mircea_popescu: Whereas historically a maliciously stupid idea might be contained by geography and manage to make one village suffer while its neighboring town dismissed it, the Internet allows the maliciously stupid to grow self reinforcing networks where they can oppose cognitive function together. << "oppose cognitive function together altogether" lol.
mircea_popescu: The malpid don't have to establish that criticism of them as wrong, because they will instead insist the criticism is mean. When their favored shiny object betrays them, they will insist the criticism could not have been right as it was mean and they were doomed by some nebulous concept; perhaps they invoke "events that transpired", maybe they invoke "people were mean and that destroyed confidence in out project", but
mircea_popescu: whatever they invoke will have been "outside their control".
mircea_popescu: this dude sorta sits there and chats for a while, then makes a post that makes you suspect maybe he understands a lot more than he lets on.

mircea_popescu: wait. isn't a piece of armor made out of floor tile actually going to SHARPEN the blade on its way in ?
mircea_popescu: i know i sometimes crack a tile to make a sharpener if in a pinch
asciilifeform: as far as i can tell, it was suggested against small arms
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Season 3 episode 4 of "Doomsday Preppers" was mining show for lulz to write on in comparison to Doge et all.

chetty: lmao, that magic serum they are testing for ebola, made from tobacco
mircea_popescu: brb lighting a cigar.
mircea_popescu: i am having the cutest avocado in the whole world. roughly the size of an ovary.
chetty: I like the big ones better
mircea_popescu crafitly stops himself before saying something dumb like "about the same texture, too" and inadvertently giving the whole charade away
chetty: hahahahaha
BingoBoingo: chetty> lmao, that magic serum they are testing for ebola, made from tobacco << Mouse antibodies made inside a tobacco plant!
chetty: BingoBoingo, yeah it actually sounds pretty yucky, but I suppose if you are about to die of ebola ...
mircea_popescu: it'd be too late, then
BingoBoingo: The serum's basically 3 different antibodies for three different targets on the Ebola virus found by giving mice ebola until they could create clonal lines for the cells producing these antibodies and then making tobacco grow it all
chetty: mircea_popescu, apparently not, this serum appears to be curing it
BingoBoingo: Generally though if you get a monoclonal antibody that targets something, it's going to kill it. The remarkable thing is they went ahead and found three just to be safe.
mircea_popescu: this is sick, so basically they're inserting the missing antibodies thus allowing macrophages and whatnot to clear it ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The antibodies bind to the virus and... Boom
ben_vulpes: and here i was hoping for a new global pandemic
ben_vulpes: guess the biologists are useful after all
BingoBoingo: Virus torn apart, no longer viable.
mircea_popescu: impressive thing tho.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Problem is scaling up production is a pain...
mircea_popescu: tbh i think this throws a monkey wrench in the future viability of "big pandemic" scenarios.
mircea_popescu: it's vanishingly improbable for an antibody to not exist. thus finding it becomes a matter of... well... how much hashing you're doing
mircea_popescu: so if it comes to it... ten trillion mice. why not.
BingoBoingo: Well, this stuff takes time, but yeah... One thing that makes this easier on Ebola and harder on say the flu though is... Ebola doesn't stay latent in cells
chetty: dont dispair, there are always prions
BingoBoingo: Also why there's no Aids serum working on this principle
mircea_popescu: chetty prions you gotta ctually eat.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo afaik there was.
mircea_popescu: actually, im glad i got you pinned here bb, cause i wanna run this by you see what you think.
mircea_popescu: so, aids "had no cure" for a while in the disco era. but then, late 80s/early 90s a certain thing was found that'd slow down its rate, adding 5 maybe 10 years le if well managed. after much hand wringing this was released to the public,
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo afaik there was. << Problem is living cells (where antibodies don't go) harbor the pathogen in the case of AIDs
ben_vulpes: (topical: .hiv pre-registration went up today)
