04:07 mircea_popescu if indeed the relation's extensible, then from the fact that literature was born balanced and math balanced in say 2500 years, we can reasonably expect computerism to also balance in 6`250`000 or thereabouts, meaning more or less year 6`250`950.
04:10 mircea_popescu this may seem like a lengthy stretch, but in fact it quite is : linnaeus' own species only speciated about 3-400`000 years ago, the commitment contemplated here's five times what it took to have homo sapiens.

04:42 mircea_popescu and before that, on the trip over to castle, girly kneeling in the dirt by the side of the car in some rural parking lot attracted a... garbage truck! full of garbage men! who parked across and solicitously came over to inquire... whether she "ne

04:46 mircea_popescu full ten years ago, at a wedding, where i was the godfather and took chet to be godmother, the ~other pair~ of godparents (romanians do this groom / bride big/small wedding godparents thing) were these average middle class 30something couple. and the dude finally got sufficiently drunk at the party so as to propose to her! assuring her of his protection and etcetera! in a slurred drunk nonsense, and with his fucking wife r

10:58 mircea_popescu asciilifeform, well, not deceased afaik, but kinda retired at about the same time. i did my thesis with him.
10:58 asciilifeform a.
11:00 mircea_popescu asciilifeform, i don't count the ustards as part of culture. saying "math died because mamie in chicago" is entirely like saying "medicien died because mamie in zimbabwe"
11:00 asciilifeform what's it mean for medicine to be 'alive' if zimbabwe is errywhere ?
11:00 mircea_popescu if africans could kill, it'll have all ended long ago
11:01 mircea_popescu it's always "everywhere" dood, wtf do you think newton's complaint was.
11:03 mircea_popescu anyway, orig dude should be... well, just about 80 by now
11:03 asciilifeform well if formulate it as a 'jeszcze polska ne zginela / kiedy my zyjemy' , then sure, 'maffs is alive'. in 5-6 heads. not a very big place.
11:04 mircea_popescu its' by depth not by surface area.
11:05 asciilifeform sure
11:07 mircea_popescu anyways -- re miners : the great (really, only) advantage of working with the mind is that the coal dust and the wage are made of the same exact substance
11:08 mircea_popescu here, and nowhere else, it may indeed be possible the wage of unsin is undeath.
11:08 mircea_popescu everywhere else... not so much. hence the appeal, since the day of plato
11:09 asciilifeform this particular 'africa' tho is prion-contagious. the software derps decided that 'it's still a valid program' when imports GB of autoconfolade and 'appears to work'. the maffs people decided 'it's still a proof' when imports a GB of softwareliquishit and fits in 0 heads. the physics folx , that 'it's still physics' if used an irreproducible machine built by great inca. whereas per asciilifeform all of these people are pulling own co

13:30 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Where's he going to find a hallway. The kids controlling Stallmanable hallways have decided he needs to die, and he doesn't seem to have anything to offer anyone who employs in the saltmines.
13:31 BingoBoingo Stallman's in a Charlie Shrem situation.

13:33 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: This has been done plenty of times before. The kids cry about Microsoft hiring a pedophile enabler, Microsoft kicks Stallman out to the street again. For all the dancing and noise Stallman maybe gets 18-36 hours of cot in the hallway.
13:34 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: notice, he Officially Recanted , can have corner right next to linus.
13:35 BingoBoingo The kids and cucklets will say he instead confessed.
13:35 asciilifeform the cucklets are extras in this movie.
13:36 asciilifeform will say what script tells'em to say.
13:36 BingoBoingo Until it's their turns to get sacrificed as the cultural revolution marches on.
13:38 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: exactly like the chinese cultural rev. (which shut off like a lamp when mao flicked switch) this one is a 'controlled burn'.
↖
13:39 BingoBoingo I suspect English doesn't allow "controlled burns" in the way Mandarin does
13:39 asciilifeform cattle stampeding (all the way into meat plant conveyor) aint 'cattle running the farm', the farm is still a farm and farmer is still the farmer, and meat still grown for market.
↖
13:42 BingoBoingo Bulls still cripple the occasional farmer who turns their back. Grain lifting augers maim quite a few farmers. The fallout from Gawker et al. is that there isn't really much farming going on at the left farm.
13:44 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: this so, but observe that present-day china is run 100% by (sons of) folx who sat in gulag during 'cultural rev'. and not of the 'red guards'.
13:45 asciilifeform exactly as happened in sovok, the leninists had 0 lasting dynastic succession, ~100% garbagecollected by stalin & co.

13:48 asciilifeform this being said -- will be interesting to see which 'bob beck' is crowned as 'new rms'.

