rybro: all i can
think of is susan korman and
that pink ribbon breast cancer
thing
mircea_popescu: a point established by considering
that one has
to reason
to discover
the good, whereas one just "feels"
the nice. which approach is exactly why nice rather
than good, why all
that intellectual effort
BlueMeanie4: what's more, my praxis in life is
taking away
the capital and
the franchise of you lot.< we also have another phrase , getting 'Gypped'
mircea_popescu: good is a matter of reason at least
to some degree. nice is pure sensata crapolade.
mircea_popescu: what's more, my praxis in life is
taking away
the capital and
the franchise of you lot.
mircea_popescu: antonosika my philosophy in life is
that all ills arise from people like you having any money and any voice, basically.
rybro: everyone is
too brainwashed
to have principles anyway
assbot: Return-path: <dominik.zynis@gmail.com> Envelope-to: office@ Delivery-date:

rybro: total logical fallacy man, unless you define what 'good' people are for all parties involved
there are definitely going
to be differences in opinion on what a 'good' person is and what a good action is on
their part
mircea_popescu: "nice" people are rarely worth
the price of a decent burial, clothes included, and i very much doubt
they ever should be.
antonosika: Smart people have good values, so If you have a good suggestion of what
to donate my btc
to I would regard you as smarter
mircea_popescu: antonosika
that approach
to business will ensure you'll squander whatever little capital you have.
antonosika: I deposit 3 btc
to you. Isn't it fair
that we decide something nice
that happens with it if
there is a large delay of ETH currency?
mircea_popescu: because
they only claim
to do cool stuff. anyone can claim
to do cool stuff.
rybro: seems like
they do cool stuff by why so shady
antonosika: Ehum I want
to make deals with nice people.
mircea_popescu: i donate
to whatever
the hell i feel like with or without
that contract lol
antonosika: how about you donate
the 3 btc
to something nice if contract fails ?
mircea_popescu: the purpose is
to gain exposure
to eth. you can't have
the exposure without
the exposure.
antonosika: well purpose is
that you buy eth cheaply in one year
though...
antonosika: mircea_popescu: I deem
that ethereum will
trade in 100 btc in one year, but in
the chance
that it does not I have an infinite loss of capital (which is a lot since I dont have much).
assbot: Rota pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 you ever read up on
the fabulous adventure of
teh rota ?
mircea_popescu: antonosika "avoid
the risk of a delay of ethereum
trade" << what;s
this mean ?
antonosika: mircea_popescu:
Thanks for writing
the contract, my
take is
that you see no way of making it possible for me
to avoid waiting
till september 2015 for
the eth and avoid
the risk of a delay of ethereum
trade?
mircea_popescu: ;;rate BlueMeanie4 1 Marx sez : never
trust a capitalist.
mircea_popescu: listen, you got
to get in
the wot if you keep coming by.
BlueMeanie4: not hard
to learn, but
the complex structured instruments are not
that easy
to figure out
BlueMeanie4: the one in
the backside of
the NYSE where hookers hang out?
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 well it doesn't help
that he doesn;'t really know
the common
terminology.
BlueMeanie4: you should
try
to conform
to common
terminology- makes it easier for people
to get invovled
xmj: it doesn't specify
that you have
the right not
to buy said amount of BTC.
BlueMeanie4: 'buy BTC at a preset price in
the future' is an option
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal:
There once was a she named Priscilla << but it'
BlueMeanie4: so an option is
the ABILITY not
the OBLIGATION
to buy
BlueMeanie4: a future is similar, but it delivers
the actual asset and
the price is paid down in full
danielpbarron: i'd be interested in some sort of deal where I buy BTC at
today's price next year
BlueMeanie4: so what kind of contract would you do
then?
danielpbarron: ya, just
type it up and clearsign it with your PGP key; get
the other guy
to sign
that
BingoBoingo: Beautiful kakobrekla, keep us updated if
there is a further reply
danielpbarron: wow, now warriorforum won't let me link
to other people's sites in my signature
BlueMeanie4: dignork Daniel and I were reading
that
this morning
BlueMeanie4: they use
the
term 'webinar'
to make you
think its' something more important
than some lame video someone churned out
BingoBoingo: BlueMeanie4: It's like any other
thing. Most of
them are absolute shit, but occasionally you get one by an actual expert on an actual subject.
There was actually a nice OpenBSD one done by Micheal W. Lucas for O'Reilly
BlueMeanie4: as soon as I see
the word 'webinar' im
turned off
ThickAsThieves: it sure is hard
to book a US flight
that isnt somehow connected
to US Airways sometimes...
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves:
This drug works
the opposite direction, gets converted
to Dopamine in vivo
ThickAsThieves: does it cause superdepression leading
to actors killing
themselves?
jurov: BlueMeanie4 no just noticed you were
trying
jurov: coinroll's just
trying for few days
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron:
tell preston he's not a lost cause
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> ben_vulpes: Is Coinroll
the 3rd Van Customer, or have people other
than Mircea and Myself been buying ads? <<
the former
jurov: Cognitive enhancement could
take place
through collective cognitive ability --
the Internet, for example, and institutional innovations
that enable humans
to function better
together. In
terms of individual cognitive enhancement,
the first
thing likely
to be successful is genetic selection in
the context of in-vitro fertilization. I don't hold out much for cyborgs or implants.
jurov: How
to control superintelligent AI is really
the most important
task of our
time -- yet, it is almost completely ignored.

BlueMeanie4: i
think
this goes back
to ancient
times really, so did
the romans
danielpbarron: in my own experience, it's not worth getting people into Bitcoin
that can't do
these
things
danielpbarron: it should be anyone's
take who has a brain and doesn't like wasting it
danielpbarron: if you can't do
these basic
things
then why are you in Bitcoin?
BlueMeanie4: this system is usable by about 20 people all of
them have PhDs
