mircea_popescu: look : we keep "having these threads" where you keep sprouting nonsense about how you think the world works. we'll have them until either you give up on thinking you have a clue on these things ; or i get tired of it.

mircea_popescu: thing is, given the tiny process now used, this is actually not such a terrible approach, for many projects.

mircea_popescu: a million or two votes should be enough for this entire planet.

mircea_popescu: anyway ; seems a fine principle, and i see no other available.

mircea_popescu: "Every male person, being twenty-one years of age, and resident in any particular town in this Commonwealth for the space of one year next preceding, having a freehold estate within the same town, of the annual income of three pounds, or any estate of the value of sixty pounds, shall have a right to vote in the choice of a Representative or Representatives for the said town."

mircea_popescu: yes, yes, i get it : life is a contest for life, and you have your favourite horse. this is fine. the important point here however isn't so much "what trump can accomplish" but "mp is as far as the internet can tell trump's campaign strategist. because no one other has better proof."

mircea_popescu: ah, that's a pretty stupid idea in that it kills pingbacks, which are a rather important contextualization tool.

mircea_popescu: and prove for the nth time that... a) nobody reads the "mainstream" media so no possibility of competing in the direct and b) they have no money anyway, nor any interest in any form of reality, so they can't buy anything from you anyway.

mircea_popescu: nevertheless, nannerl o keohane, at the time duke head, is certainly a fine example of lizard dome architect.

mircea_popescu: within a decade of her death, her chosen executor was replaced by us court ; morgan stanley president ; duke uni president and some other dubious schmucks appointed executors

mircea_popescu: so doris duke was this rando slut inheriting some decent chunk of change from the guy who owned lucky strike. she did all sorts of things, including funding duke university. then she died and left a will, naming her butler as executioner, leaving duke 10mn and stipulating that anyone contesting the will is to get nothing.

mircea_popescu: anyway. there's a deep reason hitler "beloved bayern". it's complicated, all this flow, but in the end - the "treuloser Feinglinge" version of the dolchstoss libel, while factually unsubstantiated, is entirely comprehensible historically.

mircea_popescu: "russian aristocracy" would have paraded nude with a bone-done hairdo, if it came to it.

mircea_popescu: classification is obviously a function of classifier's patience. "all butterflies are moths and that's good enough for a day's work."

mircea_popescu: but really, voltaire actually had a fine blueprint, EARLY. they just didn't read him.

mircea_popescu: it was at best a texas to this new york.

mircea_popescu: "what kind of house can i build if you and your wife aren't seated on a couch watching tv as we build the walls around you!!!1"

mircea_popescu: i said "a specific definition is not required for the discussion", you opted to stuff some nonsense into that.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, a specific definition of poverty is, much like euler's god, not actually necessary for this discussion.

mircea_popescu: (the agreement i inferred to have with phf as a result of that statement was "it's not even clear what sort of hyperexponential is involved, it grows so fast". we don't have any sort of upper bounds.)

mircea_popescu: well, a converse, but anyway, proceed.

mircea_popescu: s is nonsensical, because the "1" was also "all". a geometry describing one dimension in a world where only one dimension may exist is not any worse than a geometry describing three in a world with three. they're exactly the same thing : the complete story of geometry.

mircea_popescu: i said "phf the problem becomes rapidly complex as the tasks involved go above "i would like my snatch to not stink"". this is a statement of the nature of, "geometry becomes rapidly longer as the number of possible dimensions goes above 1". you said "and i never for a moment disagreed with 'snatch stinks? yer poor & stupid'". this is a statement of the nature of "if you only describe one dimension, you suck at geometry". thi

mircea_popescu: bejesus what a festival.

mircea_popescu: in the context it was used, "i would like my snatch to not stink" made up the whole of the universe ; in the context you used it, it's part of a larger universe. this comparison is invalid.

mircea_popescu: all math and no physics makes scientist a socialist!!11

mircea_popescu: generally complexity-reducing rules are for instance much more effectual as a class than ~anything else.

mircea_popescu: i guess technically a string is an n-vector.

mircea_popescu: more like a string.

mircea_popescu: but yes, upon examination it's obvious we don't agree on "the definition of poverty". you apparently imagine it is a boolean ; and idiocy also.

mircea_popescu: if she doesn't, you've got a sort of place. if she does, you've got another sort of place.

mircea_popescu: six to a room, from 6 to 60yo, every sperm is sacred, that jazz.

mircea_popescu: you want to live in that alt-world where not all poor people are by that fact imbeciles, move to a juntos vencemos place, live with the slime.

mircea_popescu: VERY MUCH, much more than commonly realised, in the way the us works is predicated on a "can you afford one" system of qualifications.

mircea_popescu: it was a rather contentious piece of lol.

mircea_popescu: i didn't witness it per se, it was just "the talk fo the town" so to speak. at least among a certain set.

mircea_popescu: it was a horror ; the baby was born iirc 13 months after the man's demise and their dna matched.

mircea_popescu: she totally gave them a run for their money.

mircea_popescu: well, probate cases, that's what they are. a judge ends up with 55 people in a room all clamoring.

mircea_popescu: in related lulz, while i was visiting mass at some point there was a huge todo because some woman had a child with a ~dead~ fortune owner. and the family was trying to exclude her.
