mircea_popescu: diana_coman, the idea is to have the #1 college in the uk for whatever specialty of your choice simultaneously a) 0 tuition ; b) "we don't take your govt scrip here" ie off their bezzle circuit and

mircea_popescu: diana_coman, my thinking is that if you don't apply for bezzle, then it could perhaps be lightweight, easy to get.

mircea_popescu: leaving aside the philosophical implications of alternative-human-blockchain (which it is, yes, and which was LONG needed, hence all the 2013-era discussions of bitcoin alien inhumanity on trilema) -- this'll readily permit us to bezzle match the empire, because people can watch their investments appreciate here jsut as well as there.

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski considering the current bezzle pressure / overwhelming inflation and the very personal-brand-oriented populace, it will probably be 1bn just to be able to say 1bn. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: in the sense of hooli having put 2bn worth of bezzle through this particular set of papers.

mircea_popescu: not sure what's lulzier, the failed-female whining or the concerned-bystander "is college bezzle getting all it could get ???".

mircea_popescu: much like the russkis, what these other marginal orcs have to show for "their great empire" is a barely functional bezzle scheme. i don't even mean the financial part, intellectually speaking the whole us can be comfortably sat down in two lines' worth of "don't say nigger and state-god will provide", which is what, somehow different from "quote marx and wait for moscow" ?

mircea_popescu: i didn't even mean financially, that part is you know, necessary bundle with the bezzle. i meant actually in ideal terms. intellectually, ideologically, however you'd call it.

mircea_popescu: just goes to show the libertards are actual retards. who the fucking hell picks "headcount" over "metaphysics" as a tool to bezzle, if given the choice. and they did have the choice.

mircea_popescu: and by "things" they of course mean the bezzle.

mircea_popescu: reduction in spending slows down the growth of the bezzle.

mircea_popescu: that's the fucking problem. the bezzle rate = difference between real and nominal growth.

mircea_popescu: this notion that what you're exporting in a trade deficit situation is "the pound", ie, bezzle, is false. what you're exporting is always the value, bezzle always stays at home.

mircea_popescu: understand this ? at first there's 100 pounds of goods and 100 pounds sterling. then the uktards want to live above their means, so some bezzle is printed up, say a further 20 sterling. then the trade deficit starts, and in the next step there's 80 pounds worth of goods and 100 pounds sterling in the country. discounting the pound sterling from the original 1 to .8.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo except, of course, there's not going to be 3k enmilionaired, but a little campaign contribution for wi whatevers and a little extra propo for the bezzle fortunes of w/e the fuck is the oligarch in charge.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform look into small business papers sometime ? waht can i tell yoiu, the bezzle's the bezzle, it's what it does.

mircea_popescu: and no, you have nfi what real estate bezzle is until you rent for a while in shanghai

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it is, the problem with it is that 10% or less of the payola is paid out as bezzle usd ; the remaineder 90% or more is paid out as pats on the back, empty and baseless congratulatory verbiage and generally speaking psychotronic noise. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: no bezzle went into that nonsense.

mircea_popescu: best bezzle ever.

mircea_popescu: every empire's history is intimately predicated on the invention of some kind of bezzle.

mircea_popescu: (the divine part came from, not that she was subservient but that we had no substantial disagreements, which to them was precisely the same thing ; and didn't match their observations among the "truly successful" dudes of the locality (there's a bunch of people who got a fat old bitty from londonderry to move over, funnel some bezzle and build a house-foreigners-and-boat thingee). )

mircea_popescu: no, no. more bezzle : the new jersey lawyers get to pretend like they ACHIEVED ; the eff get to pretend like they mattered ; the students get to pretend they were cool.

mircea_popescu: let it also be noted that 1 billiard is the usg bezzle-gdp for about 80 years, and it becomes rather evident : nothing the shitstains of today can do could even conceivably come to matter.

mircea_popescu: basically the whole thing was about govt corps needing a new prop for their feltering bezzle fortune. and he acquiesced. and the idiots think he's a democrat.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, re the derp circus : as long as you publish on the internet, there's going to be some "businessman" trying to republish your content, and spam it around. none of this is particulary surprising or worth the mention or anything. not like original publication isn't firmly established. so let them beat up the wall until they've had enough or the bezzle runs out, whichever.

mircea_popescu: moreover, and more amusingly : notwithstanding pretenses of equality with russia, put forth on the very ridiculous basis of trying to compare bezzle-gdp of say italy with actual gdp of extractive economy ; the us is altogether not the equal of saudi arabia.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> straight bezzle play. << the world over, this.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform inasmuch as he steal speaks of "its money", orlov doesn't actually get the turkey dollars thing. he earnestly thinks that there is ONE kind of usdollar, and PART of that one is "wasted". whereas the situation in the field is that there's two kinds, ands the bezzle part can only be bezzled with.
