mircea_popescu: the former's sane,
the later's of
the same ilk as children going
to bed in
their favourite clothes
mircea_popescu: and wanting everything you do
to be driven by your brain.
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between wanting
to use your brain as a general
thing,
mircea_popescu: (which, incidentally, is WHY we only care
to fuck women < 20something.
that's it. after she's moved on
to office life, you can have her.)
mircea_popescu: same hit people going
to work for a bureaucracy exhibit.
mircea_popescu: i guess
the formula probably is, "the predominance of women best suited for housewifing equals
the unit divided by
the maximal litter of a woman"
mircea_popescu: it is rare, yes. look at
the normal distribution, between say 88 and maybe 75 you get what, 4% of
the population ?
mircea_popescu: it is generally rare
to find a woman so stupid her actual optimal level is housewifing.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless,
the model breaks down on low states. which is why
the housewife is such a problem for your approach : she's hot alright.
mircea_popescu: a housewife is exactly
that : someone completely adherent
to
the mob. so much so she can spend all her
time with children and not care.
mircea_popescu: that most creative people
throughout
the ages would prefer
to pretend "they're insane" rather
than make plain
their complete inadherence
to
the mob is readily understandable
mircea_popescu: i see little more at work
than utter contempt for "fellow man" in
the common sense
this is given.
assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 19:34:29; ascii_field: far more interesting is
the
trait hasn eysenck called 'psychoticism'
mircea_popescu: i write
the occasional bit of poetry/literature, and i don't either regard it as some sort of gain or myself as insane (for it)
mircea_popescu: so
there's a number of different problems with
this "ev activity" line of reasoning.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also, art is always and by definition a -ev activity, and people engage in it. for
that matter, love and childmaking idem.
punkman: editing
text in a console drives me mad
mircea_popescu: this is what being intelligent means :
the more intelligent you are,
the less often you get more
than what you put into
things.
mircea_popescu: and re vi - whatever!!1 i used it for years. nowadays i find i mostly use nano.
then again nowadays i mostly read other people's reports.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in computing (the actual kind)
the record's not as bad as in most other disciplines.
mircea_popescu: and yes,
the "scam money rots your brain"
think is also a very powerful
theory.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not
that i'm persuaded, but one can't not notice
the coincidence.
mircea_popescu: maybe you're right, and it's incidentals. or maybe lisp
to
the young mind is like meth-lsd
assbot: Logged on 24-08-2014 21:40:36; *: asciilifeform had a dream many years ago
that his grandfather
took an ancient grinding wheel from workshop,
turned it upside-down, and
taught him
to ride it. and now people actually do something quite like
this.
punkman: asciilifeform: he had his own lisp and I
think he published
the code
that ran HN at some point
mircea_popescu: this "take one side of
the story and run with it" is speciufic of ambitious if none
too bright 15 yo boys.
mircea_popescu: 2) graham spent his mind on
thinking about lisp, ended up a 60 yo
too fucktarded
to understand even
the most basic points of math.
mircea_popescu: 1) naggum spent his mind on
thinking about lisp, ended up a 40year old
too fucktarded
to get out of
the rain.
this is literally what happened, and one will have a lot of
trouble
talking around
the failure of some guy
to avoid dying of perforated ulcer.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform look at
this perhaps very worrisome set of
two examples.
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 13:57:20; mircea_popescu: i
thought graham was supposed
to be a competent old lisp hand. is
this
the brainrot lisp instills in people ?
mircea_popescu: afaik
they're about as fucktardedly puritan as
the anglos
mircea_popescu: so
techniucally it'd be an improvement. and if he stops eating at all and instead starts puking edible vomit like some sort of invertebrate cornucopia, he might even be socially useful FOR ONCE IN HIS SAD EXISTENCE
mircea_popescu: rather
than
the 99.94% his piece of shit "ventures" are currently.
mircea_popescu: he's so hyperfucktarded, he's only going
to be 50% behind actual entrepreneurs.
mircea_popescu: Now suppose you're so un-rapacious
that you only extract half as much from your users as you could.
That means
two years later you'll be making $80k a month instead of $160k. How far behind are you? How long will it
take
to catch up with where you'd have been if you were extracting every penny? A mere 15 weeks. After
two years,
the un-rapacious founder is only 3.5 months behind
the rapacious one."
mircea_popescu: "Some examples will make
this clear. Suppose your company is making $1000 a month now, and you've made something so great
that it's growing at 5% a week.
Two years from now, you'll be making about $160k a month.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: p, and when anything grows at
the rate of a successful startup,
the Y axis will
take care of itself."
mircea_popescu: "I
told him not
to worry about it, because so long as he built something good enough
to spread by word of mouth, he'd have a hyperlinear growth curve. If he was bad at extracting money from people, at worst
this curve would be some constant multiple less
than 1 of what it might have been. But a constant multiple of any curve is exactly
the same shape.
The numbers on
the Y axis are smaller, but
the curve is just as stee
mircea_popescu: /0xfe6404ba34ea4c30538ff4d058f4bf883220fd79 is
the fucking aliens, how about
that.
mircea_popescu: fucking monkeys already. so he fucks up, once by getting involved in a piece of shit scam,
the other for sucking at math. and what he wants
to know ain't "i wonder how i could be less fucktarded" at any point.
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 11:36:42; btcdrak: mircea_popescu: I know your views about XTcoin, but what are your views about raising
the blocksize limit by proper
technical consensus and released
through Bitcoin Core?
mircea_popescu: that's her right nipple and her left
tit under
that pinkish mess.
