trinque: subject either notices their futile loops or goes crazy. either result works.

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2019-11-01#1001118 << with all respect, spyked , this is not accurate. if asciilifeform 'wanted to work alone', would've stayed off the net.

asciilifeform: spyked: working with (not even to discuss 'under command of') a fella who earnestly thinks you're equiv. of a sofa -- even if you think he takes pretty good care of his furniture -- is simply a bad idea, on approx. the level of putting your head into a cocked bear trap.

asciilifeform: it may be possible for there to be ~trade~ (i.e. cash on barrelhead, 0 credit extended) b/w folx who see ea. other as untermenschen/furniture. there are historic examples ( e.g. silk road in afganistan , portuguese in japan, englishmen in china ) but rare, generally folx dun bother, it is difficult to arrange safely .

shinohai: Interesting trilema piece, complete with fiddle sounds and wisps of Roman smoke.

asciilifeform: shinohai: when yer an mp, as i understand, you can interact w/ a) slaves b) enemies c) folx who dun properly fit the characteristics of either , are 'npc' (or if you prefer, 'furniture') . d) partners -- is not on the menu.

asciilifeform: i dun even presume to say that this is a handicap. maybe he's the 1 able-bodied alive, and errybody else tard. how would a sofa know the answer to this.

shinohai: At least sofa has modicum of loyalty, despite being inanimate obj

asciilifeform: shinohai: sofas aint alive. they do not have 'loyalty' or 'disloyalty', these concepts only make sense in the life of ~people~. ( is your sofa 'disloyal' when it pops a spring or a cushion rips ? are you 'disloyal to your sofa' when you throw it out then and buy new sofa ?? )

asciilifeform: shinohai: i am honouring my agreements w/ mp because afaik he's a living human -- and not turned into a wood an' cloth household object. what sort of bit flipped in his head, and how he sees asciilifeform , dun affect this ( tho admittedly i aint sure wai he bothers to converse with, and even carry out agreements, w/ sofa . would you ? )

diana_coman: asciilifeform: fwiw "furniture/sofa" simply stands for "won't adapt despite feedback"; but I'll take trinque's advice and shut up.

asciilifeform wonders whether he's the only 1 who actually takes mp at face value. imho he's a fella who means what he says.

asciilifeform: and i could just as easily say same, 'mp -- won't adapt despite feedback'. but afaik there aint actually a debate, there's 2 nutters and a buncha folx who want to 'flow w/ current', afaik, is all.

shinohai: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2019-11-01#1001131 <<< Bad analogy perhaps, but would still trust my sofa more than greater % of most folks.
