a111: Logged on 2016-05-14 18:40 BingoBoingo waits for
the eventually day when alf wanders into an embassy and
the embassy doesn't let him leave.
mircea_popescu: meanwhuile dumbass f-secure site pops all
the bullshit surveys and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: the idiots are prolly regexp matching ".py" in
the generated-by meta
tag or somesuch idiocy.
mircea_popescu: in yet another example of "security industry" being a bunch of useless scammers, "<Wise> Why is my fsecure antivirus stopping
the
http://logs.minigame.bz webpage in my browser claiming it´s suspect?"
shinohai: I couldn't find what
the outcome of
their "legal options" were
tho
mircea_popescu: improving on nature is how fish
tanks start with fish and end up with algae.
hanbot: can't learn once
they're dead, neh?
mircea_popescu: educating children by
the sight of
the whip only works in children
that have lived experience with
the cut of
the whip. otherwise, it's just some weird churchly ritual of no meaning, power or importance.
mircea_popescu: and people suspected
the river is stocked with enough garbagemen
to allow for
the occasional dumping of garbage.
hanbot: i suspect nature is stocked with enough barbs
to allow for
the occasional narrow escape without sacrificing doom&consequence.
mircea_popescu: mental health, i mean.
the problem of "coffin liners"
that asciilifeform discussed in
the log is
the direct counter
to
this. if
they don't catch
their death of cold,
they lose
track of
themselves.
this is not good.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's great for his fucking health
that if he starts running around
the field packing chicken with snow he catches a cold and dies.
hanbot: not
that i
think
the victim shouldn't be blamed in such cases. an exemption for eg francis bacon would've been nice
tho.
hanbot: mircea_popescu i
think
that's supposed
to go "fewer great people die from preventable causes
than
then"
mircea_popescu: but if you ask
the economiasts of
the statu quo,
they would say yes,
this is progress - fewer idiots die now
than
then.
diana_coman: for
the other if it is for a simple explanation, I'd go for
the fact
that many more used
to die before
they even reached 15 or whatever
mircea_popescu: a few generations ?
that's
too fast for most bacteria.
diana_coman: don't really know enough
to say whether genetic really is simply
the same for one
thing
mircea_popescu: i do not care
to distinguish which specific facet of progress did more, or most, or anything.
mircea_popescu: and since "progress" spans ALL
the environment,
the assessment's fair.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman but
there's not
that many alternative causations. it could either be genetic or environmental.
mircea_popescu: and
that something... doesn't have
to be a meteor strike. suppose one of
the
three changes sides and goes full republic. what
then.
☟︎☟︎ diana_coman: <mircea_popescu> i have no fucking idea how progress, improvement and liberation resulted in a palpable drop of 25-30 iq points across
the entire population, but
there it is. <- uhm, correlation ate causation much?
mircea_popescu: but
that aside ... and incidentally
THIS is why "apocalyptic" scenarios are so fucking dangerous. god only help you if you're
trying
to live "in
the civilised world" and ANYTHING happens
to keep any one of
those
three from his
toys.
mircea_popescu: it's economically masked by
the fact
that power leverage increased with
technology, exponentially - so
to run a 10`000 group
then you needed 1k > 100 and 100 > 110 and at least a dozen > 120, but now 3 people over 115 suffice.
mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea how progress, improvement and liberation resulted in a palpable drop of 25-30 iq points across
the entire population, but
there it is.
mircea_popescu: (which was, at
the
time,
the fate of
the highly functional retards. women above 90iq actually married.)
mircea_popescu: hanbot for all
the derpage about "liberation" etc - most women don't actually behave like
they're old enough
to be house servants.
mircea_popescu: education however - has. reformed out
the wazoo by all sorts of ustardian/evanghelical/whatever derps.
mircea_popescu: genetics have not changed in a century ; or in
ten millenia for
that matter.
hanbot: well i imagine most women would get
the "hysterical" stamp anyway.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside how
they wouldn't pass
the ridicule of
the flauberts of
that world.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think one
third of present "first world" folk would pass a rigorous sanity check as executed by 1916 mental health practitioners.
