frb: a dangerous terrorist organization, apparently
mircea_popescu: i think most people do about the same.
frb: oh, hehe. i'm not new, i idle in here for a long time.
mircea_popescu: frb i generally up new names, see if they're going to say something stupid or not
frb: because if you have questions i can answer them
frb: uh, thanks for the voice, is it because you know i'm admin. of 8chan.co or is it just random mircea_popescu ?
mircea_popescu: and they have this tendency to imagine that pretending about pretending is going to solve all their problems.
mircea_popescu: jurov oddly it said nothing back to me. otr's a fucking mess ;/
mircea_popescu: who is this moolah fucktard anyway ?
mircea_popescu: "I would like to start by saying that in context of the below, my identity is irrelevant. My identity becomes relevant if I break the law, which is something that neither myself nor my employees have done. " herp. "i am resigning. who is 'i' ? don't ask! and take my anon claim at face value as to everything else"
jurov: oh now i see ... an complaint from otr plugin that you sent unencrypted msg :)
bounce: then again, it's not as bad as that. the socialists build their own old boys club and pass cushy jobs back and forth. well-paid jobs "helping" various types of the needy with plenty of taxpayer money. all the elitism, now with extra pretense.
mircea_popescu: i got "* [jurov] is away (Auto away at Thu Oct 16 00:16:03 2014)"
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol: dayum. so has redundant domains like mpx been considered? .co .us .biz, etc << the domains aren't the problem.
jurov: mircea_popescu:i see you sent punkman's 10000 s.bbet shares to coinbr?
bounce: actually, wasn't there already an app for that?
bounce: artificial creaking device for unbreakable beds. kickstarter, take it away!
ben_vulpes: i dunno man i expect my tools to stand up to abuse
ben_vulpes: why should the bed make sounds?
mircea_popescu: bounce what a novel thought that is :p
ben_vulpes: and now the damn thing squeaks abominably during any vigorous motion
bounce: thus we conclude that successful socialism is a good way to bring down society
mircea_popescu: i guess this is what you get when you adapt the schooling to "the needs and capacities" of the students.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to all the failure modes in history prior to that, which resulted from failing to follow the educational paradigm
mircea_popescu: idual, institutional, and societal). " << ironically, they got there by actually FOLLOWING the education system
mircea_popescu: "“Citizens capable of contributing to the development of a sustainable society must first develop empathy. This empathy will be developed through an advanced awareness of oppression and inequity that exists at a local and national level. Students will become aware of inequities, examine why these inequities exist, understand the concept of institutionalized privilege, and recognize systematized oppression (e.g. indiv
mircea_popescu: meanwhile they multiplied to the degree they're the premier failure mode of the young adult.
mircea_popescu: (and that "back then" time is probably captured in road trip. tom green is the stereotypical libertard, 1990s version)
mircea_popescu: but by now, with half a million of them choking reddit and "social media"...
mircea_popescu: bounce yeah, it worked fine back when there was one of these idiots per university. at 1k unis and 400 seats it was still feasible.
mircea_popescu: more about the minds than the subject matter, i say.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> the notion that anyone's getting signal out of the market ticking up or down is absurd. << you know the interestin thing about humans is, the talented musician/painter/we can transform the brownian motion of the atmosphere into signal.
bounce: should run for senate then, eh.
mircea_popescu: considering how much they spent implanting the nonsense in the skull, it ain't never coming out.
bounce: depends. was there quite a while but left. apparently the spammer doesn't remember.
mircea_popescu: anyway, if it's anything like this dude, it'd basically lesswrong/meatballswiki/somethingawful hivemind. unemployable graduates with fixed if erroneous ideas "about the world" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i think i was there once, but it was tumbleweed city.
ben_vulpes: the notion that anyone's getting signal out of the market ticking up or down is absurd.
moriarty: ben_vulpes, noise is to those who are unable to understand the signal
ben_vulpes: ##econometrics has its moments, but it's mostly people arguing about noise in the signal
bounce: that isn't an answer to the question
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla .de, .fr, early version of gpg keys. hope they can't decode ? :D
kakobrekla: hm, i just emailed instructions for my host in de to my host in fr.
bounce: moriarty: do you have a script messaging everybody in the channel about ##econometrics or something?
ben_vulpes: but touching colored spots (to the tongue) for an excuse to rub together
assbot: Twister (game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
mircea_popescu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twister_(game) << there, retardopedia knows all about it.
mircea_popescu: or w/e that thing is called where teenagers try to touch colored spots in order to have an excuse to rub together
bounce is still groping for the reasons why the ruli^Wpoliticking elite likes it so much
ben_vulpes: humans can't handle statistics. big disaster with 0% likelihood freezes the brain in its place.
mircea_popescu: but i'm rooting for twister being introduced by the tsa
mircea_popescu: it's beyond the inconceivable, for me.
