mircea_popescu: my positive view comes from specific things, such as take the recent article of his that was discussed here : his references are good.
mircea_popescu: sadly there isn't such a thing as "brilliant trader" in nature anymore than there is "masked crime figther wearing a cape".
mircea_popescu: and bitcoin replication isn't the best of topics for this theory anyway.
mircea_popescu: until they are replicated, all successes can't be replicated.
mircea_popescu: well worship is a complex topic. for one thing, why'd you worship anything that dun fuck you.
mircea_popescu: because the latter have to move, and consequently must be graceful and etcetera.
mircea_popescu: the problem is the rope frays at the other end : bama dillert's father, who plows, does not appear in any james hones novels ; bama dillert himself, who figures if a man's gonna gamble anyway, might as well do it without plowing, does.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's two kinds of animals, at the basics. those who "make something with own chloroplasts" ie, algae, plants etc ; and then those who eat them.
mircea_popescu: if for nothing else, because if followed along it ends up favouring bos over panthera
mircea_popescu: because taleb is no mark cuban (the poster child of "pro wrestlert accidentally sold pair of used undies for 5bn, now thinks self businessman in spite of mountain of evidence to the contrary accumulated over the decades)
mircea_popescu: if it's indeed the case that taleb is your orlov, i'll comment that i'm missing out on less than you are.
mircea_popescu: very similar reaction in a certain sort of mousy librarian brain (like for eg the population of something awful) wrt yours truly.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-02#1635912 << i don't personally find taleb objectionable. this position my be significantly bolstered by my disinclination to actually read him. anyway -- i suspect it might be a case of anaphylaxis. you can't stand specific antigens which he expresses mostly to protect himself from the idiot soup he bathes in, the twitter world etc.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: (in other words : males tend to put up all sorts of inept acts because, literally, manhood is a practical impossibility.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's hard out there for a pimp, yo, when he trynna make da mony fo da rent.
mircea_popescu: as far as the forum is concerned, his latest foray was some very overreactive bs triggered by my refusal to take rice out of my sushi or somesuch.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-02#1635906 << lebanese iirc expat ; did some research work in the us. not actually stupid but altogether lazy and possessed of a very inflated sense of self-worth and self-importance (it seems to rub off on foreigners faster than on locals, this typical ustardism. i guess it would be because the immigrants self-select for sensitivity to the infection).
☝︎ mircea_popescu: arrogance is a defense mechanism in sexually frustrated males.
mircea_popescu: not to piss on your parade, but how did you go from "unsolicited manuscript" to "good tidings" ?
mircea_popescu: lobbes you ever got in game yet ? till trinque 's payment thing is live that's the only way
mircea_popescu: (top keks : sysco tried to buy us foods (2nd in the field) a few years ago, it came out the merger'd have controlled 75% of the us food supply)
mircea_popescu: dude got the government into torture. outside of that... really, what else, what more ? once that's on the table everything else's peanuts.
mircea_popescu: in general, the pretense that anything in the us can limit the presidential administration was all but abandoned with bush
mircea_popescu: which is kinda the point here. yes, if you read the libertard fake news they're like all victorious and shit, hillary is practically president.
mircea_popescu: last i heard, idiot argentine "dreamer" was detained and deported.
mircea_popescu: and the trump news totally dried out ;/ nothing but rehashed butthurt and libertard wishful thinking.
mircea_popescu: the only adequate epitaph on the tombstones of well over 90% of "civilised world" females the past few centuries is "here lies jane, whom nobody could suymmon the interest to ever rape."
mircea_popescu: the big secret re rape is that it's a happy occasion. the fundamental state is two bored people watching tv, too lazy for even the copacetic nonsense they call proper. let alone any kind of rape.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so they can make .io websites under dorky pseudonyms and expect medium tards to pick them up ?
mircea_popescu: to think that, much like "tor", those passed for the "forefront of internets" at some point, a decade prior.
mircea_popescu vaguely recalls some "pirate party" associated dorks producing lame "oh, can't factor a key anyway" verbiage cca 2015
☟︎ mircea_popescu: kinda nice when it just gives away the whole key like that.
mircea_popescu: lmao 310 + 310 digit factors. this'd be a 2kb key i gather ?
mircea_popescu: "but mp, my mom told me i was born with the god-given ability to make cogent arguments" "that;s probably why she fucks drunks, too."
mircea_popescu: im not even discussing the substance of his claim. so far we're at the pre-hearing arguments where he learns how to make a cogent statement in the first place.
mircea_popescu: i suppose one shouldn't ask what color scipio had anywhere near a marble bust of same amirite.
mircea_popescu: "along with images of European sculptures of white men." << welcome to the empire of ignoramuses.
mircea_popescu: which is pretty much how i'd sum up eg djb's recent debacle.
mircea_popescu: a doomed entreprise, obviously. even the more intelligent among the herd are actively laboring to make themselves intolerable and to undermine any possiblity of even vaguely respectable entities sharing their space.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd guess the closest to home summation would be "they aspire to be well regarded by an entity they can respect".
mircea_popescu: and in any case inferior to actual sexual slavery on the face.
mircea_popescu: it's not clear to me what specifically they aspire to, but it IS clear to me that the plurious "variety" in that aspiration is strictly of the nature of the variant surface glycoproteins, protecting protozoans from the immune system
mircea_popescu: that while not all of the us livestock is fit for either sexual slavery or "our democracy" whatever the fuck they would call their current activities ; "raising awareness and waiting for their day" whatever it may be -- nevertheless sexual slavery is a much more legitimate ASPIRATION than whatever they aspire to, namely "our democracy" or "speaking at a conference" or w/e the shit.
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that yes, evolution is an observable phenomenon.
mircea_popescu: in any case, dude droning on about "his ideas re evolution" is going to make a very poor impression. as they aren't his fucking ideas, and an apparent ignorance of the whole darwin thing does not plead in favour of either his intelligence or his culture.
mircea_popescu: that's definitionally a mfa, aka "i pick up rss feeds and wordspin for google". except here it's not for google, but for naive civillians.
mircea_popescu: not necessarily. but "here's a bootstrap website" certainly dun qualify.
mircea_popescu: either you are somebody, in which case you may have ideas ; or else you are nobody, in which case you stole them.
mircea_popescu: the problem is this : i/we don't deem $nobody capable of independent thought.
mircea_popescu: what's your word for "i'm just stating stuff others have said without referencing" ?
mircea_popescu: "Each of HomeShare’s hundreds of tenants gets about 55 square feet along with half a closet, half a bathroom, and a compact common area shared with a roommate and usually two other flatmates, slumbering in the unit’s other divided bedroom." << how's this supposed to be preferable to simple, honest to god sexual slavery is anyone's guess.
☟︎ mircea_popescu steels himself for when someone's gonna want to be the lord of right good and proper.
