11:37 mircea_popescu but hey, the world's bigger than transylvania
11:37 phf it's poor turn of phrase, but in this case i meant that wealth lets you find solutions to logistical problems
11:37 mircea_popescu you haven't just said "by definition" without actually having a definition in mind have you ? tsk tsk.
11:38 mircea_popescu anyway : you can only solve problems you perceive as problems.
11:38 mircea_popescu wealth insulates from the perception of problems, which is how you end up with the jewish princess.

11:45 phf well, wealth eliminates problems, higher up the scale you go, less things are problems, with some maximums like the jewish princess, or other stereotypes like a completely out of teach rich person. my point is there is long tale of sufficiently wealthy people who can hang out with rednecks, and then hop on a plane to goa for a month

14:23 gabrielradio 'the colorblind can see through many kinds of camouflage. Because they’re not distracted by colors, they can often see the contours of a thing—it’s outline—with unusual clarity. Even so, despite this upside, being colorblind is, on balance, a net handicap to the colorblind individual. They’re missing out on a great deal.'
14:23 gabrielradio 'Cynics (...) who are especially good at seeing through bullshit pay dearly for their gift. I suspect that being able to see past nuance comes at a cost. The ability to rapidly reduce complicated moral questions into simple either/or propositions is probably a function of an absence. To wit: the moral clarity of most cynics is probably a function of some sort of emotional colorblindness.'

18:45 pete_dushenski useful info to be gleaned as well
18:45 ben_vulpes how are you going to lose the crew and not the plane, praytell
18:45 ben_vulpes given that the ejector seats are to save the staff at the expense of hardware.
18:46 pete_dushenski for the sake of argument, let's say that the plane will depreciate sufficiently to accommodate for loss of life. so $115 mn lost, but info gained. or $115 lost and no info gained.
18:46 adlai "write off" doesn't mean the plane gets scrapped and resold as coke cans

18:53 pete_dushenski ben_vulpes: loss of life 'costs' something, which is presumably fixed in this example, whereas 'value' of plane decreases over time, starting at $115 mn and eventually ending up at whatever the scrap is worth melted down.
18:53 pete_dushenski along the continuum of depreciation, the net loss in the plane's 'value' will equal the 'cost' of crew life, ya ?
