bagehot: And also how those people define the terms.
bagehot: That's my first pass at an answer. That's not a question I've thought about before.
mircea_popescu: one interesting idea that came out here is that the people do not decide what either money or the economy are.
mircea_popescu: but vice-versa : money and the economy decide what people are.
mircea_popescu: !up bagehot
mircea_popescu: you should prolly get in the wot.
bagehot: Thanks! First, re: one interesting idea: Can you clarify 'decide'? One sort of sociological argument I've heard is that social systems cause specific behaviors to be present in people.
bagehot: Another argument I've heard is that thing like 'money' and the 'economy' exist as they are because of some constraints that are present in the natural world and so those constraints, eh, cause certain behaviors
bagehot: Its definately the case that some social systems cause behaviors in practically all people, although I suspect once in a while people manage to commander the board for a bit.
mircea_popescu: the latter.
mircea_popescu: just like gravity causes fishes to swim and birds to fly, just so money and the economy cause black people to be poor and jews to have long noses
mircea_popescu: or thereabouts.
bagehot: I suspect so, although, it'd depend on the natural constraint thats being put forth

Adlai: mpoe and bbet work, the others don't
mircea_popescu: o i c. right you are.
Adlai suspects it may involve a lack of dividends
mircea_popescu: could be
mircea_popescu: Adlai people associate shorthand names with keys. sorta like nicknames/callsigns work in the army/airforce.
Adlai: callsigns aren't a good example, being assigned for uniqueness (and sometimes other properties such as perceived cleverness or snake-oil information hiding
mircea_popescu: but that speaks to how they're assigned, the discussion was about how they're used.
mircea_popescu: dude polish looks like a fucking dragon wrote it down.
mircea_popescu: pm assbot !up
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo from what i hear, the entire polish embassy thing is bs. for one thing, they really didn't do much / nobody even knew existed. for the other, no police reports, or what exactly happened there ?
mircea_popescu: sounds more like a gay spat than anything, two people who figured "they" were the embassy or something.

cazalla: f5 and see if i make sense now
ben_vulpes: myeah that's a skosh better.
cazalla: i guess i could've done a better job of illustrating that these variants are mostly copy/pasta jobs
mircea_popescu: skosh lol
cazalla: mircea_popescu, hey, i learned a new word
mircea_popescu: this is how jewness spreads.
cazalla: ben_vulpes, btw, puta shop is closed sundays, so i'm gonna try to sync up blockchain on another machine. i stuck the memory in the other slots in this machine and memtest86 didn't detect any errors over night so might be the motherboard instead
cazalla: i mean, there are other shops around but they charge an arm and a leg for half as much
ben_vulpes: probably the right thing to do is to draw the parallel between braindead altcoin 'creators' and braindead copypasty ransomware operators. script kiddies, the lot of 'em.
ben_vulpes: keep on keepin on cazalla
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, yo funkenstein_ how much woodcoins does a btc buy me ?
