Trilema - Un blog de M
ThickAsThieves: they even have "impact fees" in quotes, something
this rag discusses often
pankkake: it's words from
the evil faceless finance word
ThickAsThieves: lol i'm reading a local article about city gov not paying its "futures"
to
the electric co
pankkake: "Through fixing
this outstanding issue with BitFunder/WeExchange it will be a good
thing for Neo & Bee and
the Bitcoin community as a whole." :|
mike_c: or if
there just isn't any action,
then you'll lose out on
the fees.
mike_c: if a lot of money comes in both sides it works out. if it goes heavily slanted one way
the whole
time, not so much.
chsados: it seems like he is betting heavy on both sides
though - how does
that become profitable
mike_c: somebody caught on
to
the
trick. dump a bunch of money in early and kill
the late guys. a good move.
mike_c: thanks, i
thought so
too.
mike_c: i know,
that is interesting!
mike_c: hm, interesting. a week ago
the btc/usd 7 day volatility was
the highest its been since August 2011
KRS|gotyawallet: i love
that about
the internetz..otherwise wouldnt have been noticed.
KRS|gotyawallet: one
thing i have found is
that
there are A LOT of local rap artists with A LOT of
talent and good songs
Vexual: no i mean its
the land
that
time forgot
Vexual: its
the end of
the earth
KRS|gotyawallet: now
they are eating giant lizards..i bet it
tastes like chicken
ozbot: 04 In
The Bush With Malcolm Douglas S01E05 - YouTube
KRS|gotyawallet: not hungry enough
to go catch something like
this and eat it..now boar..I'll hunt and eat
the hell out of wild boar..about 20 miles from where i live, my 4x4 .45 sidepiece and 12 gauge shotgun, its on...knife, winch and hunting dogs ready
to go.
ozbot: The Doom Generation (1995)
Trailer - YouTube
KRS|gotyawallet: I'd rather go eat some
thing from McDonalds which is probably very bad for me,
than eat something like
this.
KRS|gotyawallet: Vexual: its very strange
that foxes fly in your country..but
then again I
think some folks
there even eat Bats.
KRS|gotyawallet: Pray
to Jesus so
the forum fuckwit can be saved and find salvation.
mircea_popescu: and just like nobody botheres with amy i don't bother with
that forum fuckwit and so
the circle continues.
Vexual: oldest society in
the world
mircea_popescu: nobody can be bothered
to give her a good lashing and put her
to work, because
this is more skilled and valuable attention
than she "deserves".
Duffer1_: even
then it's almost not survivable
mircea_popescu: up
to her chest in shit, fed antibiotics
to control
the infection. everything at
the bare minimum.
mircea_popescu: the way
the capitalist democracy works is
that she gets
the bare minimum
to survive, much like a cow in one of
the insalubrous farms
they invented.
KRS|gotyawallet: how so? in a capitalist society she wouldnt be given anything, she would have
to do something in order
to survive ie: make herself useful
KRS|gotyawallet: capitalism wouldnt let
that happen..in her system is she given
the necessities
to survive even
though she doesn't work?
mircea_popescu: but
this doesn't happen where she lives. why not ? because nobody gives a shit.
mircea_popescu: now, if amy got
to spend a few years on a mexican farm among mexican people who'd put her lazy ass
to work rather
than ask her about her feelings
mircea_popescu: well
that's basically my point. in his system, every person is valuable, and because oif
that you end up with hard working people who aren't depressed.
KRS|gotyawallet: he lives in a VERY different system although he doesn't even live
that far away from where i do
mircea_popescu: also unlike amy, he doesn't vote. he lives in a different system, which both explains him and makes sense
to him.
KRS|gotyawallet: right, he does
the work of
two men and doesnt need
to be managed
mircea_popescu: the democratic system however ensures
that he's well penalised for
that.
KRS|gotyawallet: comparitavely its nothing
to me, i easily drink
twice as much as I pay him when I go
to
the strip club on
the weekends
to see
tits.
