asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: -addnode works
asciilifeform: -connect --- no
asciilifeform: of course this is useless
asciilifeform: but shows that packets do move
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 4400 @ 0.00039312 = 1.7297 BTC [-]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it really ought not to be necessary to move blockchains with bare hands!
asciilifeform: that's what '-connect' is for
mod6: wow, just getting caught up here. have been afk for a while here today...
mod6: <+asciilifeform> now what i can't remember is whether mod6 already had this orchestra working <+asciilifeform> (with glibc+static) << v0.5.3.1-RELEASE basically is not true "static" build because of the gethostbyname() (DNS/libnss) calls in there. but was trying to build static bitcoind with uclibc/gcc on gentoo, was hitting a problem described here before. If you stripped out all of the DNS stuff and then did a build with gcc/glibc I'm thinkin
asciilifeform: mod6: msg got cut off
asciilifeform: at 'I'm thinking tha'
mod6: oh crap. ok sorry.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, i know. what can i do over here.
mod6: If you stripped out all of the DNS stuff and then did a build with gcc/glibc I'm thinking that would get us where we want to be; sounds like you've done that!
mod6: my pos car got a flat today, so I limped it up to the station to get a new tire & walked the ~3 miles back.
asciilifeform: mod6: there is still http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-06-2015#1179772 and also figuring out wtf gives with '-connect'
assbot: Logged on 28-06-2015 02:47:49; asciilifeform: (though i'd like to shoot that 'gconv-modules.cache' and 'locale-archive' crud in the head...)
mod6: only to find out that both front springs are broken (lol) and that's what caused the tire to blow out.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, ok if i move back to public access for this ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: go ahead
asciilifeform: i don't think overcrowding was the issue here
mod6: so now I've got this company to pay $185 and take it off my hands for scrap. hahah
mircea_popescu: got the command predigested for me ?
asciilifeform: aaand hey
asciilifeform: it worked
asciilifeform: it's milking
mod6: you got connected to mp's blockchain milk? or -connect worked for you?
asciilifeform: what did mircea_popescu do ?
mircea_popescu: i played wiff girl.
mircea_popescu: game of yatze
mircea_popescu: anyway, ima keep it locked to your ip till tomorro then
mircea_popescu: if nothing else then because "don't fuck with shit that works"
mod6: oh, forgot to mention. the place wanted $500 to replace the springs. which is what prompted me to `mv posCar /dev/scrap`
asciilifeform still wondering wtf that was all about
mircea_popescu: very weird.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 27097 @ 0.00038778 = 10.5077 BTC [-] {3}
mod6: hmm
decimation: mod6: mechanics are famous for exploiting folks in what they think are vulnerable situations
mod6: yeah, they were pretty blown away when I just came and told 'em i was gonna scrap it.
trinque lawls at the naked folks biking past him
trinque: there are things to like about this communist land
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: now stuck again...
asciilifeform: after 43929
mod6: it's not processing blocks? or you're getting disconnected?
asciilifeform: stalled
mod6: hmm. give it 10 minutes to be sure... unless it's taking on those weird errors
asciilifeform: no errors
asciilifeform: just... stalls
asciilifeform: as in, nothing moving over the pipe
mod6: I remember from the block 168`001 issue (tx verification failed) that it would start dumping tons of errors if truly stuck.
mircea_popescu: eh listen, it's prolly getting too much attention
asciilifeform: again, not this
mod6: ah
mircea_popescu: let it be till tomorro, and we'll see what.
asciilifeform leaves the thing running
asciilifeform: picture so far is consistent with massive ddos, imho
mod6: asciilifeform: thanks a lot for your work tonight on the Static Builder. I'm a bit zapped to start getting into that tonight. Is it cool with you if I start testing it out tomorrow morning?
mod6: I can work on that and see where I can get with it; then I have to start working on the SoBA for June.
asciilifeform: mod6: no reason to hurry
mod6: Ok awesome.
asciilifeform: i'm about to sleep a bit myself
mod6: *nod*
mod6: thanks for all of your help :]
asciilifeform: this exercise did not take very long but for some reason very tiring
mod6: yeah, i hear ya.
mod6: get some rest. tomorrow we can keep on.
ben_vulpes: sleep? when all these titties are biking by?
ben_vulpes hauls out lawn chair and bottle of wine
mod6: haha.
trinque: ben_vulpes: y'know no sooner do I even consider relocating to the land of capitalism and Portland's like "but dude! an army of titties on bikes!"
trinque: ok portland, you win this round
trinque: this I think has something to do with the political problems throughout time
trinque: maybe I should get more drunk and see if pete_dushenski ends up writing about it
asciilifeform: another burst of milkage
asciilifeform: to 44429. stall.
mod6: nice. you think it's being packeted though?
asciilifeform: somebody's taking a king-sized shit in there
mod6: ah
asciilifeform: either that or somebody between here and there is 'losing' packets.
decimation: or there's a dysfunctional router somewhere
mod6: what does tr look like?
asciilifeform: decimation: not here
asciilifeform: some pretty serious strange
mod6: is it looping
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^
mod6: asciilifeform: mine looks exactly the same.
decimation: asciilifeform: seems like 'unthreading bitcoind' would be an admiral goal
asciilifeform: decimation: ?
decimation: cutting out the locking, threads ,etc
asciilifeform: tcp without threads?
asciilifeform: gonna service 1 node at a time ?
asciilifeform: with polling ?
decimation: yeah, async
asciilifeform: screw that
mod6: heheh
asciilifeform: go build p2p net with 1-at-a-time
asciilifeform: (and what, someone wants to connect, you drop ~everything~ ?)
decimation: I've built several pure async servers
asciilifeform: decimation: what do they do? queue requests ?
