asciilifeform: people still cite the german cold weather experiment data.
mircea_popescu: moon landing also tremendous cost to the taxpayer.
mircea_popescu: you only know that retrospectively.
asciilifeform: research is when there is something useful to be learned
cazalla: as retards became an even smaller minority, this shit started popping up as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T549VoLca_Q
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's legitimate researchg tho.
asciilifeform: many other cases of severely brainless are also created artificially - by rescuing 'super' premature infants, for example (at tremendous cost to the taxpayer, even before they enter the welfare system)
mircea_popescu: cazalla hopefully including the right to 4.0 gpa ?
cazalla: there are downie groups calling for downie rights too
asciilifeform: specifically the fellow as portrayed in the film '300 spartans'
asciilifeform: i like to refer to these folks as 'elphialtes's army'
asciilifeform: did they win << don't recall, couldn't be bothered
asciilifeform: this kind of thing, in other variants, is pretty big in usa. for instance, pretty much nobody births a down's syndrome case any more other than deliberately.
mircea_popescu: did they win ?
asciilifeform: i vaguely recall a documented case where deaf women sued for the right to 'in vitro' select deaf samples from a set of foeti
mircea_popescu: i guess this is perversely a sign of health.
asciilifeform: 'oh noez they're holocausting us by curing deafness'

mircea_popescu: this was a thing ?
asciilifeform: the original inspiration for the 'mra' folks was possibly the invalid 'community', where the nuttier ones actually thought that, e.g. being legless only sucks because of a 'conspiracy' of the two-legged
mircea_popescu: but yes, it seems you are right : one could doublespend a nlocktime tx after all, making it kinda useless in practice.
asciilifeform: not that they'd have walked sans astrologist.
asciilifeform: 'astrologist said now's a good time to shoot the prisoners.'
asciilifeform: as a kind of decorative slipcover for policy that 'must happen anyway', it works just the same.
asciilifeform: 'believers' tend to make a hash of things.
asciilifeform: precisely this - you don't need one
mircea_popescu: afaik the only one ended up with a pickaxe in his eye socket.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so name a marxist in power in the ussr.
asciilifeform: part of the official catechism
asciilifeform: not entirely unlike the relation of, e.g. marxism to ussr
mircea_popescu: actually, i don't know a single feminist, actual, honest fmeinist in a place of power within the usg. not one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not nearly the same.
mircea_popescu: how is feminism uncomfortable with any of those ?!
thestringpuller: hmm? "nLockTime is a parameter that can be attached to a transaction, that mandates a minimal time (specified in either unix time or block height), that before this time, the transaction cannot be accepted into a block." << i thought this meant that the tx with the nlock cannot be accepted into the block chain until said block heigh has arrived/passed?
mircea_popescu: "The manosphere is not an exclusive club. It will have its dark corners and violent people, like any large movement that protests something. And sexually frustrated beta male rage could just be the dark side of masculinity. It is uncomfortable for MRAs, the way cuckoldry, hypergamy and false accusations are uncomfortable for feminists."
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller once the nlock tx is into the chain, the btc is on the dest address, and that address can't sign a standard tx until the nlock expires
thestringpuller: the benefactor could make a new tx without nlock and send the unspent outputs elsewhere no?
mircea_popescu: lol what sort of bs is this ? what, specifically, can "feminism" do ?
mircea_popescu: "Feminism, on the other hand, has no problem using violence against their ideological enemies’ free speech, men who make lame jokes, men who approach a woman wrong, men who don’t look attractive the next morning, and so on. Of course, this is all violence done by the state, so it’s technically not violence."
thestringpuller: but if the tx with the n-lock is never announced, how would any node know?
mircea_popescu: nah, tx wouldn't be accepted.
thestringpuller: couldn't the benefactor double spend before block height f
thestringpuller: however who is to say benefactor isn't malicious
thestringpuller: and then gives tx to the beneficiary
thestringpuller: so the benefactor signs tx with n lock variable
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure this is possible.
thestringpuller: simple use case: trust fund. guy wants to give someone money in the future, but only wants that person to unlock that transaction at some future block height f
mircea_popescu: there's a nlock variable you can set in any tx
mircea_popescu: it's like knocking a woman up and moving to suburbia to have a perfect ballerina daughter only to end up with a braindamaged kid while the next door neighbour "gets" the ballerina.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many of these various and sundry internet groups are mefiant/angry with bitcoin for the yarvin reason : they poured their energy into a different obscure thing, and what is this bitcoin to succeed exactly the way they had hoped their thing to succeed!
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu do you know about timelocks (in btc txs)?
mircea_popescu: "Feminists like to use the presence of anger and sadness as a sign that the manosphere is a sad, terrible place." << lol yeah, because that's the feminist way : project patriarchy ideas opressing you outward. men should hate themselves for being angry just like we do!!11
mircea_popescu: see if there's more tech geeks than body builders
mircea_popescu: but the actual places where usg enters the system.
mircea_popescu: someone should do a map of the internet. not the bullshit nobody cares about corps like google and pinterest,
mircea_popescu: don't they go to pg's house once each year to eat ramen out of golden bowls ?
mircea_popescu: yeah, what people with money sit around on the internet all day.
benkay: i don't think urban dictionary populators have much contact with trust fund babie.
mircea_popescu: i thought it was supposed to be someone with a trust fund
benkay: hey danielpbarron that's you!