13:48 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Mandarin allowed honoring Mao-think as a sort of A/B test, and allowed the revision to be popularly embraced. Something about Mandarin lets the Chinese be cohesive on just about anything. It's weird, alien, and seems rather far removed from what is in the Anglo language toolbox.

13:52 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: re 'cohesive' -- no moar or less than ameritards. simply in orcistans there does not exist the custom of pseudo-'plurality' that the (formerly) rich 'west' was able (until recently) to afford.
13:52 BingoBoingo It's also possible they don't manage to replace. FSF/OpenSource oppress poor artisan app studios, etc

13:57 asciilifeform internal usg turf war. google-crapple-et-al miffed that some trickle from printing press still went to the 90yo's at mit 'ai lab' .
13:58 asciilifeform episode, at least from my perch, is reminiscent of the undeclared 'civil war' in early '80s sovok b/w kgb and mvd .
13:59 asciilifeform ( kgb -- won ; andropov -- crowned; purged the 'principled' folx, proceeded to do all he could to blow up the pylons on which stood sovok, but croaked promptly, adopted prince gorby was left to ineptly finish up the job )
14:01 asciilifeform kgb -- for n00bs -- was ~100% staffed with folx who pissed on whatever oaths, principles, and wanted to proceed asap with converting their keys-to-the-shop into hereditary 'property right' .
~ 19 minutes ~
14:21 asciilifeform $process of course did not start with andropov. but with the derps who poisoned stalin, who was , near as i can tell, gettin' ready to purge the 'party elite' an' replace it w/ the young, vigorous folx who did loyal wetwork for him earlier.
14:22 asciilifeform the poisoners -- 'drew quicker'. removed his chosen successor and his wot ; and proceeded to start sawing apart the house and sell to foreigners, feather miami nests.
14:24 asciilifeform '91 was simply culmination of this process, when pretense fell away.

14:35 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: And Clinton sold Uranium to Russia. People trade in the metals all the time.
14:35 asciilifeform loyal quisling flavoured with 'disobedience' for decades, then suddenly 'moment of clarity' when toolate.
14:36 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: trade in metal ~not produced~ since ~1991 or so.

14:44 mircea_popescu anyway, to make the point for the 9`000th time in the general, because unlike the previous 8`999th times prior, each exactly proven correct and each exactly disavowed the very next morning, THERE IS NOTHING CONTROLLED ABOUT INCA WORLD.

14:53 mircea_popescu in general, the "sons of the gulag" will rule rather than the "sons of red guard" because both oppression and posterity are generally the lot of the more numerous.
14:54 BingoBoingo Anyways, the state of the US left is such that the ONE anti-war candidate did not make the latest round of primary debates. Tusli Gabbard: veteran, active reservist, and woman of color can't consistently poll over 2% enough to get on stage

14:54 mircea_popescu it's also a red herring : it's generally the orphans that rule. at the very least since modern era, because fathers suck balls.

15:07 asciilifeform so, was hero, nao zero ? why ?
15:07 asciilifeform ( re gabbard )
15:07 mircea_popescu i should prolly have a better link, there's somewhere in the logs where we discuss this mystery, of why and wherefore soviet thinking man simply laid over and gave up in the 80s.
15:08 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Tried to de-Clintonize too soon. The losers have to hate.
15:08 mircea_popescu the flow of history doth in fact inform and ground the view, however. "what happened to phf ?!" is not so important about the one tard ; but rather, instructive as to the failure mode of a sort of mind.
15:08 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 'gave up' in '70s, when the 'party elite' sys solidified into an obviously hereditary aristocracy (populated by not esp. bright folx, at that)
15:08 mircea_popescu i suppose what happened to all of them is the same thing : one day their derealization came home to roost, and they were so alienated from their own existence, they hadn't actually prepared for the event.
15:09 mircea_popescu asciilifeform, it's not clear to me what you're asking above ?
15:10 asciilifeform re gabbard ? possib. BingoBoingo already gave answr.

