ag3nt_zer0: trinque: well
the stuff of matter must rest upon something, no?
trinque: and I
tend
to interpret it along
those lines, rather
than
there actually existing some
transcendental realm where concepts exist, dance about, generating meaning
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: more pointedly, I
tend
to assume
that where someone makes broad generalizations about "being",
they've actually given me a command
trinque: I
tend
to be wary of systems
that
try
to provide a
taxonomy of human action
ag3nt_zer0: well I suppose one way
to english
the difference is
that a
traditional orientation would be vertical (upward,
toward
the absolute, what not), vs horizontal (man is measure of all
things and human contentment and "happiness" main goals)
ag3nt_zer0: it is really perennial
traditionalism, or perennialism
that I am
thinking of
trinque: it's interesting
then
to see humanism in contrast
to
that
term, as humanism seems
to imagine
this platonic form of "human" which we all resemble, and are
therefore intrinsically valuable somehow
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: shotgun definition: orientation
toward a suprahuman or
transcendental "dimension"
☟︎ trinque: ag3nt_zer0: how do you define
traditionalism?
ag3nt_zer0: anyway it's just nice
to be in a room
that has some good heads in it...
trinque: ah, you'll have
to ask him
then
ag3nt_zer0: I guess I am just
trying
to grasy what mp was excited about... it did seem like he saw a lot of light in
the development, philosophically speaking
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: well I had no idea what structuralism was but read something by mircer_popescu and at
the end he said "welcome
to
the post-post- structuralist world
that
the internet has enabled" or something
to
that effect...
that got me looking at structuralisma dn post structuralism and I was just confused because what I read was
that structuralism was a reaction against humanism -and-
tradition,, but as far as i understand,
☟︎ trinque: I don't see anything new;
talented people
try
to do interesting
things, and others
try
to hold him back
to varying degrees
trinque: so if it's one of
those, oldest swindle
there is
trinque: an attempt of many
to claim some aggregate which supercedes
the individual
williamdunne: Nope, she never came back while I was still in
the UK
ag3nt_zer0: so, if structuralism and post-structuralism are reactions against "traditional" humanism, and "tradition" in general (which seems untenable given
that I see
Traditonal metaphysics as opposed
to humanism), would post-post-structuralism be pro-traditionalism
to some degree?
☟︎ williamdunne: this is *definitely* not an endorsement, I was simply wondering if
they'd run with
the money or if
they were pretending
to do something
ag3nt_zer0: well, can't wait
till maidsafe saves us all from
that!... kidding
mats: other statal regimes have realized google's sigint model beats deep packet inspection every
time
trinque: and
the relationship is likely 5% official
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: given what an extraordinary intelligence asset google hypothetically "could" be it's inconceivable
that
they are not
trinque: just
them doing
their job, really
assbot: Internet piracy: Federal Government's legislation
to block websites passes Senate - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) ... (
http://bit.ly/1BxyUpG )
trinque: look at what
those fucking nutbags pulled off
trinque: no product, fanatics at your disposal, massive prices for your non-product, no
taxes
trinque: their
tax exempt status is
the greatest heist of all
time
trinque: there's a cult
that got places
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: worked for
the scientologists
though
ag3nt_zer0: yes,
the system is fucked, but I wonder about
the feasibility of something created entirely outside of it... maybe on a barge...
williamdunne: Sorry, misread as "education" as a wider group rather
than educated
trinque: williamdunne: sure and
that primary level shouldn't be considered educated
williamdunne: Although
the whole no kid left behind
thing is bullshit no matter
the level
williamdunne: Eh, seems like it is a good
thing even if just at a primary level
trinque: amply
treated here in many
threads already
trinque: current system is predicated on
the idea
that mass production of "educated" is even possible
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: seems
to me you can't fix education in its present form.
ag3nt_zer0: cazalla: no, I don't know what
that is
trinque: he's
the second
to last rhodesian
ag3nt_zer0: I am coming from
the viewpoint of a non-castrated
teacher
that believes in
the
transmissibility of
the flame - but sees
the flame has been hijacked and perverted by
the marxist fag multicultis
mats: its beatings all
the way down
ag3nt_zer0: is it possible
that btc will have any positive effect on
the wretched educational system?
ag3nt_zer0: I notice
that I am one of
the few using
the mangled substitution of numbers for characters... if
this is crass I can change it haha... but is it possible
to migrate my
trust? probably not huh?
jurov: ohmy another
talmudic scholar
mats: where's
the nubs at
mats: would buy
this poster
mats: ill
take a dog over a robot any day
jurov: i implore
theee, speak up
mircea_popescu: (seeing how a
transaction lives as such a finite interval before being included in a block,
the % of
txn
that live as "known
to one" vs
the
total "known
to all" is of particular interest)
mircea_popescu: (for
the amaterus :
txn propagation has a lot in common with epidemiology, a
topic recently
trouched upon here. in any case :
the spots where a
transaction goes from "unknown"
to "broadcast
through one node"
to "broadcast
to
the whole net" are interesting in
the general case. and
the first move
thereof a very good measure of "quality", basically speaking
the inverse of an infection's pathogenicity)
mircea_popescu: the number of
txn broadcast
through one node used
to be pretty much zero. i would guess by now it's over 10%. which is fucking insane.
mircea_popescu: i swear
the quality of
tx relaying is shittening every day.
trinque needs
to start wearing more suits
mircea_popescu: hopefully someone named schultz joins. i
think you haveto have one.
mircea_popescu: btw, check out how nicely
the cult's gangster outlook is rounding out! we now have a guy nicknamed babyface even.
cazalla: well better
to encourage
the sluts around you
to get naked
than
to
tell
them you
think a boring housewife is a better proposition
than
them
williamdunne: Aha, its not something I intend
to do within
the near future
cazalla: anyway williamdunne, you're what? 18? i wouldn't even give
thought
to wife and kids until you hit your 30s or perhaps even later, go whore it up for
the next 15 years
assbot: Logged on 07-03-2015 01:58:55;
trinque: what I'm gathering
though is I have very little rational options beyond get rich, and do it now
williamdunne: Only a handful were particularly irritated, and
they weren't worth keeping contact with anyhow
mircea_popescu: were you basically meaning
to say "my idea of ideal marriage is where im just rich enough
to not give a fuck" but misstated it as "woman should not work out of
the house" and ended up irritating random people ?
trinque: so she's supporting herself by being paid by you
to do work you find valuable
mircea_popescu: fucktarded progressive sectarian nuts. "i have no religion except
this wonky religion
that i claim not
to be one"
williamdunne: By work, I strictly mean doing something which you have
to do
to support yourself financially
mircea_popescu: "Because I am not religious, I have no mystical conception of an afterlife.
To me, a person lives on not in Heaven or Hell but instead in
the minds and hearts of
those
they
touched while alive"
mircea_popescu: if it's worth paying for is work, and if it's not
then it doesn't answer
to
this line.
cazalla: well if she's not kept busy raising your kids or some other hobby, don't be surprised when she ends up in
the bed of another
trinque: so it's a garden, or whatever, still she needs
to see
that her life has some kind of point
trinque: williamdunne: I have had chicks
that don't have a career, and seen
the detriment idleness can be
mircea_popescu: don't
the online whores
these days call it exactly
that ?
trinque: wtf do you
think paid for is?
williamdunne: Why should she work? Are
there not alternatives
to a job
trinque: everyone needs something productive
to do; what's she going
to do, stare at a picture of you all day while you're off living?
williamdunne: Well in which case option 1 is
the beyond obvious choice
