bounce: the inglis went "think of the children" and instituted pr0n bl0kcers at ISPs. you can "opt in" to pr0n (do note weasel wording, if it's not in the law it certainly was in the draft) by telling them you're a pervert and provide proof (of age, by CC, when you apparently were old enough to enter into the contract in the first place)
mircea_popescu: (this chapter includes scamming, incidentally, which explains why large corps in socialist/welfarist governments and internet scammers stumble on the same tropes)
bounce: this above and beyond the bgp-related fun wrt the "internet watch foundation" k1dd13 pr0n block, which you can't opt out of
pankkake: to censor a website, you had to sue all ISPs and force them to do it - now there is a secret list of censored websites, and no specific purpose (i.e. it's not restricted to pedonazis by law)
pankkake: censoring a website is also just an administrative decision
bounce: yes, that bgp. it apparently does a number on sites co-hosted with blocked sites

bounce would settle for less idjits in politics and striking lots and lots of laws from the books, as it's pressure group induced and a hard reboot would be rather messier than strictly necessary

mircea_popescu: i should be so fucking lucky, walk from here to the bathroom, be ready for the olympics.
bounce: nah. I don't think we're all that desperate (yet), and since the problems come from a rather well-defined section of society I'm not really willing to let everyone, mostly /other/ sections of society suffer for it.
bounce: provided we do manage to excise that bit. if we can't, we can always escalate.
bounce: so far it's mostly them making themselves impossible.
mircea_popescu: so then you don't really have half a leg to stand on here, do you.
mircea_popescu: those /other/ sections of society have to be bled for their indolence.
bounce: you're assuming revolutions work like clockwork and arguing that therefore precision strikes aren't to be preferred over carpet bombing with daisy cutters
bounce: I happen to not buy into that idea
mircea_popescu: i am assuming that precision strikes aren't to be preferred because punishment must be disproportionate and impredictable to work.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the weasels plan and account for it aforehand.
bounce: not in this case. we can always carpet bomb later. even if doing that now would preclude the expense of precision strikes
assbot: Economic cycles finally explained pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
bounce: they'd be aimed at the wrong target, and I'd rather try this targeting thing first
mircea_popescu: bounce the argument here is that "later" is meaningless absent and sort of process, and that precision strikes are a liability not a +ev move.
chetty: carpet bombing takes a lot of ammo, are they worth the bullets?
mircea_popescu: chetty i thought we were discussing metaphorical bombs.
bounce: the result needs to be worth the expense, not the victims
chetty: even so, effort = ammo
mircea_popescu: chetty but in these matters, "precision strikes" take effort. carpet bombing, on the contrary, does not.
mircea_popescu: you just decide "this entire culture must die out". least possible effort.
bounce: then again it's the well-connected that'll survive best. ie, our targets, them politicos.
bounce: so you'd have a new culture made up out of the same arses all over again
mircea_popescu: the problem is not the people, the problem is the structure.
mircea_popescu: in a world created of tailored punishment and precision strikes, the incentive is for the bullshit you see.
☟︎ chetty: a few years (generation or so) break at least
bounce: so with different structure we'd get better ideas bubble up to the top?

mircea_popescu: also, the politicos are arguably the least well connected of anyone.
bounce: right. apparently I misremembered and ended up even more apt than intended.
mircea_popescu: this is a subtler point, but probably the best way in is through considering the "nothing sinks a good startup as well as bad revenue early on" observation
mircea_popescu: politicos are wrongly connected, which makes them worse off than were they poorly connected.
bounce: oh, there's hope for the non-connected in politics then. provided they found a way in.
mircea_popescu: bounce yes. their hope is simply this : that people like you stop believing there's any value in saving the innocents.
mircea_popescu: the innocents exist, as a category, for the slaughter.

