TravisPatron: pete_dushenski claims I stole his article entitled 'Does Time Back Bitcoin or Bitcoin Back Time'. In response, he posted a completely uncalled for comment on our website - I responded by giving him due attribution to his article because his article sparked my interest - far from plagiarism. He then continued with rude comments and posted a completely unprofessional article on his Contravex blog. The article I wrote was never stol
TravisPatron: en, it was completely original. All of our work at www.diginomics.com is original and will continue to be. The bitcoin community has many enemies. We do not need to be making enemies of one another. The actions of pete_dushenski demonstrate his character and it is one not needed in this industry.
BingoBoingo: TravisPatron: But you have to admit, you are kind of a stranger to the actual Bitcoin industry

pete_dushenski: TravisPatron: pete_dushenski claims I stole << ftr you plagiarised, which is to stealing what not calling your sister back is to taking her virginity
mircea_popescu: "The purpose of the note isn't to convey information, it is to convey mood, and the seemingly random and contradictory positions he takes on issues is all in an attempt to win you, the reader, over to his side.

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: ok so travispatron grabbed a quote from an article of mine without proper attribution or link. i wouldn't have known had he not left a comment on my original article with an embedded link back to his rip-off. the gall. anyways, i do up an 'unprofessional' article clarifying the do's and don't of blogging and commenting. he continues to ostrich. life goes on for another few months. he hoity-toitel
pete_dushenski: y asks me for feedback on an article. i tell him do 1-2-3-4 and we'll talk. no answer. more time passes. then he shows up here with 'pete said i stole but i didn't', which i happen to agree with. he plagiarised.
mircea_popescu: so then he linked and whatever, isn't disputing you inspired him or w/e ?
pete_dushenski: all's well but the claim that 'pete said i stole', for whatever that's worth, which probably isn't much truth be told

mircea_popescu: 1. what is depression ? uhhhh ; 2. do you know how they measure it ? hamiltonian scale. most of which is sleep loss and weight loss. ; 3. do you know what zyprexa is ? "antidepressant", aka a sedative that fattens you.
mircea_popescu: jesus fucking christ this is going to be my go-to test-taking optimization example from now on.
BingoBoingo: 3. do you know what zyprexa is ? "antidepressant", aka a sedative that fattens you. << Only a thing, because the tend is nao labeling "depression" as "bipolar depression" when patients are a pain so this a the excuse to stick them on an anti-manic/anti-psychotic like zyprexa. Get them outta the civilized clinic and into the medicaid one
mircea_popescu: im not disputing that the system works within its own logic. i'm merely saying, that "logic" is neither self aware nor to be approached like a human endeavour. it's monkey business, bring chisels.
BingoBoingo: Olanzapiene (trade name: Zyprexa) is approved for acute mania, which in clinical practice turns into Bipolar in general. The side effects it shares with Haldol are gentler with Zyprexa, but introduces new ones like Da Beetus.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That is an insult to monkeys
BingoBoingo: Different doctor though takes the money for treating the Beetus
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo just between you and me and anyone who might care to listen in, i don't like monkeys. none, at all. would not object to a plan to exterminate all monkey types, nor do i see much value in preservation of images, records and such.
BingoBoingo: I'm indifferent to monkeys. Part of me says lets get rid of this disease vector. Another part wonders what they did to me other than Obola.
mircea_popescu: all through the "endangered gorillas" craze of the 90s all i could think was "these people seriously need better hobbies"
BingoBoingo: Gorillas are funny though in an ironic sense. 800 lb primates with inch and a half cocks and abrely any balls. Basically US police officers. Carl Mark Force IV in the fur.
mircea_popescu: i also don't happen to think that "anthropology" conducted on the various types of monkey has any value whatsoever. it's roughly on the level of freud's practice, bored rich impotent folk want to play with their cock "elevatedly".
mircea_popescu: sure, they have some value as rat substitutes for biological/biochemistry research. not much from what i can tell, rats are cheaper and faster.
mircea_popescu: other than that, "studying" monkeys to "understand" people is not unlike bugging the neighbour's appartment to "understand" why your wife cheated on you.
BingoBoingo: Mice faster still. Occasionally dogs and bunny rabbits, make still more specific targets than apes.
mircea_popescu: different fucking houses yo. and the usual ignorance with "we descended from monkeys" is particularly poignant.
mircea_popescu: no, we did not. both monkeys and us descdended from the same thing. which was not a monkey.
BingoBoingo: We didn't "descend" from them. We split after an angry christmas holiday.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, chimps and people evolved the same time interval, and separately. so go ask geese, for the same money.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> other than that, "studying" monkeys to "understand" people is not unlike bugging the neighbour's appartment to "understand" why your wife cheated on you. << Makes the basis of a number of pulp murder mysteries.
BingoBoingo: My narrative of the split is that brother chimp was happy with just taking the jungle fruit welfare, and brother man decided fuck that and made the ground his bitch inventing agriculture.
mircea_popescu: there's a huge gap between the split and agriculture. you're missing the voice, pastoral life, a lot.

mircea_popescu: "caring for her family was the most rewarding job [she'd] ever had" aka "my domestic slavery is a much more fulfilling, pleasant and empowering personal situation than your job will ever hope to get". that's what it is.
mircea_popescu: "o but we decided slavery is bad". yeah, like ballas decided killing is never right.
shinohai: Sounds like my ex wife for sure.
ben_vulpes: perhaps (iiuyc) it's the american tic of 'job'.
shinohai: Fulfilling because her fat American ass wasn't going to do any of that.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: how does 'raceysm' figure into this
mircea_popescu: because "raceysm" is the shorthand for a social convention, that's on one hand nonsensical, and on the other precludes people who are slaves from addressing their slavery as such. it must be called something else. because lo and behold, a person who does work for no pay at the behest of her masters is now "in a job" hurr durr.
mircea_popescu: what's wrong with just introducing yourself as "domestic slave" ? oh, i saw that in a film once. better call it "housewife"
mircea_popescu: o wait no, that's bad also. gotta call it what, motherjob now ?

mircea_popescu: "oh but being a slave is bad!11". sure. except if you believe this someone will extract value out of you by calling it something else. "but i already do that, you think this brand name medicine is worth the difference from generics ?" right-o.
ben_vulpes: yeah but i also don't care to have that conversation every single day

mircea_popescu: and getting back to slavery (as a historical consturct this time) and the subtle perversion of culture : in the ten billion discussions of how badly antebellum slaves had it that point out that they were being educated (misrepresented as "beatings" and horror, of course), how many stop to point out that a) they didn't starve periodically like their northern counterparts and b) if they behaved had lifetime, even GENERAT

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it is a collosal waste of time. the problem with time however is that it can be but wasted - whatever you do with it can not be traded for the time it took. not at a profit, not at all. so... waste, all of it anyway.

mircea_popescu: The conclusion I went to first was that there is some unconscious sexual element; not that the academics thought they were going to seduce me, of course, but that they derived some greater pleasure in answering the women than the men.