☟︎ hanbot: everyone knows you have
to prepare for sucksess, what's
this "doing" you speak of! it costs
too much, it's better
to wait,
they'll do it once
their real lives begin.
mircea_popescu: but whatever, as long as conde nast's happy
that reddit gets "user generated content" all's well.
mircea_popescu: to anyone qualified in
the field it's obvious
that
this approach helps psychosis and hurts neurosis ; and
that it's about 1000
times more likely
to be picked up by
the neurotic
than by
the psychotic. for
the very fucking obvious reason
that cures predicated on health are no fucking cures whatsoever omfg what school did
these nitwits go
to anyway!
mircea_popescu: ie,
that cbt shit. supposedly if you write down everything in detail instead of doing it, you'll be better.
mircea_popescu: turns out,
this, like most everything else in mental pathology, is actually
the result of attempted curative practices
mircea_popescu: hanbot you know, looking
through it... one
thing
that struck me about
the abundance of patently insane esl folk is,
this strange, rare (from a clinical pov)
tendency
to minutiously document
their whatevers.
☟︎ shinohai: i didn't catch
that, nice one hanbot
mircea_popescu: lost forever in
the streets of whaledom... he's
the man
that never ret-urned.
mircea_popescu: or maybe
the day BingoBoingo wanders into a cunt and
the cunt doesn't let him leave/
BingoBoingo waits for
the eventually day when alf wanders into an embassy and
the embassy doesn't let him leave.
☟︎ davout: asciilifeform: you didn't spot it, you failed
the
test
mircea_popescu: and "nobody knows"
that new ones pop here as
they happen, ofcourse. lettuce not be divisive.
ben_vulpes: now
that he's got
the whole keyset he can properly duplicate and backdate stan's work
ben_vulpes: boeck's going
to show up with all of
the keys and a backdated modulus or
two now
a111: Logged on 2016-05-14 14:38 mircea_popescu: lol nothing wrong with
that is
there ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, i can't recall who's wash ro ambassador. but
traditionalyl
that
thing's a
total rat's nest of spyppls.
mircea_popescu: fuck, 50 years ago people'd be so impressed you had a computer at all
they'd hire you. etc.
mircea_popescu: used
to be how
this worked, 150 or so years ago. you wrote
to
the newspaper, and
they were so impressed you could write at all
they'd hire you.
shinohai: Just go ahead and write
the Chicago
Trib and NYT while yer at it bub
shinohai: I am getting
this error for some reason when generating ascii graphs: Warning: Layouter could only place 31 nodes/31 edges out of 31/34 - giving up at
t.pl line 312.
shinohai: I got obsessed with
tbot features last night.
shinohai: ;;later
tell mod6 I almost have bot able
to accept
tickets, needs a few
tweaks.
mircea_popescu: girl's clearly havign fun / feeling safe / all in lubs and shit. which is definitely something
that went out of porn with
the end of
the 80s.
shinohai: Still rather nice
to wake up
to I'd say.
mircea_popescu: bad crop, bad pose, what
the fuck is it with
the milkstained, nipple
torn bra and so on.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
the muppets live off pretense and derpage. perfectly self-consistent.
ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell luke-jr
trilema.com/2016/the-necessary-prerequisite-for-any-change-to-the-bitcoin-protocol/
joecool: mircea_popescu: i believe he did
that for what
they call,
the lulz
mircea_popescu: so word around
the campfire is
that president donald
trunkduck is going
to have a
turducken dinner for his wh inauguration.
mod6: want a
tbot sneak peak?
BingoBoingo: But
there's no reason one can't read all of qntra in 2-3 months
to catch up.
BingoBoingo: Too early
to
tell, but it only
too MPEx what, a month of beta
then 30 BTC, 50 BTC, moon?
mircea_popescu: so what, qntra spaceship left earth in 2015 and
that's
that ?
BingoBoingo: But how would
that help
to filter alert/regular readers from
the people who should have been around in 2015?
mircea_popescu: i guess one
thing here is, maybe qntra should have a lexicon ?
BingoBoingo: Perhaps not, I'll replace it with a better article from
Trilema
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo listen, perhaps an article discussing us corn inventories and market not
the best explanatory piece for "obestiality and
transmayogenderism".
trinque: mod6 │ anal fisting site should have expected
to get
their backdoor penetrated << loool
mircea_popescu: to quote
teh
typically frustrated esltard, "I like
this game, but I have gotten as far as I can go...not
the end of
the game, mind you, I just can't get any farther.
There is no information available anywhere about how
to get past
these obstacles. No point in playing anymore. "
mircea_popescu: incidentally, anyone know guardian sword (picsoft) ? pretty decent roguelike adventure ~for
teh ipad~. complete with involuntary
translation lulz etc.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, not much has happened
this month other
than Clinton v. Clinton noise
shinohai: I haven't found much material
this month. Reddit makes me vomit.
trinque: shinohai: yeah I'll fix
that css