decimation: generally, you write a while loop with epoll or whatever
decimation: jump to whatever bell rings
asciilifeform: as if this thing didn't suck enough balls
decimation: well, it seems to me that there ought to be a definable spec between "talk to peers" and "maintain database of blocks"
asciilifeform: decimation: unless i seriously misunderstood mircea_popescu, not only is the reference client the permanent spec, but so are the turdependencies
asciilifeform: and anything purporting to be a human-readable spec is necessarily incomplete
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 25944 @ 0.00040271 = 10.4479 BTC [+] {2}
decimation: well, until the book is printed, studied, underped
decimation: over many man-years of effort
asciilifeform: and that we're more or less stuck with this until mythical 'sanity fork'
trinque: decimation: sounds kinda like what I understand nginx to be
trinque: munches a queue of that-which-must-be-done with 1-n workers
asciilifeform: decimation: i don't think that a mathematically-rigorous description of openssl (not to even mention boost and bdb) could be achieved in 10,000 years of sweat
asciilifeform: or that anyone would wish to try.
decimation: even the severable bits that bitcoind really needs?
asciilifeform: it's 'the spittoon'
asciilifeform: none of it is really severable from any of it
decimation: well, ultimately it's all running machine code
decimation: might need to start at that level I guess.
asciilifeform actually began there
asciilifeform: tried to come up with a mechanical mapping back from bin to what produced each section in the elf
asciilifeform: even wrote buncha ida script idiocy
asciilifeform: had to put it down, too many other things going on
asciilifeform: gcc, as one might imagine, does not go out of its way to help this be a readily practical thing
asciilifeform: quite the contrary.
asciilifeform: rms ~deliberately~ nudges it, whenever he can, in the direction of being as opaque as possible
decimation: no and as I recall there's hand-written asm in openssl
asciilifeform: decimation: optional
decimation: sure, to keep folks from re-writing gcc
decimation: so he can haz powerz
asciilifeform: decimation: not quite
assbot: Logged on 30-08-2014 03:37:06; decimation: "The existence of LLVM is a terrible setback for our community precisely because it is not copylefted and can be used as the basis for nonfree compilers — so that all contribution to LLVM directly helps proprietary software as much as it helps us.'"
asciilifeform: .... and another short burst from mircea_popescu's node
asciilifeform: decimation: rms did not want it to break apart into readily-plagiarizable pieces.
asciilifeform: this is annoying but i understand 100%
asciilifeform: why he did it
ben_vulpes: erm i thought bitcoind *did* service one at a time, looping over sockets
ben_vulpes to src
decimation: sure, he wants to keep people from mkaing a bsd gcc
asciilifeform: gcc is the original lonely fort keeping the whole gpl thing alive
asciilifeform: the one thing the fucking parasites couldn't effectively plagiarize without leaving trace
asciilifeform: but this had a cost, yes.
asciilifeform: i will note that llvm (since i mentioned it again) is upon the most cursory examination a piece of shit, that wasn't even built to 'be good' - but simply with the one and only purpose of killing gcc.
asciilifeform: rms is spot-on here
asciilifeform: it exists, was built, to help him die.
decimation: I find it unlikely that the fsf will outlive him
asciilifeform: in the sense in which it is now alive? sure
asciilifeform: in the sense of keeping the 'reasonable' folks at bay? doubtful
decimation: maybe.
asciilifeform: as soon as he's out, 'reasonable' people will crawl in and 'make compromises'
decimation: gpl is pretty weak sauce unless you have a barrel of lawyers to help you enforce it
decimation: aye, agreed
decimation: all I want is a world where I get source when I get software
decimation: but I recognize that rms' stand is probably the only way
asciilifeform: won't ask for it to be buildable ?
asciilifeform: on something which in turn is buildable ?
decimation: really, he's already lost his war for the reasons you harp on re: bedrock
asciilifeform: rms doesn't do war. not for many years, anyway. he does 'lonely fort'
asciilifeform: keeping out whole universes full of filth
asciilifeform: that will come flooding in as soon as he's out of action
asciilifeform: it is already seeping through the cracks.
asciilifeform: has been, for some years now.
decimation: yeah, as far as I can tell gpl only really 'sticks' to fsf software directly
asciilifeform: gpl is really primarily about gcc and linuxkernel
asciilifeform: everything else is window dressing
decimation: not much use to a license if you don't intend on enforcing it
ben_vulpes: (curse these jackholes who littered the source with printstatements that include function names)
ben_vulpes: is there a sane cpp logging thing that could be used in place of these print statements?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there's gcc-specific stuff that folds the line and # into the print
asciilifeform: (can't recall off top of head what, precisely. rtfm...)
assbot: Standard Predefined Macros - The C Preprocessor ... ( http://bit.ly/1JqXV95 )
assbot: Common Predefined Macros - The C Preprocessor ... ( http://bit.ly/1JqXXxK )
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: fprintf(stderr, "info: %s:%d: ", __FILE__, __LINE__);
ben_vulpes wonders at actual utility of a patch shaped like this
asciilifeform: i was reluctant to throw gccisms in there, but if we go and start building on mircea_popescu's soviet pdp11 we can always roll equivalent macros for that
asciilifeform: but if you ask me, this falls squarely under 'do this after it fucking ~works~' as described by mircea_popescu earlier.
asciilifeform sees another very short burst from mircea_popescu's node
asciilifeform: followed by silence...
asciilifeform: at this rate, the thing will sync some time after the eeproms in my computer lose 9/10th of their bits
asciilifeform: and i die of old age 3-5 times
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/net.cpp#1499 << looping over nodes, handling messages including new blocks

