phf: rich hickey is a common lisper, i met him at philly ete back when the language was still in flux, and thought that his pedigree is going to be a benefit to the system that he's trying to build. not so. he made similar rationalization to gosling "such and such feature is complicated for the end lusers, so i decided we're not going to support it" re readtables, exception, proper type hierarchy, etc.
mircea_popescu: how do they have sex, these people ? "this part of the penis she might feel, please ablate" ?
phf: i suspect thinking is "i can trick her into having sex with me, by making myself bland and non-threatening"

mircea_popescu: (for the record -- first "company" to announce bitcoin mining asic was the ndrangheta scam of sony vleisides ("butterfly labs"), an ex-con dealing while under supervised release in breach ofr the terms of that release which the "tough on crime" usg has never yet prosecuted.)
mircea_popescu: that happened in june 2012, ie, dorks read trilema, figured they could pull off the scam of offering faux variant of item, and went for it.
mircea_popescu: the point here is that some unworthy criminal organisation daring to pretend to sovereignity has the unmitigated audacity to refuse to prosecute known criminals and then try and talk to me about whatever inept fucking hussles it came up with that quarter.
mircea_popescu: there is a reason mp doesn't think much of usg "law enforcement", and that reason is in the vein of the healthy man not thinking much of the sexual competition by the bellhop of notre dame.
mircea_popescu: and that time ain't going a-fucking-way just because hurr, five years passed and there's a new generation of woke dumbasses.

mircea_popescu: " The androcentric scientific and meta-scientific evidence that the penis is the male reproductive organ is considered overwhelming and largely uncontroversial."
Framedragger: "The paper was ridiculous by intention, essentially arguing that penises shouldn’t be thought of as male genital organs but as damaging social constructions. We made no attempt to find out what “post-structuralist discursive gender theory” actually means. We assumed that if we were merely clear in our moral implications that maleness is intrinsically bad and that the penis is somehow at the root of it, we could get the paper
ben_vulpes: "...and is the conceptual driver behind much of climate change"
Framedragger: "Some references cite the Postmodern Generator"
ben_vulpes: i salute the noise-floor raising achievements so displayed
Framedragger: "We intended to test the hypothesis that flattery of the academic Left’s moral architecture in general, and of the moral orthodoxy in gender studies in particular, is the overwhelming determiner of publication in an academic journal in the field." noshit.jpg but also applause.jpg

ben_vulpes: didja throw wires, or pete_dushenski's regrind of the getpeerinfo backport or any other strange into the tree?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger come to think about it, the logic actually follows. nature is red in tooth and claw. the hysteria of "removing the red from nature's tooth and claw", usually sold by the "our democracy" lunatics as "rule of law" or equivalent, directly runs all the way to "male penis is not reproductive organ but social construct".

