asciilifeform: a device of sympathetic magic ?
mircea_popescu: but anyway - i suppose the first symtpom of the barrier giving way is when you start including specific amulet comments
asciilifeform: but i would like to see why mircea_popescu considers the code - sane, and my picture of the rest - not.
asciilifeform: i get what mircea_popescu is saying, 'the man is a lunatic but somehow capable of engineering sanely'
asciilifeform: what would the code look like if this were not so ?
mircea_popescu: hopefully the barrier lasts.
mircea_popescu: but the wonder is that you manage to maintain this weird somehow encapsulated while writing code. one would find the notion improbable, on the face, but then again i've read said code.
asciilifeform: i mean, pretty much my whole existence is a theft
asciilifeform: which theft ?
mircea_popescu: your "notion of how swift works" has absolutely nothing to do with swift, working or notions, and everything to do with you justifying your own theft which happened to touch of swift so now yhou have a "hypothesis" about that.
mircea_popescu: mno. the policeman looks at the item, and asks question. the psychotic thief looks AT THE POLICEMAN and "answers" question.
asciilifeform: and if i ask a fella what he had for dinner, his reponse also dies with the question, no ?
mircea_popescu: it's the response to the question ; it only exists with the question, dies with the last echo of the question. it has no factual basis.
asciilifeform: the thief's justification is ~of~ something
mircea_popescu: "but you did take the thing and put it up your ass" "yes but no it wasn't a thing not my ass not me"
mircea_popescu: justification is the verbiage produced in response to inquiry.
mircea_popescu: mno. you are ready to either accept it as a valid justification, or else accept it as a justification that needs futher justification.
mircea_popescu: because you aren't in control of the cognitive process that involves it.
asciilifeform: is it because i cannot access the priors ?
mircea_popescu: it can not be true or false. as long as it's what you need to believe, it'll be there.
mircea_popescu: there is no possibility of truth in your system.
mircea_popescu: hypothesis ?
asciilifeform: not intricate, but particular hypothesis
asciilifeform: and thereby subject to retconning if 'international komyooonity' wills it
asciilifeform: i will readily admit that i have not one iota of a clue re: how it works, other than it being not-bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: the path to mp world starts by now fucking having an opinion about how swift works when you've sent a grand total of... 0 ? 10 ? what is it ?
mircea_popescu: arguments are neither possible nor interesting.
asciilifeform: so the reversibility of swift and it having master control panel is not a fact of the universe we live in ?
mircea_popescu: "you are lacan. your picture of the universe is complete and unrelated to any extant universe. have fun with it."
mircea_popescu: i'm not engaging that particular insanity any further.
mircea_popescu: i'm thoroughly exhausted all patience trying to engage the thing, so let's just let you live in your own world and mark once and forever that i lend it exactly the aforementioned credence.
asciilifeform: so show me the light, mircea_popescu : swift is a reversible fiat thing. no?
