TheNewDeal: dimsler, despite the disagreement on who are Enlightment thinkers, this video has been six sigmas above the average quality of youtube content

assbot: Logged on 07-07-2014 10:46:38; mircea_popescu: well... the gulag wasn't avoidable, not practically.
decimation: you wrote about how those who went to the gulag were volunteers (or volunteered) by people who wanted to be somebodies
mircea_popescu: decimation im sure i still have them, somewhere. i dun recall this discussion tho.
TheNewDeal: dimsler, are marx and freud considered enlightenment thinkers to you?
decimation: mircea made some good points on this subject but I think the logs were lost
decimation: in pratice, anyone who was 'volunteered' to go to the gulag by someone who wanted to 'prove' how powerful they were
mircea_popescu: in the original case, the "workers" and their "party"
mircea_popescu: the term means to pose a threat to the delusions of sovereignity of one less powerful.
Dimsler: the term means to sabotage a political insititue
decimation: "wrecker", but hearkening back to RSFSR penal codes that allow anyone to be jailed because they were found to be thwarting the great leader's plans
decimation: I like the "recklessly" in quotes, because they really wanted to say вредительство

mircea_popescu: it'll try both, fail both, and that's that.
mircea_popescu: it's choice is to start sucking cock or try a totalitarian state play.
decimation: its choice is to either renig or go broke, it's that simple
mircea_popescu: and there's no court in the world that can absolve it through a bankruptcy. whether they try to run one or not. kinda the fundamental reason it ended.
decimation: yes, the evidence for that statement is quite strong
mircea_popescu: decimation all that really matters is that the us has underwritten liabilities that exceed its ability to pay.
decimation: it's safe to say that usg has a present liability of at least all assets in the entire world, possibly more
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Coinfire is this site that was promising for a week and a half then turned full derp
decimation: but it's also impossible to account for the dollar at all

mircea_popescu: decimation something like that.
assbot: LibreSSL: More Than 30 Days Later
BingoBoingo: Also LibreSSL update for the interested http://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2014-libressl.html
decimation: so I was listened to this podcast: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2014/01/laurence_kotlik.html << this guy is an "economist" who says that if you total all the present liabilities of usg, they total to $205 trillion

mircea_popescu: cazalla BingoBoingo has it i think. just don't try and run "teams" you'll be fine.
BingoBoingo: cazalla: I'd be up for some story authoring, contributing to the cause. The too many chefs problem isn't about having too many people so much as a shitty heirarchy.

cazalla: i would want to run something like that by myself at first and bring people in later, too many chefs and all that

kakobrekla: go ahead and try then
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo to add salt to the cuts you can do a weekly roundup and mock their unpublishable shit.
mircea_popescu: and it'll be a fine thing too. hurting stuff like coindesk is worth it just on that basis alone.

mircea_popescu: and it's unfortunate, too, because all that was easily avoidable.
Vexual: ive got a good title
mircea_popescu: which is what i mean. no movements like that. you run into management problems, come here and ask.
mircea_popescu: his attempts are so naive and idiotic it pains. definitely sunk the modicum of credibility he had amassed within two weeks.
