mod6: asciilifeform: did you say you were using gnat
to link ada object flies?
mircea_popescu: but you really have
to be retarded
to imagine a ploy
to claim industrial production is bad isn't obviously
transparent and deeply ineffectual.
mircea_popescu: in a sense i can see it, must be satisfying
to actually MAKE something in postsociety.
mircea_popescu: it's
this fashion
thing, i guess every
third unemployed/able chick is making artisanal soap
these days.
mod6: have
to make our own.
mircea_popescu: i suppose in another decade
there won't be a way
to buy soap.

trinque: I demand for
this
to never have happened at once!
mircea_popescu: (actually, amusingly enough, swift docs date from just about
the era ada was fashionable.
there was such a
time - just like
that
time in
the 90s when everyone was eager
to implement linux-y
things and you didn't really have
to sell it at all, whole cities just switched for no reason)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so
there's a meta-documentation
that's secret and a faux documentation
that's published ?
mircea_popescu: it's remarkably open and well documented for a fiat banking
thing.
mircea_popescu: you could
trivially
test
this swift hypothesis of yours you know - wire a grand
to
the next nigerian
to visit your inbox
then write
to your bank
to reverse it.
mircea_popescu: that's not
the proper approach
there. consider
that you'd "entertain laughably innacurate hypothesis" about a)
things
that really make no difference
to you ; b) with which you have absolutely no experience and c)
that have exactly nothing in common with a hypothesis and everything in common with an article of faith.
mircea_popescu: mind, selling amulets is a
trade like any other
trade. wearing
them is what was being discussed.
mircea_popescu: (technically speaking,
the mp license is actually an anti-amulet, in
the sense
that it makes life impossible for a certain sort of lunatic. inasmuch as its effectiveness is not predicated on metaphysical but on quite physical considerations, it's just a virus.)
mircea_popescu: once
they become necessary and "necessarily effectual", it gets iffy
mircea_popescu: yes,
they are. for as long as
they're decorative, it's one
thing.
mircea_popescu: basically. spurious item of presumed physical effectiveness predicated on
the basis of metaphysical considerations.
mircea_popescu: but anyway - i suppose
the first symtpom of
the barrier giving way is when you start including specific amulet comments
mircea_popescu: but
the wonder is
that you manage
to maintain
this weird somehow encapsulated while writing code. one would find
the notion improbable, on
the face, but
then again i've read said code.
mircea_popescu: if i ever move
to portland and open a shrink practice ima send you a flyer.
mircea_popescu: besides
this should be 1/4btc per hour and i should have a sofa./
mircea_popescu: had it
touched elephants, you'd have a justification about elephant anatomy, just as well.
mircea_popescu: your "notion of how swift works" has absolutely nothing
to do with swift, working or notions, and everything
to do with you justifying your own
theft which happened
to
touch of swift so now yhou have a "hypothesis" about
that.
mircea_popescu: mno.
the policeman looks at
the item, and asks question.
the psychotic
thief looks AT
THE POLICEMAN and "answers" question.
mircea_popescu: it's
the response
to
the question ; it only exists with
the question, dies with
the last echo of
the question. it has no factual basis.
mircea_popescu: "but you did
take
the
thing and put it up your ass" "yes but no it wasn't a
thing not my ass not me"
mircea_popescu: "why did you steal ?" "i had
to i didnt really steal it wasn't me"|
mircea_popescu: justification is
the verbiage produced in response
to inquiry.
mircea_popescu: mno. you are ready
to either accept it as a valid justification, or else accept it as a justification
that needs futher justification.
mircea_popescu: because you aren't in control of
the cognitive process
that involves it.
mircea_popescu: it can not be
true or false. as long as it's what you need
to believe, it'll be
there.
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry,
the name for what you put out is not "hypothesis", it's justification.
mircea_popescu: so you're engaging in intricate description of an item you've never seen. you need explanation of why
this is psychotic ?
mircea_popescu: the path
to mp world starts by now fucking having an opinion about how swift works when you've sent a grand
total of... 0 ? 10 ? what is it ?
mircea_popescu: and note
that
this is no argument ;
this is a judgement.
mircea_popescu: "you are lacan. your picture of
the universe is complete and unrelated
to any extant universe. have fun with it."
mircea_popescu: i'm not engaging
that particular insanity any further.
mircea_popescu: i'm
thoroughly exhausted all patience
trying
to engage
the
thing, so let's just let you live in your own world and mark once and forever
that i lend it exactly
the aforementioned credence.
