that aren’t include Brazil nuts, Cashews, Walnuts, Coconuts, Macadamia nuts, Peanuts,
Tom Cruise, and Pistachios"
pete_dushenski: saifedean: if you eliminate grains, seeds and sugars, you effectively eliminate
the possibility of developing most modern diseases, including diabetes, cancer, alzheimer's, obesity, and so on << aren't nuts part of paleo ?
Vexual: no, one should always stop off for lunch somewhere nice on
the journey
pete_dushenski: it's not enough
to just pretend
to be all-powerful and all-conquering and
then execute
pete_dushenski: reading
the logs about paleo, black coffee etc,
the health-related upsides of
this cult are readily apparent.

to live
there. bon chance!
Vexual: theres really nothing better
to spend money on
than food
pete_dushenski: good food never goes out of fashion, even if it might occupy a smaller piece of
the pie in bezzletimes
pete_dushenski: saifedean:my idea is
to prepare for
the future of
the
triumphant return of hard money, low-time preference, and civilization, and
to profit from it by doing good food properly, in a beautiful setting where you can relax around a big grill's fire and enjoy your meal like a civilized human <<
this does sound rather splendid.

ben_vulpes: might i note
that while we have
the lordship list Vexual and ninjashogun are some early "citizens" if i might be so bold
mod6: mircea_popescu: My plan for now is
to just post a summary of
the on-goings
to
the mailing list once per month.
This seems like a good start. I can even coordinate with jurov
to post
the summary before
the statement so he can link it in
there.
Vexual: I remember some other pilot hit
the whisky hard and landed with half a gallon
to spare
assbot: How One Australian
Town Helped A Doomed Plane Win History's Greatest Air Race
Vexual: then
they broke into
the radio station and
told everyone
to
take
their cars and make a landing strip with
their headlights, it was a big success
Vexual: i forget
the rest, but
they eneded up over some
town
that realised
they were
trying
to land, and

the streetlights

decimation:
https://chnm.gmu.edu/revolution/d/367/ "1.
The National Assembly decrees
that hereditary nobility is forever abolished. Consequently,
the
titles of Prince, Duke, Count, Marquis, Viscount, Vidame, Baron, Knight, Lord, Squire, Noble, and all other similar
titles shall neither be accepted by, nor bestowed upon, anyone whomsoever."
ben_vulpes: but we'll bark a bit more on
the mailing list and some qntra hound can round it up at whatever frequency
they please.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you underestimate
the depth of
the glue and
the sharpness of
the glass
mircea_popescu: the pretense of "government" is nothing but exactly
that : pretense. useful,
to a very limited degree, for fucktards, like
the kids
that won't "learn" unless
there's santa
there with
the notebook.
mircea_popescu: this guy reading
the code and
that guy making
the log work and so on and so forth
mircea_popescu: but with or without
the emperor, clothed or not, it is still
the regular folks.
decimation: right, once it is obvious
that
the emperor has no clothes, regular folks just
take it upon
themselves
to solve problems
mircea_popescu: i dunno dude. a) not have
the problems and b) solve
them
the same exact way
they're currently solved anyway ?
mircea_popescu: on display was
the heroism of individuals, in
the Air Force and outside, who
took matters into
their own hands on
the spot, rescued people, monitored
the situation, evacuated nearby farms in
the path of
toxic clouds, and improvised as events required."
mircea_popescu: "As
the night proceeded, all of
the Carter era military malaise became evident.
The Air Force lied
to local law enforcement and media about what was happening, couldn't communicate with first responders, failed
to send an evacuation helicopter for a gravely injured person because an irrelevant piece of equipment wasn't available, and could not come
to a decision about how
to respond as
the situation deteriorated. Also
mircea_popescu: by
the way ben_vulpes mod6 you
two plan
to make some sort of monthly "state of
the bitcoin" address
to go with jurov's reports ?
assbot: Regulation for our lord Regulos pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
assbot: Logged on 26-02-2014 06:23:40; asciilifeform: channelling herr naggum: 'It is like going
to a library full of books
that
took 50 man-years
to produce each, inventing a way
to cut down
the costs
to a few man-months per book by copying and randomly improving on other books, and
then wondering why nobody
thinks your library full of
these cheaper books is an inspiration
to future authors.'
mircea_popescu: it's like a strategic decision
that "people who read us aren't actually interested"
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i saw
them a hundred
times. <<
the problem with
the new, cheaper "media"
ben_vulpes: this just in,
the universe is a stochastic bitch: of all qntra posts,
their
tweetmachine failed
to deliver
the declaration of independence
to
the social media shitstew.
cazalla: mod6, i just checked, it didn't go out, i'm guessing
the auto feed
thing didn't catch it after i changed it from sgornick's account
to mine
mod6: cazalla: huh. ok. didn't see
that one in
the list. maybe i missed it?
decimation: I imagine
this is pretty much how
the soviet government worked
too
decimation: pretend
things are swell, shoot any messengers
that say otherwise, rotate
to a 'diversity
tour' before mistakes are obvious
decimation: this is generally standard usg management practice as far as I can
tell
decimation: of course,
the reason: "A string of investigations concluded
that
the nuclear corps had lost its "zero defect" culture. In response,
the Air Force launched a program
to "sustain, modernize, and recapitalize its nuclear capability." What
that meant in practice, Aaron says, was punishing
the rank and file for past mistakes while
the colonels swept
the bigger problems under
the rug."
