mp_en_viaje: this even way the fuck loftier 2 meaning, that "the message was transmitted by ~ONE OF THE~ hounds" of this sartori comedian. because he's so lofty and important and practically speaking a nation in himself, he can't even fucking talk, like trump. he has a humongous (you better believe) horde of vechili & other nigger handles at his beck and call. he's just that fuckign cool, what.
mp_en_viaje: shock and awe, a bunch of idle cuntlets went to new york to "be journalists" aka "do whatever the fuck i please all day as if i were mp" only to discover mp is mp because mp, not because new york, and cowpoke girl from indiana doesn't get away from HAVING TO suck cock just because got away from indiana.
mp_en_viaje: this 1 meaning, that "the workers", in a very lofty plural, NOT ACTUALLY WORKING for a thing NOT ACTUALLY MAKING ANY MONEY by very far (which'd be the MEASURE of working), found out that yes, the necessary correlate of not working is not being free.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, the lulziest part comes at the end.
asciilifeform: wreckers must've wrecked the fireworks, instead of the usual decent ones, mostly puffs of smoke.
asciilifeform: audience -- maybe coupla 100k of fans, some of the fattest folx i've ever seen in person who could still walk on 2 legs
asciilifeform: trump was to speak at 1800 hrs, blinked in and out for ~45min, the sound system must've ran on winblows xp, which crashed
asciilifeform: aerial parade however was held, fwiw, and even in rain. coupla tired old jets + the public's favourite golden toilet, the 'stealth bomber'.

mp_en_viaje: from the "OEA" imaginary association of imaginary representatives of pantsuit-imagined "nations" to inexistent restaurants to everything else, the internet is mostly the pretendosphere of the redditard.
mp_en_viaje: increasingly the internet becomes a pantsuit translation skin upon the world, giving such a worldview as could be digested by a specific sort of ideologically-hobbled moron and naught else.
mp_en_viaje: fucking internet. 100% of all occurences of "paranoid delusion" are retconned into "delusional disorder", notwithstanding the term of art has ~century of bibliography behind it and the latter nonsense was invented last decade-ish in one of those inconsequential meetings of the usgistani retards posing as dosctors on no basis.
mp_en_viaje: a rich king with no barons is in just as dubious position as henry the young king, with his hall fulla heroic figures and no two pennies to set a meal before them. you absolutely must have money ~and connections~, there is strictly no doctor's note to get you out of this one, and don't go looking for it either.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-26 19:24 mp_en_viaje: get yourself support locally, too. there's a few remnant pantsui torgs that need strangling ; i murdered one there's just a few left. they must be publicly raped, and then get the repubkican style institutions going.
mp_en_viaje: billymg, note the things i said re moving to cr, specifically http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-26#1920248 ; attempting to manalone things is a loser strategy wherever you go.
mp_en_viaje: largely the early soviet revolutionary thing was a long chain reorg. a tenuous if long coming interpretation of "wealth" got segwit 'ed out of existence.
a111: Logged on 2019-07-01 10:20 mircea_popescu: and the other item in this rapidly depleting bucket of possibly useful ideas : fucking pick. obviously i'll look at a group and go "talk to that one with the tits" or w/e such, my picks are easy peasy. but this doesn't mean yo ucan't pick! look at a group, select the donkey with the more intelligent gaze, talk to that, what's to keep you.
mp_en_viaje: (a sort of single-family dwelling). the peasants had been slowly capitalizing the space around them for centuries, before that thread got discontinued, and wealth became rather a relational sort (see "note from stalin", or see beria's implementation of my very own "talk with the one with the tits".
mp_en_viaje: well, a large part of the problem then was also that the ~meaning~ of wealth changed. wealth as a concept in the space occupied later by the sovient union had starting to diverge as early as 1600s, with the aparition of the khutor
billymg: my understanding was that it was more about level of connectedness to the party than simply wealth
asciilifeform: in re statistical discussion -- historically dekulakizations nail the middle, the fella with (per current day norm) 5-6 u.s.figs of worth, rather than actual rich. and per billymg's description of his case, seems that he falls into the latter, rather than former, weight class
mp_en_viaje: just because sha256 is theoretically AN INFINITY OF TIMES easier to break than sha512 does not in fact mean you can break either as you stand today.
mp_en_viaje: she ~still could be~ the smartest / fastest / incoherent-est / whatever person alive.
