mircea_popescu: this shit isn't in any sense rational. it's not properly speaking belief, like some believe jesus gives a shit about them or whatever, moses turned piss to vinegar. this is more like fatlogic, a convenient and therefore self-perpetuating earworm. whatever the problem, they'll just pretend like it's caused by you know, something somewhere being left behind, like they're playing old sierra quest games.
mircea_popescu: some strange fyrefestival math like, eating 4 cupcakes = 2400 calories, eating 5 cupcakes = 3500 calories and eating ALL the six cupcakes > 9000 calories. because ALL!
mircea_popescu: they genuinely imagined, and to this day still hold on to the impacted, unverbalised and unverbalizable belief that "educating" 100% of the horde is like... 2x better than educating 98.8% of it.
mircea_popescu: "no child left behind" wasn't supposed to lead to direct, immediate and precipitous tankage of the basic education system.
mircea_popescu: then they go hole themselves up in "exclusive" cul de sacs with bollards and shit.
mircea_popescu: this is the ~only belief of the idiot church : more is better.
mircea_popescu: socialist paradise of the future to be enacted through having more people involved. just like they think the country will fare better, politically, by having more low information voters added to the rolls, and just like clinton genuinely thought the economy will gain by having more black morons with "home ownership". even if it was a purely scriptural matter.
mircea_popescu: that was the whole obamacare thing.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's spelled healthfyre
mircea_popescu: fucktards.
mircea_popescu: and everyone cares about her. you know ? like irl ?
mircea_popescu: because she's a woman, you understand.
mircea_popescu: and an entire hospital, country and film set is organized around her.
mircea_popescu: it's the story of some laundress (kate pizdets) who speaks with a minor character la salle or de sale or w/e like she's hius wife
mircea_popescu: woman insisted we watch "quails"
mircea_popescu: quite.
mircea_popescu: "human cost of war" my foot. a mortar shell blew up during a training exercise. what fucking war ? the human cost of the continuance of the usg criminal organisation.

mircea_popescu: a good paddling i could see. morphine ? what for ?
mircea_popescu: why would you give 50yo kid trying to make a life/career out of singing into mom's hairspray tube in his underwear opiates ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose the next helping out of the ever fertile well of these idiots' imagination is you know, "bitcoin is money because we've been acting like it were for long enough and everyone really cares what we act like!!!"
mircea_popescu: "nobody ruled on nobody in particular's sophomoric argument with nobody else involving things and matters, please care!"
mircea_popescu: so basically this entire "legal proceeding" is about trying to enact the pretense that "E!" is a tv station and "WAGS Miami" is some sort of show and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: you have ghot to be kidding me.
mircea_popescu: "Both Voigt and "YesJulz" are big names on social media. Voigt is a fitness model and Instagram celebrity who starred last fall on "WAGS Miami," an E! reality TV show about the wives and girlfriends of sports figures in South Beach."
mircea_popescu: "social media star yesjulz" ? sorry ?
mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: if anything should be the international, universal and enduring symbol of socialism / stupidity, it'd be a koi fish in a plastic bag.

mircea_popescu: it is the place where you go to lie down and have your body temperature fixed passively.

mircea_popescu: mdma ?
mircea_popescu: ie "he just wanted to" ?
mircea_popescu: in fact, the cogent argument re heroin is that any usage pattern from which you woke up is abuse. the correct way to use it is the way chinese use it, as a retirement plan.
mircea_popescu: there's better drugs to abuse than fucking heroin.
mircea_popescu: why not buy a 20lb rock of pure lsd, mount it in a "den" and just you know, lick it whenever you wake up ?
mircea_popescu: must be
mircea_popescu: and in other "When you see it"s, https://68.media.tumblr.com/fc9f5fcc1f392a51a74ec2dbb2cd013d/tumblr_n6sccvgZuH1tptzhko1_1280.jpg
mircea_popescu: whatever, no longer relevant in itself. yet another electric panel co.
mircea_popescu: for a while was the cheapest way to get wordpress minds on their own space.
mircea_popescu: people from the future will look at these boneheaded decades incomprehendingly. never before, and i expect never after, has so much business been destroyed by "really passionate" imbeciles "who wanted to".
mircea_popescu: and in other "production being carried on succesfully by managers who want to make things", https://archive.is/IOVKM#selection-1317.5-1317.68 <<->> http://trilema.com/2014/namecheap-goes-off-the-deep-end-anyone-know-a-decent-domain-registrar/
mircea_popescu: when is this schmuck getting prosecuted for his "foundation" scam ?
mircea_popescu: why so irresponsible ? srsly nao. you hate us or something ?
mircea_popescu: think, if only you had taken the day to do that, you'd have saved mod6 a week of fiddling, for a net gain of 6 days for the republic.
mircea_popescu: and yes asciilifeform , YOU SHOULD HAVE FUCKING POSTED IT.
mircea_popescu: anyone got a theory ? ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: wtf is with all these obnoxious 80s media items doing heroin anyway ?
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, apparently george michael died. heroin abuse.
mircea_popescu: this whole "oh, someone else snuck in and shot my wife, didn't bother to fuck her before or after, nothing" is such lulz. who the fuck is going to shoot a woman, the husband himself can't be arsed most of the time.
mircea_popescu: 6 inch peni can't satisfy wives, either. nevertheless...
mircea_popescu: tl;cba - dude shot his wife in the head, ran off to argentina, is not being extradited and likes to claim that it's because he has sept 11 proofs!!1
mircea_popescu: shinohai lulzy, all the "technical trader" explaining away why their idiocy did not work. here, i have a very similar one for you : https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/1376503/september-11-cameraman-claims-hes-got-proof-the-george-w-bush-administration-was-behind-terror-attacks/ ☟︎
mircea_popescu: wetware, but yes.
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if everyone agrees itsucks for the nodes, they got no fee market, except for the miners, who go "hey, at least they ain't got a market!11"
mircea_popescu: it's still one for the ages, to observe the people for whom the market exists in the first place squirm like they were visited with flaming salt ffs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform quite.
mircea_popescu: yes the current miners elbowed themselves atop a larger set who tried to mine, over years, somehow. but this does not mean they're anything but a bunch of idempotent tards.
mircea_popescu: it's a little like giving an A to the kid who's top of the mongoloid class, forgetting for some reason that even if he floated to the top, he still floated to the top of a sewer and consequently is still a turd, fundamentally.
mircea_popescu: in short : the fundamental error at the base of the currently deployed bitcoin prototype is the nonsensical proposition that observed competence correlates with actual competence, rather than being just accidental happenstance.