mircea_popescu: it boggles the mind.
mircea_popescu: and "terrorism" is a fantastic driver of behaviour. i have all these reports about adults, ADULTS!!11 mind you, freezing in their tracks because the kindergarten caregiver has said so.
bounce: let's assemble a pop band out of $improbable_ethic roughnecks and float them on the stock market
bounce: well, yeah, "terrism" is keeping our rulers busy but realistically the risk is less than getting raped then murdered by $improbable_ethnic
moriarty: and you don't need to consider meta anything
moriarty: think of perception as inputs to the machine
mircea_popescu: and for the single woman with no contacts, the situation is fucking terrifing. so this guy asked you out. well ?
mircea_popescu: humans are meta machines, the PERCEPTION of the danger is the driver, not the actual danger.
bounce: the serial killer statistics are too marginal to really drive this though, so it'd have to be perception or something else. can't be the sole driver.
mircea_popescu: unless it wasn't worth the hassle because her friends did and meh
mircea_popescu: right. and speaking of the victorians, they most definitely didn't have the current highschool/college situation, where pretty much every girl has fucked pretty much every guy,
bounce: well, assuming so, that'd mean they're becoming more independent. less excuse to hide behind a strong man and so on.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] [PAID] 5.15194624 BTC to 1`149`988 shares, 448 satoshi per share
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [HASH] [PAID] 3.75949896 BTC to 144`374 shares, 2604 satoshi per share
mircea_popescu: well you have the excuse you're not an anthropologist, so not really your job to do that anyway.
bounce: eh, can't be arsed to try and make a nice graph out of serial kills / total pop over time
mircea_popescu: at any rate, my argument here is that the very reason "we" are more open about it is because WOMEN are more open about it, and they are more open about it because their safety requires it and they finally figured it out
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 1.16759665 BTC to 16`255 shares, 7183 satoshi per share
bounce: sheesh, that's some tortured english. that's what you get for discussing killing and raping, eh
mircea_popescu: but they had no half'n'half, which from what i hear from other people's wives is the standard fare these days
mircea_popescu: i don't think what they did would meet my definition of fucking, dunno about yours
bounce: right enough about the population growth. and the mores. at the same time we're also opener about having the sex; they still fucked around in victorian england, just everyone pretended it didn't happen in public
mircea_popescu: if you read sexus, half the stuff in there would be prosecuted today, it was all good fun and in the spirit of sportsmanship at the time.
mircea_popescu: even without accounting for the inflation of rape brought through redefinition.
mircea_popescu: if today the average woman fucks 12 men this decade, that's 1.8bn fucks. if you have 15k rapes that
mircea_popescu: if the pop was 100mn in 1944, and the average woman fucked 0.1 men a decade, that's 5mn fucks that decade. if you had 500 rapes that's 100 rpm
mircea_popescu: still, you have sex inflation that's unaccountable.
bounce: dunno. peak of incidence seems to've bean the 80s
mircea_popescu: bounce does it totally blow me away ?
mircea_popescu: recent prices you can query the bots or the jsons. historical gotta talk to someone who has been doing the querying.
wywialm: by the way, how one can obtain historical data of MPEx stocks, as well as the most recent prices?
mircea_popescu: but it's not going to prosper, either.
bounce: not going to happen, that with its vendor lock-in
mircea_popescu: if it gives that up it simply becomes yet another protestantism.
mircea_popescu: wywialm the only notable innovation islam a sa christian sect brings is the hard (and somewhat antiquated) requirement for a certain split of the gender roles.
mircea_popescu: (in the narrow definition that she doesn't go with one, abducions aren't in our universe here)
mircea_popescu: bounce nope. of course not. however, the incidence per sex act is lower, for one, and the woman that cares to think can pretty well avoid them.
wywialm: mircea_popescu, can you elaborate futher on the islam part?
mircea_popescu: this is why we can't be both rich and pure, and this is why islam in its present state has no future.
mircea_popescu: this simple fact : the only solution is a wot, and when most men have fucked most women the serial killers stand out like sore thumbs.
mircea_popescu: this is, incidentally, the true driving force behind the "impropriety" trend, that took skirts from the ankle to the hip and women from no partners to a dozen a decade.
mircea_popescu: to make it plainer, how does a single woman distinguish a suitor from a serial killer ? they both approach her.
mircea_popescu: no doubt in my mind on that score.
mircea_popescu: in fact, making that difference is the absolute best form of charity
gabriel_laddel: the question is, is it useful to differentiate?
mircea_popescu: either that, or just kids are born malicious
bounce: didn't quite follow that, but one might surmise there's a fine line between stupidity and malice
mircea_popescu: "r3wt: alright, did you have coins on OpenEx maybe? r3wt: but anyone here who may have invested in openex or be owed some money, i got you. i got a real job now so i'm on the ascent again"
