mircea_popescu: you show me a roomfull of 20 year olds
that all supposedly have an intuitive understanding of number
theory, i see both
the reason poor brin looks like he sucks corcoduse his entire life and a candidate for hanging.
funkenstein_: mircea_popescu, no offense
taken. I have mostly explored Red Square at my own leisure, but still consider myself a stranger
there.
adlai: funkenstein_: for what purpose you comparing? most useful metrics won't be
too dependent on "difference from MRCA", but my intuitive kick barrel is starting
to scrape
mircea_popescu: the crime of math is
that people have gone on
this "intuitive" kick. it only works RARELY.
adlai: but
TCO doesn't help spiders recurse
through
the log-tree
adlai: funkenstein_: most recent common ancestor. you and i have one, we and
the ants have one. probably not
the same one.
mircea_popescu: sentation or not has no bearing on
this. and for
that matter, not knowing set
theory is no fucking crime, most people don't, and
this includes most people who are intelligent and have intelligent
things
to say.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ understand, it's not
that i dislike you or
that i mean
to do you
the boo boo or anything. but
there is a difference between
the guy
that was
taken by hand
through red square and
the guy who lives in moscow. and i don't believe you are familiar with a whole bunch of superior math simply because it's not possible
to be so disorganised in other aspects if
that were
the case. whether you recognize words on pre
assbot: Logged on 21-11-2015 17:57:58; mircea_popescu: if you harbored any doubts
the vermin in question is not merely vermin but
teleguided vermin,
there you go.
funkenstein_: i will ask when I don't understand, how about
that :)
mircea_popescu: your opinion as
to what you're familiar with ain't worth
two shits.
mircea_popescu: obviously
the discussion of metrics, ordered sets etc is useful in
the general, but i don't
think he's familiar with
the field and so i won't use it.
adlai: funkenstein_: "sucking less" is multidimensional, you can have progress away from
the origin (MRCA?) without imposing an absolute ordering of betterness across all individuals
mircea_popescu: most
tellingly, and
the heuristic i generally recognize it by, is
the inability
to find
the places where no context is possible.
funkenstein_: no it has
to do with making logical statements for
the purposes of communication
mircea_popescu: your notion of "context" is rooted in a certain equalitarian mindset
that has nothing
to do with reality.
funkenstein_: It is not
the "equality" in
these
threads
that is bogus but
the mere comparison without context.
mircea_popescu: but
that said, a meson-strained ant would be an interesting
thing.
mircea_popescu: "A is magically comparable
to B on
the grounds
that I believe!"
funkenstein_: if A is "just better"
than B,
there must be some magical divinity in whose image A is closer
too..
this seems equally retarded
funkenstein_: there's not much room for magical divinity anywhere in
these considerations so I
think I'm missing
the point
funkenstein_: in
terms of socialization, biomass, number of legs: ants are superior
funkenstein_: in
terms of sucking cock, playing bach, solving rubics cubes: humas are superior
funkenstein_: anyway, in
terms of mortality, kingdom animalia, being made of baryonic matter,
to name a few: ants and humans are equal
mircea_popescu: then once you've noticed
this you notice
the insecapable similarities with
the systemv maggot, and
there you go.
mircea_popescu: inept gofer @ google wouldn't on his own belt come up with
the shit.
mircea_popescu: if you harbored any doubts
the vermin in question is not merely vermin but
teleguided vermin,
there you go.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's a major point
to everyone with a clue, both for practical and historical considerations.
assbot: Logged on 21-11-2015 17:33:32; mircea_popescu: well yes,
the problem with
the magical
thinking of retards is
that
they assume
there's a divinity somehwere in whose image
they were made.
mircea_popescu: ng part : you keep wanting
to insert
the same
thing back in no matter what. <<< go back
to.
mircea_popescu: which is
the reason sane people paint chunks of metal with idiots' guts.
mircea_popescu: and it still gotta be won
two
to five
times each century, because women still produce lazy stupid worms instead of people as a default.
funkenstein_: because
they
thought for
themselves instead of following orders
mircea_popescu: the sad story here is
that
this is a war we already fucking won. about... uh i dunno, fifty
times
to date.
mircea_popescu: why do you
think
they were hunted like fucking witches.
funkenstein_: anyway
this is hardly an emphasized aspect of quakerism
that moldberg points out
funkenstein_: well I agree,
they don't mean much until a context is provided
mircea_popescu: wehen used in
the manner you seem
to use
them yes
they are useless.
funkenstein_: just, grey areas exist where
they stop working well
funkenstein_: well I've heard
these words used on occasion and
they not useless
mircea_popescu: you've classified
things as "big" "heap" "black" and "white" ?
mircea_popescu: for one
thing
that is not an excuse even if it were
true ; for another
thing it is not
true at all.
funkenstein_: granted,
there are cases where it's hard
to define but it is so with all classifications
mircea_popescu: (incidentally
the reason we were even stguck with
that nonsense, which is currently "id papers". but which has been a public nuisance
throughout)
funkenstein_: no, only
that I can write code
to define
the object
mircea_popescu: now you're presuming
there exists a heavenly Births & Deaths register
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this being
the magic
thinking part : you keep wanting
to insert
the same
thing back in no matter what.
funkenstein_: hmm.. in stating
that
two objects are both members of a class
mircea_popescu: no, meaningless in
the absolute form. "incapable of carrying meaning".
funkenstein_: meaningless
to some
thread sure but certainly meaningful in relation
to consideration of mortality or definition of individuality
funkenstein_: hmm
thanks ascii somehow I missed his mention of quakerism, I am particularly interested
therin
funkenstein_: that one ant right
there, also was born and will die.. just like me
mircea_popescu: the problem with recognizing you're an individual doesn't exist.
the problem with "just like any" is
that you invent a homomorphism
that does not exist.
funkenstein_: I see
the inner light doctrine problem ok.. but I'm not sure what's wrong with recognizing I am an individual just like any ant
mircea_popescu: it's really
the unifying core of retard mental processes.
mircea_popescu: "i just want"/"i'm just
trying
to" derives directly from
this as well.
mircea_popescu: well yes,
the problem with
the magical
thinking of retards is
that
they assume
there's a divinity somehwere in whose image
they were made.
☟︎☟︎ funkenstein_: no i don't.. can't even properly place
the monty python character at
the moment
funkenstein_: the
trouble with biggles stuff
there is
that people assume
there is some kind of universal context in which phrases like "above others" or "higher level" mean something
mircea_popescu: [–]mrbiggles00007 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (1 child) "Anyone who puts
themselves above others in how
they would handle any given situation as if
they are operating at a higher level
than everyone else is usually a fuckwit in my book."
mircea_popescu: actually having a ready window into
the universe of 15yos
that you open only when you feel like is not so bad.
mircea_popescu: lmao
the 21co derps don't
take bitcoin in exchange for
their "bitcoin"-whatever it is
