mircea_popescu: managed to confuse the plain absence of
a higher cognitive function for
a correctly functioning intellect because looked at it in
a single case : one where correct function was to stfu.
trinque:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-14#1683508 << apologies, this is going to take another weekend. the bot wallet service is done, but it occurs to me that it'd be wise to separate the OTP generation from the rest of the services. on one side,
a big, complicated wonder of modern computing; on the other,
a simple box connected by serial port which can receive OTP requests, generate them, and confirm/ignore OTPs.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "In 1917 Dodge, her husband, and Elsie Clews Parsons moved to Taos, New Mexico, where she began
a literary colony. On the advice of Tony Luhan,
a Native American whom she would marry in 1923, she purchased
a 12-acre (49,000 m2) property. Luhan set up
a teepee in front of her house, drumming each night in an attempt to lure her to him. Although Sterne bought
a shotgun with the intention of chasing Luhan off the property, unabl
mircea_popescu: works
a damn sight better when it comes to taking
a loud, large british tank and making
a marginally acceptable if too late to matter sherman.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, here's what i can't put to rest : it's not JUST fucking joseph smith, "o i heard them fine folks in rome have this religion thing, ima make one myself out of shit around my log cabin". he's one of the more ridiculous exponents, yes, but he's in no way marginal. not at all. murray rothbard is exactly "oh i heard them folks in paris have
a philosophy, ima make one out of old shit in demolished us protest
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron if you want to put up
a reddit advertisement about it, i'll cover the first 0.1 btc you spend.

a lot of the logs, and came to trilema basically from reading AnonyMints blog posts
mod6: danielpbarron: heeeey! nice, thanks. i'll have to give this
a try here one of these days.
mircea_popescu: got no time to talk to
a girl, got all day to hang out on r/seduction or w/e the fuck.
BingoBoingo: Well,
a shovel appropriate to what you are digging.
finitemaz: Not sure if I fell down
a rabbit hole
ben_vulpes: finitemaz: dunno that there's
a wrong reason to come to trilema
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Aged tardstalk account, apparently posts on altcoin attempt at making
a reddit that pays like
a Qntra

☟︎ BingoBoingo: Don't you know, Obama was supposed to lock America into
a miserly 1.5% growth rate for ever!!!
mod6: obv. we don't know yet, but if that isn't the "we've reached
a perm plateau..." statement of our times, i don't know what is.
trinque knows
a guy whose brother fucked off to the woods in the states to raise alpacas, because why not, better than people
mircea_popescu: so then. making
a friend where you raise the goats is
a lot simpler than it may seem in
a maryland parking lot.
mircea_popescu: (also, while we're at it : the "haughty" behaviour of low preference value ustard females, hair dressers and whatnot, where they roll their eyes and purport as if they're bothered by advances because that's what they imagine they must do, is also very much
a function of food stamps.)
mircea_popescu: her boyfriend, and his friend follow along. and the boyfriend attempts to engage the fiance in the VERY typical, ritual dance of "making
a friend".
mircea_popescu: it's an ok-ish hollycrap movie with the redhead what's her name. anyway, the substance is she's
a mail order ru bride, bought by
a dickless briton.
mod6: throw the damn thing back in, and try again. or find
a new spot.
phf witnessed
a massive hand trawling undertaking in kerala. 20-30 strong men from local village pulling the net by hand, tourists "participating" etc. the end result was maybe 5 tiny fishes altogether..
mircea_popescu: mod6 i'd rather phrase it as "you've been missing out on
a lot of available joy".
mod6: people better get ready. if you can't see yourself herding goats, or fishing off
a dock, or living in
a cabin in the woods; you've had an beyond-your-means "lifestyle" for far too long. it's coming to and end.
mircea_popescu: makes about as much sense as your being eaten by
a frog.
mircea_popescu: for instance. or for whatever other reason. but the point here is -- don't trust your culture to be
a monotonously positive item. it's not.
mircea_popescu: watch girly that'd be
a fine intellect believe "metaphysics" is dumbass pulp nonsense. why ? because her mom's
a wizard don't you know, and her grandmother was
a faith healer.
mircea_popescu: looky here : it is very true that an african is going to perform worse than
a caucasian. i have, like everyone, had ample opportunity to verify this fact, either through literature review over dead africans or work evaluation over live ones.
mircea_popescu: what, you think
a bunch of anodyne dorks made me, what is this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nao you find
a girl and live with her
a while.
