_popescu: if i'd like to bootstrap a thermonuke off your previously mentioned node, do i need whitelisting?
mircea_popescu: ag3nt
_zer0 you familiar with the fantabulous history of the gauss copula ?
ag3nt_zer0: mircea
_popescu: thanks for the response... I am confused about this: "and the fundamentally flawed proposition that for this reason, it is more important to interpret phenomena through history than through any other lens." -is this how traditionalist discourse treat phenomena? exclusively historically? and also: you say taleb can provide a damaging critique of traditionalism? May I kindly ask, whose? What authors/thinkers
mircea_popescu: ag3nt
_zer0 the entire thing started with the absolutely correct observation that words have i nfact no meanings, not anymore than any one website has google pagerank. a theoretical model was proposed where meaning of all words is produced through iteration, exactly in the same manner pr is calculated (and this is why google used to be notable - it implemented a major tenet of culture at the time)
ag3nt_zer0: mircea
_popescu: yeah ok, after looking up structuralism, I was just hung up on the idea that if humanism is constructed on erroneous principles, and is structuralism is a reaction to humanism... then its just doubly wayward...

_zer0: trinque: well I had no idea what structuralism was but read something by mircer
_popescu and at the end he said "welcome to the post-post- structuralist world that the internet has enabled" or something to that effect... that got me looking at structuralisma dn post structuralism and I was just confused because what I read was that structuralism was a reaction against humanism -and- tradition,, but as far
mod6: (have been having to add `#define
__STDC
_LIMIT
_MACROS \ #include <stdint.h>` to the start of net.cpp, util.cpp, and wallet.cpp for some bizzare reason)
ag3nt_zer0: mircea
_popescu: yes some, not enough, far from done...
ag3nt_zer0: mircea
_popescu: yeah i am looking for alternatives that's why I asked about btc and ed... is this question a simple "where does the trust lie?"... btw you know those cuddle-puddle poddies they have all the students arranged in now? You know, the ingenious design that promotes cheating and distraction and love? Those are fucking MANDATORY in some districts... teachers couldn't sit them all facing forward if they wanted

_popescu: everytime you shoot this nigga in the head he comes back to fucking life.

_zer0: so, if structuralism and post-structuralism are reactions against "traditional" humanism, and "tradition" in general (which seems untenable given that I see Traditonal metaphysics as opposed to humanism), would post-post-structuralism be pro-traditionalism to some degree?
mircea_popescu: ag3nt
_zer0 ironically enough, im sure teaching will be fine. schools tho... hard to say.

_vulpes it would by the very fact of connecting. shows you its ip

_field: which is, i suppose, as it should be. but means that: we need seeds.
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 19:07:07; ascii
_field: i will remind readers that 'irc on butcher block' means a 100% reliance on seeds we enter in config. and also on specifying node's external ipv4.
trinque: ag3nt
_zer0: having read the foreward, looks interesting; I'll probably have it read in a few days
ben_vulpes: <mircea
_popescu> so maybe the "doesn't work" vs "worked 3 days ago" is simply that you ran yours for a day and ben
_vulpes ran his for fifteen minutes. << it just strikes me as unlikely that a node is going to connect to precisely the room i'm in and then bless me with a usable IP addr
trinque: ag3nt
_zer0: thanks, I'll put it in my queue to read
trinque: ag3nt
_zer0: more pointedly, I tend to assume that where someone makes broad generalizations about "being", they've actually given me a command
trinque: ag3nt
_zer0: I see roughly what you're pointing at; what do you make of it?
trinque: ag3nt
_zer0: how do you define traditionalism?
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: well I had no idea what structuralism was but read something by mircer
_popescu and at the end he said "welcome to the post-post- structuralist world that the internet has enabled" or something to that effect... that got me looking at structuralisma dn post structuralism and I was just confused because what I read was that structuralism was a reaction against humanism -and- tradition,, but as far as i understand,
☟︎ trinque: ag3nt
_zer0: structuralism smacks of "that stolen-from is not your stolen-from; it's all of ours"

mircea_popescu: ascii
_field this goes right into our discussion about how the only reason lisp is ok where c is shot is that the hordes haven't sat on lisp but on c, would have been the other way around if they had sat the other way.

_field well i plan to shoot a few schmucks first. so just as soon as they can line up enough schmucks willing to be shot.
ascii_field: so when will mircea
_popescu be getting on the u.s. prison plane ?
mircea_popescu: ascii
_field but to round it off : i am unimpressed with that utter fear of all usian pencildicks, "omg prison". seriously, lifetime pension ? tyvm. i am also unimpressed with the "difficulties" of "orcs" aka niggers in the us. i have never had a problem making sense of them or the reverse. and THIS is why i say the flight to suburbus is a purely sexual problem.