ben_vulpes: mnope.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didja see http://dpaste.com/2WANN89.txt
ben_vulpes: that'd be threadsockethandler?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok ?
mircea_popescu: what is 213.130.38.26?
asciilifeform: damned if i know
mircea_popescu: does ntt europe have a dedicated, identifiable five eyes leecher ?
asciilifeform: wouldn't be the first
asciilifeform: and not merely leecher, but pisser
mircea_popescu: this entire experience painfully reminds me of the famous phoneline click somehow
asciilifeform: was just thinking this!
mircea_popescu: im sure it's just my feverish paranoia.
asciilifeform: if it's man-made, it's actually pretty classy
asciilifeform: dropping the connection would get bitcoind rotating to next node
assbot: Logged on 28-06-2015 02:04:04; asciilifeform: There is no dynamic section in this file.
asciilifeform: (supposing we weren't using -connect)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: partial win, it's still built on (static) glibc
asciilifeform: but the thing is running on my box now.
mircea_popescu: you actually managed to get glibc to static ?
mircea_popescu: this is pretty great.
asciilifeform: pull down the tarball from ml, try
asciilifeform: doesn't take high tech magic
assbot: Logged on 28-06-2015 02:30:30; asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu asks, this turd will be deployed to dulap (s.nsa box)
asciilifeform: drop deps in 'distfiles', run stator.sh.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and yes, was gonna do this after certain tests. such as the one that is presently failing
asciilifeform: (-connect from motherlode)
asciilifeform: and would sorta like other folks to read the damn thing
asciilifeform: (no patches necessary to the bitcoind proper beyond what was published previously)
asciilifeform: see ml post.
mircea_popescu: did someoine actually answer "favourite pubkey algo" q with a ... hashing function ?!
asciilifeform: yeah some anon schmuck
mircea_popescu: "what's your favourite fish ?" "shoe"
mircea_popescu: "you mean sole ?" "o yeah that's the one!"
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: why "stator"
asciilifeform: 'the most delicious fish is the sausage.' --my grandfather
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: static bin
mircea_popescu: properly made sausage actually floats. therefore not a fish
mircea_popescu: but a witch
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: ouch
mircea_popescu: are you a pain enthusiast ben_vulpes ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to answer earlier q : i think for thius purpose (running on dulap etc) static glibc is exactly right.
mircea_popescu: doesn't help us on pogo, but that's a diff story.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was actually thinking of doing for ibmpc something like what i did for pogo
asciilifeform: e.g. a kernel that boots right into, this.
mircea_popescu: we'll have to bootstrap ourselves.
mircea_popescu: so that can be v 1.1
asciilifeform: y'know how some hoster folks let you drop an iso in when you get the thing
mircea_popescu: also, kernel is a good idea maybe for pogo. not for a proper server. you want people to add it to all their noncritical dedis.
asciilifeform: 'install favourite os'
asciilifeform: that'd be more for dedicated nodes, aha
asciilifeform: for mixing into daily life - normal package suffices
mircea_popescu: pogo = dedicated node ; this = stick everywhere
asciilifeform: but overall i like the idea of a dc box with bitcoind and LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE
asciilifeform: not even ssh
mircea_popescu: that box should not be in dc
mircea_popescu: but on consumer internet terminals.
asciilifeform: until we actually get limited mempool, shoot fragging in the head, etc. pogo will be a bit slow
asciilifeform: (it'll have to swap.)
mircea_popescu: understand - it's 10x to 100x more expensive to do a 213.130.38.26 on random home cable than it is on servers
asciilifeform: unquestionably the whole 'p2p' thing is the right and proper objective
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 46850 @ 0.00040636 = 19.038 BTC [+] {3}
asciilifeform: but of necessity many of the boxes involved in the ramp-up will be pc.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-06-2015#1180198 << can't entirely agree here. every so often folks discover carriers diddling 'consumer' traffic in obscene ways (adding tracking crud to http, even) having gone by for years at a time with not a squeak from the chumps
assbot: Logged on 28-06-2015 05:28:41; mircea_popescu: understand - it's 10x to 100x more expensive to do a 213.130.38.26 on random home cable than it is on servers
asciilifeform: do this at a serious dc and you have half a dozen 'bofhs' going postal
ben_vulpes: pardon my thickness, but what is "this" now?
asciilifeform: because literate folks, heard of 'tcpdump', 'wireshark', etc
ben_vulpes: oh oh
asciilifeform: yeah, that this.
ben_vulpes: diddling.
ben_vulpes: what is the 10x to 100x refer to - not the ip cost at a 'home' terminal?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: cost of setting up diddler
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're thinking the 90s.
mircea_popescu: those people are retired.
asciilifeform: i'm still in the 90s
asciilifeform: posting from them right now, l0l
mircea_popescu: nice for you - but...
asciilifeform: it's about 1994 here in this room

