mircea_popescu: moreover, as late as during ww2,
the west
thought
the war is mostly about preventing exactly
that.
mircea_popescu: for most of
the industrial revolution, late 1600s
to early 1900s,
this view was exactly not held.
mircea_popescu: "A new system of economic relations was brought into being, based on money
that could be generated at will, in
the form of debt" <<
this is EXACTLY unrelated
to capitalism.
decimation: my male line lived under
the landgraf hesse-homburg for at least 400 years

too
mircea_popescu: decimation
that cavalry was not feudal
tho. prussian military.

the motorized wehrmacht?
mircea_popescu: this may be
true, but
the girl's still pretty badly bloodied.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the problem with using a language is
that you're stuck using it according
to itself
tho.
this is like, orlov horribly mauled a
teenaged girl and you're like "well clearly
the bear
thought her cunt's salmon."
mircea_popescu: perhaps an argument can be brought for places like sicily cca 1930, but it is still very
tenuous.
mircea_popescu: but basically, feudalism and metalwork almost look as a zero sum game : as
the latter develops
the former fades
decimation: Herr Fredrick
took
the "of" for himself
decimation: The German
titles of Landgraf, Markgraf, and Pfalzgraf bei Rhein are in
the same class of ranks as Herzog ("duke") and above
the rank of a Graf ("count").
mircea_popescu: it was ending just as
the hansa was coming into its own.
mircea_popescu: anyway.
the peak of feudalism is around
the peak of
things like
the
tournoi as a public sport.
mircea_popescu: (march = marsh = border, in
this understanding. strips of marginal and
thus uninhabited lands)
mircea_popescu: "about half
the power a count used
to have back when
the counts of belgium dominated france, for
to protect
the country borders"
mircea_popescu: "here's what i remember of
this bad
translation of a phenomena by some people who didn't live it, and who are so far from me culturally i in
turn have no idea. let's make an infographic and educate reddit."
mod6: ok im gonna stop
this
thing, rebuild one more
time for good measure,
then will create diffs & publish.
mircea_popescu: marsh lord, what is known as marquis, actually outranked counts at court, chiefly because being
the lord of a marsh he had much more legal power
than
the head of settled land
mircea_popescu: in any case : counts as in, counts palatine, counts of
the hre, etc, were sovereign.
mircea_popescu: by
the
time anyone cares about
this feudalism was long defeated.
mircea_popescu: russia did not exist.
the various duchies were not even feudal ffs.
mircea_popescu: protip : no, it's not 1550,
that's
the cinquecento in italy, feudalism is already dead and rotting everywhere.
mircea_popescu: i am willing
to bet, on
the strength of
that diagram,
that his disneyland notions of "feudalism" preclude him even knowing WHEN in
time
this happened
mircea_popescu: find a fucking count
that was allegiant
to a duke in
the entire history of feudalism.
mircea_popescu: this is why i don't like reading orlov.
the propaganda angle doesn't bother me as much, but
the millitant, sheer ignorance does.
mod6: it's 1 change
to
the auto.sh file, & have
to have

the
top set correctly. I'll post a copy of
this auto.sh, a diff
to
the 64 bit version and a diff
to
the original portatronic version yet
tonight.
mircea_popescu: <brendafdez> No bitcoin payoutsa, however << a) nothing surprising about it and b) everyone wants
to get as many btc as humanly possible before having
to admit it.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> where it apparently strips flags one added manually
to .config << ahahaha
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah you did say, and yeah i guess pretty much everyone honestly
trying has figured out
the same
thing, if not necessarily apt
to express it.
mod6: will work on bdb & boost... will publish findings/changes
to mailing list when complete...
mod6: x32 OpenSSL built: requires adding -m32 flag
to ./Configure & setting: SSL_ARCH_TYPE=linux-generic32

to see someone else's more.

testing.

the crud stripped out

this
decimation: asciilifeform: did you get

assbot: Logged on 23-03-2015 06:08:33; ben_vulpes: <decimation> I just
thought of a brilliant anti-'area denial' (to usg
term) weapon system. imagine a small
turboprop uav ...
that can drop its wings and
turn into kerosene rocket << why bother with expensive
turbomachinery? just use solid propellants...
