Look more closely: Large numbers of the kind of people who become Lisp hackers would have to cooperate with each other.

09:34 phf ben_vulpes: http://www.winestockwebdesign.com/Essays/Lisp_Curse.html << i am surprised that this has not yet been linked here << it's a whole genre, with roots in usenet days. "~i~ of course grok lisp, but the masses won't, so i use perl, which is as good, so ya'll should stop whatever you're doing". has the standard reaction of "where the fuck are you idiots coming from". naggum gained his notoriety mostly by arguing with these people,
09:34 phf unsuccessfully
09:35 mircea_popescu more importantly - arguing with these people FROM A POSITION OF EQUALITY.
09:35 mircea_popescu it'd necessarily be and remain unsuccessful, for as long as naggum thinks socialism works, the idiots keep spawning. they come... from him.
09:45 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: let's say he... hadn't. what then ?
09:46 mircea_popescu you can't posit a negative.
09:46 asciilifeform why the fuck not ?
09:47 mircea_popescu because you have to posit something that can be. negatives can't be - that's what they are, non-being.
09:47 mircea_popescu if you prefer - you can't meta-posit. plox posit like common folk, dismoun.
09:47 asciilifeform fine, let's say he had argued from a position of man-cockroach superiority
09:47 mircea_popescu dismount*
09:47 mircea_popescu asciilifeform so he has a) other men ; b) some good reason he's entertaining cockroaches ?
09:47 mircea_popescu example :
09:48 mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-08-2014#792152
09:48 assbot Logged on 12-08-2014 02:19:55; mircea_popescu: you don't get to say how these debates work. again, because bitcoin.
09:50 mircea_popescu understand that it is never upon the cockroach to explain why man doesn't have house. that's what the duality is all about.
09:50 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: recall, eventually he woke up to the futility of entertaining cockroaches.
09:50 asciilifeform naggum died in '09, his last usened post - circa '04.
09:50 mircea_popescu this is not for a second what's spoken of here.
09:50 asciilifeform *usenet
09:50 mircea_popescu so bum in train station woke up to futility of entertaining cockroaches ? and what, moved on to rats ?
09:50 asciilifeform moved on to ????.
09:50 mircea_popescu how about get a fucking job, buy a house...
09:51 mircea_popescu bum that died in ditch, whether he was or was not playing with cockrtoaches in the few minutes prior, still was and died a bum.
09:51 asciilifeform my understanding is that herr n. had money, which was then taken by the crown, the story is in the logz.
09:51 mircea_popescu perhaps.
09:52 mircea_popescu point remains - no house, how are you man ?
09:52 mircea_popescu boy, perhaps ?
09:52 mircea_popescu one day to be man ?
09:52 asciilifeform for this question, not to me, but straight to primo levi's 'if this is a man'.
09:52 phf i think on top of his fine personal qualities, naggum had an unhealthy obsession, because the system was new and there was no hygiene
09:52 asciilifeform (concerning auschwitz.)
09:53 mircea_popescu phf i do not say this necessarily to bellitle the man in question. but the matter must be said i nthe plainest terms for posteriority.
09:53 mircea_popescu aristotle also did not have condoms, to his detriment, but readily excused.
09:53 asciilifeform i still want to know what mircea_popescu sees naggum as ought to have done.
09:54 mircea_popescu made b-a.
09:54 asciilifeform out of what ?
09:54 mircea_popescu bitch, what is this!
09:54 mircea_popescu "make a house" "out of what" "fuck you."
09:54 asciilifeform srsly bitcoin did not exist.
09:54 mircea_popescu so ?
09:54 asciilifeform l. davinci had a better chance of building a radio set.
09:54 mircea_popescu so ?
09:54 asciilifeform than naggum - b-a.
09:54 mircea_popescu what the fuck do you think this is, school ?
09:54 mircea_popescu "but teacher, this shouldn't be on the exam, we didn't have it in class!"
09:55 mircea_popescu everything is on the exam. including stuff from the future.
09:55 mircea_popescu better get good at reading the future.
