mircea_popescu: and no, an arsonist isn't a contributor, nor chomski much of an arsonist at all.
mircea_popescu: so you smell... rotten cum, as a passing waft. you figure... whatever, my mind's brokt. then you smell it again. eventually you tear the whole house upside down, nothing nowhere. to eventually find it comes from.... an older avocado.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: he wouldn't have been out there trying to make a bitcoin-... << claims that he tried (and gave up, because 'can have problems') << lies. what is the urbit thing ?

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski sadly i can't evaluate your contribution because youtube considers it dangerous for minors such as myself.
mircea_popescu: preferably one that doesn't look like a whale coming aground.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski no, that's still the chadians. show me one of these fucktarded, social sciences major chick twerking.
mircea_popescu: they're doing some pathetic recouping of old-and-senile buffett now, mostly predicated on denouncing as heresy his actually useful contributions, two decades prior.
mircea_popescu: guy comprehends more economy than the entire profession of academic economist in the history of the united states.

mircea_popescu: it contributed to the culture of the world less than fucking chad
mircea_popescu: it's not that the us doesn';t have a great brahmin novel. it has NOTHING.
mircea_popescu: no but im seriously offended. the entire fucking pile of a century worth of chomskis and whatnot "brahmins" has produced exactly 0 cultural output.
mircea_popescu: i always thought the distinction is the job of the readership.
mircea_popescu: most don't get to serve as cultural reference points. for this reason.
mircea_popescu: dignork functionally, this is idiocy (denying the fruits of reason lest they interfere with the desires of emotion)
mircea_popescu: this however is not supported by what we're discussing. when you see someone who displays the mental gymnastics required to comprehend the ffi, and then fails to resolve a problem which requires merely differential calculus
mircea_popescu: dignork i don't consider idiocy to be any more all-encompassing than genius. one can be a chemistry genius and die of accidental exposure. one can similarly be a complete idiot in say politics and yet an accomplished farmer.
mircea_popescu: dignork de facto, in the "malicious or idiotic" dilemma you were proposing the latter.
mircea_popescu: be that as it may, he's a reasonably useful tool, and in a utilitarian world his idiocy does not define him as his utility does.
mircea_popescu: so to come round circle, i guess he could be just incredibly fucking stupid, as dignork proposes. perhaps.
mircea_popescu: but that aside, the relative success of b-a as compared to every other dickless-shithead run channel on freenode and beyond speaks directly to the superior cultural achievements and ability of the structured society.

mircea_popescu: fuck off, the only reason you can even have a decent meal in new york is the fucking mob.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what i most took exception with was the inane proposition that the mob (w/.e he calls it, d something) had "no cultural insitutions"
mircea_popescu: if this were the true case he wouldn't have been out there trying to make a bitcoin-killer-ap six weeks after it became obvious to him bitcoin is the killer ap.
mircea_popescu: once that's on the table, the difference between yarvin and dutta is purely cosmetic.
mircea_popescu: he is consistent in the sense that he doesn't want the current one to crash.
mircea_popescu: which is the spirit behind that clause, and generally speaking the spirit behind everything that'll ever work.
mircea_popescu: this because back at reality ranch, the only way to win the game is to constantly attack all the way to the king. there's no prizes for having lost the game but "successfully sieged a rook".
mircea_popescu: the insurgency is not derping with stupid books, the insurgency is the mob, amassing power at the bottom of the market fluxes in the utopian world.
mircea_popescu: the whole thing works, intentionally or no, as a fine work of mr o'brien. only a fucking imbecile would imagine that THAT is the book of the insurgency.
mircea_popescu: "This should be reason enough for anyone to avoid taking up cudgels on behalf of either."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ie, he admits some "outrageous" points, which gives him some credence in the eyes of the more naive intelligent folk, youngestrs mostly. he then turns around and uses this capital to consolidate the very monster he pretends to position himself against
mircea_popescu: that reminds me BingoBoingo : i was gonna say i don't like curtis yarvin / mencius moldbug for the following very specific reason - he sounds exactly like a propaganda job for smart people.
mircea_popescu: On Friday, the peso recovered a smidgen, and the reported “blue dollar” rate dipped below 14 ARS/USD, after the central bank had reportedly blown $10 million of its foreign exchange reserves to prop it up. << to put this in perspective : the argentine natl bank foreign reserves went up 2.5 bn in the interval since i wrote im supporting them and the reporting cutoff for q2. (ie, early august)
mircea_popescu: "“Expect the government to take action to bring this rate down – fast,” wrote Bianca Fernet, stilettos-on-the-ground American economist in Buenos Aires and contributor to Wolf Street. T"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo sure gives new meaning to calling someone an asshole.
