the scammers in

decimation: asciilifeform: yeah most folks don't realize
the limitations of adc's, especially when it comes
to dynamic range issues
decimation: asciilifeform: I would agree
that nothing quite replaces
that "temporary storage" of phosphor fading slowly
BingoBoingo: "Next, Golubic contacted Sony/BMG Latin, one of
the few American labels
that produces narcocorridos,and
the label offered one of its up-and-coming acts, Les Cuates deSinaloa."
decimation: asciilifeform: lol I'm not sure
that old crt o-scope could be put
to much better use
mircea_popescu: decimation i bet you he had
this microscope nails
thing in his head.
mircea_popescu: because if it's not illegal,
they'll all get impregnated aged 16
mircea_popescu: but whether it's legal or illegal doesn't decide whether
they queue up for it
mircea_popescu: but i don't believe you'll ever be able
to run a place where drugs (the actual sort) are legal, for purely economic reasons.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not saying
this is grounds
to make anything legal or illegal, obviously.
mircea_popescu: somehow it's conveniently forgotten
that einstein's general revolution was based on laboratory data
decimation: "on
the basis of holy data" << oglaf's princeling is searching for holy data
to generalize upon as well :)
mircea_popescu: decimation
the point is valid,
there's relatively little useful stuff
these singers/songwriters can do.
decimation: to me, if one is going
to improve on
the "only in general"
then one is going
to have
to better
than Kant, Kierkegaard, Spinoza, Leibniz, etc.
mircea_popescu: because somehow
they've decided "data" is a substance, it's no longer fit for
the
thinking man
to generate data, and so no more of
things like
the excellent field reports people like saussure and levi-strauss dedicated
their lives
to
mircea_popescu: decimation people got hacked lately with
this "only
the general is important" rootkit. it meshes well with
the divinsation of data-in-se
assbot: How did a scary Mexican gangsta-rap group end up on one of
TV's hottest shows? |

mircea_popescu: just like acid isn't a good adjuvant
to latent paranoia.
mircea_popescu: it's part of
that undiscrimination mentioned earlier. it seems
to particularly empower any ocd streak you may have.
decimation: mircea_popescu: yeah
there's banality and
there's also constant generalization. I realize he's
trying
to write generally, but it comes close
to old-man ranting
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's valid. a) erdos doesn't get his guidance from youtube ; b) most people
taking it will scrub.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
there are guys
that
thing all ages should be legal.
ThickAsThieves: there are
the guys
that
think all drugs should be legal
mircea_popescu: decimation so
taleb's mistake is
that he's being a BANAL asshole ?
decimation: mircea_popescu: you have a different writing style. you don't set off
the 'derp' alarm, you set off
the 'wait, wtf is he on about' alarm, which generally results in an interpretation excercise
mircea_popescu: wasn't
this
the poster for medical pot ? it helps fibromyalgia ?
mircea_popescu: who, notably, has a lot more grounds
than me
to be all "fu world y u don't respek!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cause i was
thinking, i prolly do more of it
than poor
taleb.
mircea_popescu: looks like genetic on
that basis. you gotta be really unlucky as a guy
ThickAsThieves: it's for people who beat up
their bodies and are susceptible
to it, i'm guessing
mircea_popescu: <decimation> asciilifeform: "it pattern-matches 'derp' and
throws my concentration" << yeah I have
the same experience. << does
this happen with my stuff
too ?
mircea_popescu: decimation
they're self prescribed by doctors working
the us meatgrinder for sure.
decimation: asciilifeform: "it pattern-matches 'derp' and
throws my concentration" << yeah I have
the same experience.
decimation: I
think methamphetamines are still prescribed for military pilots who need
to 'remain alert' for days at a
time
BingoBoingo: The recreational
term I
think is "speedballing"
BingoBoingo: Including just enough for some analgesia masks side effects of
the amphetamine activating all kinds of catecholamine receptors it wasn't intended
to
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> undiscriminatory ? << Hits receptors without much regard for location in
the body
assbot: D-IX - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm
thinking of
the one
that rolled
the meth
together with an opiate, and maybe a few other
things

BingoBoingo: Well now
there's options like methylphenidate, modafinil, and all sorts of other imposters

today., well yes even
today, what's changed ?
