mircea_popescu: also, om din topor, man of the axe, how you say redneck.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: normally -ище is... sort ~opposite~ of dimunitive. but in this case is the haft.
mircea_popescu: (the original "i'm a little bit country / i'm a little bit rock'n'roll" fairitale was told by lenatus to the plebs of 500bc, btw.)
mircea_popescu: in fact, we need to NOT have them.
mircea_popescu: but note that the original reason there (the romans ~actually needed~ the plebs, to fight the volsci / latins) is no longer present. we absolutely and emphatically do not need mok-shen's "common people" for any purpose.
mircea_popescu: so if you prefer the reference, there will be no lenatus compromise and no fucking lex publilia.
trinque: there'll be a brief wallet outage starting now. doing some network fiddling.
mircea_popescu: in this sense sure, original rome as the patrician class with its clientelar syste was "checked" ie infected with doom-ruin by the imbecile plebs, resulting in the creation of the plebs tribune (ironically, the ~reason~ later emperor was sacrosanct -- he was also the tribune of plebs)
mircea_popescu: well, it was said in these logs and it's still true that rome is well summarized by observing some people built some benches in a park somewhere and spent a millenium thenceforth sorting out who should sit where on them.
asciilifeform: i.e. a resurrection of the item that killed rome.
asciilifeform: that's the q, are we looking at what amounts to a sov rtg misplaced in the arctic and sawed open by chukcha.
mircea_popescu: it's unclear altogether if late rome had a system at all ; this is a matter open to much scholarly debate.
mircea_popescu: the system which built rome is : in the winter we sit around , in the summer we go rape the idiots, take their shit, melt it down, split it in equal trophies and give one to each man.
mircea_popescu: but the notion of a countCY, and OF X!!!, as opposed to THE count himself is very much redolent of the rotl.
mircea_popescu: took what, 500 years to westphalia, "nation state" ie, "the LAND is the item, people just ants on it"
mircea_popescu: that's the great advantage of the homosexual bottom : even a broomstick can fill it.
mircea_popescu: for what it's worth i see no difference whatsoever between the above eclipse of reasoning and say "if i make it what i think it should be -- it crashes".
asciilifeform: the worrisome aspect imho is that sanity is -- apparently -- fragile, while idiocy -- ratcheting/cumulative
mircea_popescu: does ~this~ count as a "beginning" then ? that men who can't think end up doing http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-09#1767798 ?
mircea_popescu: and godefroy says, "look at you, fool, you had your own sovereign crown (hugh was an earl, at the time this was sovereign) but had to come here and became a slave for it, and now try to sell me on it as if it were some great progress ?"
mircea_popescu: no, godefroy was naught else than a man. as per that shaw description, "the panache" etc.
mircea_popescu: and he tries to sell this to godfrey of bouillon, who was a lord at the time. this doesn't mean "rich" or "powerful" or any pantsuit nonsense of today, trying to explain exactly why it shouldn't be the case you even try.
mircea_popescu: without an army, or any resources, or you know, the forethought to have at the very least packed up that eclipse for later, hugh understands the precarity of his position, and so is a great supporter of the byzantine king.
mircea_popescu: ok. and the father takes them in hand and rapes them around discreetely, yes. you know, like us presidents are invited at banquets but "can't go there sir".

mircea_popescu: it's what i heard, "diaphanous, as in, if you're not familiar with the whole tree of medieval history and social theory, the jumps are a little wide".
asciilifeform: this is interesting and makes sense and imho would make a spiffy trilema article ( sequel to the one from last hr, with the italian film , perhaps )
mircea_popescu: it shouldn't have been permitted then, as it's been methodically not permitted in this here republic since inception.
mircea_popescu: the venue through which the socialist disaster happened happens to be "reason" in a particular pantsuit reinterpretation -- the bitcoin cash of worms introduced "reasonable" basis for taxation on the basis of "land resources", and from there on this non-reason worked its poison into the whole gamut of idiocy on display today.
mircea_popescu: then the pantsuit centered in rome attempted the bitcoin cash of worms, and it's been going towards building marx's paradise -- a world devoid of any people -- ever since.
mircea_popescu: feudalism was 100% republic, entirely existing as relationships between people, with no regard to anything -- not to the herds of cattle, of any kind, nor to land or weirs of fishing or any other nonsense.
asciilifeform: or do i misunderstand what is supposed to have begun with the 'concordat'
asciilifeform: they've prolly existed longer than scribes, or even archers , or horseman.
asciilifeform: dunno that this is a necessary hypothesis : the shaman who demanded share of mammoth meat for 'getting crocodilegod to barf the sun back out' is item that goes back to prehistory
mircea_popescu: the proposal is nothing less than to have identified the exact point in history where the pantsuit forked off the chain.
ben_vulpes: ah that's where the moth scent line came from
asciilifeform: chopper could, theoretically, do 'pinpoint' needlework , that fixwing could not, e.g. limpet onto ~particular~ car
mircea_popescu: but yes, the point stands : useful limit of combustion-powered flying machine is more like 5kgs not the 50kgs i originally imagined.
asciilifeform: depending on what the objective is, that kg can do useful work ( say you're to torch something... )
mircea_popescu: oh that's what it was! the fuel weight!
asciilifeform: to be fair , these do require nitrofuel
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno now why i thought the limit is a degree of magnitude higher on both energy and size.
mircea_popescu: in fact : 750W at 50% conversion can provide a lot of lift -- if the whole thing it's embedded in is 1kg, your energetic expenditure per meter lift is not even 10J. can do 75m/s theoretically.
mircea_popescu: turns out i actually misunderstand the limits of materials!