mircea_popescu: bounce that is your flaw, and the flaw of the society you live in generally. you reflect each other. the problem is that "precision strikes" as you call the category work amazingly well in technology. as the most technologically successful group of people ever, contemporary whites have come to worship it.
mircea_popescu: what'd you think of a shaman coming to do architecture with his shamanistic beliefs ?
mircea_popescu: becuase that's what i think of you, approaching politics wholly ignorant of politics, with an expectation that your voltmeter may do something.
punkman: Morozov has a few things to say about technological solutionism, not sure if worth reading though
mircea_popescu: punkman kind-of an obvious sidepoint i guess, even kant has some pages about how stupid this is.
mircea_popescu: goethe has a coupla aphorisms on the topic as well if memory serves
punkman: this guys is making a career out of it though
bounce: but I like my voltmeter!
bounce: nah. asking what method would be a better one is still valid.
bounce: just saying "shake it all up and hope something better comes out, this one fershure is darn shitty" isn't, you know, very inquiring
mircea_popescu: (shove it, ie, well if you like it so much and wanna apply it to everything why aren't you doing THAT with it too)
mircea_popescu: inquiring means that which has the quality or the form of asking a question
bounce: just like asking for ways to measure effectiveness of ideology-driven political government would open up the way to comparing alternatives
mircea_popescu: in·quir·ing /inˈkwīriNG,iNG-/ adjective: inquiring showing an interest in learning new things. "an open, inquiring mind"
mircea_popescu: in another decade it will be impossible to even talk to the children.
mircea_popescu: bounce something hinders you from reviewing the historical record ? other than, of course, the dictionary problem i've just re-re-rediscovered, for my sins ;/
bounce: it's clearly your sins that are holding us all back. repent, etc.
mircea_popescu: well let me be a pompous ass all the way then. "for my sins" is perhaps the oldest, and thus original ironic use of a phrase. at the time four centuries ago religious sentiment was still both strong and strongly in control. people like
mircea_popescu: de Baskerville, devoid of any faith but roughly interestred in the paraphenalia such as the libraries would say such things
bounce: "for my sins" the original irony. don't let ms. morissette hear it.
mircea_popescu: anyway. individual use is certainly earlier, shakespeare et all, and probably existed during the romans but i just don't know of it.
mircea_popescu: but afaik this is the first instance of irony-the-meme
bounce: the thing with reviewing the historic record is that it isn't very good experiment content, if you will. turnaround tips on a similar theme: takes too long to evaluate effect for an interested outsider, much less teach much toward a desired or at least desirable outcome
mircea_popescu: so you can't even speak latin to the barristers these days, then they wonder why the republic is in shambles.
mircea_popescu: consider this simple point : rome was, for a millenium and change, a larger town than the majority of us towns ever were or ever will be.
mircea_popescu: and they ran it. without electricity. without the combustion engine. without refrigeration, or pumps.
mircea_popescu: you try this, seriously, make new york work without electricity for a year.
mircea_popescu: what, you think people haven't lived together before ? they have, but their recorded experience is lost to you. this isn't their problem. it's yours.
mircea_popescu: you're not very good at experiment content. nature is nature. what, quarks are very good at experiment content ?
mircea_popescu: no, just, physicists actually work at their actual profession.
bounce: how did I say it was their problem?
mircea_popescu: ah. well when you try to discard a metric shitton of experimental data on the grounds that you can't read it...
bounce: no, all I said was that it isn't very good data. it's incomplete and moreover biased. reason enough to look for more ways to get more input.
mircea_popescu: anyway, if us bureaucracy today were about on par professionally with the roman bureaucracy in the times of nero, way past the expiration date of that state, ron paul would have an epiphany and would be introducing bills for giving lincoln posthumous honors.
mircea_popescu: bias in philosophy doesn't work like bias works in physics.
bounce: it's only just about the first thing aspiring historians are taught. maybe they're a faith-based bunch? who knows.
mircea_popescu: what's the first thing i say here ? "who the fuck are you and what makes you think you have something to say".
mircea_popescu: and aspiring scientists are always taken aback. "how can he say this!11"
mircea_popescu: bias here is exactly contrarily : taking random joe blow seriously as if he were a human being.
mircea_popescu: every particle, you must take seriously, as if it were the entire fucking world, and one particle is enough to disprove an entire theory, in physics. sure.
bounce: in history it's more like you only get half the record: the story told by the victors, those that survive to literacy. you don't get a lot of the failures, or even the successes that got eclipsed or had their records destroyed for whatever reason.
mircea_popescu: but taking every nobody seriously is the recipe for complete and utter failure.
mircea_popescu: the rest is not wrongfully discarded, and it's not even merely discarded : it is *properly* discarded.
bounce: so burning down a library out of, say, a fit of religious extremism, would be "proper discarding"?
mircea_popescu: it is uninteresting and unimportant what the helots thought of lacedemonia
bounce: yet random joe blow breathes and can make language-type noises, can't he?
mircea_popescu: if he can then why isn't he. your average scammer, he can make ipo-type noises, can't he ?
bounce: you're not listening yet warming yourself on the fire?
bounce: I think you just lost me.
