gabriel_laddel: I wish
the black market folk would get
their shit
together, start buying spectroscopy equipment and setup "trap houses" where you can go verify
the pharma you buy is what you
think you're buying.
BingoBoingo: I reverted
to considering
the "chicken

times in actual BTC governance?

BingoBoingo: <funkenstein_> wait, Hearst, Mellon, and DuPont had
the lesser bankroll? << Won on promisatory notes, not completely paid
to
this day
mircea_popescu: if it was
the lesser industry, it had
the lesser bankroll.
funkenstein_: wait, Hearst, Mellon, and DuPont had
the lesser bankroll?
trinque: mircea_popescu: if one's considering rules for
the masses, probably better
to keep a lid on
the stuff
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_
the problem you face is explaining why
the guys with
the lesser bankroll won.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah,
the soy because estrogens
thing has a much better conspiraci score
than
the dupont hemp
thing.
mircea_popescu: trinque
the notion
that devil ~= altered mental state is older

the US because it actually grows like a weed and it estrogens bind
to its proteins emasculating a dependant hog population at
the expense of making
them... Hammy and Planety
trinque: 1950s american culture was entirely opposed
to weird of all kinds
funkenstein_: trinque i doubt it. nobody really cares if some people go mess up
their minds
trinque: and if somebody
took advantage of
that, sure
trinque: weed and other drugs were much more likely banned because
the people (in
the US, probably elsewhere) were ignorant and equated altered mental states with
tha debil

ties
to fiat, not
the better one, won at
that
time

to
the soap, industrial hemp << Soy

their writers without coupons from people
the "Oh,So Hate"
mircea_popescu: sure pays off happens. but why did
the inferior side prevail ? didn't
the better industry have more money ?
mircea_popescu: seems, from a purely
theoretical perspective,
that if
the orcs beat
the humans, it's likely
the humans sucked in some respect.
funkenstein_: somebody pays of a sycophantic congressional body. happens all
the
time.
