orkaa: yeah, this one
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: on the death of academia: http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2007/07/my-navrozov-moments.html (moldbug) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: dub nassim taleb
mircea_popescu: o look, she retweeted me too. dense is she.
mircea_popescu: he's been doing off the deep end superbly on twitter.
mircea_popescu: i am currently pining all hopes of universalist humanity on the taleb fellow
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actual academics mostly went extinct after ww2. (you'll meet the occasional one, preserved, like the occasional panda still alive in some zoo)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ho hum. there's a whole dark underworld of this crud, esp. in the U.S.; and the perpetrators are often salaried academics and their flunkies.
mircea_popescu: because it privileges the speed of light over other speeds that are much more important to us.
mircea_popescu: also they reject e=mc2 as a sexed equation,
mircea_popescu: t towards men because women lack the institutional power that men have.
mircea_popescu: Sexism is both discrimination based on gender and the attitudes, stereotypes, and the cultural elements that promote this discrimination. Given the historical and continued imbalance of power, where men as a class are privileged over women as a class (see male privilege), an important, but often overlooked, part of the term is that sexism is prejudice plus power. Thus feminists reject the notion that women can be sexis
mircea_popescu: dude copumpkin is a twitter badass. check out what he dug up
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for those who await the lead, rather than the gold, standard.
mircea_popescu: well it'd have to be the end of PART of the world then
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: idea: the gold in the casascius coin is a TEOTWAWKI "backup."
ThickAsThieves: then they should just comment on user activity
thestringpuller: ThickAsThieves: people go inactive, someone not logging in for X time is considered the same as losing a user to the social media world.
gribble: smickles was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 3 weeks, 4 days, 9 hours, 46 minutes, and 30 seconds ago: <smickles> a bitcoin atm could be the easiest way to send money to a friend, each of you just goes to an atm
nospinzy: you can see how many people come to your website...
ThickAsThieves: how doe facebook lose users anyway? people actually take the time to close accounts?
taub: okay i got it working deadweasel, had to change the keyboard settings, ty
nospinzy: cause all the narsasists have taken over
thestringpuller: Good news mircea_popescu: "Facebook Is Losing Millions Of Users In The US And Other Mature Markets"
deadweasel: then feed that kitty and putt it across the room!
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: there is no difference is there? The group came up, with Max Keiser as their defacto leader, "We can pull ourselves up by our belts", whereas that is a physical impossibility, yet people believed it anyways because other people "said it was so". No?
deadweasel: but if you're already running putty, i know how to fix the keyboard fkeys issue.
deadweasel: i forget the settings tab
deadweasel: ya, change to xterm r6
thestringpuller: i'm using putty too
taub: yes, the window for order entry doesn't appear
dub: deadweasel: can you run the native feed without paying?

taub: yea, i can sell, but the buy function doesn't work dunno
deadweasel: did you put in the api key? gox --add-secret=
mircea_popescu: where's the difference
thestringpuller: can't type today
taub: somehow buying doesnt work on there for me
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu isn't that a different issue altogether, as you state in your fact, "You can't pull yourself up by your own bootstraps"
taub: but its easier to trade directly off the charts than to log into the site and enter the order every time
taub: well yes, it's just a link to mtgox
taub: hope their live trading gets rolled out soon
mircea_popescu: they were going to pull themselves up by their own pants.
ThickAsThieves: but that rgument seems to be used quite often by the right
mircea_popescu: in the case at hand, "we will all buy btc and the price can only go up because of it and so we will all become millionaires"
mircea_popescu: yet this is the "solution" of idiots since forever.
mircea_popescu: if those kids were to go to the teacher and say "We're not doing our homework and you can't punish us cause you'd hacve to punish the whole class", that's socialist bs.
ThickAsThieves: or maybe rely on group thought?
mircea_popescu: there's kids working on the same homework. this is also ideologically neutral.
mircea_popescu: listen, there's kids sitting togetgher in a class. this is ideologically neutral.
ThickAsThieves: i think mp's point may be when individuals release power of problem solving to a group
mircea_popescu: but what's "pure individual contribution" to do with anything ?
taub: it's not a "everyone has to do their share or else" kinda deal
thestringpuller: When I think of pure individual contribution I think of people like Tesla.