09:55 asciilifeform one day, martian ship lands on mircea_popescu's roof. with difficulty, commander directs him to build a new bzorktl to replace the burned out one.
09:56 asciilifeform but yes, condom is on aristotle's exam.
09:56 phf b-a restructured my thinking about how to talk to people, "oh hey ~you~ engaged ~me~, and i'm no longer entertained". to some extent naggum taught a lot of lispers on how to deal with trolls. i saw edi weitz engaged on this subject by random derps at conferences, he nods, politely, once or twice, then walks away. and not just him. but naggum example is very specific to troll engagement, so..
09:56 mircea_popescu phf not a matter of trolls, mind.
09:56 asciilifeform phf: it is an astonishingly valuable tool.
09:56 mircea_popescu trolls are quite respectable fellows
09:56 mircea_popescu idiots are not.
09:57 phf right right
09:58 mircea_popescu and i'm not for a second proposing i'm better or anything. i have the purely accidental benefit of having spent a lot of my youthful years in this position where people did not fucking dare even open the trap. whereas most smart kids of the sort society tends to castrate for fattening live quite otherwise.
09:58 mircea_popescu but all this is besides the point : there's a right way and wrong ways and there's all there is to it.
10:06 mircea_popescu (but yes, capon is the word. the moment you see a kid with a "college education" "despising" violence, you know precisely the fuck's going on. as per alf's discussion of those exploited monkeys, exactly. oxen gathering together to talk out of line about the bull's specific smell.)
10:07 asciilifeform if the only kind of violence you can picture is of the farmer, against your own neck - then yes, pig despises.
10:07 asciilifeform why shouldn't he.
10:07 mircea_popescu this... separation, shall we call it, between intelligent man (ie, he who could put the balls to use) and "orc", ie, man with all the parts still attached is INTEGRAL for ...
10:08 mircea_popescu not for civilisation, mind. for this ugly rat of a creature that is really copyrasty and pretense, part of which pretense is to call self civilisation
10:08 mircea_popescu meanwhile, one of the least civilised things ever contemplated.
10:08 asciilifeform quite arguably rome had it.
10:08 mircea_popescu an empire must have it.
10:08 asciilifeform aha.
10:08 mircea_popescu rome the worth the mention rome, did not.
10:08 mircea_popescu it instead had the quite plain understanding that civilisation is what happens at the other end of the mentula.
10:09 mircea_popescu or to quote, "mentula cum doleat imperio, tibi, lector, culus. non sum divinus..."
10:09 asciilifeform l0l!

17:26 phf i'll have to lookup relevant materials, since it's not in logs, but there are some threads on debian (or maybe duvian or whatever it's called) mail, that explain how to setup a semi automated build of deb packages, and there's some equivalent of useflags that let you control the deb build. so can rebuild entire stack into own package repository, have a decrufted b-a apt source, that's not necessarily audited, but at the very least
17:26 phf doesn't have freedesktop/systemd/...

23:13 mircea_popescu motherfucker. so i go to grande fiesta argentina club/teatro blabla bla. one girl in a corset, the other girl in a cuntskirt, nice stuff. i get there, it's a dingy fucking affair the likes you've never seen, and a bunch of retards in jeans and tshirts queued around the fucking corner waiting for the shithole to open.
23:13 mircea_popescu i end up spending 150 pesos on cabs and 50 pesos on coffee across the fucking square, because argentines are truly and utterly retarded. why make a grand off a fellow when you could just as well make nothing at all and go home to the tv ?
23:14 mircea_popescu on that same square, a mcdonalds on two fucking levels. larger than the supposed club. better light, better accomodation throughout. this brings them no fucking thoughts.
23:26 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: whatever you have in mind, almost certainly can be done without luciferin...
23:28 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Thing can be done, but not with the same novelty along the way.