asciilifeform: 208002...
asciilifeform is coming to think that we will be needing a mechanism for out-of-band (hashes, pgp) comparison of blockchains
asciilifeform is not ~at all~ certain that he is actually pulling from mircea_popescu's box, rather than a preet's
ben_vulpes: how could one tell? ordering of blocks?
asciilifeform: tell what ?
asciilifeform: whether he and i have same ?
asciilifeform: by hashing and sending pgpgram...
ben_vulpes: there's no guarantee that you'll produce the same blockchain on disk, though.
asciilifeform: precisely
asciilifeform: hence why we need a mechanism to actually checksum the blocks and dump it to a man-readable form
ben_vulpes: i would actually be *surprised* if you did produce the same disk bytes via a network cslurping
asciilifeform: can reuse the 'checkpoint' code for this
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you know full well that it won't
asciilifeform: which is why i said 'we need mechanism...' rather than 'hey mircea_popescu, hash those db turds and send me back via pgp wontcha'
ben_vulpes: i surmise
ben_vulpes: the thing at this point lies spread apart on my vivisection table

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if you wanna perform a heroid deed, find out how to nuke gconv
asciilifeform: *heroic
asciilifeform: so far, all i learned is that it can - supposedly - be disabled during glibc build config. but this is not what i want
ben_vulpes: i'm not actually entirely certain where the gconv stuff is coming in
asciilifeform: if i have to write an elf diddler to yank it out of the binary, i will
asciilifeform: but would rather not come to this
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it is coming via glibc
asciilifeform: see the drepper link earlier today
asciilifeform: that fucker is responsible

