trinque: "why, they sit at a big table in a skyscraper and shout 'business!' at each other"

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751237 << aha, and to think about the various symptoms individually, is rather like thinking of each individual fractured bone in d00d dropped from a skyscraper, as separate injury ☝︎

asciilifeform: sorta like the indian in mircea_popescu' skyscraper essay

mircea_popescu: basically, instead of trying to achieve the moon-height skyscraper by investing in material rigidity, invest instead in a sort of... fault tolerance i guess you'd call it.

mircea_popescu: i don't care you sat on your tatched roof in mongolia and thus "dreamed" of skyscraper.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278246 << this ~has~ to be some kind of disinfo. it seems impossible, like hearing about a demolished skyscraper un-exploding, an egg un-breaking and picking itself up from the kitchen floor and sliding back into the chicken ☝︎

asciilifeform: a gigantic stone on which you can build a skyscraper also 'handles great organizational complexity'

asciilifeform: after that, it's merely a matter of 'build skyscraper'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's point about the 'excluded middle' ( http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=13-06-2015#1163457 << thread ) is valid, but it simply means that we are falling from skyscraper and trying to invent parachute on our way down. ☝︎

asciilifeform: or at least, like a skyscraper, but sorta inverted

ben_vulpes: i've been working out of a client's office on the 27th floor of this skyscraper downtown all week, and every time i walk outside i'm struck with gut-level desires to insulate myself from the people derping around outside the building.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: they aren't published for the mundane reason of 'i paid $maxint for skyscraper, why should others live in it for nothing'

asciilifeform: like the doomed office plankton jumping from a burning skyscraper, they don't much care where they land.

decimation: where's the skyscraper that has filled with squatters and shit?

asciilifeform: !s skyscraper

asciilifeform: wouldn't the increased fiat pull of btc today compensate? e.g. for 30k btc one can build an actual skyscraper - which proceeds to fall...

mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete consider the case of a street where some idiot builds an unstable skyscraper.

ThickAsThieves: let's go hang out in that empty skyscraper

asciilifeform: the sane people version: 'built a skyscraper. here's what it'll cost ya per sq. m. come in?'

asciilifeform: maybe i'm just behind the times. but, picture some bozo: 'i'ma build a skyscraper. here's lots of pictures of my bulldozers, cranes! here's some cement mixers!'

asciilifeform: why not 'skyscraper height'? 'megatonnage of nuke you have the codes for'? etc

Vexual: a crazy psychiatris wrote a long book, and a normal human is expected to see a penis where a skyscraper is?
