benkay: the robots hate me
today
mircea_popescu: apparently one of
them being a very improbable occurence
they lucked out on. once.
mircea_popescu: they figured it's easy
to do, and so didn't pay enough attention
to
the samples
mircea_popescu: anyway, asciilifeform,
the saddest story
to date is of
this corp
that MANAGED it. once.
KRS1: i would like pr0ns of
that
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah,
they can't actually sprout shitake.
KRS1: heh
thats quite a picture
mircea_popescu: sort of like a 3d printer + desktop combo, but made out of cunt
tissue and capable of pissing apples.
mircea_popescu: in
the sense of,
this programmable device capable of controlled gmoization.
mircea_popescu: that's probably
the product of
the future, by
the way :
the organic computer.
mircea_popescu: so you get five of
the six... and
that's all you're going
to get.
mircea_popescu: except people have found a way
to get investors
to pay for it
benkay: anyways
there's decades of breeding in
the pot plants
that i find it hard
to imagine getting around with gmos
benkay: 'cause
that's how one prevents a pot plant from going
to seed
benkay: actually now i'm curious what an unpollinated
tomato would do
benkay: why would you put
those genes in a plant
that fruits?
mircea_popescu: people will make ethanol out of corn or buy it
to rot in govt "reserves" before feeding any starving idiots
mircea_popescu: benkay i doubt
there's much relation. famine is well resilient
to dropping prices of grain
benkay: on
the same note, everything
that increases agricultural output is a bad
thing 'cause it leads rather quickly
to more humans
mircea_popescu: i will not
trust an industrial process, such as gmo, on
the grounds
that in centuries of practice it NEVER failed
to make
the world dangerous for me.
mircea_popescu: benkay i will
trust a natural process, such as viral
transfer, on
the grounds
that in millenia of practice it failed
to make
the world dangerous for me.
dexX7: usually it's more like "we make
the
tomato resistant vs pesticide x" afaik
mircea_popescu: it means
to have undergone
this process where random bits of dna were
thrown at a large number of cells just like it, in
the hopes
that something maybe catches.
benkay: especially given what's coming out about
the common nature of organic viral-driven lateral gene
transfer
benkay: i'm quibbling about what it means for a
thing
to be a "genetically modified organism"
mircea_popescu: well so
then
that's
the objection. has nothing
to do with reproduction, it's just mashing
things
together
KRS1: benkay: engineers reprogram for instance
the dna of a
tomato so
they grow really big and feed more people..a really simple example
benkay: f.ex: an organism identified
to carry a certain set of genes bred with another organism some breeders would like
to see
that gene in
benkay: i just want a little more subtlety in
the conversation
benkay: y'all should see
their new
tirades about GMOs
KRS1: do something about
that player im about
to
ozbot: We’re all one pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
benkay: point is
this human is no
tiberiusxiv
benkay: he even got you worked up a few
times
mircea_popescu: 's even got sideways print
to fill all available surfaces with rant
nubbins`: i watched a documentary on
that soap a while ago
dexX7: i have no idea what you are
talking about
mircea_popescu: monkey` i can't
tell you cause you'll probably be mean
to it.
mircea_popescu: ahaha, wait,
the "fuck asics, i'll make a heat oven PMG" ?
mod6: yah, long
time no
troll
mircea_popescu: what were you originally ?
the guy with
the cars/living standards/whatnot
mircea_popescu: Jun 22 23:49:41 <ThickAsThieves>[16:47] * bitcoin935 (3246306d@gateway/web/freenode/ip.50.70.48.109) Quit (Quit: <ThickAsThieves> sometimes i watch "the
three stooges"
to
take notes.)
monkey`: fuck is
this new garbage? what happend
to his little online RPG
monkey`: that
trashbag mircea popescu selling a new pump and dump?
nubbins`: funny, "ghanada" is exactly what's written on
the covers of
the zines
mircea_popescu: somehow we must get
this perfect middle where if you don't understand you ask but if you
think you know better you stfu or get caned.
nubbins`: and
the canadians were all "o"
nubbins`: then
the point was raised
that
the canadians will also probably end up feeling uncomfortable in ghana because children are caned
there
nubbins`: anyway,
the issue arose because
the ghanaians don't feel comfortable questioning "authority" figures, and
the supervisors were explaining
that here in canada if you don't understand why you're doing something, you ask, because you're
trying
to be a part of our culture
nubbins`: yeah. 3 months here, 3 months
there
nubbins`: well,
that was one of
the points
that came up
nubbins`: the workshop itself was great, everybody loved printing. but
then i got stuck in
the room for a "discussion" between
this youth group and
their project supervisors
nubbins`: <dexX7> if you
take a look at a phonepad and
type 324 it will include
the chars
to form FBI
nubbins`: it's so rare
that i see
the word "fecund" used in conversation. great word
nubbins`: <mircea_popescu> i can't do
that,
the neoreactionaries would hate me because i am helping
the jewish-african plot
to subvert white fecundity.
mircea_popescu: it rests atop an artificial island created out of employee icecream
tubs.
mircea_popescu: dexX7
the building is made from
the caps of pens
they use in filing
their
taxes
dexX7: the whole complex is used by
them or did
they just rent a floor?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yeah pictures usually do. i know
the first
time i went on a set and saw
the actual
tits i was hmm... didn't
think
they're actually
that big.