asciilifeform: as far as i can tell, there is no intelligence in it beyond the misbehave... crap
ben_vulpes: i speak of mircea_popescu's desired behavior.

asciilifeform: and it is slow because philipinos have to crap out the diddled blocks by hand
ben_vulpes: and if thbox serves at a high bandwidth few bastards and blocks that all verify, why not prefer it over others?
asciilifeform: 'few bastards' is not a criterion while we're using the classical sync mechanism;
asciilifeform: e.g., mircea_popescu's box craps out as many bastards as anyone's
asciilifeform: on account of there being no intelligence whatsoever in the sync code
ben_vulpes: ah have ye tested that yet?

mircea_popescu: * asciilifeform has never been to 'burning man' thing and never really grasped the appeal << pretty much the ONLY remaining spot on the west coast to meet slovenly females that are undemanding.

mircea_popescu: this is also why poettering et all so plainly expected it to work etc/
mircea_popescu: it all makes perfect sense, looking at it now. they look like patently insane if considered on the merits, but if considered culturally they are simply "i just work here" and "this is how the world works". about as insane as an ant.

mircea_popescu: "The exchange sheds further light on the latest work" << yeah. it sheds the following light : "work" by these wankers consists these days of outputting random strings from pre-made texts and trying to do a cute seleciton thereof.
mircea_popescu: it's so wrong it's not even cargo cult.
asciilifeform: thing is still running in (short) bursts, as before.

asciilifeform: other thing, that will have to be added, imho, asap, is a non-retarded version of 'connect'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-06-2015#1180433 << as you clearly notice, the pipe is authenticable does not equal gosspid : we can have out of band authenticifaction as per the above mechanism.

asciilifeform: say i wanna cycle between mircea_popescu's 3 boxen
mircea_popescu: 1 before 2, yes.
mircea_popescu: the entire idea of what we are building here is NODE HIERARCHY.
asciilifeform: or say i wanna permit inbounds from lusers but never getblocks() from them
mircea_popescu: which is to say, i wish my node to connect only to people on THIS list, and let anyone connect to it.
decimation: asciilifeform: what about connecting something to a running bitcoind, siphoning off blocks as they are 'validated'?
decimation: re-index into sane database
mircea_popescu: then the ability of the wankers to poison the chain becomes nil : sure, whatever nodes listen to them listen to them. the infrastructure does not.
asciilifeform: decimation: that's plain old -connect
asciilifeform: decimation: or if you meant some oddball 'embrace & extend' of the sync protocol - yeah, we'll probably get there eventually
decimation: yeah I guess that's kinda what I mean
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-06-2015#1180438 << this would be so fucking great if it's the case.

mircea_popescu: they had to murder the connection to buy themselves another 16 hours, because OMFG THEY'RE DOING WHAT ?!?!? NOW ?!?!
mircea_popescu: and now have to work it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if enemy action indeed rather than the net being a ruinous ball of yarn - they were probably fuzzing for various protocol boojums
asciilifeform: of course, plain old reroute for snorting with derelict infrastructure would have similar 'molasses' effect..

