mircea_popescu: (same holds
true for
the recent downturn in actual marriages ended
that way
too)
mircea_popescu: the only reason
there's no coke machine murder-suicides is
the low value of
the item.
mircea_popescu: imo most coke drinkers do about
the coins and machines what
they do about
their hopes and wives
mircea_popescu: don't come
to me with a model
that requires
turning wizards into coke machines.
there's no power
to do so and
the effort would be overall -ev anwyay
mircea_popescu: the usg did NOT survive eating
the coin merely a few
times.
mircea_popescu: but when i
tried
that you said "it is a mistake
to ask"
mircea_popescu: why would
THE WIZARD get involved in
this, when
there's an unbound negative result on
the
table.
mircea_popescu: anyway, by "magical dragon" i meant what you seem
to mean by "wizard" just ftr.
mircea_popescu: not an easy
task for angels
to actually walk
the earth.
mircea_popescu: and
the past few years have
taught me a whole lot about
the value and complexity of maintaining impeccability.
mircea_popescu: why would magical dragon risk his magic
to get involved in a system
that may well
tarnish it for no reason ?
mircea_popescu: the mistake is not
to ask for it,
the mistake is
to contemplate a system
that requires
the question answered.
mircea_popescu: so, he put in his key, and
the result came out negatory. what now.
mircea_popescu: how are you going
to resolve dispute between party a which claims it ate its key and party b which claims
the key was junk ?
mircea_popescu: then again...
the past 50 years would look a lot different if i were actually right.
mircea_popescu: i am inclined
to believe
the solution
to
this problem is psychanalisis not software development.
mircea_popescu: if
that reason can be descreibed, is
that reason anything but psychogenic ?
mircea_popescu: is
there any particular reason
the amateur
that's not in a kool dude wot now will manage
to get in
the kool dude wot of
the proposed market ?
mircea_popescu: it'd seem very superficially
that if
this is
true
the other name for it is "polichinelle's secret"
mircea_popescu: a) monkey b) possesses
the key c) will let go IF - c1. not painful c2. food and shelter.
mircea_popescu: what you said is a metaphor for womanhood, not
the other way around.
mircea_popescu: you are
trying
to
take
the personal relationship out of sex.
mircea_popescu: in
that example a) why would anyone accept
to be paid less
than
the "cost
to fuzz", and b) why would anyone opt
to pay more
thanb
the "cost
to fuzz" ?
mircea_popescu: i may be
too slow for how fast
this conversation has become, so gimme an example
mircea_popescu: will
the computer
test if
the
thing it is
testing has met
the
test or merely circumvented
the
test ?
mircea_popescu: ah, i wasn't. an' i'm not about
to link
the
theory wqith
the practice formally yet.
mircea_popescu: well you might have noticed i AM making experiments in
that province.
mircea_popescu: but
that some is important and it falsifies a ~fundamental~ property of markets.
mircea_popescu: it works privately.
there ~are~ dudes who get girlies
to
throw
their soaking wet panties at
them
mircea_popescu: they have a lot of common characteristics, yes, and
the people "in" like
to joke about it and pretend it's "the same". but... it is not.
mircea_popescu: but
the market you propose, like
the market which consists of assassins, like
the market which consists of whores, is eminently NOT a market like
the market
that consists of grain, or ddram chips.
mircea_popescu: contrary
to public idiocy, bitcoin's not particularly adequate
to
the latter.
then again, public idiocy
thought
trains go
too fast so it'll make passengers asphixiate out of lack of oxigen and cars explode.
mircea_popescu: the connection i see is
that
the proposition of
this market is about as silly as
the proposition of
the
trivia bot.
there are fundamental differences between what a market is and what an assassination market is.

thinking
trivia contests - maybe for BTC - would be fun
