radan: it's what bulgarian music would sound like if it wasn'
t for the turks, I think
radan: I personally don'
t consider macedonians to be my people
mircea_popescu: i would like to visit the paralel universe where the arab invasion of egypt didn'
t happen, and the original tall lanky egyptians still roamed free
radan: there hasn'
t been any turkish genetic impact on bulgaria
radan: I don'
t think the vlachs had any influence on modern bulgaria
mircea_popescu: as romanians don'
t really translate eastern stuff and happily ignore us stuff
Duffer1: wouldn'
t work without also a culture of shame
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves> if any one here were involved in Ethereum, they wouldn'
t be involved in Ethereum << that.
ThickAsThieves: if any one here were involved in Ethereum, they wouldn'
t be involved in Ethereum
Namworld: It can be hard to live a traditional lifestyle if the land required to do so is all claimed already and people won'
t let you.
Namworld: Fortunately, humanity hasn'
t blanket claimed desertic places like that yet.
BingoBoingo: ughlol: Also you don'
t want to see what happens when it runs out of good bait
mircea_popescu: ughlol don'
t overuse it, it's really here for the sec.
deadweasel: jesus christ, i haven'
t seen 'wanna cyber' in 20 years.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's mid semester, they won'
t be back for a few more weeks
radan: you won'
t be able to do that
Namworld: I've said as long as possible. Immortality is not a possibility. Even if you extended your life, the universe won'
t last forever. Killing yourself is always an option too.
radan: don'
t want to live forever
Namworld: I don'
t mind dying if that's what you're implying, or feel threatened by death in any serious way.
radan: I also think you really don'
t have a direction in life, but maybe you'll prove me wrong
Namworld: It doesn'
t matter if the whole of humanity doesn'
t work together. Humanity isn'
t a damn ant colony. Why would it work together as a whole?
Namworld: Even then, it's still because they're separated. People don'
t know it's ideal typically, and don'
t usually care about it. If they can'
t be assed to get to the next neighborhood to have sex and still speciation occurs, what can you do about it?
radan: you don'
t even know about parapatric or sympatric speciation
Namworld: So they don'
t come in contact with each other. That's when the get speciated....

t me I've got a PGP imposter

t want to invest in the genetic stock of another nation
radan: but your average person won'
t.
Namworld: activists don'
t achieve much at all
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: It isn'
t as onerous as some make it seem
Namworld: Did I ever define good as that? I don'
t recall using those words you portray me to have said.
Namworld: That you hear about it a lot in the media doesn'
t mean that the world isn'
t better than before. Sure those things happen. I'm not questioning it.
Namworld: Study history further before saying it isn'
t very encouraging. World has improved and it can still be improved.
radan: and what I've learned so far isn'
t very encouraging
Namworld: But the world ain'
t as bad as the medias portray it.
Namworld: Not that it doesn'
t need improving. There's no perfection that can be reached. There's always room to further improve.
Namworld: Well I can'
t say this year compared to the latest years. But on the longer term, the world is the least fucked up it's ever been, if by fucked up you mean things like torture, violence and such.
mircea_popescu: radan nobody is arguing that the us isn'
t miserable. most of all not thinking people living there
ThickAsThieves: alcohol is a mistress that way BingoBoingo, "The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won'
t exist"
radan: but I really don'
t think I would be unhappy in a traditional lifestyle
radan: but that isn'
t considered corruption here
BingoBoingo: Ghaleon: Corruption isn'
t always a bad thing
radan: it's just normal, here. I can'
t really think of an alternativfe
radan: it's just normal, here. I can'
t really think of an alternativfe
radan: I don'
t know how you do it in Wallachia
radan: I don'
t know what you mean by reculture, either
mircea_popescu: besides, the best fucks i ever had were with people who weren'
t particularly genetically close to me.
