a111: Logged on 2018-09-10 15:27 mircea_popescu: but i seriously do not see the need for a "web" to support this nonsense. they'd be much better served by a single pravda.

a111: Logged on 2017-11-14 21:23 mircea_popescu: same way the same exact item opened cannon fire at the "taxpayers" from atop the walls of oxford.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-14 23:05 mircea_popescu: and existence is predicated on intelligence, and mit never had one. it's just a humongous pile of printed dollars, the us-style equivalent of the chinese "sovereign funds".

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: by the 'to your eyes' standard -- i dun think i own any artifacts that work to any other standard. even cement block -- we do not presently know precisely why cement hardens. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the strugatsky brothers, before sinking into senile delirium, had a tale 'roadside picnic', where unknown aliens land and leave buncha rubbish behind, and immediately depart. the rubbish includes 'usefuls', such as 'eternal batteries', but also various deadlies, and plenty of things 'in between', and earthling culture is rearranged by it. ☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: by all appearances the 'free men on free soil' folx are http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-10#1849132 -stupid. without (to date) any detectable exceptions. ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the name sounds familiar, but i think the bulk of him happened before asciilifeform tuned in
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu had a piece where 'usg.college victim, thoroughly hollowed out, incapable of discussing subj , because he perceives that he ~is college~' or how did it go
asciilifeform: ( then again iirc there was a mircea_popescu thread where explained that these dun use trng at all, as matter of principle )
