ThickAsThieves: so far we've got altcoin makers as drug dealers, drugs being illegal, but drugs being okay, and world apthetic
to
the detah of miners everywhere
chetty: looking in
the barrel of a gun does
the same
thing nubbins
nubbins`: herbijudlestoids:
that's how it goes
mircea_popescu: you go kill some other man, not come up with bizarre substitutes in
the manner of cutting instead of going out.
herbijudlestoids: nubbins`: you are doing a poor job explaining something
that needs be experienced
nubbins`: how you gonna reflect with
truth if you've got all
the layers in
the way?
nubbins`: better hide
that plant from
the cops
mircea_popescu: what's
this, were all russian peasants looking for more land
to farm ?
mircea_popescu: i guess it is. unless it's a girl showing it
to me and
the new color is some new shade of pink between her legs, i couldn't care less.
nubbins`: "Salvia is an unapproved herbal supplement
that is prohibited by law for sale in Canada."
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: have you ever ingested an indole
tryptamine before?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu:
this is maybe
the fundamental difference between us :D
mircea_popescu: dude
the LAST
thing on my
to do list is being shown new colors
nubbins`: you get
to have an experience
that your brain would never produce on its own
nubbins`: the picture on
the
tv stopped moving and
the room filled up diagonally with buzzing ;(
mircea_popescu: i don't get all you doods with
the "trying" shit. have you
tried
the mains socket,
too ?
nubbins`: i was 20
the first
time i
tried salvia
mircea_popescu: "The National Survey on Drug Use and Health, an annual US based survey sponsored by
the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), for 2006 estimated
that about 1.8 million persons aged 12 or older had used Salvia divinorum in
their lifetime, of which approximately 750,000 had done so in
that year."
mircea_popescu: however, i'm not going
to hold
that as HER QUALIFICATION, most
times.
mircea_popescu: i mean... i'm not going
to hold it against some woman
that she goes around naked in public.
herbijudlestoids: nubbins`: interestingly, as
the only hallucinogenic opioid it seems
to have some anti-abuse properties and can assist in
the
treatment of addiction
nubbins`: i'm just
trying
to reconcile "i wish
to be a financial professional" with "i ran a PMB" / "i created a lelcoin"
nubbins`: who's
taking it
to
that degree?
herbijudlestoids: in australia,
TGA monitors
the internet and schedules plants
that
they deem dangerous
mircea_popescu: can't possibly
take
this
to
the degree nobody can do anything anymore.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: anyway,
the
thing
that salvia has going for it is
that it doesn't lend itself
to abuse
mircea_popescu: but getting back
to
the point here : if some scammor is lieing
through
their
teeth, usagi style, it's one
thing
to add a rider
to
their crap
that whoa, jesus, scam.
nubbins`: TBH i haven't kept up on it in recent years, but i was under
the impression
that many individual states had prohibited it
herbijudlestoids: under
the law judges can schedule it by weight
the same as heroin and cocaine
nubbins`: i
think
the concept of an illegal plant is as foolish as anyone
mircea_popescu: "Salvia divinorum remains legal in most countries and, within
the United States, is legal in
the majority of states. However, some have called for its prohibition."
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i don't get where you got
the idea it's "illegal"
nubbins`: mike_c:
the bleeding hearts would care, sure.
that's a given
tho
mike_c: "if everyone who dug a vein died, nobody'd care" << you need a pretty strong soapbox
to stand on
that.
nubbins`: smoke
that, you'll get a headache
nubbins`: mircea_popescu:
that's a different salvia
Duffer1: this chan has higher quality soap boxes,
they last a while
nubbins`: consider
the case of salvia divinorum. powerful drug, blast you
to hyperspace. was legal in most places until a handful of years ago
mircea_popescu: people want what diogenes wanted :
to be able
to sate hunger
the way
they sate horniness
mike_c: i
thought we were all out of soapboxes after yesterday
nubbins`: you do
the dope, you spend your days breaking into houses and businesses
to steal shit
to buy dope
mircea_popescu: no, it doesn't work because responsibility is not
transitive.
nubbins`: doesn't mean you shouldn't
try
to convince dealers
to stop dealing
nubbins`: or you don't arrest
them because
there aren't enough dope fiends
to give a fuck
nubbins`: no, you arrest random dope dealers because x number of people are dope fiends and it has a net negative effect on
the society in which
the dope dealing
takes place
mircea_popescu: " rnadom dope dealers because
this guy was a dope fiend"
mircea_popescu: hoffman's death is hoffman's problem, you can't be arresting rnadom dope dealers because
this guy was a dope fiend.
chetty: Poll: More Americans 'Can't Live Without' Laptops, Smartphones
Than Sex
nubbins`: and
that leads us
to yesterday's convo
mircea_popescu: in a more general sense : as
tempting as it may be, you can't allocate responsibility
to actions by
the "effect"
they have on people.
nubbins`: what one is
to do is
to suggest
that
the head gets cut off it before it gets out of hand
mircea_popescu: what's one
to do ?
the internet is a contextless medium. i can put a disclaimer in
there, and i do. nevertheless, ihave
to fit it in 140 chars and anyone is just as likely
to "get it" as
to get it.
nubbins`: and
then pretending --
tongue in cheek or not --
that
they're serious
nubbins`: my issue is with pumping out alts of no value whatsoever beyond providing a venue for cons
to fleece rubes
nubbins`: rubecoin-in-a-box, on
the other hand...
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i didn't
think
there was much merit
to
them is why i ask
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: read
the logs, jeez ;p
mircea_popescu: <pLambert> over
time,
the block reward will go down, causing mining profit
to decrease <<
that's not what drives
the efficiency
nubbins`: ThickAsThieves: what makes you
think i have a beef with you? ;p
pLambert: over
time,
the block reward will go down, causing mining profit
to decrease, and mining hardware efficiency will improve, so mining polution will never be a huge problem.
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: use
the heat
to power
turbines
to pump water uphill :D
ThickAsThieves: Snowden has made it clear
that if he is arrested, if he vanishes, or if he "dies" from any cause whatsoever, ALL of
the information in his possession will be published publicly."
KRS-One: if
they dont want
to do it
there must be a reason
to not
trust. !=trust