mircea_popescu: "we can't have
a baby until we built
a baby room" is NOT
A SKILL
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu just as
a very high quality of goats
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nevermind the theory. guy could have fucking hopped in
a plan to ulaan baator and be raising his own goats within
a fortnight.
mircea_popescu: hey, i got robbed earlier, these tiny ants on my balcony ate
a sliver of tuna.
mircea_popescu: similarily, i have had women, of many kinds and types and speaking various languages and on and on. but not huxley. he, cursed, ONLY ONE! and if she was
a dumb slut -- he, therefore, convicted.
mircea_popescu: he couldn't, eg, have been
a syrian geodesic engineer. or
a lebanese partizan. or
a central asian goat herd.
mircea_popescu: or at least have
a plan! "i;m not taking
a shit now because i will THEN, and i have in point of fact checked and the plan is sound"
trinque: gotta also know how to operate the meat robot your brain's sitting in, which involves taking
a shit regularly, etc
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the problem here is the reverse : "my eyes will jump out of my head if they have to read
a single other page of this rothbard ; best i stop that and go build eye cages"
mod6: 'boiling the shadow of
a pigeon starved to death' << heh
phf: naggum who died from
a mystery gut condition
mircea_popescu: it's
a horrid abuse of intelligence, to use it to dumb self to own body.
mircea_popescu: the fact that blue collar / orcs do not get the same problems is
a clear indication of their non-medical nature.
mircea_popescu: i mean specifically this "doctor doesn't understand my allergies and i have this one blanky that works" attitude. it's very common, and the point is : it is very common in
a) intelligent people of
a technical inclination b) working in shitistans.
mircea_popescu: without prejudice to extant practice : people who are willing to slowly suicide in the swamp will sometimes develop psycho-somatic reactions to the indignity. they tend to medicate them, through
a trial-and-error approach, which is half bad luck and half placebo effect, instead of taking long hard look at why the fuck their eyes water every time they have to behold another instance of the same stable of idiots
BingoBoingo: desloratadine is
a patent extender, so gotta raep the Obamacare piggy while they can
phf: asciilifeform: desloratadine is
a loratadine metabolite, it's not over the counter
mircea_popescu: intel is
a vague thing, constructs lists of truths. afaik did not actually order above item, no.
mircea_popescu: (in other "statehood is the state of clueleness" lulz : florida made tyramine
a schedule i drug in all concentrations, mixtures or presentations. in other words it's not legal to own cheese, or baker's yeast, or rotten fruit in the state of florida)
mircea_popescu: do
a small amount over time, you got
a whole week to play with.
mircea_popescu: eh, you can smuggle it just fine, have
a doctor's recipe and
a pharmacy receipt. nobody knows jack shit about anything, that's the fundamental principle of statehood.
phf: i actually don't know if it's synthesis or an extraction because didn't read the whole thing, but i thought that there's
a synthesis step further in
phf: zanimated chemistry is
a edutainment broadcast out of new york with thomas dolby as
a host teaching you how to make prank bombs out of house hold supplies
mircea_popescu: but "zanimated chemistry" works pretty well also. zanimatelnaya,
a portmanteau of zany and animation.
mircea_popescu: just like before myspace gave all the fatties
a central repository where to deposit their myspace pics, they still took them, and mostly put them on tripods.
mircea_popescu: pillhead chemistry is
a whole 'nother thing. tempting today to just call them redditards, but in fact before reddit welcomed them all into their proper home they existed just the same, dispersed in the population and unnamed
phf: well, artifact is presented here also for its peculiar lulzy nature: the "guide" is distributed as
a gif screenshot of
a chan thread of
a step by step follow along breakdown etc etc
phf: i don't remember the context of the conversation, but it's been on my desktop for
a while, presented here for the lulz
a111: Logged on 2016-11-02 16:57 phf: used to be one of the first image hits for "dmt synthesis",
a screenshot of
a chanboard poast of making dmta "out of household objects"
mircea_popescu: not like
a literary genius, but like an educated human for the love of fuck.
mircea_popescu: augustus, who was
a fucking emperor not one of these rando twerks moving from mercury, minessota to new york to "find their forture" in the pages of the nyt, and therefore FUCKING BUSY not to mention about as untalented as they are, still COULD WRITE.
mircea_popescu: if early colonists had built houses in the manner libertarian authors write, boston would have consisted of
a length of shore on which brick had randomly landed, thrown ashore from ships on which the powder was set ablaze.
mircea_popescu: nobody yet has died of learning
a foreign language! it's the most benign activity conceivable.
mircea_popescu: but then they guard themselves against learning
a new tongue like it's the fucking plague.
