| 2022-12-07 | signpost | the dead are dead from cause, not towards purpose. | #pest |
| 2022-08-22 | phf | crtdaydreams, i evoke, ye old from cause rather than to purposes. and that's kind of the point of this whole thread, how are /you/ planning on using pest? | #pest |
| 2021-07-18 | * | signpost reminds whaack of mp's "from cause, not towards purpose", which is perhaps one of the wisest framings signpost encountered. | #asciilifeform |
| 2020-03-17 | BingoBoingo | And so one point from the napkin sketching can be eliminated from cause. | #ossasepia |
| 2019-12-17 | BingoBoingo | diana_coman: In mike_c's case, I am very confident I can make the case that gets his coin back. The argument is grounded in Republican doctrine as I understand it, proceeds from cause, does not import Pantsuitisms, and is incredibly removed from the late ROTA's derpitude. | #trilema |
| 2019-02-18 | trinque | http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-14#1896360 << far better than I could've said it, but yes. your "from cause" is foundational for sanity, let alone republic. I gather some have taken "sanity" as a term of art there, not the literal meaning. | #trilema |
| 2018-12-12 | * | asciilifeform can speak only for self, but on various occasions risked piggy bank to try an' convert from serf to d00d who '100% worx from cause', but on each occasion lost shirt. maybe other l1 folx will have better fortune, and sit on mt olympus with mircea_popescu , i dun presently expect to | #trilema |
| 2018-12-12 | asciilifeform | the 1 occasion where related, is coupla instances in yrs past when asciilifeform's 'from cause' worx ground to a halt on acct of having to earn bread in saeculum, then asciilifeform rolls eyes at folx who 'motherfucker, where is the promised X/Y/Z' | #trilema |
| 2018-09-19 | asciilifeform | ( it was never clear to asciilifeform what the ro, baltic, ukr, etc anti-sov partizans were hoping to accomplish, beyond a good 1st class ticket to honourable valhalla. they could not have glued the world of 1939 back together, and given as they weren't redditards, prolly understood this. so i'm left with 'acted from cause not purpose'(tm)(r) and no better hypothesis. ) | #trilema |
| 2018-08-04 | phf | asciilifeform: presumably it is still a question of strategic superiority. there's no point on wasting resources on things of little consequence. #b-a => #trilema transition happened in a couple of days, with most original infra available within a week. nothing will prevent same when fleanode is defunct, meanwhile no reason to waste any cycles on it. also act from cause | #trilema |
| 2018-06-14 | asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: upstack -- do i misunderstand the model, or is the idea 'troo unbonsaikittened mind , proceeding from cause, will find the republic on own engine power, guaranteed' ? | #trilema |
| 2018-06-14 | mircea_popescu | it's quite another thing to wants ; and yes, he definitely wants, because if he didn't he'd just proceed from cause and would have been here begging his pardons upon the first time he read the logs, rather than fail to do so the 500th. | #trilema |
| 2018-02-13 | asciilifeform | fwiw asciilifeform posts these 'from cause, not purpose' (tm)(r) | #trilema |
| 2018-01-05 | asciilifeform | 'do from cause, not purpose' necessarily includes not giving rat's arse re 'what will lose out to one day when sun burns out' | #trilema |
| 2017-02-26 | mircea_popescu | we aren't actually following a purpose here, like "have a good bitcoin". we're merely proceeding from cause : db is broken and THEREFORE must be fixed. not BECAUSE it would bla bla ; but therefore. | #trilema |
| 2016-12-27 | asciilifeform | (as seen in the 'act from cause' thing etc) | #trilema |
| 2016-09-12 | phf | it's very much an act from cause place by design, and if mp comes as mp and does his mp thing, only people who will complain should and must be fucked with. | #trilema |
| 2016-08-18 | * | asciilifeform asks emulated mircea_popescu , who answers 'from cause!11111' | #trilema |
| 2016-08-13 | asciilifeform | there is 'proceed from cause, damn the torpedoes' but there is also 'first ecstasy, then laundry.' | #trilema |
| 2016-08-13 | mircea_popescu | we just proceed from cause. | #trilema |

| 2016-02-28 | mircea_popescu | "i do x because x IS y" < correct. thought. from cause. | #trilema |
| 2016-02-28 | asciilifeform | how is 'gangrene produces more gangrene' not 'from cause' ? | #trilema |
| 2015-09-12 | asciilifeform | recall 'act from cause not purpose' ? | #trilema |
| 2015-06-20 | asciilifeform | cats 'act from cause, never from purpose' but still have not invented fishing pole. | #trilema |
| 2015-05-01 | asciilifeform | but as a matter of general principle - 'act from cause' (TM) - we oughta have self-contained infrastructure whenever practical. | #trilema |
| 2015-04-23 | mircea_popescu | i am aware this may be hard to impossible to believe, but srsly, i act from cause. | #trilema |
| 2015-04-10 | mircea_popescu | how long before the current processor (that acts from cause) is replaced with a new architecture, more femfriendly ? | #trilema |
| 2015-04-10 | ascii_field | to wrap up the thread, when i spoke of 'fanatic' i was referring precisely to mircea_popescu's 'act from cause not towards purpose' maxim. | #trilema |
| 2015-04-10 | assbot | Logged on 25-02-2015 21:13:46; mircea_popescu: the entire "act from cause not towards purpose" thing on trilema is exactly a vaccine against that. | #trilema |
| 2015-03-06 | asciilifeform | 'from cause rather than from principle' | #trilema |
| 2015-03-06 | asciilifeform | jurov: recall mircea_popescu's 'act from cause not towards purpose' heuristic? it applies here | #trilema |
| 2015-03-05 | mircea_popescu | asciilifeform but this is from cause. | #trilema |
| 2015-02-25 | mircea_popescu | the entire "act from cause not towards purpose" thing on trilema is exactly a vaccine against that. | #trilema |
| 2014-10-31 | mircea_popescu | hence the entire "proceed from cause not towards goals" thing. | #trilema |
