mircea_popescu: this is
true, actually. generalplan ost was some choice rib of insanity re political sociobiology.
they were gonna make a New Bavaria in odessa like "the englishers" had made New York in missisiauga
mircea_popescu: note however
that "moscow whip" is a very dubious item altogether, at least in
the case of actually authoritarian regimes. ceausescu drove gorby mad with his "what apologize, you fucking apologize, fucker, i wasn't
there."
mircea_popescu: funny, it seems
to me about half of
them grasp, on some level. one in six or so even arguably states some variant. but
then again i mostly read
the french/ro/czech/jugo set rather
than
the russian/polish/whatever.
there is some north/south division among
the stalinvictims vaguely similar
to
the east/west division of zee franks.
mircea_popescu: (and yes, "the other"
there is very much l'autre, from sartre
to levinas)
mircea_popescu: it certainly is
the fundamental public purpose for
the blog : it illuminates where
the author is, currently, so
the other can direct fire. (the private purpose is exactly
the same : it illuminates where
the author was at some arbitrarily selected point in
the past, so
the same author can, later in life, interact with more of himself
than his memory provides).
mircea_popescu: on
the contrary, it opened up an opportunity for
the above discussion. or more in general : activity is never wasted, even if it rarely delivers what it seemed it will.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, i can't see why not. you just shouldn't have expected
to get all
that much from it, which i don't gather you had expected. so no harm no foul.
danielpbarron: should i not have made
the review? not even watched
the film?
mircea_popescu: they were fucking
tuna cans, what. you'd die in
there at a light breeze exactly like steel helmeted ww1 monkeys.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-31 17:21 asciilifeform: incidentally in what country are
there cabs with back seat passenger arm rest ?
mircea_popescu: as a factual matter, driving casualties existed in
the 80s among warsaw pact signatories ; and yes "speed unadjusted
to driving conditions" was universally blamed.
mircea_popescu: it's fucking
true!
the dirt roads of behind
the iron curtain barely permitted 35. and yes, i miself survived a crash at
twice
the speed. so wtf were
they
thinking ?
mircea_popescu: in any case, it's what makes danielpbarron 's review
thoroughly horrible : he
tries
to watch
the already juiced matter (no,
the film of
the book wasn't very good, because americans) with completely ahistoric eyes, and wonders how
they managed
to die in car crash on
those roads, you can barely go 35.
mircea_popescu: cetera etcetera, it's a whole pile
there, with solidarnosc raisins in a light samizdat confit.

trinque: danielpbarron: eh you know, I was going
to call
the book
the (apparent) movie is based upon garbage, but gears began
to
turn, and if recollection serves,
the
thing's a passable depiction of what happens
to meaning in
the aftermath of destroyed structures of authority, a la mircea_popescu
mod6: Glad
to hear you're feeling better.
mod6: how's everyone doin
today?
BingoBoingo: ^ Anyone else remember when
this guy was evening news material?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Take heart,
this is not
the only mega-lol in
today's magazine
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform It's a single
tweet: @hanno 'Saying "our protocol and API is fine, it's just
that everyone uses it wrong" is not a particularly good defense #efail #gpg'
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ^ pretty lulzy prehistory -- usg is burning
the vuln in
the most
traditional way, complete with 'responsible disclosure'ism and a boeck-style 'researcher' ; nao spinning in every propaganda organ in unison as 'pgp broken!' << Apparently @hanno has a
take on
this
too
that sums
to
the rest of
the party line "who could be using
this with hygeine?"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Mirrolade, etc and other lulz are kinda why I would like
to see
the asciilifeform
take on
this one
BingoBoingo: Today is shapping up
to be a heavy lulz day in
the early going between Italy and Iraqi politics
BingoBoingo: AHA, I was just getting ready
to write up "Vulnerability In Common Email Client Handling Of Decrypted Plaintext"
a111: Logged on 2014-08-16 02:27 mircea_popescu: by now i can sorta distinguish
the noobs from
the veterans because
the noobs send me gpg blobs with "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;" mixed in, whereas
the veterans just neatly paste
the pgp in
the email body.
ben_vulpes: esthlos: it is very useful
to leave
them around;
the kb wasted in /tmp are negligible and useful in edge case failures

true king is a later invention, actual process is "choose king amongst yourself", and failure
to do so is stupidity
trinque: it's been
ten years since I cracked Kundera, couldn't say whether he intended said depiction, or it's just my own digestive process
that says so
trinque: the narcissism of each character is cartoonish, but here we are amidst even more cartoonish pieces of shit claiming
their bundle of infantile urges is an identity.

