mircea_popescu: courts need to learn the limits of their jurisdiction, preferably.

kakobrekla: why so quick to jump the gun on this while bfl can shit in peoples mouth for years now

kakobrekla: well, its much much harder than atc
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yes, but why would they ? not worth it.
kakobrekla: go ahead and try to attack 'nmc'
ThickAsThieves: all it would take is one btc farm to point at it
mircea_popescu: kinda the original thinking behind central banks at any rate
mircea_popescu: in general the best way to reduce irrational behaviour is to control volatility.
ThickAsThieves: i dont think it could be protected really
mircea_popescu: my own thinking is that if we keep a reasonable floor under it it'll never be productive
mircea_popescu: you don't have to pay anything, unless you're reading a lot of trilema. then it's like i don't recall, .1 cents ?

chetty: wiht 'leaders' like that no wonder world is such a mess

mircea_popescu: and in completely different yet very related news, "The problem, as the president explained it, is that Putin doesn’t understand how the world is supposed to work"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves betas shower the websites, alphas let the girls suggest girls for the club.
chetty: huh? Looks like more of those schools out there, just different rules
ThickAsThieves: i imagine dating in your 30s in 40s these days is pretty much all online websites now?
mircea_popescu: so rare that extant examples are almost fascinating for reason of that rarity.

ozbot: The Last Psychiatrist: The Second Story Of Echo And Narcissus
mircea_popescu: now THIS is self loathing.
mircea_popescu: And the market agrees with me. Alone missed it. Porn is a better product. If girls want to compete maybe they should get real? Virtual honesty v Virtual Deceit? This is economics. No need for hysterics or water works or expressed feelings. Awwh.
mircea_popescu: Emotional poison, lies, some shitty repetitive sex (I'll be more romantic when those who believe in the lie that is exclusivity eat the same meal for the rest of their lives), surrogate services, shitty cooking...It doesn't matter that I'm grossly making crude generalizations. I'm right.
mircea_popescu: Guys lose interest. And women, who hated sex remember (they're not that type of girl), suddenly give the con away. It boils down to this; what are they bringing to the party?
mircea_popescu: It's unfair to quote a 5 year old article but if Alone still believes _that_ analysis has validity...he's missed the forest of leeching for the victimized and disinterested trees. Many women invest their entire lives in what amounts to brazen fraud conducted and perfected to "catch" a guy who is then trapped with no idea how cruelly he's been setup.
mircea_popescu: now to fully establish the other extreme, since nobody seems inclined, we return to scriptae :

kakobrekla: did he also eat the neighbors dog?
ThickAsThieves: he married his cousin too
ThickAsThieves: "Albert Einstein had half a dozen girlfriends and told his wife they showered him with "unwanted" affection, according to letters released "
mircea_popescu: btw, quick question : einstein had a) no girlfriend ; b) one girlfriend c) two girlfriends or d) thirteen girlfriends.
mircea_popescu: up to him.
ThickAsThieves: and should man tolerate the reverse?
mircea_popescu: turns out red wire was there all along :)
mircea_popescu: if they do dump em.
ThickAsThieves: the more they know about each other the more crazy they behave
mircea_popescu: this "lifetime monogamy" thing is a very narrow edge case of human sexual and intimate practice.
