mike_c: i cooked and disposed of laboratory
trash
to pay for school. worst smell of my life.
mircea_popescu: i guess im
the only privileged asshole here, i never did anything
to eat.
ThickAsThieves: let's not veer over a cliff here,
this started mostly by pointing out
that anyone who's well read in
this space probably has something valuable
to offer
ThickAsThieves: not saying i'm "above" picking up
trash, i have at
times, just
that it's not
the right fit, nor
taking advantage of any of my experience
ThickAsThieves: kakobrekla> <ThickAsThieves> i define it as something productive, worth doing,
that provides mutual benefit
to me and at least one other party < you dont need a biz or a job or anything for
that /// only in
the broad sense, i wouldnt personally find
that "worth doing" in my own values of what my
time is worth
mircea_popescu: it's just
that it makes no sense for you
to keep virtual benjamins if you do nothing in
the bezzle.
mircea_popescu: like you know, some people don't wear dockers, because
they're not social justice warriors,
the women
they fuck don't even know what dockers are, etc.
mircea_popescu: nope. it's mostly because
they are not part of
that world.
mircea_popescu: about 200mn of us citizens live in
the fictitious world of bezzle.
they never use cash for anything. about 50mn us citizens live in
the real economy,
they mostly use
tide for currency, but at
the fringe
there's
this exchange of people who work for
the fictitious economy,
kakobrekla: <ThickAsThieves> i define it as something productive, worth doing,
that provides mutual benefit
to me and at least one other party < you dont need a biz or a job or anything for
that
kakobrekla: i
thought it was an acronym for just over broke
ThickAsThieves: i define it as something productive, worth doing,
that provides mutual benefit
to me and at least one other party
kakobrekla: <ThickAsThieves> i feel like i should be able
to get a job just mased on all
the readin ive done
the past year < isnt it
the point
that you end up not having 'a job'
mircea_popescu: "If your employer offers you insurance
that doesn’t provide free ella, or anything else on
the list of “preventive services”—as defined by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and ultimately by Obama—then it’s subject
to a fine of $36,500 a year. But if your employer doesn’t offer you insurance at all, it’s subject
to a fine of $2,000 a year. "
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> making a proper reading list is definitely something someone with a background in education could halp with < yes someone give her a hand so we dont end up with links
to facebook :p
mircea_popescu: what did
that
thing ipo at, was it 25 ? or 30 something ?
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure eventually people will, just
this bs "o we're
the sec/jpm/herpdiderp, we don't need no stikinin' obedience
to bitcoin" will have
to be either crushed or dissolved first.
ThickAsThieves: i feel like i should be able
to get a job just mased on all
the readin ive done
the past year
mircea_popescu: and
the forums i wouldn't advise anyone
to read, unless
they had mastered both
the
topic and internet stuff.
ThickAsThieves: yeah, "go read
the logs and
the forum" isn't quite realistic anymore
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves we definitely need a curriculum, currently it's "stfu and read", but
the implied "read what ?!" is never really addressed.
lampelina: will
think about it when I come
to
this
lampelina: mircea_popescu, what do you mean with
that
chetty: Mats_cd03,

thanks much
mircea_popescu: lampelina hey, you considering a "must read
these" page ?
Mats_cd03: the above article should be required reading for self
titled bitcoin enthusiasts
chetty: the organization plays a critical role in influencing
the behavior of banks and financial institutions around
the country
Mats_cd03: less friction seems
to be
the simplest way
to describe it
ozbot: The Real Reason
the Poor Go Without Bank Accounts - Lisa J. Servon -
The Atlantic Cities
mircea_popescu: basically
they're forcing people
to be paid in lala land whether
they live in lalaland or
the actual
tide economy
mircea_popescu: the fact
that
they enforce it on
the "Well
to do" govt employees makes it very expensive for actual workers
to gateway
to
the cash ecpnomy
they use
Mats_cd03: the fact
that banks suck so much is precisely why consumers have fled
to
their services
Mats_cd03: i disagree with
the belief
that payday lenders are
toxic
mircea_popescu: " 'Operation Choke Point,' which is designed
to destroy
three sectors of
the private lending industry:
third party payment processors ("TPPPs"), payday lenders, and online lenders. ". sez breitbart.

to
test it.