mp_en_viaje: conceivably a girly reading a discussion about how women are born less than men gets disheartened and quits highschool. this is not particularly sound reasoning, the biological and statitical discussion says nothing about her.
mp_en_viaje: i think part of the problem is maybe a kind of literalism. i wouldn't say the thread is ~incorrect~ ; i would however say it does not relate to you in the manner you imply. it is a historical and statistical account, like say a discussion of female biological inferiority.
mp_en_viaje: well, you'll also eventually die. "not if i just keep away from the site of my eventual death" is your answer ?
billymg: and when this happens, or how it happens, is not something i'd like to predict, but rather be far enough away to watch from a distance
a111: Logged on 2018-08-24 00:46 asciilifeform: 20th c was century of dekulakizations, where 'these motherfuckers won't give up their hard currency to socialist motherland, let's light fire under their feet', typically shooting was not 1st step, but last step, of algo
mp_en_viaje: sooner or later you will have to say no, whatever you are, whatever you do and wherever you do it ; moreover the problem with living among idiots is that you become one, not that they "get smart to you".
mp_en_viaje: you could, similarily, be gnawed to death by rats. this is paranoia, plain and simple ; if it fixes on "other people" you move to rural texas (or w/e, rural ok, as the dpb case may be). if it fixes on "packets" you move to whatever, cabin in woods like the unabomber guy. if it fixes on corn you move to sugarcane country... but seriously now, paranoid delusion shouldn't be the driver of man's activity.
mp_en_viaje: yours is a bizarre conception of the world. http://trilema.com/2015/a-lunatic-with-a-bloodied-axe-could-be-ringing-at-your-door/ is not locale-bound.
mp_en_viaje: ask what the fuck ?
billymg: that's why somewhere further away, politically and geographically. otherwise could just as well get land in rural texas if plan is to simply respond "no"
billymg: well, not just because told you to, but rather, show up at house, ask a bit more firmly
mp_en_viaje: payin bitcoin "taxes" because fiatards told you to requires exactly the same mental processes as "buying" brooklyn bridge because street urchins told you to ; or not eating lobster because teacup-in-the-sky told you to.
mp_en_viaje: the only real danger is, your brain rotting into the sad shape where you'd actually pay ; or think such a thing as paying is conceivable.
mp_en_viaje: t lost and they... do. because what the fuck are they gonna do.
mp_en_viaje: the general population in minsk is stuck saving all week on their miserly $100/week salary to take girlfriend out on independence day, only to get kicked out of the booth because there's some people there doing bottles. the general population sits morosely at the bar while their gf watches my whores mouth agape for half an hour only to eventually work up the gumption to come over and complain about ~the noise~. in a fucking bar. so i tell them to ge
billymg: only that it provides politicians pretense to do what they want to do anyway, take
mp_en_viaje: dude, the general population. who gives a flying fuck about the general population ?
billymg: re: timing, i'm worried that the next bitcoin spike, which feels due soon, will again create a climate of jealousy/resentment in the population towards anyone with btc
billymg: mp_en_viaje: thank you for the response. it's given me some more to think about
mp_en_viaje: " This being said, there is as always plenty of space for doing better at this, certainly, especially since I know very well how much worse it was before I specifically set about to make it better, step by step" << diana_coman on the everquest
mp_en_viaje: anyway, the jets dumping flares was very popular with locals.
mp_en_viaje: the antique shit these people got flying...
asciilifeform: sorta why in '41 they gave out 'наркомовские 100 грамм' of vodka at the front. so cannon fodder can put brakes on 'evaluate the risk' and die for motherland properly.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, there's worse fates than owning a bit of land here and there.
mp_en_viaje: he just thinks you're in a much better position to evaluate the risks.

mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-03#1921468 << he;s afraid he'll fuck something up end up without the coin. not an irresponsible pov, esp seeing how no tmsr os, no reasl tmsr bitcoind etc.
a111: Logged on 2019-07-03 17:19 billymg: is it that real estate is necessarily always a bad investment, even for someone already comfortable with the amount of coin they have on hand?