15:11 mircea_popescu anyway, far from "oh, kgb sold off sovok", the fundamental problem was simply that soviet man ~gave up~.
15:11 mircea_popescu the thing it gave up on was garbage collected through whatever method. but the causative agent was THAT GIVING UP.
15:11 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: lol! reminds of 'britain-poland mutual defense treaty' of 1930s
15:11 BingoBoingo As DNC high elder Gabbard declared Clinton's brand too toxic to try rigging the game around. Was shunned. Then TMSR broke DNC couple months later.
15:11 mircea_popescu why and wherefore he gave up, i do not know.
15:11 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: It's in the link
15:11 asciilifeform aaa lol!
15:12 BingoBoingo Or more, the Qntra text
15:12 asciilifeform indeed is
15:14 mircea_popescu but, to round it off : the substantial difference between 2nd socialism and 3rd socialism is that 2nd ~actually had enough substance~ to constitute something someone could give up ~on~.
15:14 mircea_popescu 3rd never did.
15:14 mircea_popescu its failure therefore, to my eye, is not in any sense meaningful, there's no zoon involved. it's pure and simple bion, a matter of fermentation rather than politics.
15:16 mircea_popescu which is why the sun reference. there's no possible way the hydrogen atoms "could organize themselves" to do anything to or about the brown dwarf future. it's foretold, and will be exectued exactly at foretold, millions of years hence.
15:16 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: plox to colour in the picture -- who were 1, 2, 3 ?
15:16 mircea_popescu http://trilema.com/2015/the-triviality-of-slaying-the-surviving-socialist-beast/ << nazi, soviet, roosevelt.
15:16 asciilifeform i'ma guess 3 -- clitler , 2 -- sovok, 1 -- bismarck ?
15:16 asciilifeform aa
15:17 mircea_popescu here's the story, as retold by yours truly :
15:17 mircea_popescu the italians were being administered by the house of habsburg, because they were idle imbecile fuckwits throughout their existence.
15:17 mircea_popescu being idle imbecile fuckwits and regrettably still around as well they shouldnt', the italians deeply resented this situation, where the austrians administered them well as slaves, whereas they themselves couldn't, on their own strength, as much as organize a cup of coffee
15:18 mircea_popescu the unfairness of this situation wasn't, mind, that they were imbeciles, but that ~it is unfair~ that ~THINGS SHOULD BE SO~!!!!
15:18 mircea_popescu because they're "great people" in the sense of latins, 2k years prior, had been. so their team already won, why should they have to do work! REALITY IS UNFAIR!!!
15:19 mircea_popescu to "fix" this by their own lights, they came up with a wad of poisonous inept bullshit, to their best estimation perfectly engineered to end -- not the world, not the need of the world to be managed, but the ~possibility of managing it~, in-universe fantastically called "habsburg rule'/
15:19 mircea_popescu this fruited among the lesser barbarians in three places : in germany through cultural osmosis, producing the thing copied after musolini
15:20 mircea_popescu in the us through the italian diaspora, producing roosevelt and his nonsense, "bipartisan state" bla bla.
15:20 mircea_popescu and in the soviets, who copied it from the germans they defeated.
15:20 mircea_popescu but, the birth of "altruism" is the red thread in the whole pile of idiotic italian nonsense : mid 1800s is where it all starts.
15:21 mircea_popescu there wasn't a socialism before all that ; and there won't be a socialism in the future.
15:21 mircea_popescu ~fin~
15:21 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i thought it started in stone age, where 'fair', i.e. can't effectively make a usable-later pile of ~anyffin

15:21 mircea_popescu something like pantsuitism started in stone age, then man discovered pike
15:22 mircea_popescu and pike changed society from matriarchy to patriarchy, because provided effectual control to female wail behaviour : poking with sharpened stick.

15:22 mircea_popescu then things osciallated back and forth.
15:22 mircea_popescu but, in general, pre-heroic age social degeneracy was resolved by early greeks.
15:23 mircea_popescu pike really was much more important instrument than commonly realised. i would say it was the first AND FOREMOST man-made tool.

15:23 mircea_popescu specifically because it puts the female herd in line, turning them from "free" to slave.

15:31 mircea_popescu asciilifeform, this takes us back round to the question : why gave up ?
15:32 mircea_popescu and yes, "to give up" as the reality is disguised in-universe, in the works of fiction populating stupid heads, as "can't"
15:32 mircea_popescu "can't affort", "isn't proper", "this guy's abusive", what have you.
15:32 mircea_popescu what of it ?
15:32 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: as you said earlier, prolly similar to how phf threw in towel. i.e. 'i racked up 9 figures of stupidity bill, no way to pay'
15:32 mircea_popescu the question is WHY, not in their terms but in mine, as the onl ypermisible terms. not "why does the moron decide to misrepresent his taks as impossible", but "why did he give up"
15:33 mircea_popescu this slippery slope of idiocy, "i really should have beaten the wife, but since i haven't, can't now beat daughter".
15:33 asciilifeform iirc mircea_popescu actually had piece on this subj. where mentioned 'dragon'. i.e. at some pt the lamer's task becomes factually impossible, after tall enuff pile of fuckup
