Mats_cd03: > Alfalfa growers are now exporting some 100 billion gallons of water a year from this drought-ridden region to the other side of the world in the form of alfalfa. All as more Asians are embracing the American-style, meat-hungry diet.
Mats_cd03: > but the Rancho incident reminds us that plants aren’t slaughtered, a process that demands 132 gallons of water per animal carcass, contributing even more to livestock’s expanding water footprint.

mircea_popescu: and then it wont be.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so let's all just pretend like it could never be the case,
Mats_cd03: now europeans have to worry about russians bending them over heating oil too
mircea_popescu: rather than whatever useful thing he should be.
mircea_popescu: which is why a procrastinating dork will happily do the god-awful work of clicking through websites
mircea_popescu: benkay: it's downright baffling, chetty. take, for instance, the podcast noted above. how much more work is it to do that thing than to just write out one's thoughts? << you miss out on the point that people would love to do work they can do.
LordPutin: you could have sleepovers and talk about bitcoin all night and groom eachothers neckbeards

mircea_popescu: woman loses 30 iq points for the first year
nubbins`: Mats_cd03: in fact, if you exclude women who have children, there's still income disparity
Mats_cd03: so...the corresponding salary differential is a product of that, but in many fields they have parity
Mats_cd03: people look at salary averages for men and women, and temporarily forget women sometimes allow a parasite to grow inside them for close to a year that makes them worthless for productive work
nubbins`: have you noticed that people who offer asinine statements like yours are usually neckbeards who have an unrealistic concept of women based solely on their years of internet wizardry?
LordPutin: have you notice that women want to be the boss and make the same or even more money than men but still want you to pay for dinner?
Mats_cd03: definitely not the norm
nubbins`: something like 70% of the employees at my last job were women
nubbins`: what the fuck is a gender role in IT
mircea_popescu: pretty fucking funny evolution, and i suppose the blueprint will be copied amply.
mircea_popescu: in other news, the somethingawful coverage of bitcoin has changed from "clearly the people behind bitcoin are marginal fuckwits who don't understand central topics everyone else understands" two years ago to "clearly the media is writing positive articles because it talks to a general audience which is very poorly educated and doesn't understand central topics only we understand"

mircea_popescu: nubbins` consider the case of, here's this woman and she'll do anything you tell her to do, and nothing else. at least as best she can help it. what now ?
mircea_popescu: slightly different problems, these.

mircea_popescu: well that works out then.

mircea_popescu: it's a joke like we do on the internets,
ThickAsThieves: but then people might make fun of me!
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves amusingly, it's exactly the converse. in public he can stand symbolic, in private he can't be more than just himself.
asciilifeform: 'solve the problems of wealth inequality' is usually 'duckspeak' (see orwell)
mircea_popescu: "bitcoin will solve the problems of wealth inequality" like hell it will
asciilifeform: journarasts fear real-time net witnesses in exactly the same way that mythological vampire fears sunlight and crucifix
mircea_popescu: symptomatically... the people who will most get raped tend to flock to it and do a bunch of ablutions pretending like it's the opposite
mircea_popescu: anyway, anonimity, privacy, these are categories amply disrupted by bitcoin i would say
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves basically "Privacy exists as a hiding place for the deviant, so as to have a space where his inadequacy to the rules isnt directly, painfully or dangerously visible. At least within some limits theres nothing wrong with that (but it does carry the seeds of insanity)."
ThickAsThieves: exhibited constantly nonetheless
ThickAsThieves: well the behavior is retarded,yes
mircea_popescu: he looks stupid either way anyway.
ThickAsThieves: they dont want to LOOK stupid
asciilifeform: the one with brezhnev?
ThickAsThieves: i have a theory for at least a factor contributing to this behavior
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform remind me to tell you the icecream joke. it's one of my favs, but it has to be performed rather than told, so.
mircea_popescu: well no, but i never cared to think about these items before it seems
ThickAsThieves: i get people saying they dont remember my email
mircea_popescu: just like nobody at the sec ever considered stuff.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves to be flatly honest, i suspect these just aren't matters that anyone over there ever considered. at all.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so then how can what he says be useful or meaningful ?
mircea_popescu: what the fuck
mircea_popescu: there's been a digital revolution since, which they've been covering ad nauseam ever since hte days of the information superhighway
mircea_popescu: i mean these people are what, in 1970 ?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yet the value of my work, as public as it is, far exceeds the value of his work.
mircea_popescu: i mean wasn't anything of much interest, i guess, and i'm trying to be hospitable/accomodating to the strange mores of these foreign peoples,

mircea_popescu: course most of that happened before mothers were automatised away from the childrearing process, so traditionally it's noted as "i want my mommy"

BingoBoingo: chetty: A big problem with bitcoin podcasts is the voices of the presenters in many cases, just weren't meant to be heard

benkay: it's downright baffling, chetty. take, for instance, the podcast noted above. how much more work is it to do that thing than to just write out one's thoughts?
BingoBoingo: Well, Bill Murray aligns himself with the Usurper regime from chicago
chetty: the trend to video for everything is awful. people to lazy to write/read :(
benkay: implicit due to previous conversations is the notion that america doesn't produce worthwhile comedy.
