mircea_popescu: moreover, an attempted nominal continuity with your 20yo self would rather hinder you
today.
lobbes: Hm,
this makes sense. 20 yo lobbes was not in any sense
the lobbes of
today
mircea_popescu: at issue isn't whether yes-or-no, but whether specific-identity-or-not-particularily, see ? even if what you describe happens,
the item coming back won't meaningfully be douchebag.
lobbes: Sure. Best case as I see it is: mebbe d00d reads in silence for couple years,
then, once not-20-years-old and able
to grok, comes back and does productive
things. Probably won't happen, but ya never know.

the logs. I wager
that if you do, within 5 years
time you may start seeing
the value of building reputation with
the world's only sovereign
mircea_popescu: !!rate douchebag -1 as it
turns out,
the more elaborate effort one puts into distinguishing gold from sand,
the more elaborately sandy sand
the one ends up with. gold is irrespectively evident on
the first pass.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: they found him dead in a ditch, sewed him back
together and ran reanimative storm-powered electricity
through
the pile ?
hanbot: if we're
to believe him, a -~*college
teacher*~-
hanbot: meanwhile i accidentally stumbled on
TLP's return as it might look
through
the brainpan of elliot rodgers, oodles of cringe for anyone in need of a little sharpening for
the ol' misanthropic awl:

to something you've written ?
douchebag: BingoBoingo: I'm a pretty good writer, especially when it comes
to politics/privacy/and
technology. From what I currently understand I recieve I recieve one qntra share per word of each accepted article and shares go between 0.00000850
to 0.00001750 BTC, correct?
douchebag: Are you asking if I charge women
to let me fuck
them?
lobbes: douchebag: at least keep reading

☟︎ BingoBoingo: douchebag:
There's still qntra. Keep in communion, follow
the cause.
douchebag: mircea_popescu: Well, my main issue is
that I don't work for free. I'm not going
to spend
time working on a project
that I will not even be compensated for when I could be spending my
time working on projects
that I will compensated for.
BingoBoingo: Not quite as much so as
the sticky stuff in pete land, but not exactly pipe friendly
BingoBoingo: That is
the great
tragedy of Venezuala. All
that oil and... It's
the sticky heavy stuff.
BingoBoingo: Only Elon Musk Oxen with
twitters and privacy can be rich
mircea_popescu: people usually send letters with
their own picture on
them where
this guy is from ?!
BingoBoingo: and official seal. "I wish you can remove doubt and suspicious and go ahead I assured you
that you will never regret
this fund release,"
the email said in part."
BingoBoingo: "It got
to
the point where
they were showing me
that
the president of Nigeria had sent me a letter. It had his picture on it and everything," Haines said. "I looked it up on
the computer
to see what
the Nigerian president looked like, and it was him." Once, he received an email claiming
to be from Robert Mueller, who was
then
the FBI director.
The email was addressed
to Haines, code-name "B-DOG," and it was signed with
the FBI's address
mircea_popescu: "mommy, mommy,
the kids in school hate me." "why ?" "THEYRE BARBARIC!!!!" "oh, i see!"
mircea_popescu: oodles upon oodles of discussions of "antisemitism", a
term very substantially like phologiston : its mere inclusion in a
text constitutes an ironclad guarantee
that nothing intelligent, useful or interesting will be found
there.
mircea_popescu: on
the otherhand, but just as amusing,
the simple and plainly evident fact
that period europe consisted of ~way~
the fuck more people who couldn't stand jews
than of people who liked hitler is, somehow, not much of a subject for
the pomposity calling itself "scholarship". really,
this happenstance doesn't happen
to be at all interesting, somehiw ?
mircea_popescu: you know,
the whole pile re hitler ancestry is fucking hysterical. fellow "absorbed austrian granite
through his father", believe it or not. whatever
that might mean.
mircea_popescu: ah
there it is, Leopold Frankenberger,
the 19yo son of
the jewish family where
the 40yo grandmother worked as a cook.
this is ~about what i recalled.
mircea_popescu: did
they ever establish whether granpa alois was actually somewhat jewish ?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
there's
this constant "oh,
there's a lot of us, what can you do". i dunno... machine gun
the leftovers after extracting all prostitutable girlies ? how about ?
mircea_popescu: owing on one hand
to
the extreme cheapness of building materials and on
the other hand
to
the absolutely beaslty notions of southern socialism, as
to
the "rights"
the scum has.
mircea_popescu: they have
this HUGE problem in
the orclands with "buildings" without
title on land
the builders don't own.
mircea_popescu: eh, england's a shithole
to
the degree a waspnest better approximates it.
they have
to constantly
tear down old cells
to chew into new ones.
mircea_popescu: if
the walls could speak, no one would listen
to any degree.
there's already
too much
to read.
mircea_popescu: Finisce sempre cosi, con la morte. Prima, però, c'è stata la vita. La vita, nascosta sotto il bla, bla, bla, bla, bla.
Tutto è sedimentato sotto il chiacchiericcio e il rumore : il silenzio è il sentimento, l'emozione e la paura. Gli sparuti, incostanti sprazzi di bellezza. E poi lo squallore disgraziato e l'uomo miserabile.
Tutto è sepolto dalla coperta dell'imbarazzo dello stare al mondo. Bla, bla, bla, bla, bla.
mircea_popescu: "today, a snail came. i am not sure about
this new moss growing.
the wind is uncharacteristically global
this
time of
the cycle. bla, bla, bla..."
mircea_popescu: if every brick standing for eight
to
twenty centuries in an indistinct wall spoke
the whole
time we'd go mad.
mircea_popescu: there isn't really much
to
tell, which is why "happily ever after" goes
the expression.
mircea_popescu: in other solipsisms, i
threw out a rebours & l'innocente, because
the suck, re-reading my zuleika rewrite instead, very happy with it.
BingoBoingo: Maybe some people just like walking around with a dick
that smells of lanolin without using lotion?
mircea_popescu: hey, wanna never have
to kill anyone, learn
to like
the soylent.
mircea_popescu: this is
the way of sheep,
to appear
to be entirely aware.
mircea_popescu: but,
the working of
the wool shear is not for
the sheep
to meditate upon.
mircea_popescu: as naggum well put it, "have a kid or
two, a start-up or
two, an ambulance ride or
two, suddenly your imaginary independence you sacrificed your youth for is nowehre in sight"
mircea_popescu: these are all plied specifically as ways
to plug
the printing press circuitry, lest it leaks.
mircea_popescu: or
take pete d, or who
the hell else. plenty of people.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eg, you had some friend come over long ago, was going
to do laser work for early model of fuckgoats ?
mircea_popescu: like science, you know,
there's not 1 scientist per 10k "sciences" academia departments.
