WolfGoethe: not many who can
think on your lvl in
the scene, from what I recall
WolfGoethe: I do want
to
think
tacticall with you
tho
WolfGoethe: not ready
to have a chat about
the nature of consciousness right now
mircea_popescu: this is like saying, "i have a computer, it is my duty
to generate random strings and publish
them"
WolfGoethe: I code web mostly. many platforms. had a few startups. did
the napster of Ringtones in 2000. and a few social networking sites. and now working on some bitcoin stuff.
☟︎ WolfGoethe: I was bron human,
this it is my duty
to
think.. very unamerican I know lol
WolfGoethe: the best chance we have now
to close
the circle is
to focus on retail adoption me
thinks
WolfGoethe: I'm no expert but I am
trying
to
think deeply
WolfGoethe: I welcome any reading resources you have. I've gone
thru mullins works, griffths works, "history of money by jack weatherford" was also awesome. and several books on europe in
the 30;s
assbot: Closing
the Circle | EasyBitz Blog
WolfGoethe: this is what
they fear most as is evident by
the case of
the 13 colonies
WolfGoethe: once bitcoin "closes
the circle"
then it shall be a
true competitor
to
the usd
WolfGoethe: the goal is
to evolve bitcoin by making
the usd irrelvent
decimation: I suspect by "evolve bitcon" you mean "increase
the usd price"
mircea_popescu: so
then.
the price
tanked
temporarily because
the usg
tried, and failed,
to kill it.
WolfGoethe: they shall continue
to
tax
the people with inflation
thru
the control of
the volume of funds
assbot: Law of Jante - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
assbot: The USG wasted another hundred million dollars it previously stole from average, hard working US citizens. Nobody cares. pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
WolfGoethe: I have been discussing with many folks why
the price is
tanking. it seems quite natural considering
that btc is more of an asset
than a currency... merchants are covnerting right
to fiat and
thus putting sell pressure on
the exchanges
decimation: in
that slatestarcodex post, nyrwracu calls
this
the 'law of Jante'
WolfGoethe: Why do you all
think
the price is so low?
decimation: well except
the kernel exposes
that stuff in /proc or whatever
decimation: this seems like a nonsolution
to a non problem
decimation: asciilifeform: I should have known
that lennart was behind
that
WolfGoethe: how bout we just start
thinking ahead first
BingoBoingo: WolfGoethe: Well doubling
the blocksize every year for
two decades is probably a problematic plan
WolfGoethe: we need
to "close
the circle" like
the 13 colonies did. need a 20 year plan at least
BingoBoingo: Of course, also better immune systems
than manuls
typically have.
WolfGoethe: What is
the most vital
thing we must focus on now as a community ?
thestringpuller: that was enlightening
tho. i now can view socialism from a different light.
ty mircea_popescu
thestringpuller: it makes everyone feel good, and
that
they are doing
the right
thing
though.
mircea_popescu: well like
the saying goes, you can't stay socialist for long, it's
the ideology of stupid.
thestringpuller: They shed
their libertard skin it seems and a new generation of derps picked it up.
thestringpuller: Ironically all
the hippies from days of old are either dead or wearing suits
these days.
mircea_popescu: i dun blame anyone. i'm more into hangings
than into blamings.
mircea_popescu: so you can't make fun of
the one guy,
the one guy doesn't exist.
mircea_popescu: but black people don't have
that.
they have no souls, in
the libertard's view.
mircea_popescu: yeah. because italians may be people. like, individuals. so you make fun of
that italian.
thestringpuller: You point out negro's like fried chicken and it's racist. Hmmm...the plot
thickens.
mircea_popescu: well, kinda worse
than
that. you don't give
them a little change, you insist and repeat
that
they gotta get a little change.
thestringpuller: you give
them a litle change, and
they'll just ask for more
assbot: Fried chicken pe

mircea_popescu: and it's nothing short of insulting, not just
to "those people" in quuestion, but
to people everywhere.
mircea_popescu: if you compare how you
treat your pets and how
the average liberal intends
to
treat "those people" you get a scary identity.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller
the shameful secret at
the root of all liberal ideology is
the plain notion
that "those niggers" are not really people, and so must be
treated differently from people.
thestringpuller: as
they both affect
the same socioeconomic groups for some reason...
thestringpuller: welfare and segregation spawn from
the same ideology?
that seems reasonable
tho.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller
the problem is
that "the remants of slavery/apartheid/segregation etc." === "liberal ideology"
mircea_popescu: so, you know, free all
the 13 yos
trapped in 28 yo bodies.
thestringpuller: The20YearIRCloud:
those places are such cesspools because of liberal ideology << some of
them are created
through
the antithesis of
that. like
the remnants of slavery/apartheid/segregation etc.
mircea_popescu: every derp derping on "social media" about
the libtard
themes is really a very badly brought up preteen crying for help.
mircea_popescu: the point is
to execute one,
to give
the remaining 9999 some good role models for
their life, and
the limits and structure
they desperately need.
mircea_popescu: and
the point isn't
to execute 10k derps.
to make such a claim is
to bestow qualities upon
them
they never have nor will ever have.
mircea_popescu: decimation
the comparison is really unfair.
the 1000 people had penicillin.
today's africans have
the internet.
decimation: and so
there you go - how would 10,000 poetterings continue
to "code" if linus could execute
them?
decimation: he ruled egypt at
the
turn of
the last century
assbot: Unqualified Reservations: From Cromer
to Romer and back again: colonialism for
the 21st century
decimation: "For example,
to run Egypt - a country of 10 million people,
then - Cromer had about 1000 British civil servants. If you count all
the Western diplomats, development experts, NGOistas, and
the like, for whom
the present parlous state of Egypt provides employment, how many do you get? A lot more
than 1 per 10,000 Egyptians, I suspect. How many Westerners are employed in bandaging and rebandaging
the permanent ulcer of Africa? Um, a
The20YearIRCloud: our 'bad parts' (of columbus) have crime rates 60-100
times higher
than
those areas outside of
them
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i'm kinda zone blind, i
tend
to have more fun in
the "bad" parts of
town
The20YearIRCloud: My county is 80%+ right-wing, and we don't have
those kinds of places
The20YearIRCloud: I'm sure
they're
there,
the problem i have is
that
those places are such cesspools because of liberal ideology
mircea_popescu: if
the worst comes
to worst, he can just make whatever disaster illegal
temporarily.
mircea_popescu: i guess since legal matters so much all planes sohuld be equipped with a congressman
the way old ships were equipped with a priest
The20YearIRCloud: Not
that I wish evil in liberals (They're people
too), but
their mindset sponsors alot of really awful
things
The20YearIRCloud: my only kind of happiness comes in
the liberal douches going
through really bad parts of
town with 'oppressed people'
to only find out
the 'oppressed' hate
them and steal/rob/rape
decimation: as I recall Mr. Yarvin quoted Lord Cromer as saying
that he reckoned he could effectively rule egypt if he could publicly hang one egyptian of his choosing per year