Vexual: youre
thinking manhours, where its output you want
KRS|gotyawallet: In return he works like
two men when I only have
to pay one.
KRS|gotyawallet: i pay him moar because he works hard, is reliable and very
trustworthy..i pay him his equivallent rate as a documented worker.
Vexual: he is
the company fuckwit
Vexual: i
think capitalism is pretty hard wired into humans
KRS|gotyawallet: i have a mexican i pay $100 for a day of labour on my property..usually
twice a month..he normally makes $80 and works longer in on
the farms picking vegetables.
Vexual: labour is a free market, if you've got skills or whathaveyou, ask
the price
Vexual: they dont camp
there for more
than a night, let alone dig
the shit up
KRS|gotyawallet: I was just having
trouble understanding
the worth of labour as it applies
to democracy, which is more suited for a discussion about capitalism.
mircea_popescu: but
this is
the very point at hand : in
the republican
tyrani around vorkuta she might be discovered as somewhat valuable. in her hometown @ democracy, she's exactly zero.
Vexual: and a phd in some bullshit noone wants
to read flags you as a kneeler
mircea_popescu: in fact she may well be worth zero.
that's an achievement, for a live human.
mircea_popescu: "amy" is not exactly
tradeable for one random individual. she's worth less
than
the average of 7 billion, which is already pretty damning.
mircea_popescu: you can't escape value as such. it's
there whether your current viewpoint hides it or not.
KRS|gotyawallet: On one hand we are
talking about value, as it applies
to labour which probably applies better
to
the context of capitalism and on
the other hand we're applying
that
toward a democracy which doesnt necessarily recognize value, but rather mob rule.
Vexual: were about 5-10 years off
the real info revolution
Vexual: ill shut
the flip when im good and ready bitch
Vexual: i was on my mobile phone doing deals at
the back in 94
mircea_popescu: these all include
two
things : adversative education, which is
to say education done forcibly, without bothering with
the consent of
the educated, and political power. neither exist in a democracy,
thus reducing
the youth
to
this situation of neoteny.
mircea_popescu: similarly, but more politely,
the process
through which
the medieval youth moved from unskilled apprentice
to skilled journeyman
to actual craftsman on his own is similar
mircea_popescu: the process
through which
the antique adolescens solidified into vir, ie, a man, is
the
typical increase in value. it includes such experience as killing others, and being responsible for
the self in new situations and so on.
mircea_popescu: KRS|gotyawallet no, i mean put
them in a position where
their abilities and knowledge actually improve so
that
they are objectively worth more.
Vexual: but
theres a few unions
that will dissappear a politician
Vexual: apprently all our medical records were dutifully compiled into
the prism database
KRS|gotyawallet: whre its illegal in a democracy
to improve
the capital value of labour? You mean pay a man more
than a woman for certain
types of jobs?
mircea_popescu: KRS|gotyawallet well yes,
the entire discussion started with an example.
mircea_popescu: Vexual yeah, inasmuch as it's done
to exhaust
the person without any benefit
then it's acceptable.
mircea_popescu: the entire point of
the whole
thing is
to make it so people are worthless and stay worthless.
mircea_popescu: exactly. it's actually illegal in
the democracy
to improve
the capital value of labour.
Vexual: i foirgot
to puit ino moi doil foirm
Vexual: if you bump your head on
the scaffold of a construction site, you havent much hoipoe
mircea_popescu: yet you know, in imperial japan or soviet russia or republican rome it is not acceptable for some guy
to go "i have no skills master but i would like
to work" and he not be
taken in,
trained and worked.
Vexual: double or nothing would be at least
twice as funny
ozbot: Driicky Graham "Snapbacks &
Tattoos" - YouTube
mircea_popescu: but if you live in
the heartless-est system ever invented, you can just nod and ignore.
Vexual: thats not
the most funny outcome
mircea_popescu: if you live in some sort of more or less republican
tyrany it is incumbent upon you
to
take in all
the idiots.
