mircea_popescu: because totally, this is how the pantsuit "
sincere regret" device works : gmaxwell is "sincerely sorry" about his 2011 "business" in his mind only wasting a buncha people's coins, therefore "mp largely slinked off into the shadows after one of his crappy businesses disappeared with people's coins".
mircea_popescu: and so on ad nauseam, let's project all our issues on daddy, that'll totally build such a wunderbar world as nobody'll ever want to live in.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: ^ is my current answer for that a) vs b) choice.
diana_coman: heh, might end up triggering more discussion but at least I got something out of those days' reading & mulling.
mircea_popescu: i'm out here reading through the bottom decile of the dcu rejected applications bucket.
mircea_popescu: "Some traveled path splits at times into such directions that one gets to wonder all over again what choice really means." << incidentally, this is how you even know you're getting anywhere.
diana_coman: lolz; I'll go to see to the child for a bit.

mircea_popescu: i dunno, the part where people of reddit are grandstanding offa imaginary high moral grounds re imaginary "child porn"... whole fucking alt-trilema that's reddit exists because of their unmitigated love for child porn. if it weren't for that dedication, the spearhead of unlaid dorkitude'd still be called digg.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how i enter into it ; but it's self-obvious that all the various would-be mini-republics will work the exact same way. they fucking have to, what.
hanbot: you enter into it inasmuch as you won't play the fucking-with-the-margins-enacts-substantial-meaning game with them, and it threatens the conscience, so you've got to be evil/Really Bad/etc
mircea_popescu: no, i understand why they have my poster up in the room or w/e. that, however, is where they enter into it. i'm over here.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it seems they're kinda stomping themselves over there, would-be #reddit alt-tmsr l1 is getting massacred in their attempt at creating a narrative. i guess it helps
being persuasive, if you're gonna try and lord huh.
diana_coman: I found it funnier re "trilema.com is word salad" tbh; I'm not sure there's much more to it than that though, not even sure what would "persuasive" mean in their context, exactly.
mircea_popescu: these dudes wanna talk about word salad ?! it's like some crow living atop the city dump "criticizes" suburbia for disorderliness. i dunno a whole year of recent logs packs as much salad as they manage to stuff in those 6k misfortunate words.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: that's why I find it funny; precisely because of this "it's so much further away than that, that we'll call it ...that; a sort of heat seeming cold and the other way around.
mircea_popescu: apparently nature depends a lot more on ring buffers than anyone previously realised.
hanbot: mircea_popescu: damned near. my tolerance for the sorta shit seems to have gone down. i need a hazmat suit or something (or a chill pill, heh).
diana_coman: alternatively, it may also be that they simply take the words/expressions (word salad) (because ...well, they work, right?) and then they proceed to use them as it seems to them that it "should" be; (I kind of got to see this in action with that shrysr guy).
hanbot: lol inferring the meaning of terms via one's own, forced context --the natural consequence of growing up on inferring meaning from the text's context!
mircea_popescu: i'd guess trying to read trilema without being actually literate (which specifically denotes the ability to follow emergent codification from the text) should be pretty fucking trippy.
mircea_popescu: yeah, the more i think about it the more i'm persuaded : this is the problem, fellows got FIXED codecs, tryna apply them results in ~random noise within a few steps.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: your
comment seems to have gotten somehow mangled and/or truncated (it has a part that repeats)?
diana_coman: re links from the logs, I should have added the content properly formatted with links included, indeed.
diana_coman: fixed aka added the links to the text I cite in the article; the archive copy you provide is also useful as it further adds the refs on tarabostes.

BingoBoingo returns to hammering the servers into serving names in sync
mod6: BingoBoingo: Cool! Updated. I take it you still have 192.187.99.74 too, or does that need to be removed from the list?
mod6: Yeah, forgot to :wq the thing. Should be good to go now.
