mircea_popescu: No more; and by a sleep,
to say we end
the heart-ache, and
the
thousand natural shocks
that Flesh is heir
to? 'Tis a consummation devoutly
to be wished.
To die,

To sleep, perchance

trilemma.
mircea_popescu: everyone sooner or later encounters
the "To be, or not

the question: Whether 'tis a) nobler in
the mind

the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or b)

Mocky: that sounds like an interesting effect. I don't see
that I'd ever come
to even
think about such a
thing on my own.
mircea_popescu: babylonian for finite and self-chosen arbitrary intervals at a
time i relieve
the pressure of sheer insanity
the complexity of reality would otherwise force upon me".
a111: Logged on 2018-05-19 19:11 mircea_popescu: Mocky, so we know you've not spent any considerable
time in
the field between literary
theory and hermeneutics, however you'd call it. "advanced reading".
mircea_popescu: the only known pill
to
the mess being a sort of encapsulation, "the worldview from x priors
through y structure is z" ; which is why disciplines such as
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-19#1815636 are even interesting
to
the
thinking man. it's not
that "in reading ancient cuneiform i gain a new skill of flour and water mixing into novel bread", but it is
that "in managing

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: how often it can change while
the individual remains realised (as opposed
to "derealized", as in
the psych
term of art) is a subjective measure, in
the vein of "intelligence", and a much better predictor of future performance
than most anything else.

trinque sees
the complexity, because what, you want
the young males
to change
their mind every
time
they encounter words
they don't understand? of course not.
mircea_popescu:

that is ~exactly~
the problem.
the subjective notion of
the self, while factually incorrect, is psychogenic noise emergent from a certain stability of worldview. it is simply ~impossible~, not "undesired" or anything of
the sort but strictly speaking impossible for
the worldview
to change with arbitrary frequency.
☝︎ douchebag: However, I'm not sure if
that's a fight
they will be able
to win in
the longrun
☟︎ douchebag: A decentralized solution such as bitcoin would be great for
the world and for
the future, however I
think it will
take some
time before it catches on more. As decentralized solutions begin
to catch on,
the banks
that print currency are just going
to continue
to fight it
douchebag: Well, obviously
there's always going
to be some sort of economy. As far as central banks go, I
think it would be better off without
them - however, I'm not sure if central banks are going
to disappear any
time in
the near future.
douchebag: I'm not
too sure I really have an opinion on
that, what do you make of it?
trinque: central banks printing money so
the people of walmart can buy "content", pressed shitboard, plastic, etc
trinque: douchebag: what do you make of
the notion
that
the "consumer economy" will not last forever?
☟︎ esthlos: I don't have much more
to say on
the matter
esthlos: but, I see
that you come here, bunch of lords rate you negative, and no indication from you
that you detect a personal deficiency
esthlos: hmm, I don't know you well enough
to speak
to
that.
douchebag: trinque: Well
that's why I argue, if
the other person can prove me wrong I'm more
than willing
to come
to an agreement.
esthlos: douchebag: but
think about it, what % of
things
to you
think 20 year old making 35K a year working 60 hrs/week is right about? you're not looking at
the evidence
douchebag: trinque: Well, I don't
think my over confidence is necessarily a coping mechanism. I'm not afraid
to admit when I'm wrong, however I'm a very strong willed and I'm not afraid
to argue if I
truly believe
that I am in
the right.
trinque sees
the complexity, because what, you want
the young males
to change
their mind every
time
they encounter words
they don't understand? of course not.
☟︎ esthlos: will be ready for (another) review
tomorrow evening
trinque: yeah, I didn't even know about
that feature myself, very cool.
esthlos: btw
trinque, have made most of changes
to vtron, just have
to add mkstemp for ccl (which I know
thanks
to phf is #_mkstemp)
☟︎ trinque: the recitation of lines one might use at a
tradeshow, etc.
trinque: douchebag:
the lack of reflection on what is a coping mechanism in you, and as far as I can
tell no reflection whatsoever,
that's
the deficit
esthlos: I don't want
to keep rambling. my point is, I
think you're somewhat irrational, and your approach is weak supporting evidence
to
that,
though it's a step in
the right direction. hence you're a -1, not a -3
trinque can relate
to mustering overabundance of confidence merely
to cope with
the sea of shit he was born into.
esthlos: right, but
that goal only gets you past
this barrier, not all
the others. imho you'd be better served with a goal of "get better", so
that "resolve any issues" is really "what can
these people
teach me" rather
than "how can I make
them see my
true form of pure energy"
douchebag: In addition
to
that, I'd like
to know what
those issues are so
they don't occur again
douchebag: Well, ultimately I'm
trying
to resolve any issues others have with me.
esthlos: well what I really want
to know, is if you ask because "negrate is bad, let's get rid of it" or "what flaw might
this guy be seeing
that I can repair and come out superior?"
douchebag: Well, is
there anything I can do
to resolve my negrate?
mircea_popescu: but outside of
this, wot ratings are very specifically not intended
to converge
to a unified ruleset.
esthlos: my view flipped around when I finally encountered people who were clearly superior in a quite
towering way, and I realized
that in
too many ways I am closer
to ant
than boot wearer
mircea_popescu: esthlos, it fits directly, "i have a small amt of information of relatively low confidence re
this guy (1) and it is negative (-)".
esthlos: arrogance simply because you're pretty clever compared
to
the dogshit around you
douchebag: What attitude are you referring
to exactly?
esthlos: of course, I got what, at least 5 years on you? but I'm not sure if my rating should reflect _potential_ or current
timeslice
esthlos: now look, esthlos is not all
that much better in some ways, but
the attitute you're expressing is exactly what I'm
trying
to fight off
a111: Logged on 2018-05-20 18:36 douchebag:
that's my name
esthlos: (though it is exactly
typical of a young guy in
the situation, but you don't want
to be like every other bozo, right?) plus,
the spam with
the whores annoyed me, and cutsey shit like
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-20#1816061 , and doing
the minimum possible
to get a job done multiple
times
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 00:37 douchebag: ben_vulpes, esthlos, and danielpbarron - is
there anything I can do
to
to repair my reputation? Let me know, and get back
to me.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 01:37 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, would you prefer he web-submits rather
than just spitting out a
tarball for you ?!
douchebag: mircea_popescu: When I
try
to load
these keys into phuctor, it just asks if it's a real key
mircea_popescu: for completeness :
to my eyes, disinterested as i am re rando impotent sadists,
the lulziest bit re chikatilo was
that moment when both
the defense attorney AND
the prosecutor indicted
the judge as being fucking clueless.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, would you prefer he web-submits rather
than just spitting out a
tarball for you ?!
☟︎ lobbesbot: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: it's altogether doubtful
the history of mankind includes such an item as
the "success story".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i am satisfied he's not yet found a means
to answer
this even for himself. so... premature concern.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-19 22:54 mircea_popescu: mind
that
there's no point in putting a bonus on "not checking notes".
that's why
they're notes,
to be checked. let memory adapt naturally and unconstrained -- when
the animal you inhabit has had enough of
the motor effort
to check up $X, it'll memorize it ; and before--- it checks.
mircea_popescu: it's just an engineering like any other -- you build a mental model of what's going on, make predictions and verify
them.
mircea_popescu: the point is
that you gotta
talk
to whoever you're
talking
to, not
talk "in general".
a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 00:17 douchebag: Not
to mention, I'm only making $35k/yr and I work 60 hours a week
mircea_popescu: the one allowance
to be made here is
that ~not for everyone~. some people -- genuinely content
to.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 00:12 douchebag: For fucks sake, I know a 17 year old who has made $70k
this year alone
mircea_popescu: and yes it's strictly wrong
to
think "math has fields", but
then again kuhn explains
to you why
the spurious arbitrary structures are ~needed~.