BingoBoingo: Seriously too many pretty girls on the trash details that should be doing anything else
mp_en_viaje: whether one eats lunch at 2pm or 9pm or 3 am or w/e much the shit less important, not to mention batshit insane arbitrary preoccupation.
mp_en_viaje: get everyone marketed much more important than retarded hangups about "what hours things happen". the principal problem of latino teenagers is that they don't have access to a market where to sell their cunt, end up wasting it and therefore their life.
mp_en_viaje: fucking ridiculous. give free shots on campus, wtf. the problem of latinos is insufficient market access of young cunt.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Well, it seems like the last gasp of the current OldWoman regime
mp_en_viaje: sooo... i might be the only person in the world to be hit on by their 19yo ~stewardess~, but it fucking happened. as i'm sitting in line to get a local phone sim, this bubbly chick is all "oh, i flew you yesterday, remember me ???"
BingoBoingo: billymg: The thing about buying real estate is that it immediately incurs costs to maintain and defend the property. If the place has been sitting empty there can already be a deficit.
asciilifeform: billymg: the slightly trickier puzzler is to retain the keys even if abruptly parted from the roof and the suitcase. but this, too, discussed in prev. thrds.
asciilifeform: it's a square circle, billymg , either sumthing is yours or it aint. if it's yours, you could lose, or forget where you put, where do you suppose 'buried treasure' comes from for archaeologists to find.
asciilifeform: and how the hell could one 'hedge against own fallibility'
billymg: re: converting all remaining fiat to coin: if i were asciilifeform or similar and had bulletproof keys then i perhaps would not mind having 99.9% of net worth in coin. but since i am not, i feel some amount of hedging against my own fallibility is prudent
billymg: i was viewing real estate "investment" as one of them
asciilifeform: there are various known solutions to this, but none (unsurprisingly) 'official'. mp_en_viaje discussed variously in the logs, how it is done.
asciilifeform: billymg: prolly you already know that in (afaik) erry country colonized by reich, if you walk in to open bank acct in yer human name, and they ask for passport and you pull out usa passport, they will either refuse entirely or make for you an acct that is immediately reported to usg tax ministry for express pillage
asciilifeform: billymg: re heavy industrial amts of coin -- the only afaik fella here who could even theoretically help, is mp_en_viaje , ask him when he wakes up, it is possible that this is the year he's buying a soviet sub or sumsuch
asciilifeform: billymg: (ianal but) not aware of any country where 'just park' worx. normally they want you to buy lands.
billymg: also, i hear buying > $x worth of property in some places gets you on fast track to residency/citizenship. although perhaps parking in local bank account has the same effect
billymg: is it that real estate is necessarily always a bad investment, even for someone already comfortable with the amount of coin they have on hand?
billymg: in that case, off by a bit for the fiat needing to be absorbed
billymg: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-10#1917856 << means 0.39 sold in the last auction?
BingoBoingo to put the auctions up a bit after 0:00 UTC
billymg: asciilifeform: the monthly auctions?
billymg: and for bitcoin, not sure where to even buy large amounts these days
billymg: and i'm in the situation of having more spare fiat than i expected to, by way of winning startup tech co stock option lottery. so dumping some of that into property outside the reich, even if not A+ investment, is not something i would stress about
BingoBoingo: There's no magic that'll take all the possible dangers away
BingoBoingo: Well, cattle rustling is still a thing in Uruguay. Usually takes the form of 5-12 men rolling into a field and butchering the cow in place.
billymg: i have coin as well, and for that the same fear. if not surrounded by some acres then easier to get to
billymg: unless step to is withdraw to suitcase full of benjies. but then if stashed in a rental, easier for someone to walk up to landlord and say "we need to look inside"
billymg: that's true, and i might be overthinking it. perhaps opening a bank account in cr and wiring everything over is really not a big deal. but then i'd worry that would make it easier for someone to hit the "undo" button on the transfer
BingoBoingo: Could get a lawyer to draft up a letter swearing your suitcase of benjis is for your epic casino vacation instead? Seems like renting would be smarter while figuring out what to look for inspecting the local buildings.
billymg: BingoBoingo: to buy, as that seems like the easiest way to get money out of the reich without raising eyebrows
billymg: mp_en_viaje: i'm speaking to a realtor in cr soon about some listings, i was hoping to get your thoughts on one of the listings as well as general feedback/guidance on my strategy. i've included some details about my current situation to provide more context. if you could find the time to review please and give advice it would be immensely helpful: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/eC3ir/?raw=true
diana_coman: possibly since 2010 so much changed that they are ...still in the 80s.
