a111: Logged on 2016-07-12 19:09 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which, the "Galt's gulch" thing ?
mircea_popescu: what else was in it ? somehow it's nto triggering memory.
asciilifeform: 'nuisance litigants'
asciilifeform: possibly elsewhere also.
mircea_popescu: lol @ginsburg. she's only there to be a president's whore, who's anyone kidding.
mircea_popescu: curious if they'll exclude her now. lol.
asciilifeform: a great many folks who are in a position to enthrone clitler, by whatever means, regardless of what winblowz CE buttons the sheeple click on in the voting booths, will be doing their thing.
asciilifeform: and they will make it look entirely legit, to whatever naked eye.
mircea_popescu: if anyone other than you actually had any faith in this theory, they wouldn't be quite this desperate now would they.
mircea_popescu: anyway, lovely verbiage "crisis of american democracy" = "guy we don't like massacring bureaucracy on the basis of popular vote"
mircea_popescu: what the FUCK did you think "democracy" means ye gits ?
mircea_popescu: "someone i nthe sky giving us moneyz for sitting on ass and derping importantly" ? that's not fucking democracy, but the opposite thereof.
mircea_popescu: "oh i know, we've created a sort of monarchy without a king, basically just the court and nobody there to behead us - we'll call it democracy. if anyone inquires into the matter we can always add modern in front and it'll be all good!"
mircea_popescu: in other news, wikipedia delivers : "United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) is an armed forces sub-unified command subordinate to United States Strategic Command. The command is located in Fort Meade, Maryland, and centralizes command of cyberspace operations, organizes existing cyber resources and synchronizes defense of U.S. military networks. The text "9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a", which is located in the command's
mircea_popescu: emblem, is the MD5 hash of their mission statement."
mircea_popescu: seems perfectly adequate an emblem for a calender.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is the field-grunt arm of nsa. traditionally headed by same stuffed shirt as the better-known one.
asciilifeform: in old world parlance : signal corps.
mircea_popescu: sure. but lulz be lulz.
shinohai: $later tell BingoBoingo http://ix.io/139r
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2016/the-darkening/ << on reread, this is actually fine dribblet of tmsr-church mythology.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: consider continuing the tale? it was spiffy
mircea_popescu: it had like 5-6 bits iirc ?
mircea_popescu: the problem is i kinda dunn owhat i want to do with it.
asciilifeform: 'the epic war between bug and boot' is a short story, indeed
mircea_popescu: i took it as far as actually having to make a decision, and is stuck now. do i introduce a hero ? do i make it what ?
mircea_popescu: time shall tell
mircea_popescu: basically, i perceive i've basically wrote myth, and simply do not wish to degrade it into narrative
mircea_popescu: so unless i figure out how myth may continue, it's stuck there.
mircea_popescu: but i sure as fuck am not putting American Squarejaws and his Love Interest in there
asciilifeform: i'd put in a fall:
asciilifeform: one of the dogmen falls into disgrace and decides that he could bugger all of the bubblefolk at once, if only he 'jacks in' himself
asciilifeform: (to borrow gibsonism)
mircea_popescu: nah, you now got a hero
mircea_popescu: and of the worst kind
mircea_popescu: a traitor hero. meh.
mircea_popescu: i suppose god might make an appearance. but i dun wish to commit to shape.
mircea_popescu: whatever you put in, is now in, not just for the parts you intended but for all the parts it might have.