their enemies?

mod6: srs aventure
this weekend
mod6: Thanks for
the help all.
mircea_popescu: afaik
the idea is
to go
to our own rsa eventuyally anyway
esthlos: question for all: should
the gnupg
temp files be deleted in all_ cases of a failed press? perhaps someone might want it for debugging?
esthlos: trinque: gonna
try
to get most of
this
thing done
today
mircea_popescu: rat lacks
the capacity for work. it can do "work" in
the physical sense, of ef-delta-dee. but in
the social sense, work is directed activity not merely activity undirected.
mircea_popescu: see,
there's a difference between work and activity.
they're not completely inactive, yes, but
they do no work. cuz work is when you know what's gonna come out. if you don't know what's gonna come out, it's fucking not work.
mircea_popescu: they get fifty, run
them all, pick whichever result looks least banged up and
there,
that's gonna be
their wife now.
mircea_popescu: this is
the fucking problem : man who can plow an acre who got a square mile, can't start on plowing
the acre he can plow because waiting for
tractor, except can not
trust item he receives actually plows anything. -> famine.

trinque: lol what claim? go, divide.
mircea_popescu: basically,
to answer
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-11#1812588 :
they're a) not doing it because b) if
they
tried
to
they'd run out of
time before
they'd run out of divisions and
therefore c) waiting for someone
to d) collapse
this AND OTHER SUCH
things into a more manageable super-idea except e) quid custodiet, which is necessarily at odds with
the requirements of b-c, and
therefore
the whole
thing's paralyzed.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: in
the end,
the remaining "value proposition" of jewish outlets is, "all put
together a penny or
two, and we'll provide a harem for all of you!"
mircea_popescu: n-theoretical : when
there's more ideas
than mental capacity for juggling ideas, one's stuck
trying
to pretend like
they're some kind of me, sitting atop a complex apparatus fine-tuned
to provide
them with summaries and classification.

though mostly quoted for
the fundamental prpblem --
these are college educated or educating esltards (maybe not ALL at MIT, but if you're on
the internet.en you're either out of or currently in college) WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW
TO BECOME MILLIONAIRES.
mircea_popescu: aaanyway,
the problem isn't even
the demographic-theoretical identified
there ("when
there's more mice
than social roles, mice society collapses, because
the demands upon
the role fillers are overgreat wrt individual mice biological capacity ; and
the path for
the role-aspirants is no longer clear, which definitionally is what "society has failed" even means,

This is a serious scam and he is playing rich with MY money. 2012 I invested a lot in his
Tygrr-bot. I
thought it sounded like a cool arbitrage bot. It was hard
to go profit and a lesser amount was lost
to exchange failure.

a111: Logged on 2018-05-12 01:59 mircea_popescu: 2018 web is ~= 1988 disco or 1968 "rock&roll".
there's no beatles,
there's no elvis,
there's just you know, "rock and roller Little Richard performing in 2007" ie wikipedia.
there's fucking F!TV.
mircea_popescu: "In Stand on Zanzibar, John Brunner’s 1972 novel of a hyperactive, overpopulated world, society is plagued by “muckers,” individuals who suddenly and for no obvious reason run amok, killing and wounding others." << now
the uncomfortable question becomes, whether
that's
the actual problem of 2018 because
that's what
the people of 1972
thought it will be ?
mircea_popescu: i find
this eerlily apt.
the fundamental fact of
the neet isn't
that it's alienated ; but
that it lacks
the capacity for alienation altogether.
mircea_popescu: "Individuals born under
these circumstances will be so out of
touch with reality as
to be incapable even of alienation.
Their most complex behaviors will become fragmented. Acquisition, creation and utilization of ideas appropriate for life in a post-industrial cultural-conceptual-technological society will have been blocked."
mircea_popescu: (there was actually
the mf global issue right in between
there, as an intermediate stage)
mircea_popescu: exactly nothing. but sometime between Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and groupon
they actually gave up on even pretending
to prosecute fraud.
mircea_popescu: which all
the fucktards who hyped it feel no need
to ever mention again ;
they'll just reuse
the hype with s/groupon/apple/g instead.
mircea_popescu: oh, but it was invested in
the great opportunity of groupon