radan: I don'
t see anything manly, or even beneficial in a feminine way, from sticking with it
nubbins`: the word "organic" isn'
t even on the tags anywhere
mircea_popescu: quoth Lt. Barney Greenwald: "Ah, you're learning, Willie! You're learning that you don'
t work with a captain because you like the way he parts his hair. You work with him because he's got the job or you're no good! "
radan: see, I don'
t think there's anything manly about dying for a ridiculous cause
mircea_popescu: seems self-obvious, neh ? if you want to wear a skirt in the shape of a good degree or not being arrested, that's fine and dandy, but if you want to be a man you generallyt couldn'
t care less what you're wearing.
mircea_popescu: ok. so i didn'
t read your "i wanna go to syria" as a "turn for traditionalism"
Namworld: thestringpuller, she's probably paid to talk with people all the time. I don'
t see why that would exclude chatting session with relevant people to an article, like Mircea. Which happens to be mostly talking only in this channel, as he seems to have made his online residence here.
LordPutin: didn'
t you useto represent neobee tat...at the start?
mircea_popescu: if they can'
t figure out how to take donations at least let them have that satisfaction
nubbins`: they brought two moose over here in the 1800s, didn'
t work out, so they brought over two more
nubbins`: normally i get roast-style hunks of moose, but they're more like
t-bones this time around
Namworld: I think Silber was involved in Bitcoin way before SecondMarket thing if I'm not mistaken. Shame he doesn'
t hang out in the BTC channels.
mircea_popescu: anyway, ima go eat. don'
t break bitcoin meanwhile pls.
ReutersEmily: ok guys....thank you so so much for being so nice to me and answering my questions. i am going to get on the phone in a minute so probably won'
t be able to pay as much attention in here, but i think i'll stay signed in
nubbins`: well, i shouldn'
t say everyone
Namworld: Their problem, unlike Gox/others, they can deal. If they can'
t learn/adapt, they'll drop it.
BingoBoingo: ReutersEmily: Yeah, they just really pump each other's dubious ventures and collect money they don'
t provide accounting for
Neil: More evidence that money in your bank isn'
t really yours:
ReutersEmily: yeah i will hang in here. i can'
t believe 2 hours have gone by since i got to work and this is what i've been doing the whole time - ha!
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: i can'
t think of any other reason for a document leaker to modify the documents he's leaking.
Namworld: True, hard to verify when you don'
t have your own balance to verify against the leaked info (re hacked accoutns details).
ReutersEmily: i don'
t remember off teh top of my head what format that was in because it was my colleagues in Japan who took a close look at that
mircea_popescu: radan i never used them. people ocasionally call scam but it doesn'
t usually seem to be the case.
Namworld: Yes, that and they don'
t have much time to allocate to Bitcoin either.
Namworld: News people don'
t seem to hang on IRC too much, although who knows, maybe some of those silent people are from some news outlets.
Namworld: I haven'
t met anyone in this channel in person. At least not knowingly. But I haven'
t attended any Bitcoin related event to start with.
nubbins`: i've met none of these people in real life, and don'
t have any plans to
nubbins`: for example, i don'
t day trade, and i don'
t think most others here do either
nubbins`: ReutersEmily: in my experience, those who day trade don'
t really hold long-term, and vice versa
nubbins`: for example: if 1btc=$1m, i wouldn'
t need to "cash out" because i could just as easily spend my btc at walmart
mircea_popescu: "o x y z won'
t invest in btc" "dude, it matters not if they do it directly or tyhrough n layers abstracting it from you, it's still what's going on"
Namworld: But I haven'
t had time to think about this topic in details to form a specific or resilient opinion of the matter.
ReutersEmily: mircea_popescu i know. i don'
t know each of the cases well enough to be able to say they were "all correct"
Namworld: But at the same time, if you need to work hard to earn through Business, why shouldn'
t those who have information through working hard not trade on it? Why prevent use of such information? I would perhaps only agree to go against management insider trading in case of catastrophic scenario (undeclared losses/bankruptcy), where management would probably both have ruined the company and