mircea_popescu: pretty much only lol comes to mind.

assbot: MGTOWForums - Shut Down : TheRedPill
mircea_popescu: i wonder if mozart being accused of being so pop-sounding by some goffy teenager in 1781 was nearly as amused
benkay: wait - that's all the log i get?
mircea_popescu: go around do other things, turn back, now it's a hippo.
mircea_popescu: anyway, used to lulz with the girls at this thing a decade ago. back then it was like a sort of you know, bambi
benkay: <mircea_popescu> how the fuck are they going to survive and why would anyone seriously propose living without having meaningful relationships with women ? // dunno man its a joy apparently few american guys en...joy
mircea_popescu: benkay i had no idea teh 2000s pua lulz ended up quite so... berthy.
benkay: mircea_popescu going down the mra rathole
benkay: i *am* the ostracizer.
mircea_popescu: benkay so are you going to end up like ostracized @work and eventually gasenwagen't ?
benkay: <mircea_popescu> benkay incidentally, where do you find them ? // for srs?
mircea_popescu: uh. this is fucking nonsense. for one, why 18, exactly ?! for the other... meh. it's a good time to start training a woman, but doubtless you'll get her anywhere pleasant before late twenties.
mircea_popescu: Try as we may, convincing a woman that her sexual peak lay actually between 18 and 25 is always an effort in debating denial. For all the self-convincing attempts to redefine sexual valuation to the contrary, SMV for women is ultimately decided by Men. Thus this bell curve is intended to represent the sexual value of women based on men’s metrics, not as women (by way of ceaseless social engineering) would like to def
mircea_popescu: jesus god this is like an entire thing isn;'t it.

jborkl: I had over 80 women but that was kinda gross and smelled like mothballs
mircea_popescu: "this one time in between jobs i ended up pushing around crates for this porn firm i nthe valley"
mircea_popescu: "i've driven over six types of cars in my life".
mircea_popescu: i mean... too little to be a lot, too many to be a few, wtf qualification is this.
mircea_popescu: "I’ve had sex with over 40 women in my past, during a time when there was no such thing as formalized Game."
BingoBoingo: Maybe mike_c can use this thing as an intern gauntlet
mircea_popescu: but you know the alpha is in reference to the finance greek
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The Sexual market value bullshit.
assbot: How The UFC's Biggest Show Of The Year Turned Into A Fiasco
mircea_popescu: wait, what the fuck is wrong with people being what they are ?
mircea_popescu: Action: Many of us were fumbling around in the blue-pill wilderness for decades. Why let another poor soul languish in the Matrix to go around getting rejected, orbit around a land whale for years, getting talked into a marriage he doesn't want or need, be brainwashed by feminism to think his purpose in life is to serve a woman or serve society by being a beta-male slave, having his surplus labor siphoned off by women,
mircea_popescu: what's this, like some sort of monastic orders ?
BingoBoingo: -"We're not obsessed with notch-count, we don't define our worth as men in terms of “success” or “approval” by women. Plenty of great men with actual value (AV) don't necessarily have sexual market value (SMV) and don't care. Being a better man happens in “Living the Best Life”."- << Sounds like a job for BtcAlpha
mircea_popescu: how the fuck are they going to survive and why would anyone seriously propose living without having meaningful relationships with women ?
mircea_popescu: ablish/manage FWBs (friends with benefits), this sub-forum is for that.
mircea_popescu: Game: This one sets us apart. Our view is that being MGTOW means downing the 'red pill' and understanding the nature of women. Once you do so, the rest is up to you. It's a perfectly valid option to sit it out, to “ghost” when it comes to women. And it's just as valid to "scratch that itch" with escorts, either at home or abroad. But for guys who, knowing what they know, want to use game to set up plates, date, est
mircea_popescu: Living the Best Life: A big emphasis for us. Talk about: poker nights, video games, travel, lifting, books you're reading, that great anime you watched, sports you're doing, hobbies, philosophy, and on and on.
mircea_popescu: wait. there is A LOT MORE dram
mircea_popescu: At MGTOW Forums, we spent years fighting such fools who were psychos, incels and who vocally supported other places, that I won't mention, over our own. Such people were against us yet we managed to beat them time and time again.
mircea_popescu: For 3 years I've worked to build up MGTOW Forums into a force to be reckoned with, but alas it has failed. It has failed because of the very reasons which brought down the previous MGTOW board: inexperienced idiots who were angry at not being able to get laid - betas, zetas, red pills and the rest of the rubbish.
