mircea_popescu: except of course all the old farts are completely moroning hellspawn a la
jwz, rms, ers, etcetera
mircea_popescu: they should have built an army in the 90s, rather than go for weakass
jwz-catering.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-14#1862400 << #1 thing you do, is you TALK TO PEOPLE! there is no
jwz way out of politics. if regrind hurts you, tell them not to fucking do it ; and if they won't listen tell whoever will listen to not follow the new thing. and so fucking on.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: in short, it's better because it produces no things and lots of words -- the ideal state for the
jwz. that's what neil simon wants of life, yes, a situation where no things issue but as many words as possible.
mircea_popescu: that remarkably-like a town background for every
jwz's jwzing.
mircea_popescu: in front of this, whether we idly decide that he's just dumb or actually evil, ie, his brain dun work like in the case of say bernstein ; or his brain doth work, but he deliberately attempts to shannonize republican words into imperial outcomes, a la curtis yarvin,
jwz, whatever.... well what fucking difference does it make.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: usg trying to leverage the fact that idiots stick together whereas intelligent people
jwz, into this situation where they keep shitting turds larger than what you can fit in head and so "one man's guess is as good as any other's" and "we don't actually know it's a scam" hurr durr.
mircea_popescu: whole pile is actually a lot of wank in the general vein of, "r
jwz, how to survive the coming of mp"
mircea_popescu: this then induces two possible errors in aproach. the situation where the solution is over-span, which we generally call "overengineered" ; and the situation where the solution is under-span, which is pluriously referenced as
jwz's error, but is not substantially different from
http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=spreading+works or the airplane that can take off, and flies well, but can't land.
mircea_popescu: not mechanical, no. just the principle of the thing --
jwz's indications of "required" are worth exactly as much as
jwz itself.
mircea_popescu: there's a natural tendency to do the right thing that needs lengthy and elaborate stamping out before you get the full blown
jwz.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
jwz's own history, self-serving as it is, nevertheless seems accurate to me : mule is what was left once all the inept
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suspect this was at the time the true problem :
jwz wanted to unicode the japanese way and rms didn't even understand what's being discussed (which -- major fucking failure for the role, incidentally).
mircea_popescu: ok, here,
jwz variant : emacs 18.48 released 18sep1987!!!! off which they started epoch, and 18.55 off which they based both 19 and through that venue lucid version
mircea_popescu: the gui focus of their endless flamewars was dumb and not particularily flattering, netiehr for the gabriel/
jwz side nor for the rms+retarded eurobois side
mircea_popescu: i can;t fucking believe
jwz and daveg are seriously discussing doubleclicking wiuth the spacebar
mircea_popescu: but he doesn't see this, so in he falls into pantsuit sink, "getting personal about profession is tremendously annoying" etc. no it's fucking not, jesus christ,
jwz restated. have a better personality instead!
mircea_popescu: the epicycles, before removal, a) had a history whcih b) was understood by the removers. the "alien problem" is how lazy
jwz say "i don't want to read", by and large.
mircea_popescu: arxive is
jwz through and through. most all of it is crap.
mircea_popescu: he's a typical schmuck, a la
jwz. wants a comfortable existence and really, all these complicated shits scare him shitless.
mircea_popescu: the fact that elites failed to defect is a very sad testament on the structurally broken in the head nature of postmodern elites. something we know as
jwz-ism today, but has preexisted
jwz.
mircea_popescu: you know, like
jwz. or like teh people on #bitcoin-assets pre dragon call.
mircea_popescu: you eat too much, you get fat ; you
jwz, you get pissed on. shouldn't be so hard.
mircea_popescu: ie, better than all the lazy fucks sitting on ass dreaming their
jwz/djb dream
mircea_popescu: well the tall aryan swedes should have thought of this before going all
jwz and djb.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am not of the persuasion that poettering, ie, out and out wrecker, is in any sane sense worse than
jwz, ie, "i'm just going to silently and passively enable the valence idiots".
mircea_popescu: ordinary
jwz must have no alternatives. otherwise... ordinary
jwz will pretend he exists.
mircea_popescu: which is in itself a very amusing commentary on the toils and travails of the
jwz gang. they... rescued netscape. and it did... netscape.
mircea_popescu: now then, leaving aside the offensive inferiority complex women/nonwhites have towards white males : the guy has a point (mit media lab, which apparently got new leadership, a little smarter - and a little less female - being where ethereum retardation is hatched). the
jwz is by now radioactive, a bunch of kids who can't subdue a girl their age, let alone a herd of adult women, want things to be about how it's ok to go around
mircea_popescu: there's a lesson in this, where being a
jwz dun pay. gotta pick sides, loud and clear.
