joecool: mircea_popescu: ah so personally he ran his life
as such is what you mean, not his government so much?
mircea_popescu: joecool on what grounds would you identify pre-1930 stalin
as a socialist ?
mircea_popescu: joecool well, consider his early life. guy robbed banks and generally lived
as an outlaw.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i;ll tell you how that went. dudes for some reason perceive the need to "sell" it, and since it's obvious that you can't sell something to someone that the someone;d perceive
as a "worse" alternative, then necessarily it must be made so that anarchy is not more painful to the average derp than you know, the 1980s in the us.
JuliaTourianski: Woman and man at a bar. They may or may not be flirting...each may interpret their interaction differently. Man grabs woman's ass. Woman punches man in face. Has there been a violation of the non-aggression principle? What if the woman liked it or wanted it, but felt embarrassed of her urges due to the public setting and retaliated in a way she felt redeemable. Or maybe she was abused
as a child and the act de

as Schopenhauer correctly perceived) is conferred only by death.28
mircea_popescu: or else, that you'd have unbearable brats the sort that grow up to be isaiah berlin and fill the world with the idiocy of their parareasonings
as to why nobody ever needs to grow the fuck up already.
mircea_popescu: the alternative being, of course, that you could be an old maid, in which case the same children would be... just
as equally dead.
mircea_popescu: you get to be 16. at this point you figure - miuch like that chick in wuthering heights or whichever had the 7 sisters - you have about
as much need of fucking
as you have of someone sticking his finger up your nose.
mircea_popescu: JuliaTourianski let's look through all this by using a model of yourself
as a little girl.
JuliaTourianski: "One is that all coercion is, in so far
as it frustrates human desires, bad
as such, although it may have to be applied to prevent other, greater evils; while non-interference, which is the opposite of coercion, is good
as such, although it is not the only good."
mircea_popescu: In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him
as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if you define it
as em with wavelength so and so, then yes.
JuliaTourianski: the form of life he has invented for them, he will, on this definition, have succeeded in liberating them. He will, no doubt, have made them feel free -
as Epictetus feels freer than his master (and the proverbial good man is said to feel happy on the rack). But what he has created is the very antithesis of political freedom
JuliaTourianski: "The doctrine that maintains that what I cannot have I must teach myself not to desire, that a desire eliminated, or successfully resisted, is
as good
as a desire satisfied, is a sublime, but, it seems to me, unmistakable, form of the doctrine of sour grapes: what I cannot be sure of, I cannot truly want. This makes it clear why the definition of negative liberty
as the ability to do what one wishes - which is, in e
jurov: then it ends in 5c 0a
as it should
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^^^^^ < at this level it is difficult to distinguish simple idiocy riding on featuritis (because nobodies wish to get a place in the sun, and absent actual skils what better avenue trhan the pretense of adding value ?) and actual malice
as oyu describe.
mircea_popescu: fuck him. he has a known fraud
as an "investor" ? he's fucked.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker someone made a clear "here's the water, here's the flour" thing so it's simple and obvious, all sorts of derps come up with all sorts of "improvements" consisting of various doughs. "it stores better
as canned frozen dough with our magical chemicals than
as simple flour! and you can make things!"
mircea_popescu: mrjr: there's edge cases with malleability etc, but the benefits are that bitcoin operations can have their coins kept in a tx form, not
as the information of the privkey << this is so braindamaged i can'teven be bothered.
mircea_popescu: ironically, they today
as they back then were "the enemy" strictly because they do not wish to understand or submit to trade, and instead seek to insulate against it.
as if.
mircea_popescu: he's definitely just
as much an enemy
as the wily putin, who clearly understands what bitcoin is all about, and is fighting it more efficiently than the us.

as an activity that to the naive may well look rather cute.
mircea_popescu: kafka is actually famous for exactly the ability to render this real situation in works of fiction.
as you read through the castle or whatever, at some point you realise this is all pretty nutty, but if you look back to spot when the nuttiness started...well... it didn't seem so at the time.
mircea_popescu: the naivity of contemporaneity,
as it's called. hitler also seemed pretty reasonable to plenty of people

as pretty fucking broken
as early
as 1930

as std..er..money transmitter?
mrjr: i wasnt aware there was politics behind nlock. always considered it
as potentially very useful.
mrjr: you broadcast daily,
as it's needed.
mrjr: the tech is useful e.g. for an exchange/bank that keeps large amounts of BTC, but has a daily use for BTC
as clients withdraw funds.
mrjr: there's edge cases with malleability etc, but the benefits are that bitcoin operations can have their coins kept in a tx form, not
as the information of the privkey

as they'd likely have much more of a desire for em
BingoBoingo: Well, that's why I prefer playing
as black and starting with small pawn moves. Harder for the opponent to see in the dark.
BingoBoingo: On it's own it's a naive thing, but the conversation around it will lead to bad things
as it will probably lead to hard fork talk to set the stage for the blocksize increase discussion.
mircea_popescu: but no, because conservative mindset depends on random derp being the king of all creation. which works about
