mircea_popescu: it's eternaly fascinated, for
the zoologist, what portions of
the human become visible
to
the goats and when.
mircea_popescu: "read some fucking history", ie,
the holy logs, is arguably (at least, from an usg.blue "expert"'s pov)
the ~only innovation we bring.
mircea_popescu: so ... "follow your own mind, irrespective of anything" PLUS "find others like you" creates... well, before
tmsr, it created
the only hot core of creation in
the empire. hence wikipedia, hence reddit, and so on.
mircea_popescu: whereas
the
thing with pedos is
that
they're one step further on
the path -- "we have a BROTHERHOOD". pedophilia in
the modern sense is a deeply communal activity --
the more people jacking off
to
the same videos of beheaded children,
the more sustainable
the activity of beheading childrten.
mircea_popescu: it's one step
towards republican awakening, sure, "use
the fucking noggin". but it's not much by itself.
mircea_popescu: "cool hackers" means jack shit, what is it, kids
trying
to impress schoolmates ? menalone going
their cool way ? what ?
a111: Logged on 2018-05-04 17:15 zx2c4: mircea_popescu: oh. so. "the world doesnt care about
the cool hackers on
the internet, but only
the assholes with prestigious positions."
this has been a widely known complaint for a long
time
mircea_popescu: imo
the proposed
thought process completely explanatory of
the entire menagerie.

The Emperor is Buttnaked (BTC block size discussion with Gavin) ... (

mircea_popescu: speaking of monstrosities like
http://btcbase.org/log/2015-01-31#999165 -- i suppose
the deep driver of
their unhappiness is precisely
this, "1990s pedos made wikipedia seem like it's a big deal, and 2000s pedos made reddit seem like it's a big deal. why can't we 2010s pedos make lesswrong/whatever pedo
trading post seem like it's a big deal ?!!? god only knows we're
the gays of a century ago, god-gifted with
the only creativ
☝︎ mircea_popescu: sadly what he
thought was
the republic was
the previous decade's reddit, "outgrowth of a pedo picture
trading club"
mircea_popescu: he wanted
to use his skill
to help what he
thought was
the republic flourish.
mircea_popescu: the log as it is is
the log as it is is
the log, as it is.
mircea_popescu: because we've actually and for once "moved beyond
that"
mircea_popescu: but see,
THIS is why no old world encyclopedia no more.
mircea_popescu: problem with logs or en
trilema is
that is not yet finished.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform now
thing for a moment --- "random day of logs". suddenly...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but WHAT actual encyclopedia ? no actual men did no actual
things in 70 years!
mircea_popescu: separated from
the jews "doing great business
together",
the paintings accidentally destroyed by laundry women go back
to
their proper fishwrapping value.
mircea_popescu: which is eerily similar
to what
these shits ever sell on an open market, be it myspace, slashdot, or whatever else.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and if
the latter was wortth maybe a few mn all
told,
the ENTREI instagram ~culture~ (again -- not just
the site) is barely worth 10k.
mircea_popescu: aaanyways, i will go on
the record
to say
that
the ENTIRE instagram ~culture~, which includes
the website,
the "content creators",
the clones,
the conference circlejerk and everything else is an inferior replacement of 90s merkley???
mircea_popescu: the original reason encyclopedists were even a
thing, in
the 1800s, was
that
their product ~was worth reading~ in all cases.
the ~entire use of an encyclopedia is for kids
to open it randomly and read interesting
things regardless.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-13 16:54 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: about a decade ago, i bought, on a lark, a keychain
thing
that claimed
to contain all of
the
text of
the
then-pediwikia, and had 'random' button. ~99+% of presses of
this button, resulted in 'flyshit, montana'-type nowhere-village article.
mircea_popescu: you know
there's women out
there, going
through every single endless warehouse, feeling between
thumb and index every single item of clothing ? years on end like
this, never found anything yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform precisely. and
this supposedly "nascent" culture in our colonies died before it even fucking begun, drowned in
this ever-giving gift of consumerism.
mircea_popescu: "i'm gay" "why ?" "because okcupid sucks and if i ask someone out at work
they'll arrest me"
mircea_popescu: but as
they're few and far between, well... "transsexuals".
mircea_popescu: if EVERY woman were in fact worth
talking
to, much more people could enjoy one.
mircea_popescu: as it stands right now, i and i alone, with
the
thin sliver of others who presumably exist and presumably can afford
to sift
through millions of fetlife
tards can afford women.
mircea_popescu: the fact
that ~every~ item you look at will
turn out
to have been ~worth~ looking at is overpowering -- because it makes a life of
the mind accessible
to much more people.

there is no, strictly speaking, reason
that iron MUST be provided on
the surface of a planet just like
the earth. it ~could~, very well, have simply gone
through a place poor in planetoids and ended up entirely iron free on
the surface. but it did not.
mircea_popescu: guy was pretty good, yeah. moreover, and importantly -- while his best always was over instagram's best, his EVERY ITEM was always above
threshold. whereas instagram's AVERAGE item is always below
threshold.

thank you for investigation, i've gotten as far myself.
there's an implicit global isystem
that gets placed ahead of whatever isystem's you pass on command line. i've
tried a variety of flags (e.g. --nostdinc), but didn't find
the right combination yet. (the other way
to discover it instead of using strace is
to run
the cpp -v command instead with most of
the same arguments)
a111: Logged on 2018-09-23 20:53 mircea_popescu: also meanwhile in
http://trilema.com/2009/il-stiti-pe-merkley/ : dood's still active (mostly, doing music now). and also @merkley "If you don't hate who I hate
then you are hateful and I hate you." -
Twitter 2018
mircea_popescu: somehow instagram doesn't feel obligated
to always prefix anything
they do or say with "you know, we're
the shitty merkley??? clone"
though.
mircea_popescu: dude was in point of fact doing
the whole instagram scene, by himself, AND BETTER, a decade earlier.
mircea_popescu:
https://threequestionmarks.com/the-photo-thing%3F%3F%3F << pretty great fucking sendoff,
too. "Merkley??? spent a little over a decade with photoshop, naked people, pets and groceries and
this is part of what came of it all. When
the Kardashians and instagram hit
the scene, he sorta lost interest in superficial physical beauty. I
think you know what
that's all about."
mod6: ben_vulpes: plz
to bring back mimi
to #pizarro for logging
mod6: jurov: plz
to check and see if my msg
to
the ML is stuck in
the pipes.
thanks in advance.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the key's not "lift finger
to build", but rather "alter design on basis of reports from builders".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very insidious,
this "you can imagine a world for yourself
to live in". will
take just as much as you got
to give. i suppose it should be
the fourth rider of apocalypse -- junkies, pleabargains, husbands and
tulpas.
mircea_popescu: ave1 entirely poissible
trinque 's right, ~random order.
ave1: I'll
then have
to check how gcc sorts
the -isystem arguments
ave1: I'll work on a fix