asciilifeform: what kind of grass mircea_popescu cuts in his flat, lol
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in timisoara i had a garden recall ?
mircea_popescu: well, that.
decimation: no gas to store, no oil to change, etc
mircea_popescu: and it was about 1/4 ton of grass each cutting.
mircea_popescu: which means about 20 in a year, which the neighbours helpfully PUT OUTSIDE BY THEIR DUMPSTERS.
mircea_popescu: then went to supermarket and bought feed for the poor yard.
mircea_popescu: then they will wish to know why isis comes and beheads them
mircea_popescu: and it will be an unexpolainable hatred, i'm sure.
decimation: mircea_popescu: generally here the received wisdom is that you want to leave grass clippings on the lawn
asciilifeform bbl, playing with pet
decimation: rots, recycles nutrients
mircea_popescu: decimation what i did was pile it all in a corner.
mircea_popescu: also rots. also provides nutrients. can be split up over the yard beforer first snow.
decimation: yeah, that works too
mircea_popescu: also attracts birds.
decimation: you can add kitchen scraps and wood clippings, make good compost
mircea_popescu: ideally you start it with a good offering of herbivore droppings.
decimation: that's a good idea
mircea_popescu: and i did add the wood clippings, ie, me cutting off an apple and a pear tree into shape over a coupla years, after having been neglected for 5ish
decimation: I've also heard of going to the nearest swamp and grabbing the muck
mircea_popescu: not very useful, for your thing will not be either that wet or that basic. very acidic

mircea_popescu: imo nsa of 1999 was much better organised than the crap of today.
mircea_popescu: For instance: #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf ("Hello World\n"); } compiles to 985,018 bytes. This is almost all libc overhead.
mircea_popescu: what is it by now ? 4mb ?

mircea_popescu: that's pretty good.
decimation: 6.4kbyte on redhat 6

mircea_popescu: nonono, static

mircea_popescu: incredible that this "free world" thing has waited patiently, and incredibly quietly, for 25 years for us to show up. i imagine it will be very hurt in its hopes and aspirations when i spit in its mouth.
mircea_popescu: because truly, it was waiting for salvation! resisting through culture!
mircea_popescu: they really did mean to assassinate hitler!
mircea_popescu: just biding their time, waiting for a good opportunity, honest! wanted to do maximum damage, and as we all know, ~MAXIMUM~ damage is always in the future.

gabriel_laddel: mats: lol, I need to be adopted, not the other way around.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: It seems to me that the academy should educate kids of ages 15 and older, so you have something to work with.
mircea_popescu: a) you can't educate "a class". individuals only ; b) you can't educate people you don't, most intimately, know ; c) there's no education outside of the educated's choice.
gabriel_laddel: "we assume you can read, write and do simple mathematics - now build some rockets and jungle IC on the cheap"

mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel's committing this error where he's proposing that since he's not fucking the girl, he's not in love with her ; asciilifeform is committing this error where since there was a building in the vicinity of the learning, the building is now a school.

mircea_popescu: Along these lines, Meerloo offers a prescription: “We must learn to treat the demagogue and aspirant dictator in our midst just as we should treat our external enemies in a cold war – with the weapon of ridicule. The demagogue himself is almost incapable of humor of any sort, and if we treat him with humor, he will begin to collapse. Humor is, after all, related to a sense of perspective. If we can see how things s
mircea_popescu: hould be, we can see how askew they can get, and we can recognize distortion when we are confronted with it.” << for the record, this is rank nonsense. it only seems to work because americans are the worst of all german stocks - incredibly stolid, unhumorous fellows.
mircea_popescu: societies exhibiting an incredibly exacerbated "making fun" cancer have been recorded. they still have the same problems with demagogues and peoples' general emotional insanity. humor is no panacea.
mircea_popescu: that said, it'd be incredible cultural progress for the us if it actually was a little funnier.
mircea_popescu: the only stable solution is in any case willing submitting to chosen people. and there should be no room for "state" anywhere once that's done.
