mircea_popescu: or maybe different teeny slut wore the same buttstring to teh beach.
mircea_popescu: depends to. the problem here is that high value males are interested in owning females, not interested in producing litter. consequently, western world has fertility crisis.
mircea_popescu: if society were actually sane, i'd prolly reproduce, so the cost issue is iffy.
mircea_popescu: even without shoehorning "hitler" in here, the only sane way reproduction works is that i have life and death power over any offspring until they go on their own.
mircea_popescu: then the female drive to reproduce is finally balanced, and i frankly wouldn't care if they want or don't want to get pregnant, make your own choices.

mircea_popescu: demographically it's rather lulzy, tho. take europe : it went through three to twelve generations of this negative selection, 0 reproduction from higher value individuals, depending how you count the generations. and, woe of woes : BEFORE, the better tatars came raiding, and raped. so it fixed things, for a century or two.
mircea_popescu: but now, the higher value arabs are ALSO sitting home with the bitches, and sending the runts over.
mircea_popescu: it's like, "take the lowest quartile of this population, let it reproduce with the lower quartile of that population, see what you get"
mircea_popescu: that's the thing various derps dun wanna say. sure, numerically, 500mn europe, what does it care about 5mn immigrants.
mircea_popescu: well, it cares, because that 500mn europe has a 1.x children per woman, and 90% of them are made with idiots, and the 5mn are... also idiots. once you start looking at the actual demographic breakdown, it couldn't really take 50k of the derps.

mircea_popescu: and mind you, the idiocy is quite infectious. they way they state it is that "eu-28 showed signs of increasing fertility but the trend reversed".
mircea_popescu: irl, "romania, poland et all didn't have the problem - until they joined eu".
mircea_popescu: because yes, romania poland et all did have a sort-of, "i made you an' ima kill you, now go learn that fucking multiplication table". again, until "aquis"

mircea_popescu: problem being that every tard out there already "feels like he's secretly in a movie", so this, much like gestapo stuff generally, is well desired by the genpop.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'll have to think of an axis on which to turn artifact news.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> by dieboldian fiat, naturally << The beauty of the diebold rigging is the 53% mandate makes things look contested while still ensuring safety for the most scaled lizards
mircea_popescu: think about yourself as a reader. then read it. is the piece all it could have been ?
mircea_popescu: i find this proposition that there actually exists a us elite utterly hysterical.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You're confusing Trump the character and Trump the actor

mircea_popescu: i'm thoroughly exhausted all patience trying to engage the thing, so let's just let you live in your own world and mark once and forever that i lend it exactly the aforementioned credence.
mircea_popescu: i'm not engaging that particular insanity any further.
mircea_popescu: "you are lacan. your picture of the universe is complete and unrelated to any extant universe. have fun with it."
mircea_popescu: and note that this is no argument ; this is a judgement.
mircea_popescu: the path to mp world starts by now fucking having an opinion about how swift works when you've sent a grand total of... 0 ? 10 ? what is it ?
mircea_popescu: so you're engaging in intricate description of an item you've never seen. you need explanation of why this is psychotic ?

mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, the name for what you put out is not "hypothesis", it's justification.
mircea_popescu: it can not be true or false. as long as it's what you need to believe, it'll be there.
mircea_popescu: because you aren't in control of the cognitive process that involves it.
mircea_popescu: mno. you are ready to either accept it as a valid justification, or else accept it as a justification that needs futher justification.
mircea_popescu: justification is the verbiage produced in response to inquiry.
mircea_popescu: "why did you steal ?" "i had to i didnt really steal it wasn't me"|
mircea_popescu: "but you did take the thing and put it up your ass" "yes but no it wasn't a thing not my ass not me"
mircea_popescu: it's the response to the question ; it only exists with the question, dies with the last echo of the question. it has no factual basis.
mircea_popescu: mno. the policeman looks at the item, and asks question. the psychotic thief looks AT THE POLICEMAN and "answers" question.
mircea_popescu: your "notion of how swift works" has absolutely nothing to do with swift, working or notions, and everything to do with you justifying your own theft which happened to touch of swift so now yhou have a "hypothesis" about that.
mircea_popescu: had it touched elephants, you'd have a justification about elephant anatomy, just as well.
mircea_popescu: that is not a question i can actually answer, i don't know you well enough
mircea_popescu: besides this should be 1/4btc per hour and i should have a sofa./
mircea_popescu: if i ever move to portland and open a shrink practice ima send you a flyer.
mircea_popescu: but the wonder is that you manage to maintain this weird somehow encapsulated while writing code. one would find the notion improbable, on the face, but then again i've read said code.
mircea_popescu: but anyway - i suppose the first symtpom of the barrier giving way is when you start including specific amulet comments
mircea_popescu: basically. spurious item of presumed physical effectiveness predicated on the basis of metaphysical considerations.
mircea_popescu: yes, they are. for as long as they're decorative, it's one thing.
mircea_popescu: once they become necessary and "necessarily effectual", it gets iffy
mircea_popescu: in any case - lunacy is not here contemplated. lunacy is actually in practice a very high bar of achievement. you're just weird, which is boringly common, especially in accomplished folks.
mircea_popescu: (technically speaking, the mp license is actually an anti-amulet, in the sense that it makes life impossible for a certain sort of lunatic. inasmuch as its effectiveness is not predicated on metaphysical but on quite physical considerations, it's just a virus.)
mircea_popescu: mind, selling amulets is a trade like any other trade. wearing them is what was being discussed.
mircea_popescu: that's not the proper approach there. consider that you'd "entertain laughably innacurate hypothesis" about a) things that really make no difference to you ; b) with which you have absolutely no experience and c) that have exactly nothing in common with a hypothesis and everything in common with an article of faith.
mircea_popescu: you could trivially test this swift hypothesis of yours you know - wire a grand to the next nigerian to visit your inbox then write to your bank to reverse it.
mircea_popescu: it's remarkably open and well documented for a fiat banking thing.
mircea_popescu: so there's a meta-documentation that's secret and a faux documentation that's published ?
mircea_popescu: (actually, amusingly enough, swift docs date from just about the era ada was fashionable. there was such a time - just like that time in the 90s when everyone was eager to implement linux-y things and you didn't really have to sell it at all, whole cities just switched for no reason)

mircea_popescu: in a sense i can see it, must be satisfying to actually MAKE something in postsociety.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo "sfly & piot" is a pretty good find! << which is this?
granny: The bet here bitbet.us/bet/1248/ethereum-to-top-1-billion-market-cap-before/ is resolved, as Ethereum just surpassed billion market cap.
mircea_popescu: ponzi ahoy, should be funny to see what next week brings. 1 trn ? 1 bjln ?
granny: Hi, the link to coincap.io shows over a billion right now
granny: 800 million is from the graph which is wrong

mircea_popescu: either totally wrong or totally right or w/e. i guess mods will see to it.
mircea_popescu: if derpy site is going to print numbers, might as well print the same ones. one'd think.
granny: Well, it's over a billion at coinmarketcap, so I know the number's I'd trust there.
