assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 14:49:54; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-06-2015#1181240 << the one thing left loose is that AFTER such, rms is not saying, to me or to anyone, "hey, drepper moved to the dark side, glibc was forked". the last thing you'd expect rms to be indicted for would be an inclination to "make things work" and fold for convenience rather than stand for principle. nevertheless...
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-07-2015#1182771 << actually rms was 'for convenience' from day 1, when he abandoned the lispmachine ☝︎

mircea_popescu: otherwise, same tv-driven rank nonsense & feelings.
mircea_popescu: sorta like italians but the chicks have bigger asses.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the proposition that greece is a democracy is beyond laughable, and in general he takes a completely nonsequitur turn straight into nonsense midway.
mircea_popescu: and so no, there's no serious question that the future of the us is anything else or anything different from the africa which it has for so long aimed to join.
assbot: The battlefield of the future on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1LV2nud )

mircea_popescu: "These aren't words that an American or a European politician can utter in public, and perhaps not even whisper to their significant other while lying in bed, because the American eavesdroppers might overhear them, and then the politician in question would get the Dominique Strauss-Kahn treatment"
mircea_popescu: creditor owed can not bother the debtor. meanwhile usg can go burn down his house for no reason.
mircea_popescu: “Just because I get a judgement, it’s a piece of paper—I can try to put a lien on his house, take his car, but he has various homestead exemptions,” he added, citing a law in Kentucky and elsewhere that exists to protect homeowners with deceased spouses who owe money to creditors.
mircea_popescu: He admitted that it would be difficult to collect the money from the Kentucky man.
assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 05:34:04; decimation: which defeats the point of asking individuals to make a decision for the group
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181635 << pretty good dilemma. too bad it is purely logical which means it has nothing to do with the electoral process. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181605 << more than twitter! IT COULD BUY RUSSIA!!1 ☝︎

assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 04:41:25; asciilifeform: hard to picture a sorrier bunch of bitter schmucks, eagerly taking it up the arse from history's biggest and most obscene communist mega-empire (usg) to spite their little piss-ant one
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-06-2015#1181585 << there is something in the entire "cutting off nose to spite your own face" thing. absent this, the pissant has no incentive to uinderstand it is a tiny spec, and may even pretend itself equal to every other asshole out there. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: now, it existed as a cleaner, more useful thing before being coopted for this purpose, of course. much like anything else that's now being used to make large population densities possible was a lot nicer before being shat on
mircea_popescu: anyway, the broadly fraudulent proposition that "you can make yourself better through X Y Z" be they hard work or prayer or anything else fundamentally exists as a direly needed social control mechanism. because the social cost of the ambitiously ungifted is plainly immense, societies have universally and often independently constructed this method to deal with the afflicted.
mircea_popescu: it's a thing.
mircea_popescu: but they also don't have a retroactive abortion mechanism (not that they aren't trying, look at any ghetto ever).
mircea_popescu: all the avatars of orphaned boyhood, kids who grow up without a father have no idea what games to play are there.
mircea_popescu: and so... they "are crypto entusiasts" and "You can go much stronger than that" and so on.
mircea_popescu: why ? because intelligence and ambition are unrelated, and the ambitiously ungifted have absolutely no incentive in recognizing their shortcoming. it's not that it's cheaper to pretend. it's that literally no other alternative is present.
mircea_popescu: some of the anal children will instead make a "different" version of yachthing, which will consist of, for instance, birling.
mircea_popescu: some of the healty, sane boys will put a lot of work into it, and get good enough to compete with us.
mircea_popescu: we introduce to these people the practice and contest of yachting. this is hard work, in that you have to make a yacht, and then sail it.
assbot: Logged on 30-06-2015 03:33:43; asciilifeform: you can't even win 'underhanded c contest' with them. they're ~screamingly~ bad ideas.
