mircea_popescu: Second question: why work? Men are not being taught to want their job to value them, in fact, men want
as little to do with their jobs
as possible. Randi and the globalism party bus are teaching women to want "careers"-- more precisely, to want to draw more of their identity from their careers."
mircea_popescu: "Every time you hear the word globalism, you should hear three things: 1. wealth uncoupled from work product. 2. Lifestyle
as a reflection of your personal self-worth. 3. You give up control of the capital, and by capital I mean you. "Do I still get paid?" Sure, but you have to promise to spend more than what we pay. "How will that work?" Don't worry, Visa will explain it all to you."
mircea_popescu: So Randi goes to Davos, never once asking why they would want her there? Convincing her demo of underproducing hyperconsumers that capitalism-- controlling capital-- is pointless and mean, but globalism-- doublespoken
as "progress", "human rights", "everything is connected"-- that is a noble cause. Remember that the "culture" she thinks she speaks for, including those that hate her-- "the startup culture"-- is premis
mircea_popescu: you know most of the lolz there are
as to how incomplete it is
felipelalli: cazalla BingoBoingo please talk about Italy in Qntra.net
as pete_dushenski suggested! This is huge!
BingoBoingo: "Ms. Kim has an impressively broad resume, but it is not especially deep. Ms. Kim appears on Stellar legal documents and itswebsite
as “secretary,” “executive director” and “member” (under its bylaws). Whatever her talents, they do not include leadership. Her legacy at SimpleHoney was a pair of false-start products, punctuated by a blog post titled “How to Build a Startup from a Beach.”"
the_scourge: i'm undecided
as to wether such scams demonstrate a concerted smear attempt or are simply exposing the nasty nature of our 'corportate' culture
BingoBoingo: "After the vote,
as would prove to be his habit when faced with a situation not to his liking, Mr. McCaleb simply disappeared. He and Ms. Kim went to Costa Rica to surf, then to Brazil. Even close friends at Ripple Labs had no idea where their mercurial founder was for months at a time."
BingoBoingo: "This all culminated in a showdown meeting in which the board and key investors sided with Mr. Larsen. It was a 5-1 vote to keep Mr. Larsen
as CEO with Mr. McCaleb himself being the lone dissenter. Even Mr. McCaleb’s ally, Mr. Powell, voted to retain Mr. Larsen,
as did Roger Ver, another McCaleb friend in the room."
mircea_popescu: i dun believe the web is starved of anything nearly
as badly
as it's starved of usable value points of comparison. neatly mirrors how those kids are starved for exemplary leadership irl.
TheNewDeal: Any who, if someone is interested or becomes more interested
as time goes on, send me a gribble message
mircea_popescu:
as weigh is at 90k, even should you hold all the no you can't expect to make more than .189
mircea_popescu: the "turn the other cheek" folk over there. the "if you
as much
as bother a hair of my beard I'll gouge your fucking eyes out with your own detached ribs" folk over here.
mircea_popescu: it could
as well mean blog going "Fuck you, of course I fuck my students!"
mircea_popescu: obviously the garbage composter will take either just
as happily, and so would the toilet.
mircea_popescu: his general point is well taken :
as whole groups, the burgeois-puritans were more on point than the feudal-catholics. however, (and he says it, but he hides it too because he does not want to confront it) :
as elites, the catholics mashed the puritans into the ground.
mircea_popescu: fucking a. didn't this guy
as retold by asciilifeform end up sucking cock because "gentleman" in his own opinion ?
pete_dushenski: have i read mold
as exhaustively
as asciilifeform ? no. have i read some ? yes
mircea_popescu: they're just
as much pseudo, the political motivation of pseudoscience makes not on wit of difference.
mircea_popescu: yarvin doesn't get an out of jail free card just because he is "with us",
as opposed to whoever, golf club pattern proponent
mircea_popescu: the_scourge: wait, are you suggesting that socialism isn't part of The Cathedral? << a) "the cathedral" is about

