mircea_popescu: it's like, steambaked tenderlon.

mircea_popescu: the dough is integral. it makes the meat softbake in steam.

mircea_popescu: (local lout came up with "o, this is basically liver calzone, except the dough's crumblier". the ignorance i have to put up with!(

mircea_popescu: hey there.

mircea_popescu: my logs didn't get included in there because i only log when im on obviously, and that's kinda hole-y.

mircea_popescu: from what i recall mthreat had an open call for logs, got something, and that's what's up there.

mircea_popescu: lol turns out asciilifeform is more responsible for the cult than i.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> dat feel when you start seeing your own lines in the log from today << srsly.

mircea_popescu: proceed from a folk paradigm, you're a trubadour of the 1300s. edit that bitch. retell it.

mircea_popescu: good approach to keeping a blog these days : edit mass culture.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile if you do edit it you end up with trilema. which IS impossible to control, nearly illegible to bureaucrats yet immensely powerful.

mircea_popescu: ." << this is like the power of the press. it's "impossible to edit" for as long as you're not editing it.

mircea_popescu: "Another example: the replacement of folk culture (decentralized/distributed, varying and variable, illegible to bureaucracies, difficult to control) with mass culture (centralized, impossible to edit, bureaucratic, easy to control) — less effortful and allowing for much higher production values and potentially much more talent, but in practice, buying in tends to mean letting your enemies put thoughts into your head

mircea_popescu: the romans "conquered" the greeks and then a century later the toga was replaced by greek habits. herpity derp.

mircea_popescu: hint : it depends on the one. of course primitive fucktards in the amzon will keel over for any westerner. so they should, they're not human, they're junk.

mircea_popescu: "with the convenien ce of jacking off, one quickly loses the ability to pick up" ? something like that ?

mircea_popescu: this is fucking nonsense of the prime order. how come im unaffected ?

mircea_popescu: http://nithgrim.wordpress.com/2014/10/21/the-web-of-dependency/ < "This is the kind of thing Ivan Illich wrote about all the time, and it’s still happening today, to you. With the convenience of frozen dinners and restaurant meals, one quickly loses the knack for preparing food."

mircea_popescu: "all the work usg agents are saving you ? it's work you still have to do. they're just persuasively and pervasively lying about it, while it collects interest undone."

mircea_popescu: "As you can see, I mortgaged my future. Instead of staying with my wonky-but-free ways of doing things, I shifted all of my stuff over to the Mac. It gladly embraced all of it and jealously took it in, never to give it back. Now when I want to get back out, I have to do all of the work I thought I had managed to avoid by using a Mac in the first place." << WORD.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes which is why all the nsa effort put into hijacking this particular workflow, five years ago.

mircea_popescu: that's EXACTLY what the plan is.

mircea_popescu: That's pretty much how it went. Soon, I found myself sitting on the couch at home chatting with people from the laptop instead of sitting at my desk where the "real" computer (Linux box) was. It slowly wormed its way into my life, and before long, I was using it to browse my usual haunts

mircea_popescu: With all of my music on there, suddenly I no longer needed to fight with whatever screwball music player was on my Linux box at the office. I just moved my headphones over to my laptop and kept them there. iTunes took over my music playing needs.

mircea_popescu: http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2013/02/22/mac/ << this is actually an excellent piece.

mircea_popescu: so apparently there's two lobes of the internets.

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2013/bitcoin-assets-rules-and-regulations/#footnote_2_49047 << pretty much the whole story./

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes derpy anon chick with no contributions or redeeming qualities, woke up talking one day about torvalds. the old libtard story about how "words are bad mkay"

mircea_popescu: shiiit, i caught up on the logs! WOW.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re conductive cloth : easy cheap and pleasant anti-taser pill. watch the operator /whould police tough man get 3rd degree bunrs ? win.

mircea_popescu: "oh you know, our derpy united nations thing"

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: derpy? i mean culty. <<< dude you may be the only head of a foundation that says such things.

mircea_popescu: which is what i mean by "anger" earlier. yea, anger. just, not the sort people talking of it would like to presume.

mircea_popescu: supay read that, come back when you get the idea.

mircea_popescu: "the masses" exist thermodynamically because the government is giving them free stuff.
