fluffypony: mircea_popescu: he had a slide on how Bitcoin solves the Byzantine general's problem
mircea_popescu: things like how trilema shapes the future irrespective of how many derps deem themselves to be "offended" by it and attempt in their meagre way to resist are obviously not well explained by that theory.
ascii_field: think of the fella who first loaded own spoodge onto a microscope slide.
mircea_popescu: a rare enough trait, which is why periods of abundance do not increase the population.
mircea_popescu: so the doctor example is particularly cogent. the doctor, and more generally the scholar (called scientist these days) is the person whose curiosity is inflamed by what makes others puke.
mircea_popescu: so you know, if you decide you hate it then you couldn't possibly (in this worldview) ever learn anything from it, or even examine it critically.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the root is, i suppose, the unwarranted expectation that choice predates existence, and that it necessarily is (not even by god's grace or anything, but immediately) accessible to "thinking people" which the subject will always see himself as. consequently, given that choice predates existence, and given that it is necessarily accessible, it then follows that one may only be informed by things one approves of.
mircea_popescu: ironically, half the time this happens in response to someone asking b-a to stop being so radically self-centered.
mircea_popescu: well, the role of b-a in most people's lives at this point is i suppose this critical if at times forcible examination of mental habits and automatisms they hold dear unexamidely.