danielpbarron: and it turns out there's an error before that one; currently trying to compile
as root in case it's something i messed up with the cross compiler install
the_scourge: pete_dushenski: because most don't quite understand the point. i kinda get the perceived problem (thanks to alf) but the solution, while cool, hasn't struck me
as nuclear (yet)
the_scourge: oh yah he takes it
as a manifesto. obviously my reaction would only be for those who are meticulously combing through UR, and haven't even bothered to have a gander at xenosystems yet
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: definitely. i'm answering one of his comments right now,
as it so happens
the_scourge: mircea_popescu: good advice but
as a non-USian who has spent 90% of his life outside the US and 100% of his adult life outside of N/A, and has lived in non-western places
as well, i think there could be something said for living for a short while in california or new england
the_scourge: i agree with everyone's sentiment regarding hipsters trying to figure out what ism they are.
as someone who's had to earn all his priviledge, i went to uni with such people but cannot relate to them much. however didn't we just tell mr BigBitz and partner that it doesn't matter how hard you work, if you're working on the wrong thing?
mircea_popescu: so i'm not too inclined to see any of these lables
as anything more than "ignorant kids from the us web". be it "nrx" or "neoreaction" or etc.
mircea_popescu: ute them
as important, contrary to the tenets of the us religion of marketing.
mircea_popescu: so let's leave aside the "therefore" bitcoin this and that,
as i dun have the energy. instead, re "nrx" : i have little doubt that there are some kids in the us that thought the one repackaging of stuff they ran across is somehow more significant than all the repackagings they don't know, and definitely more significant than the originals. and that they need a name and so on. this exercise in nominalism does not instit
the_scourge: "Finally, it should be mentioned that developer-signed blocks are known in the PoS community
as gribble: Nick 'BigBitz', with hostmask 'BigBitz!~BigBitz@unaffiliated/bigbitz', is identified
as user 'BigBitz', with GPG key id AB6B34E4289B7F96, key fingerprint E6D96C3A035A057AD9DD8A9DAB6B34E4289B7F96, and bitcoin address 1BigBitzyouKT2eVYvHbRUNMkCp9bvAvSu
mircea_popescu: it is more a function of people being removed from the means of production than anything. no living thing will ever accept its pointlessness.
as such, cargo cults and mud pies everywhere.
mircea_popescu: Rippleflip_ to put it plainly : someone who does not see being in wot

fluffypony: mircea_popescu: he's attached to the Monero Research Lab
as one of the MRL Friends, so he's participated in some of the Schnorr signature multi-sig discussions we've had
ben_vulpes: the point that i'm making (for the clinically slow) is that the odds of a key from...2013 just showing up and having anything pointful to say, especially when citing bitcointalk
as proof or substantiation of anything are...low.
ben_vulpes: phillipsjk: ya well bitcoin monetized, and monero hasn't yet and likely won't so that's the kind of comment that paints you
as entirely ignorant of the domain.
ben_vulpes: you've made no argument
as to this 1e6 number.

mircea_popescu: "You're thinking of animals based not on interaction with animals, but on interactions with human depictions of animals. Such
as animals drawn by a person in a book, "animal" cartoon characters made to resemble people, people in animal plush costumes and so forth. All of this creates in you the false but deep seated impression that animals are residually a sort of people. This is not true. Animals are not at all a sort
mircea_popescu: but it would seem to me that even should i decide to take turns with the woman
as to who's on top, this does not automatically preclude us from enjoying a D/s relationship.
phillipsjk: mircea_popescu, cooperation is common in nature. Even without submission/domination. Examples include Geese taking turns leading migrations, alarm signals (sometimes seen
as altruistic), herd/school protection.
mircea_popescu: coderwill
as chance would have it, im reading a bit of orwell discussing exactly the same.
mircea_popescu: i'll be sure to tweet criticisms of her accessories

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform thinking too much is fine, for
as long
as it's mere spinning, and never productive.
decimation: that once they are not in the job any more they realize they don't have nearly
as many friends
as they thought they did. The smarter ones do know this. And that's why so many[?] hang onto power. "
☟︎☟︎ ben_vulpes: Disclosure: Although the event was closed to the media, I was invited by the founders of Nexus, Jonah Wittkamper and Rachel Cohen Gerrol, to report on the conference