diana_coman: that's the thing, I went there in 2010 and I was like...whoa, here's 80s all over again, ugh
mp_en_viaje: they're still mentally digesting john lennon, what go nude in the streets.
mp_en_viaje: well, there's certainly a very sad vibe of "bdsm, you mean that escort service" and other such "we're still in the 80s over here" mentality issues. heck, they even had a dubious cover band at restaurant last night, did "imagine" and then "friends will be friends" and etc, phonetically.
diana_coman: then again, it *was* an agricultural area where I went, yes
diana_coman: and it is rather flat overall, what mountains
diana_coman: at least where I went deeper it was the sort of forest along the water that you get e.g. along ialomita
diana_coman: other than that, the countryside was precisely Baragan-style (including the locals-staring-at-this-weird-unknown-woman)
diana_coman: we had somewhere this sort of game "spot&count the lenins in the town" lolz
diana_coman: and all the lenins are probably still there, where I saw them in 2010 for that matter aka http://ossasepia.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Lenin-copy.jpg
mp_en_viaje: for the cynically cyrillicless.
mp_en_viaje: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/PPJG0/?raw=true << approx translation, for the innocent. well, not exaclty innocent, just cyrillicless.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, the funny part was that the damn thing sounds JUST EXACTLY how a mp-run minsk-bdsm authority would go. "forward quality youth!" etc.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: europistan's deepest nature preserve, neh. 1000 y.o. trees, bison who died errywhere else 400y ago; why not also komsomol then ?
diana_coman: I suspect the trouble really is that by that time I was already used to a mixture of estonian+belarus+russian+lithuanian home-cuisine that I can't pick it apart what is exactly from where
mp_en_viaje: imo the local borscht queen of the variations.
diana_coman: for the past 3 minutes or so I tried to remember ANY food I had in belarus; can't remember anything; either it was too close to one-of-the-homes or I have no idea why it's such a black hole this one.
mp_en_viaje: had a large order of dranki, came with a literal boat of (not so sour) cream ; the borsht came with sliced slana, i'm fatted out.
asciilifeform: pet of asciilifeform is (2 gens out) from there.
mp_en_viaje: i'd say they're more pleasant yes.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: haven't been , but it's on the short list of where to move if/when jailbroken
mp_en_viaje: i suspect you'd fuckin glvoe the food.
mp_en_viaje: well i certainly like bielarusians. and yes, the cunt even better quality than poland, in a strictly physical sense. somewhat more fucked in the head though.
BingoBoingo: You hate Italians, had a good time in Poland. I took a stab at what would follow the pursuit of more Poland less Italian
mp_en_viaje: great inspiration then1
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> whom, i suspect, went and checked nicole's fetlife profile. << Nah, I took a stab at what's probably the opposite of Italy
mp_en_viaje: and as the girls were in trouble, five minutes later runner busts through the door to face me, coincidentally standing in the halway with my pants unbuttoned and a crop in my hand, while one girl naked and the other skirt rolled up to her belybuitton facing me...
mp_en_viaje: they do things slightly differently around here, had a guy waiting in the street as i showed up, to do various errands for me ; eventually i sent him off to bring more keys and assorted odds and ends (be right back, 5 minute!!!)
asciilifeform: reportedly indeed is, iirc putin still takes vacation there
asciilifeform pictures mp_en_viaje lodged in that 1 house in viskuli, 1000km of forest around, where they signed the sovok surrender
mp_en_viaje: aaand the winner is....
diana_coman: over longer term there is for sure some adapting to different temperatures going on as now I'd struggle even at 30 quite quickly and certainly much more than I used to do ages ago.
spyked: it's 36-40 celsius over in bucharest, dry oven-like weather. /me went out at noon and could take 20-30 minutes outside without hassle, tho
spyked: diana_coman, nice! brother went to edinburgh and down to canterbury a few days ago, caught about zero rain, which I suppose must be rare
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-02#1921353 - hmmmm, heatwave must be the name they give to good weather in England, lol. It's been perfectly sunny, blue skies, 20-22 degrees around here!

BingoBoingo: I'm have to retract the Italian joke and take a wild stab at Minsk
mircea_popescu: ima give a bitcent to the eventual winner (if nobody gets exact location, closest guess counts ; though global designations [ie, zones or countries rather than towns] will be taken at the least-favourable value)
BingoBoingo: Cool, no rush on this. Let the mulling continue!
mircea_popescu: anybody wanna play the "guess where mp comes up for air next" game btw ?
