chetty: <the_scourge> chetty: are you
talking about CHris Kyle? ... i guess he is a 'journalist' lol// no Brian Williams
the_scourge: mike_c: i'm starting
to
think
that i've
taken a pill which ran an end-run around #b-a ... not sure yet
mike_c: <+the_scourge>
trust me,
those assertions seem like
total nonsense
to me now, even
though i fully believed
them as recently as 3 weeks ago << imagine what you'll whole heartedly believe a month from now!
pete_dushenski: the_scourge: i'm in edmonton. and iirc you're in canada
too
the_scourge was a
total progressive. a libertarian,
tory, ancap progressive
the_scourge: trust me,
those assertions seem like
total nonsense
to me now, even
though i fully believed
them as recently as 3 weeks ago
the_scourge: but yes, we have all been
taught our whole lives
that religion is for coping, atheists worship 'science', etc etc
the_scourge: pete_dushenski: you've obviously not aquainted yourself with NRx at all. if you chose
to read a little and open your mind, it will hurt for several days
pete_dushenski: that's quite specifically what religion is for: coping,
thus survival
pete_dushenski: The God delusion is a parasitic meme because, being alien
to reason, it does not serve
the interests of
the host. << utter nonsense
the_scourge: chetty: are you
talking about CHris Kyle? ... i guess he is a 'journalist' lol
chetty: so what ya'll
think about
the 'journalist' caught in
the big lie? will it help people 'get it' about
the news?
the_scourge: actually
to be honest you really need
to
the gentle introduction and
take
the red pill, do
the original sources on
the revolutionary war,
then read
the dawkins stuff,
then 'open letter'
the_scourge: pete_dushenski: if you read how dawkins got pwned,
then you'll understand what i mean by religionists
the_scourge: wait, are you suggesting
that socialism isn't part of
The Cathedral?
pete_dushenski: and it's not clear
to me
that religionists are going
to risk
their necks for paper-pushers
the_scourge: i don't understand waht
that has
to do with it
pete_dushenski: ...assuming "progressives" are in
the french revolutionary vein
the_scourge: right, but
the religionists might defend
them (or
their right
to a
trial)
to
the death
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> anyway :
the only people in a very untenable phys-sec position are
the various bureaucrats, us or otherwise. <<
the_scourge: dude i am arguing
the exact opposite.
the beueaucrat has NOT power whatsoever.
that is
the entire point
mircea_popescu: there's no need
to hold anyone hostage
to enact a public gutting of government servants.
the_scourge: an btw
the progressive delusion is FAR more powerful
that
the allah delusion, it's more craft and more sublte
mircea_popescu: this is not what's being discussed. you proceed from
the naive locus where
the bureaucrat somehow=
the entire world.
the_scourge: mircea_popescu: have you ever seen someone explode
themselves
to influence
the course of history? i have, in person
mircea_popescu: the_scourge you don't understand how
the world works :)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: when you plug a lamp into a mains socket, is
that also a 'streaming query' ? << win :D
the_scourge: ok hang on. are you REALLY saying
that greed is more powerful and delusion (or religion)? because if you want
to buy hitmen or hold
the entire world ransom
to a dirty bomb or nuclear warheads, you're going
to 1. have
to find really fucking greedy nuclear engineers and/or suicide bombers and/or military guys
pete_dushenski: the_scourge: i suppose
this is another admonition not
to use "we"
mircea_popescu: jews don't understand
this heritage concept like normal people.
the_scourge: pete_dushenski: what... how are we
the heirs???
mircea_popescu: the_scourge if you did log probably has
the line somewhere.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: 'the new state-of-the-art destroyer << is
this
the story
that late bogart film was based on ? "mutiny on
the bounty" i
think it was called.
pete_dushenski: hang out here long enough and your fears about phys-sec (and most other
things) slowly dissipate
the_scourge: and i'm pretty sure i came in here
to ask about it...
the_scourge: i remember seeing
that war crimes comment a LONG
time ago
pete_dushenski: this is where we flip
the
table and say, "now hold on just a minute. if we have
the power, and we do, who should be scared of who now?"