mircea_popescu: only years later a 2nd thing was found. the magic involved was pretty evil, however :
ben_vulpes: (<Pilate> .hiv pre-registration up this morning... apparently i reserved spread.hiv, spreads.hiv, super.hiv, and selling.hiv)
mircea_popescu: if one had never taken pill 1, then a cocktail of 1+2 would stop the virus for them, pretty much resolving the problem. it'd never clear, but it'd never advance.
mircea_popescu: however, the people that had taken pill 1, then a cockail of 1+2 would be significantly less effecual.
mircea_popescu: basically making it a case of "fu for having taken our medicine".
mircea_popescu: recently a 3rd one was found, which actually clears it
mircea_popescu: and like last year something that works as a pre-emptor.
BingoBoingo: Yeah. AIDs and the resistance it develops is weird.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and like last year something that works as a pre-emptor. << Truvada is the trade name, but this pre-exposure prophylaxis thing has been common for exposed medical workers for years. The new thing is someone let the secret out of the bag.
mircea_popescu: i think the biggest problem bar none of modern society is that average derp can name a dozen "puas" or "important feminists" or whatever th fuck
mircea_popescu: yet i have no idea who even came up with those things.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck led the research effort that made ebola strain '#2 ?
mircea_popescu: who's in charge of the lab that raises the tobacco growing it ?
mircea_popescu: FUCK YOU MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
mircea_popescu: i don't care who obama is.
assbot: Last 6 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/0BZD1T0.txt )
BingoBoingo: AIDs though is weird because of how the virus adapts to drugs in situ. Maybe part of this is just drugs that fight it do so by fucking with DNA/RNA expression... Maybe it is just that much of a natural asshole.
BingoBoingo: At least it isn't in the human genome like Herpes
mircea_popescu: technically it could be
mircea_popescu: if it's fragmented.
BingoBoingo: Well, the it is definitely in particular person's genomes now, but... not across most of the species
mircea_popescu: think of it : monkeys don't suffer much from it, so it's been around for a while. sure yurpeans "discovered it" but it can't possibly be the first case of interaction.
mircea_popescu: for all you know it was part of the ancient egyptian genome, now extinct.
BingoBoingo: Well, that could be.
BingoBoingo: Imagine if Khan swung through Africa before hitting Europe and introduced diseases other than "classic" plague
mircea_popescu: in fact, it COULD be that aids-as part of genome is what makes niggers niggers. as unpleasant at that sounds, it's at least possible, scientifically. yet none of the speculative fiction folk with an axe to grind are using it.
mircea_popescu: testament to the sad ignorance of everyone involved.
BingoBoingo: Lack of historical Small Pox exposure made Americans vulnerable to distilled spirits?
mircea_popescu: and why not ?
mircea_popescu: that's the halmark of speculative fiction. it asks science "and why not" an' science dunno.
chetty: well these days most science seems to get the answer it wants first, then work backwards to the question
mircea_popescu: i think that's been sop for a while.
mircea_popescu: newton got hit in the head by a falling apple... "hmm how could i turn this bump into a research grant"
BingoBoingo: Speculative historical virology... Lots of ground for rich fiction.
mircea_popescu: i mean, the trope itself, "eschatological contagion" is like what, 1/3 of all of it ?
mircea_popescu: yet they never fucking bother to do anything with it, just rehash the same crap.
BingoBoingo remembers first discovering that Malaria, the exotic tropical disease was once endemic to the temperate Middle West
mircea_popescu: well yes ?
mircea_popescu: malaria is not exotic.
mircea_popescu: let me tell you something : 1950s romanian fiction about the life of romanian peastants cca 1900 includes malaria as a common disease.
BingoBoingo: Well, in places corn grows it has become exotic... DDT did some work
mircea_popescu: (and yes these were corn growing ppls)
BingoBoingo: One of the University of Illinois's rare closures came to malaria ~100 years ago. But since the corn growing people here now lack history... Once endemic disease is now exotica
chetty: lack of history is a problem all across the spectrum

thickasthieves: i could be wrong
TomServo: I mean as far as the options market goes.