BingoBoingo: But I suspect equity just isn't corrupting enough on its own for the masses
BingoBoingo: That's likely to get more interest from the outside. May get the corruption pump going which is kinda what we stalled out on with the Republic as salaryman's hobby.
mircea_popescu: make two tiers, so the editor in chief + i guess whatever others we promote to permanent editorship still has the option to get shares ; but the rest just get a payoff.
mircea_popescu: i mean, the whole get shares thing is eminently fair, respectful whatever, but evidently the cattle's neither interested nor ready for anything like that.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, i was thinking maybe it'd be a good move to reform the qntra structure, have outright 10c/word payable for copy for colalborators, do say weekly deedbot payouts or something.
BingoBoingo: Not like anyone prohibited black and white laser printed or photocopied lists, but the marginal gotta obsess over the colors because they haven't been stomped enough

mircea_popescu: the cherries popped sometime yesterday. (this is an euro event, sometime during the summer the mega cherries, huge, delicious, appear by the truckload on the market).
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: if it helps pizarro in the slightest, feel free to list my blog, sure
BingoBoingo: Anyways, as I compile this market profile for public consumption it is clear that when pizarro churner pushing copy, the copy'll have to include some of the things we host as an introduction to the Republic. This would mean Qntra, Eulora, and whoever might want their blogs listed.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu plox to elaborate re 'unreviewable theorems'
diana_coman: you know, they used to say "he was bred to painting/butchering/whatever"
mircea_popescu: copying the forms may be a great way to get to the substance -- which is why say all painters who painted back when painting worked and such a thing as being a master painter was still on the table learned the craft in "full houses", run by some older painter ; but we're adults, we're in the business of substance here, no amount of formalist perfection's gonna do anything on its own.
diana_coman: certainly; I've put it in the log more to make it clear that it's just one example, not some "has to be this way"
mircea_popescu: there's no "i'll be a living organism only doing 2/5 of the things living organisms must do". this is not an available option.

diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-01#1921246 - btw, meant to say, whether my-fault or whatever, "a house always full" will see me running for the hills.
mircea_popescu goes back to writing these boring missives nobody ever reads
diana_coman: it's a shame the child is only 6 as otherwise he's anyway coming home straight to check that I didn't "do anything with the computer parts" while he was away; and I have yet to see any of his play-mates that want to leave our house when time is up, lol.
mircea_popescu: pick-and-choose will break their goop!
diana_coman: I suppose I'm fighting more my own fear of "wrong" pick than anything; one thing that good memory does at least is that it keeps there for ever ALL the lessons learnt and changes/improvements made too so yes, can change further.
mircea_popescu: one of the key crowd control mechanisms of the empire, useful esp at the top, is this discouragement of arbitrariety. what, you're made of hookmeat or something ? you can pick, that's what you're here for, to pick!
mircea_popescu: you hold your lordship like anyone else, your choice enacts reality, if someone else was the smartypants you didn't pick, shame on ~THEM~. they should've looked more like it.
mircea_popescu: and the other item in this rapidly depleting bucket of possibly useful ideas : fucking pick. obviously i'll look at a group and go "talk to that one with the tits" or w/e such, my picks are easy peasy. but this doesn't mean yo ucan't pick! look at a group, select the donkey with the more intelligent gaze, talk to that, what's to keep you.
mircea_popescu: so simply do that. "oh, is this a mobile app ?" "ehh, *handwave* mobile apps. here's the weird thing about shaders..."
mircea_popescu regularly ignores nonsense on "absolute truth" "respect" "consent" etc blablabla from assorted girlies. they handle it just fine, in fact all they're really looking for is some kind of release from it. if there's a place where things can be discussed without reference to the pantsuit mental infrastructure they're perfectly happy to.
mircea_popescu: if you spend your time engaging their idiocy on its own terms you'll just be sadder than you need to be.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, possibly the problem was you engaged the matter. imo the correct approach to whatever the fuck nonsense they sprout is simply no and moving back to discussing actually important things.
mircea_popescu: but it seems to me talking to the pantsuit youth ~in groups~ is a complete waste of time. from one end to the other, fetlife yielded via private messaging ; okcupid did not yield through public and visible group dominance, i dunno the whys and wherefores but they evidently ignore all group anything.