mircea_popescu: (conversely : search is a political tool, nothing else. "i just want to"
jwz doesn't exist in practice)
mircea_popescu: because that's a key ingredient of "i just want to" - deciding various arbitrary bits (especially ones the
jwz doesn't well understand) are "small matter". which decision then drives poor resource allocation and is the deep reason for the festering morass of unsolved problems that should have been ; while tons of herbivores run around "revolutionizing" things that needn't on the shaky in reality but strong in perception found
mircea_popescu: "Keep in mind we do all this, because we can and because we like the thrilling excitement of winning over the other competing groups. We absolutely don't do all these releases, to please the general user that rather want to spend their cash on updating to the latest hardware, and see's the scene releases as a source to play all these games for free." << all the way down to despising the consumer / i just want to
jwz.
mircea_popescu: what postel thinks'd be chaos, much like what
jwz thinks'd be chaos, much like clinton or whoever other of these niggers and jews thinks to be "chnaos" is actually human life.
mircea_popescu: no mention of the logs or anything, of course. because overly ambitious, intelligent but idiotic ro-
jwz can has ideas all by himself and of his own! so there!
mircea_popescu: it only exists because of
jwz training of smart kids, making them want to "cleave" brains and responsibility.
mircea_popescu: something that may appear as a subcase but i believe is not (not that the dispute is all that relevant) and in any case is more numerous is the
jwz : the fellow that "just wants to" keep right on being lazy.
mircea_popescu: i can't say i've ever spent any mental time aiming not to be
jwz.
mircea_popescu: no, as a general rule drones hang for what they are, queens hang for what they did. there's really little other than "he's
jwz" needed to hang
jwz.
mircea_popescu: the problems only begin when trinque goes on a
jwz rampage "i only wanted the offspring to sprout, not rob the store".
mircea_popescu: what rock have you been living under! teh
jwz chorus won all the wars, what.
mircea_popescu: eh i can't be arsed ; working on ticketizing and who the fuck is this
jwz.
mircea_popescu: notrly. the concern is that the
jwz is easily discouraged, and rather than take reasonable steps, he takes no steps, "because it's not worth it anyway"
mircea_popescu: but the
jwz shit can't really be taken out of the
jwz shithead.
mircea_popescu: no gpg, no wot, no personal security like that nisman idiot, no independent voice ->
jwz, you know it.
mircea_popescu: also - idiot had no actual power. i can already see a
jwz in the making when someone is "on twitter". bitch, you don't own twitter, and when you'll want to embarass the handler they'll just mothball it.
mircea_popescu: which, should be pointed out, is the fate of ALL
JWZ's. whoever doesn't get butchered at the hands of the accursed state they so promoted, will be butchered at my hands once i'm done raping the state.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hopefully the derp kills himself and there's one less
jwz in the world.
mircea_popescu: no, looky. if the case is that the knowledge vessel was a
jwz, which is to say all juice no politics, then the truthful rendition of the situation is, that the knowledge in question was removed from its unstable situation, to a more sensible one. otherwise, if the vessel in question is a balanced construction, the attempts to "remove" run into the age old "nsa can't hold bitcoin and stay nsa" issue as discussed in the logs.
mircea_popescu: fucking army of
jwz over there, "just wanted to". debian comes last after sun and fucking sales force ?
mircea_popescu: i take it's because you were too
jwz to have invited him already ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the tenuous thread of theo's own person is not enough to keep this shit together, because he's too
jwz-ish to engage the more important half - politics.
mircea_popescu: i actually support throwing a spoke or three in the expectation of
jwz that "struff works"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i happen to agree. there's absolutely no reason usg.
jwz has any business touching bitcoin at any point.
mircea_popescu: in other news, would any of the brighter minds present explain the
jwz piece to me ? i have the feeling he thinks he's being clever, but i lack the resources to comprehend the intricate minutia of his idiocy.
mircea_popescu: it both perpetuates the
jwz "i only want to" class and it creates the "i know nothing and have some oppinions" class of stolfi/swanson/etc.
mircea_popescu: for as long as there's even the faintest hope of maybe one day scamming someone, every last human being is 100%
jwz.
mircea_popescu: "good guys" gotta at some point comprehend the
jwz future is no future.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i actually enjoy the butthurt tears of the
jwz twerps. "oh, we can't pretend nothing happened now ?!?!?! hurrrrrr"
mircea_popescu: neither
jwz nor mass spectrometers nor anything else has any bearing here.
mircea_popescu: let the good people of
jwz nation run "secure" "homowhatever" computers.
mircea_popescu: asshole comes from a three generations line of
jwz "i only wanted to...", and now he doesn't like the just dessers ?
mircea_popescu: these idiots gave it all back because they gotta be
jwz.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the guilty is always
jwz. and for the obvious reason, too. "only wanted to X"
mircea_popescu: the morally responsible is
jwz, not bush not anyone else. yes the president is getting beheaded, that's how symbolics work. and it is the job and the duty of the politico class to play the goat.
mircea_popescu: must be a pretty fun, exciting and fun vacation for the
jwz's in question.
mircea_popescu: that's what the
jwz dood quite typically told me : that he "doesn't care about whatever political bone i have toi pick"
mircea_popescu: and you know exactly how it'll go : the usg horde will derp their derpage, most idiots of the
jwz ilk will "not want to pick the political bone" and so on and so forth.
