good theories are started, of course
mircea_popescu: cause it doesn't properly account for the world, just for what the theorizer'd like.
mircea_popescu: but it's not really a theory, more like a daydreaming, see ?
mircea_popescu: it's mostly a function of its height and perimeter.
mircea_popescu: you can do the actual math involved, see the probability of your building ending up on the larger surface at the end of it all.
mircea_popescu: well ?
mircea_popescu: you're gonna hope it averages out, but in practical reality you will have constructed a magnetic building toppler.
mircea_popescu: it dun go.
mircea_popescu: what are you going to do with one bick cock when confronted with ten thousand tiny microscopic cunts ?
mircea_popescu: the movement of the underlying terrain, like it or not, is not uniform.
mircea_popescu: <Apocalyptic> its strength is linear in I << think about it. your field, want it or not, is a field. A field.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Oh, and Qntra finally joined the top half million websites << Male 195 Female 9 shit's funny.
mircea_popescu: <Apocalyptic> // of course it's not, and nobody is contesting that. It just can made to have that sort of behaviour << that depends.
mircea_popescu: depends where you're going with it.
mircea_popescu: something like that.
mircea_popescu: anyway. there's no ethical violation in the dead being dead, no matter how they got to be there, nor in the raped to be dripping cum, nor in any other thing that is. they're fine as they are ; being trumps fretting.
mircea_popescu: it automatically paints one as an intellectual failure of the english speaking school of idiocy.
mircea_popescu: and confusing "was it ethical for this man to be kiled at he point in the past when he was" with "is it" is so fuckin dumb
mircea_popescu: you can ask, "is it ethical to kill this man", you can not ask "is it ethical for this man to have been killed." obviously, he's dead, so nevermind.
mircea_popescu: one can ask no ethical questions about ontos.
mircea_popescu: wait, wut ?!
mircea_popescu: <gabriel_laddel> thestringpuller: where are you finding those dumps? I ended up writing a scraper... << twas in the chan like n times, but : bitcoin-otc.com/otc/
mircea_popescu: to think about "your career" you gotta be so far away from a warzone your head'd be spinning
mircea_popescu: but it's nonsense. who the fuck thinks about "the future" lol. people in a warzone think about cunt, and maybe good cognac.
mircea_popescu: you ever been in a warzone ?
mircea_popescu: how so ?
mircea_popescu: cuz he got to see his own death on average a lot closer than the average yurpean
mircea_popescu: that's why the classical, 19th century murican has the reputation of being uncouth and direct and undecourous in europe
mircea_popescu: if that is reduced significantly, the need for some forms goes away.
mircea_popescu: warzones are "unhinging" because the complexity of "society" is a function of the mean distance between individual and his own death
mircea_popescu: not rly.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2009/inchipuiti-va/ << this is incidentally great reading on the topic, albeit in languages. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and dreamweaving MUST be constantly maintained.
mircea_popescu: their logic fails all the god damned time, mostly because it's not logic, self-supported, it's dreamweaving
mircea_popescu: othernubs`> imagine living in a world where logic can fail <<< that's life in a "social sciences" universe.
mircea_popescu: none.
mircea_popescu: makes no difference "what use is the sun to us", that's an ontological point not an ethical one.
mircea_popescu: stop mixing utility into ideality, that's not how thinking works.
mircea_popescu: bounce it's irrelevant what it "does" at the level where ip is defined, see ?
mircea_popescu: misuse the words.
mircea_popescu: just, the fucktards that write about things they don;'t understand, when they're not busy husslking pete in his comment section,
mircea_popescu: they're obviously not malicious in and of themselves.
mircea_popescu: bounce that is just a manner of speaking.
mircea_popescu: undata awareness, not benevolence. map correctly!
mircea_popescu: no, it doesn't need them "to function", because it functioning is not a layer 7 thing.
mircea_popescu: "benevolence" as an objective quality is a layer violation.
mircea_popescu: bounce exactly my point.
mircea_popescu: you're not wrong or right, we're not there yet. just waiting for bounce to pick a time.
mircea_popescu: othernubs` o, you want fist in skull too ?
mircea_popescu: what's the time ?
mircea_popescu: let's try it this way. suppose there's a cathedral tower with a clock.
mircea_popescu: bounce i dunno how.
mircea_popescu: bounce no, inasmuch as fist though your skull moves the matter of your skull around in one way, but MEANS in a number of different arbitrary ways
mircea_popescu: othernubs` i tell you, i love my gold ink cards.
mircea_popescu: it's like asking for an "app aware" tcp/ip implementation.
mircea_popescu: obviously nothing in nature can be "benevolent" seeing how human agency is an ulterior layer.
mircea_popescu: bounce yes, it is begging the question.
mircea_popescu: you know, like obama, the us ally, was the first and perhaps the thickest cock to rape washington.
mircea_popescu: visited the man's grave, too. he was the first and the thickest cock to rape byzantium.
mircea_popescu: ;;google ludovico dandolo

mircea_popescu: Adlai there's not that much in a name.
mircea_popescu: !up pakaloloz
mircea_popescu: !up manamex
mircea_popescu: no, he prolly realised that he doesn't need it or want to use it and it'll just gather dust
mircea_popescu: !up Pierre_Rochard
mircea_popescu: lol failed impulse buy. oh #b-a whay are you such a mall!
mircea_popescu: he should be fucking flogged for this one.
mircea_popescu: it'd almost work as a parody of the redditard generation, except spacey is playing it full straight.
mircea_popescu: dude this "father of invention" flic is the most god awful pandering piece of shit
mircea_popescu: heh.
mircea_popescu: %d
mircea_popescu: eating some earthworms or w/e isn't really doing much anymore.
