mircea_popescu: cue successive list of idiotic, bureaucratic "attempts" to "in good faith" "make progress towards fixing going forward"

mircea_popescu: now let's wonder why exactly is the usg dept of facebook able to spend 20bn on some random purchase of a valueless firm
mircea_popescu: rally about it.
mircea_popescu: As the protests in Ferguson, Missouri over police fatally shooting 19-year-old Mike Brown have raged through the past several nights, more than a few people have noticed how relatively quiet Facebook news feeds have been on the matter.

mircea_popescu: dude this is too good.
mircea_popescu: holy shit! Musi-Puxi!
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i can see that.
mircea_popescu: it's like reading curtis bouvard, guy read alot but never had any sort of help to become a systematic thinker.
mircea_popescu: that much doesn't even annoy me, my problem is that he without exception ends up pleading to ignorance, to numbers, to baculum, to some fallacy.
mircea_popescu: curtis yarvin a footnote of meaninglessness in a larger discussion, as every fucking time.
mircea_popescu: so there we go.
mircea_popescu: now grant one more thing : there's going to be no space until long after the ocean floor is alma mater. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: exactly.
mircea_popescu: unforgiving master indeed.
mircea_popescu: i nearly got done in in romania by a 5 sq inch, 100 gram piece of tile that fell a foot in front of me, from ten or so floors up.

mircea_popescu: decimation zephyr is better ?
mircea_popescu: ppl trying to be cool.
mircea_popescu: in this sense, global warming would be a boon for humanity, if it weren't a wholly concocted piece of nonsense.
mircea_popescu: and fully automated at that.
mircea_popescu: energy is not actually expensive, both nuclear and geothermal generators can conveniently live submerged.
mircea_popescu: drinkable water i mean.
mircea_popescu: burning the resulting hydrogen in your own atmosphere a) purifies the air and b) makes water.
mircea_popescu: you don't need "air", you need oxygen. oxygen is in water, and not expensive to get out.
mircea_popescu: the tech exists today, integrally.
mircea_popescu: that's a cost of about 100k in scrap metal. ie, affordable.
