mircea_popescu: letters-numbers-everythingelse seems logical-er, given that you want to extend the list, if at all, towards the end
mircea_popescu: follow the mainline. whole fucking point is to move vpatching to keccak mechanism. don't genesis on the old style why would you.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hanbot why would you follow the dead branch i don't get it ?
mircea_popescu: in other tales from the cave of noir, "big combo" is almost just as nonsensical as "his kind of woman". the sheer pile of nonsense in these things, jesus christ. NOTHING works.
mircea_popescu has been quite enjoying the whole "scandal" whereby "it was really facebook (dobulespoken as "rogue" "market research" firm) thatr
mircea_popescu: idle cocksucker trying to be clever with his virtue signalling. "here's nothing for a very special dumb cunt!!!"
mircea_popescu: e together the fuck out of humanity's sight until the great dark finally comes on our worst mistake to date, the "information superhighway" web of shit ?
mircea_popescu: scams-not-really-associated-with-bitcoin, from coinpay and buttbase all the way down to gurus, icos and the rest of the menagerie : will you take these bullshit adspaces nobody ever bought even in the days people were still buying online ads, a decade or two ago, the popunders, the "from the web", the "contextuals" all the way down to autoloaders or whatever to be your lawful wedded spouses, to honor and to cherish and to liv
mircea_popescu: right. but he didn't come up with that shit on the spot anymore than he hit pause on the meltdown to run get some eye protection.
mircea_popescu: right. rather in fact like respiration -- everyone has it, and ALL THE TIME ; it takes al schwartz to blow rather than inhale when organometallic fireball's going on.
mircea_popescu: but so far on the instant case, as to 1. "the internet is right there, it's your responsibility to find your way out of the pantsuit paper bag" -- well he's found the republic ; and as to 2. "make something of yourself, son"... too soon to tell yet, isn't it.
mircea_popescu: e's no alternative" has never been devised. nor needs to be devised, really.
mircea_popescu: for which reason, going with the only available alternative is not unethical -- it's outside of ethics altogether (which, for the record, is not "morality" or blabla. ethics is the science of making correct choices, nothing else). obviously in practice this is conflated with wilful blindness, where the agent ~pretends~ to not have had the alternative ; and better whip for stirring idiocy to action than the false call to "ther
mircea_popescu: yes obviously once the choice is presented it's the job of the mind to choose correctly. but the entire job of management consists of being provided two or more alternatives at all points and picking one. there's no such magical chosing absent alternative.
mircea_popescu: in any case you can't blame the vegetative system for cognitive failure ; and in the same spirit, i get it that ~everyone smells the pantsuit on douchebag and is driven mad to the point of barking with it. however, it seems to me the kid's merely maleducated, but fundamentally his brain works underneath.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: diana_coman you know, like the correctly working cunt gets wet whether it's rape or dad or whatever context. which is why "consensual nonconsent" or "DD/lg" are not things for 12 year olds.
mircea_popescu: this then is the gambit of socialism : that it'll manage to maintain the breakage long enough so that every 20yo with a working mind ends up a "web security expert". it's certainly a better approach in "threat control" than ritalin, seeing how it's "invisible" (to the afflicted eye it's quite hard to see. unlike the pill.)
mircea_popescu: this has the unfortunate correlate of implicitly training the best in the population to be trivial idiots (and thus manipulable), much like life in mine tunnels trains eyes out of mammals, or the life of sicilian mineworking boys bred symmetry out of their gait.
mircea_popescu: uncle al's expression is "insistently rewarding poor performance breeds ennui" or somesuch, but the fundamental problem is that the ~correct~ reaction of the working mind confronted with the broken system is to... exploit the breakage.
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-3-22#317465 << i'd add a third, which is "the insistence on the trivial case". there's a fundamental tension at work here, because we call it "exam taking", but bear it in mind that the presence of exam takers is not a flaw in the population, but a failure of the system!
mircea_popescu: aaand in best vincent price lines, "alas, why must i be plagued by the harping of magpies on the eve of battle!"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the quotes i don't mind much but i need the from, can't find shit like what spyked said otherwise so i missed a "you have two" refernece, because apparently i only made a ro one on trilema and wtf.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes there's no "from" op in your logotron is there ?
mircea_popescu: you've got quite the hard-on for the trivial case, don't you ?
mircea_popescu: obviously if someone wants to make something public, then that someone made that something public.
mircea_popescu: i dun think they break, you got some other bug in there.

mircea_popescu: trinque there's something amiss here ; i see 4 ratings from 4 people in teh l1, how can it be +1 ? should be 0 no ?
mircea_popescu: in fact, there is a TON of work for a competent art guy. eulora needs stuff ; i want to get a porny comic off the ground ; mp-wp needs theme work...
mircea_popescu: in other news, earthquake last night unhooked this coil of rope that was resting inside an anal hook hanging from the ceiling of a corridor. plus knocked over girl's essential oils bottles, sent some coffee bags off to seek their fortune about the kitchen floor and so forth!
mircea_popescu: i was trying to figure out wtf is going on, which link in the chain is not performing.
mircea_popescu: ends up with cycle further down the line when unpacking a tx
