mircea_popescu: i propose a new highschool charter. it
teaches kids nothing, but smacks
them every
time
they use "going
to"
decimation: one would need iron balls
to do it I guess
thestringpuller: there is a lot
to stop you walking from mexico back into
the states
tho...
decimation: yeah I suspect walking
to mexico is easier
than
the reverse
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform people's own dumb heads do
the guarding.
mircea_popescu: but i follow
the link. huge
title "Bitcoin will be partially or
totally controlled". ie, by some govt.
assbot: Big numbers, random numbers and who’s got your number ? pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: couldn't one in america escape
through...non
traditional means?
decimation: you can own, you just have
to confess
to usg you have
them
assbot: Galt's Gulch Chile -
To your freedoms
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller well
tbh, i dun see why i'd have wanted
to leave huxley's world. just hang out with
the boss guy down at
the bar.
thestringpuller: it also seems being an orphan is more beneficial in
that regard
too...
thestringpuller: sounds like huxley's world would make
that a moot issue (humans bred in
tanks)
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller
then eiher it's not a family, you're being forced
to or you will be forced
to.
decimation: yes,
their fate is
to stand and
take whatever comes I suppose
mircea_popescu: <decimation> I guess it's hard
to escape with family intact << people with families have no business escaping.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> we can surmise
that he refused one or more, but
they aren't done yet << something like
that.
decimation: I guess it's hard
to escape with family intact
decimation: seems like
that would be
the
thing
to do
decimation: why didn't folks attempt
to leave
the "big jail" during ussr
times?
decimation: an enterprising defense
team would have him start another altcoin for
the purpose of
turning against it
decimation: well I
tend
to agree with your point about recruitment, but it's not clear
to me what he is going
to be recruited
to do exactly.
decimation: "we are coming up
to march 2014, so I've been waiting 3 years
to be sentenced,
this is most unusual. Usually in a federal case you are incarcerated within 60 days after being found guilty."
decimation: well according
to
this interview in miami on 1 feb 2014
decimation: for instance
they haven't managed
to jail
this von nothaus guy yet
mircea_popescu: exactly
the same problems
that limit
the mob limit
the government, and can be used identically.
mircea_popescu: this isn't nearly as cut and dried a matter as
the usg likes
to pretend (forced mistake, it has no alternative
than
to so pretend).
mircea_popescu: perhaps you need your computers, perhaps you need access
to a certain server, who's
to know.
jurov: hm.. i guess when patent
trolls come for cardano,
there are better ways
than seppuku
mircea_popescu: and if you are able
to
talk, who's going
to be able
to control what you say, and
to whom ?
mircea_popescu: well now... here's
the
thing... you can't be
talking while you're not able
to
talk, right ?
mircea_popescu: if
the kingdom actually worked like
teh king's ministers propose it does, i wouldn't be looking into
the yard of
the king's minister's wife at
the car of
the guy
the minister doesn't know she fucks
mircea_popescu: this has some
trouble getting past
things such as you know,
that wikileaks guy.
mircea_popescu: i mean obviously,
the king's ministers, no matter how cornered, will attempt
to put forth
the
theory of how dominant
their kingdom actually is.
decimation: he has magic hacking powers, give him
the a. ames
treatment!
mircea_popescu: try capturing chtulhu. hey everyone! free insanity
today, and all get seconds!
mircea_popescu: no, it's
the "know
the magic incantation
that'll make
them rue
the day
they messed with me so close"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what do you perceive
the difference being, between military and legal ?
mircea_popescu: "Unless you have been
through
this, with much of it kept secret
to protect means and methods of investigation and prosecution, prepare for an exciting first
time on
the actual hot seat, not on
TV or online where hypnotic disinfo rules and seduces
the unwary
to believe
tickling
the comsec
tiger's
tail is fantasic rep building." <<< heh.
mircea_popescu: decimation well if it wants
to be a republic, it gotta be a republic.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> ascii so
the point is
that
the court can dodge questions of "what exactly are you charging me with?" by making a grand-jury circus? <<
the principle is
that "the people" can charge you with w/o
the shit
they want.

they actually sentance him
assbot: ClubOrlov: Financial
Totalitarianism
decimation: speaking of which, whatever happened
to
that guy who was convicted of possessing silver coins?
decimation: ascii so
the point is
that
the court can dodge questions of "what exactly are you charging me with?" by making a grand-jury circus?
decimation: in other words each household needs
to keep its own shit in order
mircea_popescu: he may not be
talking
too much or
too loud\ly about it because of
that shithead ida, and her unwanted, unwelcome and damaging "love", but otherwise...
mircea_popescu: compare
the father with
the son in cat on a hot
tin roof.
that's it.
mircea_popescu: decimation but you see
the signs of decadence much closer
to home :
the moment people start shying away from calling someone a cunt in
the street, because o noes, we're civilised now.
that's it.
mircea_popescu: because
the relative value of
things can't really be fixed.
mircea_popescu: the point is specifically
to be able
to serve everywhere, so
to speak,
mircea_popescu: decimation
the problem is exactly
there : a roman citizen is required
to be part of
the army, even if he could serve
the republic "better" elsewhere.