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: thx for the latest activism piece! very much enjoyed the call to arms. now, to figure out how to do away with fiat banks entirely...
pete_dushenski: it makes a respectable five-year plan if nothing else.
mircea_popescu: rather. just like you know, taking back alimentary independence is making the girls capable to cook anything if need be, not everything all the time.
mircea_popescu: quite a different story to be eating out cuz want to eat out vs cuz want to eat.
pete_dushenski: big time. i rarely eat out because between the girl at home and the chef girl at the office, restaurants just seem slow, overpriced, and less amenable to my sundry whims and fancies
pete_dushenski first read alimentary independence as alimonial independence, figured that bitcoin was as staunch a defense against prying states/spouses as anything
pete_dushenski: if only greenspun wasn't so old, jewy, and busy with winblozboxen, he could shut up about 'no-fault divorce' and how 'banging school principal in mass. is a better career choice for girls than medicine' and just suggest the only right and proper remedy to that particular poison pill.
pete_dushenski still guiltily checks greenspun's blergh once a week, isn't always disappointed
pete_dushenski: there's something strangely appealing about reading the musings of nearly sentient middle-aged gentleman of the fiat persuasion. they're just a bit too over the hill to be here, but were they fortunate to have been born just a decade or two later, they would've/could've/should've made fine republican specimens.
pete_dushenski: i'd put taleb, greenspun, tyler cowen, russ roberts, and matt levine in this camp.
pete_dushenski: jeez that group is 80% jew by mass and the other 20% is still eastern mediterranean. fuckimbiased!
pete_dushenski: "It was designed as an impregnable deep-freeze to protect the world’s most precious seeds from any global disaster and ensure humanity’s food supply forever. But the Global Seed Vault, buried in a mountain deep inside the Arctic circle, has been breached after global warming produced extraordinary temperatures over the winter, sending meltwater gushing into the entrance tunnel." << no one fails more
mircea_popescu: somehow oddly it's not "our inept activity ruined a previously fine natural space".
mircea_popescu: they get a free card. certainly NOT their bumbling idiocy digging the thing in the first place sent gushing meltwater. o no. not that.
pete_dushenski: or "no one told us building DOWN into permafrost was a terrible idea so it's not our fault, we couldn't have known"
mircea_popescu: i suppose next stop is angry newspaper articles about how global warming burned a bunch of the lychens in some "artist studio" somewhere. because it totally was not the piled up dry garbage.
pete_dushenski: and "global warming caused lice to infest my body hair"
ben_vulpes: i gotta point out that a lykkin is far more likely to have a mortgage and beer belly by 23 than to shack up with artists who might make awkward social situations what with the dating multiple women and other such unspeakables
mircea_popescu: basically they stumbled on metaphysics. very comfortable, all this.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes such a disjunction was originally predicated re hackers and hipsters. guess what - 20 years healed the rift.
mircea_popescu: there's no reasonable expectation that 2017 "hacker" can add ; there'll be no reasonable expectation that 2040 "artist" can fuck, or locomote.
ben_vulpes: in my experience the hipsters now live 3 to a room and the corporate "senior javascript engineers" have the mortgages
mircea_popescu: maybe the problem is just senescent myopia, i fail to distinguish a hipster from a web designer from a "backend engineer" from an etc.
ben_vulpes: no lykkin would ever think themselves a 'hacker' omfg, waste time soldering things together they can buy pre assembled?
ben_vulpes: we all know the alexas are relaying everything to the nsa's stats machines, "whatever, man, i just wanna get some more point on my steam collection"
mircea_popescu: and every tiresome hipster thinks himself at least a little hacker. reddit and wikipedia is practically a hax already yes ? LIFEHACKS!
ben_vulpes: eh, "ux expert" more likely to be a bad artist than js anything
ben_vulpes: ugh this thread is just comparing kinds of roaches
mircea_popescu: are you thinking "plastic artist" specifically, or do you include all the dorkage, "performance" etc ?
ben_vulpes: no the kinda guy who played in bands in his early twenties and then got hoovered into $deathcorp because he can string passable sentences together and shit out the odd mockup.
ben_vulpes: and now paints, buys paintings, designs his remodels himself
mircea_popescu: yeah, this would be "plastic artist", ie, painter. but there's also the you know, "performance artist", ie, tramp.
mircea_popescu: or however you call in english the hooker/pickpocket combo.
mircea_popescu: how ~do~ you call it anyway ? the "hates men and capitalism" tomboy that'll beg and if desperate fuck for pay ? like that mentally ill nut with the "scum manifesto"
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski street urchin is devoid of secondary sexual characteristics.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: dats true. maybe street whore. or street slut.
pete_dushenski: the 'street' is definitely important in conveying the vagabondiness so associated with pickpockets

mircea_popescu: you know, i'm sorry to rain on anyone's parade, but this "skeptic" "post structuralist gender theory" piece is perfectly fine from said perspective. makes fine sense to me. the whole exercise is not so different from "proving" that, eg, newton letters are "pompous" and "improper discourse" because a) he uses a lot of symbols and purpose-made constructs and b) some of the stuff it says is counterintuitive to the layman. with a
mircea_popescu: n added c) it is coherent with the rest of the crap his nutty mathematician friends do, so clearly that's the only reason they say "they can tell the lion by his claw".
ben_vulpes: the part where it passes peer review with wholly fabricated citations is pretty funny though!
ben_vulpes: reviewers ask for more examples, authors literally make more up. "oh okay! much better."
mircea_popescu: but this sort of bureaucratic scribble is very much not in the vein the matter is taken. nobody's seriously interested in the fact that citations are bullshit -- they're bullshit throughout and this is by and large accepted and deemed acceptable as seen by the whole

mircea_popescu: his position was ~same : this shit makes no sense to me, shouldn't make any sense to you, and in any case should have no temples (ie, public expenditure).
mircea_popescu: every religion is similar to every other in the fundamental points that a) it is only accessible to the "initiated", the bar for which is never so low as to not demand the subject WANTING TO get it and b) public expenditure (not necessarily in the shape of coin) is not driven by any sort of efficiency paradigm.
mircea_popescu: now, obviously the protest will be "but mp, your example with newton is scandalous, math is a fucking science". yes, it is. in theory. in practice it is not, as far as every non-practician is concerned math is a religion by definition, and what's worse -- even as far as brilliant practicians are concerned! because what else do you make of

mircea_popescu: then again newton himself was not so very impressed with math ; certainly not impressed enough to favour it above his religious studies.
mircea_popescu: in fact, the "being impressed with science" thing is rather ~same blather as "being impressed with state", recent gaselnita.
mircea_popescu: "i dun care what you fucking idiots say, show me the proof of this, the logic of that, who counted these beans, wtf are you doing!"
phf: we have periodic threads on scientism also, "i fucking love science", dawkins army, scientific realism, etc.
mircea_popescu: in any case, before getting angry and taking a hatchet to the b) above, consider that the possiblity of loving a woman is strictly dependent on, you've guessed it, public expenditure not following efficiency paradigm.