pete_dushenski: the_scourge: it's worth noting
that most people "in bitcoin"
tremble in fear a lot
mircea_popescu: anyway :
the only people in a very untenable phys-sec position are
the various bureaucrats, us or otherwise.
pete_dushenski: did
the kings and aristocrats
that nrx'ers so rose-tintedly adore stay under
their sheets all day ?
assbot: Georg Ritter von Flondor, and what his unhappy life can
teach us pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... (
http://bit.ly/16vmosh )
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2015 01:25:17; mircea_popescu: so no, when i'm
talking about hanging each and every us bureaucrat,
through a war crimes court, within our lifetime i am not being in any sense and
to any degree metaphorical.
pete_dushenski: the_scourge: ya
the "phys-sec"
thing is something i've heard about for years and years now
the_scourge: but i need
to write
this out in a better way ^
the_scourge: pete_dushenski: but i need
to formulate my concerns. it's mostly
to do with ... if you've succeeded in preserving a clean, elegant, un-pwnable bitcoind variant,
then all
the poser cyperpunks GTFO, leaving only a small minority of (VERY valuable BTC) who are
then in a VERY phys-sec vulnerable position
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
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2015 23:53:56; mircea_popescu: jurov for what it's worth, here's my experience with bitcoin remittances : i sent btc
to otc correspondents, ordered wires sent out
to
the hk account of my local agent, who has paid me dollars, in cash, in argentina.
the entire process
took less
than what it
takes
to get a letter of credit, and significantly less
than what international
trade normally settles in.
the_scourge: pete_dushenski: yah, i
thought i had a modicum of
those
things and while i
totally grasp it, my age + intution is doing
this
thing saying: it would never pan out like
that anyways"
mircea_popescu: somehow running a duplicate along with
the original or something ?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron <command-line>:0:0: warning: "_FORTIFY_SOURCE" redefined <<
that doesn't sound so good.
trinque: that fuss about orphan blocks in btcd's log
the other day was a jacked drive, killed 3 ldb files out of 15k
trinque: anybody know how
to
tell btcd
to start from a previous block and re-generate
the rest?
pete_dushenski: the_scourge: it does
take a significant amount of interest in investing, monetary history, politics,
to grasp
mircea_popescu: ask @Outsideness if he still has
the priv key
to
that bitcoin addy ?
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)
assbot: Logged on 05-02-2015 06:53:48; ben_vulpes: i know you don't like
the guy, but nuking his record?
pete_dushenski: on a digital forum where you don't even need
to fuss about body language
pete_dushenski: particularly when
the pretty girl is friendly and open
to conversation like 20/24 hrs every day
pete_dushenski: how long do people have
to admire from a distance before
talking
to
the pretty girl ?
mircea_popescu: oh now i know whence i know him, he linked
to me a few
times.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Everyone who wanted qntra
to have a category page << remove
the <li>, separate
them by ; instead ?
pete_dushenski: we're essentially assembled here
to make sure wmds do something productive
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski which is
this xeno
thing it seems familiar somehow
the_scourge: pete_dushenski: ah
that explains my crossed wires
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> chick's so drastically ugly
tho... << pretty indicative of
the
tail
to which us brass has access << kinda my supposition yeah. kinda sad if
true.
the competition
to be him is at least 100k
to 1.
the competition
to be her ? it's like superunitary, 0.x
to 1.
pete_dushenski: the_scourge: i've read more xeno
that ur, it so happens
mircea_popescu: if
the next 168k blocks fit in 1.25
tb we're so fucked...
mircea_popescu: mod6: looks like 'i've only got 1: blk0001.dat, 985Mb <<< heh how about
that, first 168k blocks fit in 1gb,
the next 168k blocks fit in 35 gb.
the_scourge: the question is, have NRx found out
that we actually live in a world where 'nuclear' weapons don't do anything?
that's potentially one of
the corellaries
to
the entire argument
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu:
this exactly.
twas my comment about nrx not grokking economics, money, and
the fundaments of power
mircea_popescu: "What is
this?
The first*,
the biggest** and
the best*** IRC community." kakobrekla you sly* dog** you*** :D
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
