asciilifeform recalls wunderbar speech by mp in chinese restaurant at his timis '2nd conference', where 'there is no such thing as not a scam, errything's a scam from someone's pov' |

That comment without considering the context does give a sense, it's similar when you give your gold to be stored in usg's vault. |
| 12:12 |
jurov |
However, mircea is no sovereign party, just a rando who calls his slaves "lords of the republic". |
| 12:15 |
jurov |
How come noone is going to pay 30 BTC for a detective or someone such to handle the matter properly, instead of "advocacy", is beyond my grasp. |
| 12:17 |
jurov |
CoinBr is not going to, I don't want to anything with mp anymore and I'm washing my hands off that. However if anyone does do the above, I can supply all available information. |
| 12:19 |

shinohai always thought Republics were the antithesis of monarchies ..... |
| 12:21 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: i suspect that it'd cost a bit moar than 30btc to fetch mp and plug'im into 220v. which is what it'd take. |
| 12:21 |
asciilifeform |
as i understand, it's what he means by 'sovereign'. |
| 12:21 |
asciilifeform |
i.e. 'you want yer coin back? you and what army?' |
| 12:23 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: the good noose is, deedbot still plugged in (in e.g. #trinque iirc atm), can give the fella his proper rating for 0 cost |
| 12:29 |
jurov |
idk, mere -10 wouldn't do it justice |
| 12:31 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: in the world he claimed to have come from, this kind of behaviour gets folx killed. but, by same logic, if none of the victims seem to weigh enough to bite back properly, then 'fair game' . |
| 12:34 |
jurov |
Pls don't use his bullshit in any reasoning, not even about itself/himself. No sanity is to be had there. |
| 12:49 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: dunno, it seems to make perfect sense to me. 'you were dumb enuff to gimme what to steal, i'ma steal, muhaha, whatcha gonna do about it'. |
| 12:52 |
asciilifeform |
jurov: it aint as if mp were unique specimen, either. we're stuck on a whole planet fulla similar folx. and he's relatively small change, moar of a venus flytrap than proper predator ( i.e. i dun recall him going to anyone's house to put pistol to head and force to use mpex ) |
| 12:53 |
asciilifeform |
( if his bragging is to be believed, then -- maybe when was younger, and before it was called 'mpex' . but certainly not in recent times. ) |
| 13:03 |
asciilifeform |
the 'muhaha' that made mpex 'sexy' from 'anarchic' pov , cuts both ways. |
| 13:06 |
asciilifeform |
and imho, the folx who paid, got what they were paying for : 1000km of blog about 'majesty', 10GB of photos of naked chix eating caviar, etc. ( if they thought they were paying for 'like nasdaq but w/out confiscations', they were morons, it's a perpetuum mobile and there aint no such thing ) |

I'm reminded of my article on the value of sloth and apathy, which I need to update; apathy towards goings ons has saved me more than once from unpleasant results, and sloth has saved me where apathy wouldn't've. |
| 16:11 |
asciilifeform |
verisimilitude: the 1 problem w/ that approach is that it logically reduces to 'best life is as corpse' |
| 16:21 |
shinohai |
Experiments fail. But at least one learns what *doesn't* work, neh? |
| 16:35 |
verisimilitude |
I've noticed roughly the same thing, asciilifeform, which is part of why I don't follow it in all aspects of life. Still, the sheer amount of unpleasant things I've avoided due to it should be recognized. |

verisimilitude: ever meet folx who suddenly buy 'harley' at 50+ y.o. ? it happens so regularly in usa that it became stereotype. fella gets bored of waiting to die of old age / boredom / ballpoint pen accident... |

I bought a yamaha at 20-something - discovered the physics of attempting to stop going downhill on gravel and sold it. |
| 17:22 |
thimbronion |
er, kawasaki but yeah. |
| 17:23 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: i knew fella who 'discovered the physics' right in the parking lot. dropped full-scale 'harley' on own leg. |

the dealer dinged him for new paint, but reluctantly took the thing back. |

Communities are perhaps easier to envision for this than possessions, asciilifeform. It's easy for me to reflect and be glad about my apathy towards ``Make Facebook account'' or apparently ``Join TMSR''. |

in usa best known for 'theremin' , 1st musical synth instrument, 1920s |
| 17:53 |
asciilifeform |
he lived to be nearly 100. story goes, he joined kpss in '91. clerk asked him 'wtf'. answered: 'i promised my best friend -- lenin' |

I recall reading about the spying gadget in the US embassy, yes. |

So the point here is ``Better late than never.'' is it? |

asciilifeform |
wasn't joke , either -- they really were friends. taught him to play theremin... |
| 17:59 |
asciilifeform |
point was, 'not join anything, ever' aint much of a way to live. |

Oh, I agree. |

I've been a member of a rather nice group for over five years continuously now, and why else would I be here if I didn't want to associate with those here? |
| 18:07 |

Part of the point with that article is that people view apathy and sloth as purely negative traits, but I disagree. |
