mircea_popescu: and this is why i say things like http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-10#1822118 all crumble before it because the alternative is dust at rest on the surface of the moon. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i suppose the missing crown on this entire thread is to be had by coming back to http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-06#1679600 / http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-14#1825478 and point out that currently accepted theorems, be they in physics, math, what have you, including whatever you wish to include, thales, archimedes, pythagora, descartes, gauss, WHATEVER aren't "things known to be true". ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: check out how fast i type now btw!!! i took a class!

mircea_popescu: this "i am a bum and i sit under bridge" thing is not a thing.

mircea_popescu: and if one ~doesn't~ have the equivalent, because one is a nomad, one fucking finds things on his own. i get it, not everyone can own a castle, to wait for carts of grain to come in for the market. fine. BUT ONE STILL EATS.

mircea_popescu: and so no, there's no fucking excuse. if one has an equivalent of trilema, that claim may only be permitted to stand IF IT IS FUNCTIONALLY EQUIVALENT. if it does the same thing. i think nothing of, picking randomly, orlovs' blog, or yarvin's blog, or you name the idiot, anil dash, fucktard mcdumbsticks, whatever, BECAUSE their blogs don't fucking work. and "i have a lot of '''traffic'''" isn't a working, and "i get paid to ad

mircea_popescu: it's very true that i'd have never given a shit had nobody said something to me about it on my blog ; but it's just as true that ~the reason~ i took that stance was specifically that someone ~was going to~ say something to me on my blog, about that as about anything else worth the note, because that's what i built it as for fucks' sake.

mircea_popescu: these went nowhere because a) not directly related to something i was working in at the time and b) not nearly as well respected source in my eyes -- though perhaps the order's reversed. in any case, it was very much "guy i know raised a sorta-objection to the completeness of my research which had to be remedied", and if one thinks the bias in such a context is ever anything but "get rid of it" that one's very naive indeed.

mircea_popescu: if i can't something it's an argentine.

mircea_popescu: in other words, elderly ukrs got insufficient assfucking, i hope their childrens get sold to fight in africa. what fucking iphones.

mircea_popescu: and yeah, do you realise this, i wasn't even wearing black shirts until some point past bitcoin.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, woman even said this somewhere, i dun recall where, possibly on one of her meanwhile disappeared blogs, that "i used to think my walls were white then you sat there and against your shirt they looked grey".

mircea_popescu: and to bring this to a very plain example, the reason ~natural~ slavegirl says http://trilema.com/2018/when-cherri-met-rae-rae-also-met-cherri/#selection-3537.0-3539.57 is because she correctly intuits that the whole basis is "i've never said no to you", ie, unbroken chain of obedience. (and the reason she's a natural is exactly that she intuits this sort of thing, and so on.)

mircea_popescu: i don't have any clue of what dood was when he was 20 yo ; but he ain't it now.

mircea_popescu: i'm no genius, i just don't lie to myself.

mircea_popescu: what, is the proposition that i'm some kind of genius ?

mircea_popescu: it took me all of half week to find the bitcoin-otc in 2011, and this considering a) i hadn't been on irc in a decade ; b) i thought computers are idiotic and computer dweebs idiotic-er still for simply being involved with them ; c) was looking for sufficient cause to dismiss this bitcoin bullshit. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: the other fucktard in the class was periodically whining his idiocy at me, if i recall.

mircea_popescu: that's what it is : he wants, and thereby i know he was raped as a child.

mircea_popescu: hence the whole http://trilema.com/2017/is-it-still-rape-if-i-write-science-on-my-penis-first/ discussion and so on. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: the only correct approach is "i couldn't give less of a shit about all of it and what's this do ?!"

mircea_popescu: the fact that he wants, i find intrinsically retarded.

mircea_popescu: i'll tell you where : bitch only "learned" it to protect something else thereby.

mircea_popescu: but as it is, the moment the idiocy he is protecting goes away, so goes away his perceived need for whatever "he got right" and there you sit, wondering, "hey, i taught you this a year ago, where did it go ?!?!"

mircea_popescu: and so this is the deep root of what i mean when i say "he didn't get anything right" : the ~only reason~ he included $republican-item in his soup is to support some other batshit insanity ; it's not a root but a frill for him -- as proven by the fact that were it root, it'd have rid him of the batshit he aims to hang on it.

mircea_popescu: the more they spend "thinking", the more they'll have to spend thinking to get rid of the elaborate elucubrations they came up with ; and not even linearly "the more", i'm affraid it's exponential.

mircea_popescu: idiot (I) consists of ordered list (L) of statement trees (Ti). each individual statement in each tree is either true or false ; relatedly to this, every tree is either solid or nonsense.

mircea_popescu: entirely conceivable. who's to know the alternative futures. but the point stands -- the only thing i see when i see one of these old nothings is, "here's a hole you can pour sweat into forever"

mircea_popescu: what the fuck am i to do with a "us academic", ie, a 12 yo captive in a 60yo's body ?

mircea_popescu: i've yet to see this.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, lobbes you're more patient than me. the only way i can interpret the sort of behaviour is in the bdsm terminology, as brats. and i can't fucking stand brats, not to mention they're the essential pinnacle of idiocy, "i know it dun work but it's more important that it's my dumb idea than that it works".

mircea_popescu: also, register a key already, i'll rate you, then you can self voice.

mircea_popescu: beachdick ?! oh i gotta see this thing

mircea_popescu: i can't imagine why anyone thinks this belongs in a website. it's evidently a tarball.

mircea_popescu: alternatively, squeeze bitter orange, i guess.
