the_scourge: mircea
_popescu: if you want a first principles argument for the existence of the cathedral, that has been given already. i'm not going to repeat it in an IRC channel. everyone knows where to find it, i'm just wondering why you in particular haven't looked at it
chetty: <the
_scourge> obviously not everyone in the world enjoys prose, otherwise everyone in the world would agree with modlbug that atheists worship equality, not science// atheists worship not worshiping
mircea_popescu: the
_scourge: wait, are you suggesting that socialism isn't part of The Cathedral? << a) "the cathedral" is about as solid a concept as moldbug's new os.

_scourge: i'm in edmonton. and iirc you're in canada too
the_scourge: pete
_dushenski: you've obviously not aquainted yourself with NRx at all. if you chose to read a little and open your mind, it will hurt for several days
the_scourge: pete
_dushenski: if you read how dawkins got pwned, then you'll understand what i mean by religionists
the_scourge: pete
_dushenski: by religionists, i mean atheists
the_scourge: mircea
_popescu: sure, i'll pick it up later, remember your question
pete_dushenski: the
_scourge: all = modern only. rousseau didn't invent socialism

_popescu: so no, when i'm talking about hanging each and every us bureaucrat, through a war crimes court, within our lifetime i am not being in any sense and to any degree metaphorical.
pete_dushenski: the
_scourge: ya the "phys-sec" thing is something i've heard about for years and years now
the_scourge: pete
_dushenski: but i need to formulate my concerns. it's mostly to do with ... if you've succeeded in preserving a clean, elegant, un-pwnable bitcoind variant, then all the poser cyperpunks GTFO, leaving only a small minority of (VERY valuable BTC) who are then in a VERY phys-sec vulnerable position

_popescu: jurov for what it's worth, here's my experience with bitcoin remittances : i sent btc to otc correspondents, ordered wires sent out to the hk account of my local agent, who has paid me dollars, in cash, in argentina. the entire process took less than what it takes to get a letter of credit, and significantly less than what international trade normally settles in.
the_scourge: pete
_dushenski: yah, i thought i had a modicum of those things and while i totally grasp it, my age + intution is doing this thing saying: it would never pan out like that anyways"
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron <command-line>:0:0: warning: "
_FORTIFY
_SOURCE" redefined << that doesn't sound so good.
pete_dushenski: the
_scourge: it does take a significant amount of interest in investing, monetary history, politics, to grasp
the_scourge: pete
_dushenski: because most don't quite understand the point. i kinda get the perceived problem (thanks to alf) but the solution, while cool, hasn't struck me as nuclear (yet)

_vulpes: <mircea
_popescu> chick's so drastically ugly tho... << pretty indicative of the tail to which us brass has access << kinda my supposition yeah. kinda sad if true. the competition to be him is at least 100k to 1. the competition to be her ? it's like superunitary, 0.x to 1.
pete_dushenski: the
_scourge: and nuclear weapons most definitely do something
pete_dushenski: the

_popescu: good advice but as a non-USian who has spent 90% of his life outside the US and 100% of his adult life outside of N/A, and has lived in non-western places as well, i think there could be something said for living for a short while in california or new england
mircea_popescu: the
_scourge the standing advice for all usians has been "get the fuck out of the us" for at least a year.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pete
_dushenski if you got the guy's email by virtue of him commenting, and you don't mind, drop him a note saying i loathe blogspot, but if he has time drop by for a chat.
mircea_popescu: the
_scourge but you see the difference between working on and working within ?
