mircea_popescu: kanzure yes, the chinese fortune cookie see ? include the blessing with the meal. "by order of our most supreme government, you are obligated and alloweds to eat this"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform arguably the "world of plenty" "boundless bounty of this is our land" is one kind of nativist ; whereas assignats more of a frenchypoof thing.
mircea_popescu: lol. finally, 3d printing on biological material that matters! USE EXPANDED RICE!
mircea_popescu: at the risk of splitting hairs, that's possibly a different strand of the same coli.
mircea_popescu: (the systemic shock then was the europeans, not the chinese, taking their gold back home. the us survived that one.)
mircea_popescu: i talked of it a little somewhere, it's very amusingly similar
mircea_popescu: anyway, amusingly enough that exact outlook, 'world of plenty', 'infinite resources', 'as soon said as done', 'just needs to be managed and komyoonitiorganized' resulted in the panic of 1837.
mircea_popescu: nobody thought himself a hero for being at verdun. more like an idiot, really.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform always how this happens. it wasn't the generatio nthat slept in cow dung under the biting western wind that thought cowboy is tough guy
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, linked in my last. talk about premonitory.
mircea_popescu: this is always an unfair comparison for the esltards, because all other languages being spoken by man over time have built in ridiculous protectors.
mircea_popescu: there was a lot of the nonsense floating about, esp cca 1940s and 50s. back when they belieft.
mircea_popescu: which is why the fuck "exercise is healthy" in the first place.
mircea_popescu: ie, when people who are out of shape get the fuck back in shape, it is THESE ORGANS that expand first, and most.
mircea_popescu: anyway. in my admittedly pedestrian clinical experience, it was NEVER the myokines that limit muscle mass. it's always kidney clearance, lung efficiency and liver capacity for glycogenesis in this order.
mircea_popescu: yeah, and if they grow enough they'll push your eyes ouyt.
mircea_popescu: sane person would have stopped there. "this risk can not be avoided ; abandon du travail"
mircea_popescu: lol "while this risk can not be avoided entirely... here's how im not giving up".
mircea_popescu: kanzure i lean on people all the damned time, what are you talking about.
mircea_popescu: actually part of republican doctrine, there's no standard policies in all sorts of shocking places.
mircea_popescu: funny you should mention that, there's also a discussion re rng and power in teh logs.
mircea_popescu: and the bad notation makes you go into walls, as per "since it's power it must have goal"
mircea_popescu: power is a misnomer in any case ; it's arche as in greek not power as in latin.
mircea_popescu: there's some work in the log re creating mechanical-mp, but mostly at the lulz stage.
mircea_popescu: because the political power is a super-2 exponential on smarts, whereas cost is a logarithmic on stupidity, it's very easy to be powerful hanging out with smart people. almost as easy as it is to go bankrupt hanging out with many people.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, in practical terms i am politically powerful because i've successfully protected a bunch of smart people from idiocy for years, and they have the (pewrhaps unwarranted) expectation this may continue.
mircea_popescu: you're more than welcome to go again, but you'll need a decent definition of effort and some sort of proof it's directable.
mircea_popescu: i was not arguing at you. we were examining your model together, and it came out unconvincing, and then we were left trying to make something of the pieces.
mircea_popescu: also funny, if not funnier : apparently nature very much favours the republican outlook. "divide teh people into two groups. blender one for the choline, vx the other."
mircea_popescu: kanzure the trying to figure it out, no. the expecting i'll justify myself, yes.
mircea_popescu: kanzure calling something "philosophicval wankery" is a political act, no different from saying niggers dun belong in civilised society.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im strictly going by the above "woman will do anything you wanrt provided it is what she ewas goping to do anyway". afaik, spiders do actually make variants of it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (speaking of which... if what you want is in the vein of yl-cholinesterase, maybe try engineering spiders ?
mircea_popescu: there's no great advantage for "a flying stegosaurus with poisonous spines on every bone!!" sorta videogame items.
mircea_popescu: you can get bacteria to do anything you want them to ; provided you want them to do something they were going to do already. gotta be a metabolic leftover.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no i know. the problem with dna amplification with it is that (on tech i recalled) the required enzyme gets periodically destroyed.
mircea_popescu: ahahahaha wait, they switched to termophillic bacteria polymerase ?! god help us.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how does it go around you know, polymerase getting destroyed ?
mircea_popescu: shit i wish we thought of this in the early days of "fpga mining".
mircea_popescu: phf the more amusing thing here is that only last week i was wondering where the 3d printing folk went.
mircea_popescu: yes but unless you make falsifiable statements of value it's not very useful.
mircea_popescu: so far it's not altogether clear what specirfically you're arguing for tbh.
mircea_popescu: kanzure " Obviously there is no possiblity of meaning outside of a structure of authority, and the authority can not be predicated on the meaning."
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: take a more productive tack, like say something concrete.
mircea_popescu: well, actually, i'm the authority here, definitionally what i'm saying can't be babbling. you've upgraded your argument from "your intel is broken" to tmsr dun werk, it's a very dubious trek.
mircea_popescu: kanzure appreciate what you're saying here. "mp, you're spending millions to get bad intel". rly ?
mircea_popescu: it's not that it's not feasible, it's that stretching your anus to accomodate trains is more feasible.
mircea_popescu: kanzure i doubt there's much confusion re feasibility.
mircea_popescu: in my view it worked superbly -- it made britney spears the LAST of these "stars" build out of mob spending power.
mircea_popescu: patreon, gofundme or whatever. i forget what they're all called, angel list something.