diana_coman: they move away; but it's quite possible that it's not because of the "no, not mobile" - that's just the convenient excuse and those same would have found another otherwise
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, honestly, a pointed "no" works wonders. you don't have to either cater or appear to cater to their worldview or expectations. they take that just fine.
mircea_popescu: maybe it's an item on the cattle survival list we don't know about, "never act on any public leads". nfi.
mircea_popescu: the girls' PRIVATE commlines however, those were snowed in. it's not that they didn't wanna ; it's that for some (yet uncomprehended) reason they... couldn't just fucking come, not in a group, i dunno.
diana_coman: partially there is this obsession with "gotta be a mobile app"; and while sure, one could make a eulora client for mobile if they care for, first of all I DON'T CARE FOR THAT and second ffs, I'm not going to load into my head apple's shit now
mircea_popescu: consider this example : at burlesque competition (writing an article about this that'll fill in details) i told organizer i'm giving free vodka to the contestants after the show, and spread the word around. everyone was excited, yet nobody came.
mircea_popescu: the one other element is that i suspect formalism has a significant destructive effect.
diana_coman: that's precisely the thing: I went to local uni to offer them "come and practice"; result nil; but again and as above: this part needs to come to focus and then (only then) it will work. (I know I made it work before, it's not that I can't or something)
mircea_popescu: pretty much everything worth having in this world can well be had for the cost of a cup of coffee well brewed.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as human industry that does not benefit from company ; the strange behaviours of baruch spinoza and such are 1. not a tradition but an accident and 2. something the old masters ~regretted~ as an unfortunate result of misguided youth, wasn't their fucking option and choice.
mircea_popescu: why eschew the pleasant way this always worked for some ford-esque atrocity of a chaplin parody ?!
mircea_popescu: back when chet was an adult woman, decade or so before we met, she ran the only old style kitchen in her neighbourhood. local girlies came to hang out and learn how to cook, her house was always full. my cousin i had hannah live with for a coupla months did the same thing, she had two hgirls one year apart of her own and a half dozen daytime live-ins.
mircea_popescu: even without the "oh, bad things in future". it has to change because it's unhealthy. why do eight hour stretches locked in kitchen/orchard/garden whatever when you could be doing twelve hours of relaxed work and play ?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: those that made it at least in here for some talk are fully visible, see the mp3 guy as most recent but as I said, so far I was 99% on "get eulora finally going" ; this clearly has to change because otherwise by the time it's good to go, there's nobody left or something.
mircea_popescu: "somebody" deciding "you are stupid" or whatever the fuck else on the basis of your own fucking work is exactly as interesting as the fly-meaning of flies buzzing by.
mircea_popescu: it ~seems there might be~, in all sorta ways manners and "do we still have to DO this". it's an illusion. idiocy simply gets filtered out at 0 cost and that;s that.

mircea_popescu: there's deeply ingrained anti-sharing culture leading to http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921077 style nonsense. i have derived no detriment from my cock being publicly visible ; my sluts derived no detriment from their whatever exposure. there is, literally and strictly, no drawback whatsoever to communication.
mircea_popescu: well, the literate process can help there as anywhere.
mircea_popescu: talk to some kids in between working in the orchard, there's no way out of this.
diana_coman: I want that too and therefore I'm pondering here if I'm not focusing too much on all the tech parts that eulora needs sorted (and the pile just seems to grow) instead of specifically carving out some time for proper outreach of the filtering kind to build up helpers if I can't find them
mircea_popescu: all i want is for this to be the place.
diana_coman: on the positive side, europe has a long history of failing in one place and then sprouting up again in another place; sort of used to failure and recovery
mircea_popescu: yurp belongs to the scrap iron man today. whether homebrew gangster or imported, "the system" has utterly failed.
mircea_popescu: there's not a single nice guy with great sense of humor anywhere in sight. i suppose they're all at the library by choice.
mircea_popescu: the entire floor of this very comfortable hotel i occupy (well, the lesser rooms, i got the nicer corner place) is occupied by large dudes in the tell-tale bodybuilding+tattoos color scheme and their obvious hookers. and they give me either upset or terrified glares whenever we pass, i suppose depending on whether my girls happen to be dressed ("hey, how come he has MULTIPLE?!?! unfare!!!") or not and i'm wielding a paddle o
mircea_popescu: "there is no such fish as truite in french". what, it was my accent ?
