mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes he'd better, because
the only way

thing can exist is via subsidies. like
the student dorm
BingoBoingo: I dunno if
the whole plant is poisonous, but enough parts are

that really is just a case of one person fucking another
Adlai: if some
trees fell silently, how would you know?
Adlai: a notable exception
to
this being peyote, which has been almost driven extinct
Adlai: the fact
that humans, upon discovering any naturally occurring psychoactive, generally attempt
to ensure its survival
mircea_popescu: Adlai on what (other
than ganja) is
this
theory predicated ?
Adlai: ie, genus Cannabis, like genus

the pertinent shit is

the jump on one of
the bees near me and as I retreat because fuck yellow jackets, all of
the carpente

trinque: also re: Mexico
their cashflow relies on USAians buying drugs, neh?
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-05-2015#1121502 << you have
to understand something essential about drugs :
they aren't products.
this in
the sense
that
their flux isn't pull, it's push (which is why
the sellers are called pushers). so no,
the mexican economy does not rely on others buying drugs anymore
than britain's economy relied on chinese buying opium.
☝︎☟︎ Adlai didn't follow
the egyptian 'spring'
too closely, but it seemed
to be a general process of
the army becoming a free agent, and
the public not disliking
that sufficiently for another revolt (or not having a second army handy
to oust
the first)
mircea_popescu: problem is for all
the linguistic and (ancient) cultural differences, misr is still stuck in
the islam pit.
mircea_popescu: Adlai i would say egypt is copying
the
turkish style
to a decent degree.
turkey is afaik
the only stable situation with a free agent army.
Adlai: does
the egyptian army count as "free agent"?
assbot: Logged on 05-05-2015 21:09:45; ascii_field: su police were likewise intimidating. but
this did not stop
them from
turning free agent when central gov. collapsed.
assbot: Logged on 05-05-2015 21:00:52; ascii_field:
there was an army, and police, in mexico as well
assbot: Logged on 05-05-2015 20:51:52; ascii_field: so far it runs
the ancient cn algo of 'sit by
the river and wait for your enemy's corpse
to float by'

trinque: put a red flag and lenin face on it and sure, allergenic; but sell it as 'farm subsidies' and welfare-subsidized min wage slaveforce and it sells just fine
pete_dushenski: whoa, sec makes us companies report on 'climate change.' why not make
them report what
they ate for lunch ?
mircea_popescu: and honestly i don't suspect
the entire array actually contains one head apt enough
to fucking finesse me. what is
this,
the future ?!
mircea_popescu: except unlike bridge, irl does not have discrete mandatory
tricks.
mircea_popescu: myeah. so
teh usg has all
these minor muppets it keeps
trying
to use in
that manner. get
the majors out so
they can finally play
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell mike_hearn suppose you chill it with
the pretense of my-google-job-is-my-social-proof so
the huge pile of embarassing emails etc won't have
to be leaked. google's been embarassed enough
this year already.
ascii_field: expect him
to wipe his arse with 7 ph.d. diplomas before
this is over.
