mircea_popescu: it dun look like a tree at all.

mircea_popescu: it's this scheme to grow apple trees against a trellis

mircea_popescu: the dark secret is that investment in your part of the world is a no-no

mircea_popescu: an' seriously look into getting a pgp key an' join the crowd. lotta cool stuff going on here, most of which entirely unrelated to your chosen profession.

mircea_popescu: Corsets yeah, get your dime in a minute.

mircea_popescu: Corsets (bitcoin address i mean. 1blabla something a long string like that)

mircea_popescu: pretty good privacy, it's an asymmetric crypto scheme. allows you to keep secrets from, say, the nsa. and also to maintain a solid identity - unlike, say, usg identity papers.

mircea_popescu: incidentally, do you have a pgp sig ? you can just register it here and self-voice

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform she's a little troll isn't she.

mircea_popescu: sounds like a student huh.

mircea_popescu: Corsets what do you do for a living anyway ?

mircea_popescu: there's also a version you can run on your own desktop or server. pro version, as it were.

mircea_popescu: possibly better for you to make a website one.

mircea_popescu: o, if you're making a desktop one it'll take a while. chain's ~120 GB these days.

mircea_popescu: ah, it's just a sort of idstring.

mircea_popescu: it's a good thing to have anyway, you never know when you need it.

mircea_popescu: yeah well, i'm weird. anyway - yes, make yourself a bitcoin wallet.

mircea_popescu: well ok, it's like this online currency that governments can't confiscate, unlike papyal. so everyone with half a brain uses it to pay for stuff.

mircea_popescu: cool. so post your bitcoin addy, go write ac38270d on your tits, take a pic and post it. you know, like all those other girls. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: oh, and to play a little "guess the argentine" : "To learn English you must begin by thrusting the jaw forward, almost clenching the teeth, and practically immbilizing the lips. In this way the English produce the series of unpleasant little mews of which their language consists."

mircea_popescu: (amusingly enough, the best source re that "ancient observations" is probably ~= patristics. the substance of the eternal soul, the nature of sin, all that good stuff. for all its trite-ification in the hands of the same sort of people that also created family-friendly shakespeare, it is a very powerful philosophical item. fact remains agency is an imposition upon the gnosis, which is why intelligent people dun wanna be polit

mircea_popescu: we were discussing how "X is full of shit", but that X took values from a field of AGENTS, which is to say the people to whom history has meaning. and it was observed that the grave is the only cure for their shit contents. then you moved to talking about Y, but Y are no longer X, instead they are taken from a field of non-agents, historical memories.

mircea_popescu: a pile of evidence doth not a history make.

mircea_popescu: of course meta-rational is a thing. but sovereign reason is a very different thing from mere "reason" as peddled by the feminine usg & friends.

mircea_popescu: this is strategically disastrous for any living thing. imagine, cod taking "the correct route". this means -> scania. ouch. imagine person making rsa key, taking the "correct" key. ie what, everyone takes the same primes, because they're the largest primes that fit in the notation and so "best" and so "rational choice". it's exactly a matter of the "inverse of safety from numbers" thing we discussed recently.

mircea_popescu: you can't accept the premise as a theoretical construct to examine ?

mircea_popescu: truth is a thing in engineering. it has ~no bearing on the affairs of mankind. do you know why ?

mircea_popescu: and if you can't be caught, it's not a cheat.

mircea_popescu: it is cheaper for you to install a camera and "image recognition" than to hire a guard ; and the results ARE BETTER.

mircea_popescu: apple orchards now are constructed for robot. ie, tree isn't even recognizable tree anymore, but this lengthy thread on a stick.

mircea_popescu: today control is even cheaper than power. and the basis for humanity is vested in a % of a %, rather than "men" or "everyone patient enough"

mircea_popescu: THEN steam power rendered actual muscle irrelevant, but control wasn't good enough to supplant people. and so there was a brief period, almost a century in length, during which "humanity" ie, the ability to finely control complex mechanisms, was the basis of humanity.

mircea_popescu: anyway, the point here is : that for as long as "upper body strength" was the bottleneck limiting human civilisation, you had male citizenship. had females been advantaged by nature there, you'd have had female citizenship. they aren't, it's a cruel joke, watch slavegirls trying to build up muscle and weep sometime.

mircea_popescu: it is a disease of the dungeon dweller.

mircea_popescu: even if they were, it'd be more the fault of your mom not coming from a sufficiently slutty line of whores, to give you good immunity matrix,

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what do i catch ? syphilis ? not that i ever did, but it's a quintuple shot of biseptol. tuberculosis ? lmao. you can't even catch tuberculosis, there's a "must be this poor to ride" that train. what, exactly ? lice is directly visible.

mircea_popescu: THEN it was a certain way. but then and then only, at no point prior and - if trhere's any mercy in the heavens - at no point ulterior.

mircea_popescu: the reason the good count failed (which has little to do with his being a nut) is that briefly, economic conditions dictated to pretend the worms are "all people". that brief bubble burst, meanwhile.

mircea_popescu: i expect trilema is on a blacklist now.

mircea_popescu: mr mold got a job to do. much like mr. max, and every other capon in the history of "civilisation", he got a snatch he's chained to and belabouring to please.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's two kinds of men in this world. those who walk with their life in palm of hand ; and those who have a job to do.

mircea_popescu: (this also means that the postponing from here http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-24#1489088 just got posponed again. by another 50k blocks, ie ~a week. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: sms as you go. especially if it's for a good cause, such as bloating upstream code with random exceptions required to fix errors in downstream. you know, like windows does it.)

mircea_popescu: (once someone does it, whether they mine a block or not is irrelevant, tx now in mempool)

mircea_popescu: the cost of malleation is ~0, as long as you include a fee it suits someone

mircea_popescu: well you could see it then, too, just i guess meanwhile forgot ? anyway, there's a reason we did what we did and still as good now as then.

mircea_popescu: the fact is, the function sign(message) did not yield a single valid output. but two.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> mod6: nope. i said at the time that it was a Bad Idea, and for same reason - emboldened the ratfuckers << eh, not really how this works.
