mircea_popescu: the whole thing works, intentionally or no, as a fine work of mr o'brien. only a fucking imbecile would imagine that THAT is the book of the insurgency.
BingoBoingo: Best preambulatory clause: "WHEREAS F.DERP issues synthetic equivalents of worthless fiat businesses fraudulently purporting involvement in Bitcoin and exposure to the Bitcoin economy with the irresponsible support of the US propaganda machine as well as the allegedly private investment arm of the US Fed, in order to allow unfettered price discovery for the underlyings in the actual Bitcoin stock market ; "

mircea_popescu: anyway, law as (mis)practiced in the us suffers greatly from a broken application. the legal system exists and is borne out of a wider social system based on hierarchy and personal sovereignity. such as, the classical monarchy.

mircea_popescu: Had Orson Scott Card’s novel Ender’s Game existed then, I might have been one of its biggest fans. I would have been enraptured by the story of the innocent who is persecuted despite his innocence, perhaps even because of it. The superior child whose virtues are not recognized.

These women exist solely to be victimized, so that you can murder the bad guys without any scruple."
