mircea_popescu: soo, somewhat interesting, maybe. 1984 was actually born at a precise place : "In nationalist thought there are facts which are both true and untrue, known and unknown. A known fact may be so unbearable that it is habitually pushed aside and not allowed to enter into logical processes, or on the other hand it may enter into every calculation and yet never be admitted as a fact, even in one's own mind." appears in a 194
mircea_popescu: 5 piece denouncing "nationalism". which, at the time, simply denoted what socialism (or "liberalism" as it usually self-identifies) denotes today : the ideology of stupid people.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile tyhe next paragraph is actually the valuable bit : ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "Every nationalist is haunted by the belief that the past can be altered. He spends part of his time in a fantasy world in which things happen as they should–in which, for example, the Spanish Armada was a success or the Russian Revolution was crushed in 1918–and he will transfer fragments of this world to the history books whenever possible. Much of the propagandist writing of our time amounts to plain forgery. Ma
mircea_popescu: terial facts are suppressed, dates altered, quotations removed from their context and doctored so as to change their meaning. Events which it is felt ought not to have happened are left unmentioned and ultimately denied [Note, below]. In 1927 Chiang Kai Shek boiled hundreds of Communists alive, and yet within ten years he had become one of the heroes of the Left. The re-alignment of world politics had brought him into
mircea_popescu: the anti-Fascist camp, and so it was felt that the boiling of the Communists 'didn't count', or perhaps had not happened. The primary aim of propaganda is, of course, to influence contemporary opinion, but those who rewrite history do probably believe with part of their minds that they are actually thrusting facts into the past. When one considers the elaborate forgeries that have been committed in order to show that T
mircea_popescu: rotsky did not play a valuable part in the Russian civil war, it is difficult to feel that the people responsible are merely lying. More probably they feel that their own version was what happened in the sight of God, and that one is justified in rearranging the records accordingly."
mircea_popescu: replace "nationalist" with "socialist" (or, if you prefer to use the self term, "liberal") and note how the ideology of the stupid still behaves today in the manner it behaved then.
mircea_popescu: thus therefore : mozart had a sister ; there existed black people of import in history ; global warming was the consensus during the mini ice age six centuries ago and so on. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Both are Black supremacists.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The complication and number of steps you have to understand are "essential propaganda noise"
mircea_popescu: so wait. the black people that have no pro-grammar make the lives of blacks matter by opposing the campaign appearances of a white guy that runs against a white woman for the nomination to presidency of the democratic party ?
BingoBoingo: The hamplanet was black and Bernie Sanders is this cycle's prime food stamp candidate
BingoBoingo: Yes
mircea_popescu: so they have 0 to do with the lives of black people, being just another outsourced astroturf effort ?
mircea_popescu: and the only place where this matters is reddit, much in the way the only place you find bilge is down in the keel ?
BingoBoingo: "I'm not so prepared to dismiss this protest as "poorly researched" or "poorly executed." I feel like this protest follows a pattern that's so common in feminist and queer circles that we should recognize and expect it now: we critique each other to make our movement inclusive and intersectional, so that our spaces might reject all oppressive forms. When a queer bar isn't entirely inclusive to people that aren't cis-white-rich-gay
BingoBoingo: men, it's much easier to critique and change that bar into one that is inclusive than to petition the nearest straight bar. When Taylor Swift fucks up as a feminist, we call her out (yet we don't call out men or women who do not identify as feminist with nearly such vigor). Why? Because we hope that these people are much more inclined to listen and to uplift further marginalized people and movements.
BingoBoingo: When no candidate is in full support of your movement, it's going to be easiest to convince the one that is somewhat supportive to do a better job than to convince your greatest enemy to do a slightly less shitty job."

mircea_popescu: But here’s the thing – what’s powerful about these interruptions from Black women is less how it has changed the tone of the Democratic campaigns and more about what they have exposed in the White left.
mircea_popescu: I see these protests as less about the individual candidates themselves and more about how their White base refuses to center Black lives and Black issues.

