mircea_popescu: "Programmers have indeed created a universe where "science doesn't work." Learning where the permanent bugs and workarounds are inside a phonebook-length API teaches you nothing. It is anti-knowledge. Where your mind could have instead held something lastingly useful or truly beautiful, there is now garbage."

assbot: How China's One-Child Policy Is Setting Nation Up for Economic Crisis
mats_cd03: an aggressive china would be interesting to see...what would they take first?
mircea_popescu: doubt they really need to. besides, they're playing this game of humiliating the us,
mats_cd03: i guess there are going to be a lot of gay chinese men in that generation
mircea_popescu: you're using some sort of prior here im not privy to. say wut ?
chetty: lots of 'extra' men makes for good wars
mircea_popescu: china is traditionally a sort of dog vomit (the fungus). it doesn't really war.
chetty: dont think the issue of lots of extra menn has come up before, might twist traditions a bit
chetty: wow, there might actually be something new under the sun
mats_cd03: a society designed for rigor mortis, in some ways
bounce: meh. I thought that china /wanted/ a smaller population which naturally includes a smaller workforce. so how that's now a problem eludes me. unless "economic growth" is part of your religion, perhaps.
mircea_popescu: bounce you will have to appreciate idiot western peoples, even without any help from the propaganda machine, automatically interpret phenomena in a certain key.
mircea_popescu: so you know, arab women are unhappy because they don't live in the downtown on foodstamps, which has to be better than what they got because what else is the speaker doing there ?!
mircea_popescu: and certainly the chinese have "problems" they never heard of. similarly to how putin "doesn't understand how reality works".
chetty: well the age spread of the population may cause some issues, even if you ignore economic growth
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 18550 @ 0.00075141 = 13.9387 BTC [+]
bounce: on another note, we've had quite a lot of skillfully-hidden-in-the-numbers inflation that's well above the official growth rates. thus depleting both savings and hiding an effective economic decline
bounce: also, we are running headlong into the aging workforce problem now; china has a while to fix it and by that time can steal all those smart carebots the japanese are building
chetty: lmao, not so hidded, unless you tend to believe usg published numbers
bounce: I think china's sitting prettier than we are.
mircea_popescu: bounce china is sitting prettier than everyone for the very simple reason that it has the absolute lead in all technology.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't cost THEM fifty trillion to try and fail to build a new airplane.
bounce: if by "lead" meaning "has a copy of the plans and can cherry-pick the ones that work", yes
mircea_popescu: no, i mean the us has transferred all its technology there in exchange for cheap labour but under condition it shares the tech
mircea_popescu: if you pour from a to b but never from b to a, you can bet your ears b's gonna be fuller.
bounce: at the same time they have a serious plaggiarism problem (they copied "publish or perish" too, bwahahaha) so long term they're risking stagnation
mats_cd03: you perceive the flow isn't imperceptibly happening in the other direction, too
mircea_popescu: and china is liable to continue on the course that brought it success, humbly begging for what it wants, rather than suddenly swich to the course that sunk the us.
mircea_popescu: even if the us imagines that now that china has the better car it should drive it the same way it drove its own, right into a wall.
mircea_popescu: china's parents woudn't approve, and moreover china doesn't want to be either stupid or in possesison of a car wreckage.
mircea_popescu: bounce perhaps not very creative, yes. perhaps that may matter. if it will, it won't be this century.
mircea_popescu: the romans lived a millenium out of carefuly implementing the greek ideas.
chetty: inventiveness is not a high point of china, doubt they will come up with any new ideas
mircea_popescu: careful management and patient attention is good enough for a lifetime.
mircea_popescu: chetty i will tell you one new idea they came up with. they made the astoundingly daring move of organising their defense on sane grounds. china is surrounded by about a million rockets.
mircea_popescu: there's no way to effectualy destroy these, and there's no way the us aircraft carriers could survive an hour in a hostile china sea.
bounce: it'll be a while but it'll be stuck a goodly while too. a thousand years of stagnation they've already had.
chetty: well I wouldnt call it novel, but it does seem they read history better than most

mircea_popescu: (and europe pushing china out of their galileo thing was incredibly stupid, but then again europe is chiefly remembered in history for astounding stupidity)
mircea_popescu: people can get by for a while just making good use of the history book.
mats_cd03: the memory of your enemy on your shores is something that stays vivid for a long time
mats_cd03: ive been thinking about space exploration. are we going to carve up mars into nations? or, perhaps further into the future, every nation gets its own planet
bounce: in the current set-up with deliberate inflation it's... not a good idea.
mats_cd03: think of the experiments we could perform over millenia.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 14850 @ 0.00075141 = 11.1584 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: so then why mars specifically ? why not real estate 5000 feet underground.
bounce: also, "reaching for the stars" is much more appealing than digging hobbit holes
chetty: people wont go 'to the stars' until they stop squabbling over pieces of pie on earth, ie never
mircea_popescu: or unless earth goes to shit to the degree of making mars look like freshly shaved virgin pussy
mircea_popescu: you could live on the antarctic right now, if you fancy paying 2k for a bottle of fizz.
mats_cd03: close enough to menace earth and there might even be resources
mircea_popescu: fuck, you could live in that "gulch" real estate scam.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform tell you what, you know what an indentured servant is ?
mircea_popescu: no way in fuck you're going to be a "sovereign" on a planet you just colonised.
mircea_popescu: unless you make your own crops and your own space stations...
mircea_popescu: yes well, people don't undergo centuriesd of expense to fulfil a cartoon dream.
mircea_popescu: unless the planet is naturally hospitable, unless there's an angle somewhere, not happening.
chetty: unless of course some friendly aliens drop in and give us a ride :D
bounce: notice how india got there for less budget than that movie. and less than a third of a single "cheap, reusable" shuttle launch
mircea_popescu: bounce right, "<mircea_popescu> it doesn't cost THEM fifty trillion to try and fail to build a new airplane."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no need for rockets. you don't kill cockroaches with a .5
bounce: nobody's complaining that dollars are buying so much less in the developed world, though
assbot: Vatican Paedophilia Scandal: Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski Stored Over 100,000 Child Porn Videos
bounce: there's some outsourcing (and grumbling the work coming back is sub-par) and some grumbling about "jobs lost" and such. but the spacex thing is relatively recent, and I haven't really noticed much drive to cut the costs of the various wars being waged, for example. it's just... lower taxes, spend more, run up a bigger debt bill.
mircea_popescu: so nobody is complaining. like, i can hire someone for 2k a month because they won't complain.
bounce: what does the walmart employee make, across their three separate jobs minus the transport costs to get from one job to another? also, why do they have three jobs and still need food stamps?
assbot: Why Michelle Obama Was Wrong to Trash America at the UN
chetty: The next time Michelle Obama stands before an audience of countries where women are truly discriminated against—some forced to cover their entire bodies or have a male guardian with them in public—and complains that America struggles with “harmful cultural norms that tell women how they are expected to look and act,” forgive me if I’m a little embarrassed.