diana_coman: well, there were schools in the uk where "children are ash-grey and can't think of anything other than food, what learning" - that is closer to hunger; but ofc there is no cause to be addressed there, only rights to be asked for
mircea_popescu: they've already been attrited out of most anything anyone'd ever want anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway. my point here is : attrition already happened 80% of the way. the difference between frenchgirl i recall from 1992 and frenchgirl i perceive in 2019 is staggering.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, apparently. cuz the menu is like the limit of existence now or something, the "company policy". wanna queue for cabs ?
diana_coman: o.O you can't order things not on the menu??
mircea_popescu: and then i say "yes, but i'm rich, i don't care what you think of anything" and she giggles. and "you can't order things not on the menu" and "don't you need a ticket ?" and "you have to stay here, there's nowhere else" and etcetera.
mircea_popescu: from under the well worn tshirt, washed more times than i dipped my cock in woman, from under the "cut up" jeans to mask the wear and tear, from inside the tentsheet shoes only the poorest of the poro kids wore during the LEAN communist years, holding the smashed smartphone ("where did you drop that ?" "which time ?"), they sprout forth the tenents of the idiocy that fucked them.
diana_coman: esp the no-cash part is really hard *not* to notice since every goddamned shopkeeper/waiter/whatever forever shoves that machine in but poverty is effectively built on purposeful "short-term memory" anyway
mircea_popescu: and for this obvious sadness, they still go about pretending about "rights" and "no truth exists" and whatnot tenets of the idiocy that got them there, slaves on the continent their forefathers fought etc.
mircea_popescu: the average girly that a) looks like anything you'd fuck and b) isn't already outright working the streets has never in her life had in her hand, as discretionary funds, the cost of a decent meal. this is europe, EXACTLY like africa. minus the infrastructure, they're exactly the same place. exactly the same people anyway.
mircea_popescu: that's the funny thing. for all the pretense, they are ALREADY the rats living among the ruins of a "distopian future". what fucking distopian ? in the rare cases i'm not the only one in the restaurant, i'm the only one who can afford to pay the bill. everyone else's there with mechanised ious and mommy allowances etc.
diana_coman: ah, there is no possible competition no, the infinite points and all that (and in this case just moving on to next idiocy that pays well); at most attrition I had in mind
mircea_popescu: to be honest, i also much prefer the killing of idiots over their redemption. i'd much rather built a machine gun nest in a village than a school.
mircea_popescu: dumbest thing in the world, entering into paywell-ing competitions with idiots.
mircea_popescu: it'll continue to "pay" forever. back when the brits were machine gunning the zulu "warriors", zulu warrioridiocy was also "paying too well"
mircea_popescu: so as to actually do something with themselves, as opposed to continuing with idiocy ad idem.
mircea_popescu: the idea was that all the idle fuckwits making up some portion of the 10 billion bipedal cows befouling god's green earth for no purpose and to no benefit will drop their idiotic ways and present themselves for service.
diana_coman: hm, did qntra ever try specifically to get new writers (and I do mean from outside #trilema really)? or was the idea that some will emerge out of the readers? for that matter I have no idea if/how much is qntra read outside here.
mircea_popescu: in other unexpected sideways minutia, i'm drinking from this bottle of... jurajska. woda z glebi jury. jurov want a picture ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, would you say the share system of compensation is rather a help or rather a hindrance in acquiring new writers for the qntra ?
diana_coman: I think it's the auction bot here only
mircea_popescu: the many blessings of travel, you get to debug a random pile of strange every short time interval with arbitrarily limited toolsets. and people enjoy this! people who don't even get to play with the bodies of the local choicer bits. incomprehensible.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker, this terminal is eating the final portion of my lines, when they break in two parts.

mircea_popescu: the general expectation of the pantsuit that their century-long loud noise has eliminated the possibility of thought as a backing of human activity is why they're so fucking [http://trilema.com/2015/so-i-found-the-libertard-motherlode/#select
mircea_popescu: there's two ways to organize human activity : either you sit and think about right and wrong, or else you pick the next-easiest thing. the former produces the republic, the latter produces the empire, with its sorted "market" of "bids" of easiness. these flow NECESSARILY from that choice. that's all, the economic underpinning of the divide is simply and wholly there.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how to get this point across moreso than this, and the previous installment, and the ones before that. but somehow it's gotta be gotten across, because apparently it's the one place everything hangs from.