mircea_popescu: sooo, i got a rather amusing internal report from reddit. it would seem that
mircea_popescu: a) very few entries actually get > 100 upvotes. as in, it's happened twice so far this year. b) the number of negative votes exceeds the positive by a degree of magnitude or more on average, and regularly by two degrees on "popular" items. when this doesn't happen it's always obscure stories with one or two votes.
shinohai: O.o
mircea_popescu: c) to cope with this situations the admins universally make up random vote counts ; d) to cope with the shortage of manpower this causes all sorts of exponential factorizations are used, which means that in practice a story is first "fast tracked" which means some admin ticks a box and from there on it gets all sorts of factors and additions
mircea_popescu: e) the system is pretty byzantine so that admins regularly can not predict what the results of their choices will actually be
mircea_popescu: f) they tried all sorts of experimental "harness the negative votes" but nothing could be made to werk
mircea_popescu: and finally g) they've been bleeding people from engineering at an ever accelerating rate since 2010 (or earlier) and by now it's so bad people leave during the first three months as a regular occurence. they briefly and unsuccessfully tried the "pay more" approach, it didn't do much, currently they've practically given up on the problem altogether.
mircea_popescu: along with all sorts of personally damning tidbits and a treasure trove of all sorts of lols. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: welll... no, not really "all sorts". "autistic usian" sorts.
shinohai: reddit is doomed to go the way of digg
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, no, because apparently all sorts of people (who otherwise have no money and no influence, which is to say - their inept choices ands valuations have stranded them irl) think it's incredibly important and valuable!
shinohai: Conde Nast I guess feels the need to dump resources into it.
mircea_popescu: these'd be all sorts of self-described activists, which in any other place'd be known as "political arivists" except this doesn't apply because they're actually too fat/lazy/lost in self to even have ambitions.
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's alltogether more layered laziness, such as, "if i give up the delusion that my activity on the rickety house of cards we call reddit matters, i will have to find other work to do as part of my being politically important, which is hard and risks requiring me looking up from the tablet or going out of starbucks. so let's instead pretend."
mircea_popescu: in any case, reddit's gonna die its own, livejournal-y sort of death. digg iirc died when it crashed against a thick brick wall of "nobody cares".
shinohai: You recall correctly.
shinohai: Anyone here used vee as a blogging platform ?

mircea_popescu: mats the true question is whether this is a test run and they hit it again more to the tune of 30-40% later in the year.
mircea_popescu: it's one way to fix their major capital allocation issues / bad provincial govt "investment" / valuable real estate on paper etc.
mircea_popescu: the most relevant part of all this to bitcoin being that price stickiness (principally, the stubborn refusal of old people to admit that real estate they once bought is not now worth what they paid for it) may very well require inflation as the best social solution. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: by a damned sight better than say, beatings. and it's altogether unclear an alternative to these exists.
mircea_popescu: balzac's french contemporaries (who were on the napoleon gold standard) pretty much used the beatings, which did make for great literature but really a rather miserable society. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: chiefly through the process of, the world of 1971 not being worth two shits in the terms of today.
asciilifeform: thought it was the reverse ?
asciilifeform: (how many current 'engineers' could pass 1971 exam? etc)
mircea_popescu: that's the conundrum.
mircea_popescu: see, admire the beauty of it. how much would an ipad be worth in 1971 ?
mircea_popescu: much enough that it was put in fucking star trek, right ?
asciilifeform: actually the folks of '71 would cry if shown one
mircea_popescu: the entire "apple stock could buy russia" is nothing more and nothing else than, "you could probably buy all of 1971"

asciilifeform: other than the decay and degeneracy
mircea_popescu: what educated ? i'm not selling to the educated.
asciilifeform: if selling to muppets, can find plenty today
mircea_popescu: you understand ? the society of 1971 is just as broken as this one, but not actually raped yet.
mircea_popescu: huge profits could be driven by raping it from the future.
asciilifeform: this is the plot for 1,001 cheap 'alt history' yarns, aha.
mircea_popescu: which is the point. the "1971 educated man" does not yet know he's an imbecile.
mircea_popescu: au contraire, he expects himself quite smart.
asciilifeform: except that they usually feature 1871
mircea_popescu: yet the continuation of his imbecility is exactly 2015.

mircea_popescu: looky where they lead.
asciilifeform: would they?
asciilifeform: or would they get 'goxed'
mircea_popescu: but that's the goxing - inflation.
asciilifeform: there is more than one way for idiots to lose everything
mircea_popescu: or rather, the hounds driving them into goxing
asciilifeform: spain lost its gold.
mircea_popescu: through real estate or w/e
asciilifeform: and not because anyone made more gold.
