ColinT: I don't know what that means
ColinT: As long as you don't change the shape of the glass, the gravitational field, etc
mircea_popescu: the major point of difference being that out of the glass, of water or of emotion, one can extract usable entropy. not so from logic, at all.
ColinT: It's a type of reasoning that we do subconsciously in order to guide our actions in the world - it's implications go beyond hot stoves though
ColinT: If we didn't feel pain when we put our hands on a hot stove - that would be a problem
chetty: I think there are some hormones in taht mix ..
ColinT: So they are computed yes
mircea_popescu: but no, emotion ain't no type o' logic i ever heard of.
mircea_popescu: <ColinT> I'm not someone who thinks rationally in groups - because groups of people don't think rationally << depends on the group.
chetty: well the odd thought flow here tends to but unusal ideas next to each opther, produces some very interesting results
ColinT: Emotion is still a type of logic
ColinT: Logical thinking is over-rated? ;D
pete_dushenski: so we do come to some pretty intelligent conclusions
ColinT: What is this some kind of cult?
pete_dushenski: well, the people here aren't just "humans," we're full fledged people
ColinT: I'm not someone who thinks rationally in groups - because groups of people don't think rationally
chetty: ColinT, this group, if you can call it that never seems to reach conclusions, just send all away with more homework
ColinT: I'm not sure humans are the greatest at coming to intelligent conclusions in groups
chetty: sadly this sort of outrage is showing up daily
pete_dushenski: ColinT: research sounds too solitary
pete_dushenski: chetty: An English blogger writing for the Nomen Global Language Center in Utah was fired for posting about ?homophones? last week after his employer said the word was too close to ?homosexual? and ?homophobe.? << holy sweet mother of retardistan

pete_dushenski: i started reading the logs daily in december 2013
pete_dushenski: yup, it's pretty much been 6 months since i dropped down here, so right on track as per http://contravex.com/2014/03/17/irc-yeshiva/
pete_dushenski: need more skillz and knowledge for that. so here i am, sponging it up

ColinT: I set it to join at some point - never really chatted in here though
pete_dushenski: your first time?
xanthyos: why would a computer run that emulation when it seems so inefficient
The20YearIRCloud: The sentient computer systems set up to emulate foreigner behavior makes said maps
xanthyos: google earth is the proof
The20YearIRCloud: I have never been outside of the United States, therefore it can't be prove that other countries do exist.
xanthyos: i tried to make homeopathic OJ by diluting it. it's just too sweet
The20YearIRCloud: i have a theory that everyone on the internet is a computer designed to interact with me. The reality is there was a global war 40 years ago that went nuclear, all countries do not exist, the US is the only one left
justusranvier: There are people who sell higher than 30C dilutions
xanthyos: so 10^60 is 37 orders of magnitude less concentrated than that
xanthyos: homeopathy doesn't require any molecules of the original solution to remain. the theory is that it changes the resonance of surrounding water molecules in the same way that ice-nine worked in kurt vonnegut's "cat's cradle"
mircea_popescu: but yeah, i suppose it's a good proof they don't grok objective reality.
justusranvier: Exactly. That's why homeopathy is a scam
mircea_popescu: even that's iffy.
mircea_popescu: there's not an infinity of molecules in that solution
justusranvier: a 30C solution is duluted to 1x10^-300 of its original value
mircea_popescu: how's one to drink stuff at 50 degrees ?
justusranvier: "If you're bleeding through your nose, use a 30 C dillution, if it gets worse and you start bleeding from your eyeballs, then increase the dilution to 50C!"
justusranvier: No, they inventing fake remedies from massively dilluted rattlesnake venom and selling them.
mircea_popescu: justusranvier what, they're going to africa to treat ebola through hidration ?
pete_dushenski: helps with the sleeps
pete_dushenski: … if i wasn't addicted to ice cream and ate a tub every single night
mircea_popescu: jesus this is like... the perfect excuse, isn't it ? "i can only imagine how productive i'd be if". har har.
mircea_popescu: "I can only imagine what a productive member of civilization i would be IF i was brought up with masculine values and was sexually sated. Instead i spent my life living out the following tale trying to figure out what my problem was and living as a manic bipolar depressive. Instead here i sit, a MGTOW, never finding enough reason or desire to become productive beyond my own means."
justusranvier: So that tweet yesterday was apparently a bad idea. It just encourages them: http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2014/08/01/homeopaths-and-ebola-virus-hemorrhagic-fever/
mircea_popescu: i don't recall that cutscene in diablo.

mircea_popescu: everyone got his own little ideographics and i need a dictionary to wade through the sad produce of idiots who can't be bothered to learn a language well.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves you may be on to something thar.
pete_dushenski: brings to mind douglas adams' : "Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
mircea_popescu: well canada's only one country on the grounds of there not being enough people in it to pay for two parliaments, amirite ?
thickasthieves: <+mircea_popescu> what the fuck is with these social media people, srsly. they'll take the faintest hint of nothing as clear proof of their importance. //// If it's measurable, it has value!
pete_dushenski: suffice to say that nubbins` and i are 6,000km away from each other, and could be 7-8000 apart and still considered "in the same country"

pete_dushenski: "I as a man, biologically driven365 days a year to ejaculate and produce sperm as often as possible, and having the drive and desire to want it every waning moment, who is villified for this natural urge and made to feel ashamed of my sexuality, control it and subdue it to conform to the feminine imperative…"
