mjr_: most
teams will lose 60 games and win 60 games
mircea_popescu: even if
the person agrees with you,
the subconsciouis needs
to be straightened
too
mjr_: but you can still
treat people decently...everyone here has been very nice
mircea_popescu: nah. peopl;e are practically made out of
two halves.
there's a beast within
mjr_: they have
to be paid...
mjr_: the one with
the force is
the one with
the most peolpe
mjr_: is
that at
the end of
the day
mjr_: but
the way i see it
mircea_popescu: jborkl i have seen people change first hand. it involves chains and whips
tho.
mjr_: "almost all
the
time"
jborkl: people do not change, I have
tried for 20 years seeing it. A reformed meth head, will be a meth head again -almost all
the
time
mjr_: it used
to
take years for a caveman
to be able
to
troll another guy on
the other side of
the country
mjr_: for example HOW we
treat others like shit
mjr_: but does
the life
they live, what
they do and how
they do it not change?
mjr_: they also did nice
things
then and now
mjr_: but i
think
that yes, people will always be people,
there will be shitty people, stupid people, evil people, good people, smart people
jborkl: People killed,scammed and did
the same shitty
things 1000 years ago..they will do so again
mjr_: you are welcome
to your opinion
mjr_: and
those will forever change in ways we can't predict
jborkl: No, I am not suprised- I expect people
to do shitty
things
mjr_: but if you are a rational person...people respond
to incentive and disincentive...
mjr_: and i am saying if you
think
that you have seen everything
that life can possibly
throw at you...expect
to be surprised
mjr_: to say
that computers were expected based on history...or
that
they didn't change
the world...is just not possible

talking shit a long
time ago...

that is why we got
those computers
the cavemen invented AGAIN

troll boa
mjr_: has
there ever been an empire
that avoided collapse in response
to its
treatment of its citizens?
mjr_: my point being
that although we can learn from history,
to
think
that it contains all we need

mjr_: since
they are by definition
the largest earthquake on record
mjr_: every record setting earthquake could not have been predicted using
the past
mjr_: yes, i have never seen a black swan so
therefore i never will see one
dub: people have it so backwards, when we give aid
to africa we are simply repaying some of
the AIDS
they gave us
jborkl: and when in
the history of man has
this been elimintated
mjr_: take
that away and
the people have a much stronger footing
mjr_: but seriously, corrupt governments rely on
their control of
the currency
jborkl: yes,
that is what i was
thinking
mjr_: and make sure
the aid gets where we meant it
to go
mircea_popescu: poverty is great : without poor people
there's absolutely no way

time on reddit why

think
they specifically mean, stop governments from stealing from
their people

than bitcoin, but
this is an idea whose
time has come
mjr_: because it will help
to stop poverty
mjr_: bill and melinda gates foundation's new push is
to move

think
there are dumb people all around
mjr_: oh, sorry we sent
that reject, you set your
tag 55
to mpex
mircea_popescu: this has got
to be like... liberal logic or something.

tried
to use FIX...mpex is a LOT easier

think
they had pretty UI on
those
terminals

to 4 mill
to get on NYSE
mjr_: i am allowing you
tochoose my product or not
mircea_popescu: "Yeah, do
that...convince multimillion dollar companies
to
trust you with
their shares, make a secure system, garner a large enough user base
to provide liquidity. Sounds like
that would be a lot easier
than paying 30 BTC"
smickles: (lol, i even expected it
to
tab-complete minecraft)
smickles: heh, yeah,
too much hardcore minecraft

to be) 325 btc buys

trying
to explain

Lyspooner: no one would read
the mpex subreddit based off of
today's mpex link

mjr_: and where would
the money go mp?
mjr_: i was
thinking an mpex subreddit
mjr_: i wonder...can you do
that on a subreddit?
Lyspooner: and now matthew n wright is soiling
the forums again

to fix it is have a 3btc registration fee
Bugpowder: reddit is a
terrible place, has been for years

the bot bids were down, so I lost .03 BTC on
the play
