pete_dushenski suffice to say that nubbins` and i are 6,000km away from each other, and could be 7-8000 apart and still considered "in the same country" [00:02]
thickasthieves <+mircea_popescu> what the fuck is with these social media people, srsly. they'll take the faintest hint of nothing as clear proof of their importance. //// If it's measurable, it has value! [00:03]
mircea_popescu well canada's only one country on the grounds of there not being enough people in it to pay for two parliaments, amirite ? [00:03]
pete_dushenski brings to mind douglas adams' : "Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. [00:03]
mircea_popescu thickasthieves you may be on to something thar. [00:03]

pete_dushenski mircea_popescu: there are less populous countries than canada, but none on anywhere near this much land [00:06]

mircea_popescu i don't recall that cutscene in diablo. [00:06]
justusranvier So that tweet yesterday was apparently a bad idea. It just encourages them: http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2014/08/01/homeopaths-and-ebola-virus-hemorrhagic-fever/ [00:08]

mircea_popescu "I can only imagine what a productive member of civilization i would be IF i was brought up with masculine values and was sexually sated. Instead i spent my life living out the following tale trying to figure out what my problem was and living as a manic bipolar depressive. Instead here i sit, a MGTOW, never finding enough reason or desire to become productive beyond my own means." [00:09]
mircea_popescu jesus this is like... the perfect excuse, isn't it ? "i can only imagine how productive i'd be if". har har. [00:09]

justusranvier "If you're bleeding through your nose, use a 30 C dillution, if it gets worse and you start bleeding from your eyeballs, then increase the dilution to 50C!" [00:11]
mircea_popescu how's one to drink stuff at 50 degrees ? [00:12]
xanthyos hi [00:12]
mircea_popescu or is it for rubbing or something [00:12]
mircea_popescu ello xanthyos [00:12]
justusranvier In homoeopathy, C is a measure of dilution [00:12]
justusranvier a 30C solution is duluted to 1x10^-300 of its original value [00:13]
mircea_popescu uh [00:13]
justusranvier mean 10^60 [00:13]
mircea_popescu wait. [00:14]
justusranvier 10^60 [00:14]
mircea_popescu there's not an infinity of molecules in that solution [00:14]
justusranvier Damn ii. 1x10^-60 [00:14]
mircea_popescu you can't really dilute anything past 10^-20ish or so. [00:14]
mircea_popescu even that's iffy. [00:14]
justusranvier Exactly. That's why homeopathy is a scam [00:14]
justusranvier It's just distilled placebo water [00:14]
mircea_popescu no lol. it doesn't work at less dillution either :) [00:14]
justusranvier There are many reasons why homeopathy is a scam [00:15]
mircea_popescu but yeah, i suppose it's a good proof they don't grok objective reality. [00:15]
* blackwhite has quit (Client Quit) [00:15]
xanthyos homeopathy doesn't require any molecules of the original solution to remain. the theory is that it changes the resonance of surrounding water molecules in the same way that ice-nine worked in kurt vonnegut's "cat's cradle" [00:16]
xanthyos 6.02 X 10^23 hydrogens weighs 1 gram [00:17]
xanthyos so 10^60 is 37 orders of magnitude less concentrated than that [00:18]
justusranvier There are people who sell higher than 30C dilutions [00:18]
The20YearIRCloud i have a theory that everyone on the internet is a computer designed to interact with me. The reality is there was a global war 40 years ago that went nuclear, all countries do not exist, the US is the only one left [00:18]
xanthyos i tried to make homeopathic OJ by diluting it. it's just too sweet [00:19]
xanthyos then i got scurvy [00:19]
The20YearIRCloud I have never been outside of the United States, therefore it can't be prove that other countries do exist. [00:19]
xanthyos google earth is the proof [00:19]

ColinT say* [01:07]
chetty ColinT, this group, if you can call it that never seems to reach conclusions, just send all away with more homework [01:08]
ColinT I'm not someone who thinks rationally in groups - because groups of people don't think rationally [01:08]
ColinT Haha [01:08]
pete_dushenski well, the people here aren't just "humans," we're full fledged people [01:08]
ColinT What is this some kind of cult? [01:08]
pete_dushenski so we do come to some pretty intelligent conclusions [01:08]
chetty nah, cults have leaders and ideas, a real lack of both around here [01:08]
pete_dushenski rationalism is overrated anyways [01:08]
pete_dushenski chetty: lol [01:09]
ColinT Logical thinking is over-rated? ;D [01:09]
ColinT Nothing works without logic... Not even people [01:09]
ColinT Not even irrational people [01:09]
pete_dushenski logical =/= rational [01:09]
ColinT Emotion is still a type of logic [01:09]
chetty well the odd thought flow here tends to but unusal ideas next to each opther, produces some very interesting results [01:09]
mircea_popescu I'm not someone who thinks rationally in groups - because groups of people don't think rationally << depends on the group. [01:09]
mircea_popescu but no, emotion ain't no type o' logic i ever heard of. [01:10]
mircea_popescu they speak english in emotion ? [01:10]
ColinT Human emotions are neural network based.. [01:11]
ColinT So they are computed yes [01:11]
chetty I think there are some hormones in taht mix .. [01:12]
ColinT If we didn't feel pain when we put our hands on a hot stove - that would be a problem [01:12]
ColinT It's a type of reasoning that we do subconsciously in order to guide our actions in the world - it's implications go beyond hot stoves though [01:13]
mircea_popescu computed != logic. [01:14]
mircea_popescu everything's "computed", water in a glass included. [01:14]
ColinT Not sure I follow [01:14]
mircea_popescu logic is a very narrowly, absolutely defined subclass of "computed" [01:14]
mircea_popescu ColinT a glass full of water is a glass-sized computator for water molecule position within a glass inside a gravitational field. [01:15]
mircea_popescu this does not make it logic. [01:15]
mircea_popescu the major point of difference being that out of the glass, of water or of emotion, one can extract usable entropy. not so from logic, at all. [01:16]
ColinT But using it as a "computator", or its use as a "computator" has it following logical rules... [01:16]
ColinT As long as you don't change the shape of the glass, the gravitational field, etc [01:16]
ColinT I don't know what that means [01:17]
ColinT "Useable entropy"? [01:17]

chetty “You know something that I find quite interesting about the other side? Under the leadership of the former Speaker [Pelosi], and under the leadership of their former leader [Rep. Steny Hoyer], when in 2009 and 2010, they had the House, the Senate and the White House, and they knew this problem existed,” he continued. “They didn’t have the strength to go after it back then. But now are trying to make a political issue out of it now.” [22:55]

ThickAsThieves surely that would have been awesome [23:01]
BingoBoingo That might have killed Gox in 2012 [23:02]
mircea_popescu all the shit people were going to over the years. god, i recall there was this start-up that was going to make something or the other obsolete. [23:02]
decimation insurance is one of the few financial products where you actually do have to know what you are doing [23:02]
mircea_popescu it was run by a coupla kids. [23:02]
mircea_popescu now what was it called... [23:02]
decimation that's the opposite of "let's run new paypal w/bitcoin ima ceo!" product [23:02]
mircea_popescu decimation dun get in the way of the people that read stackexchange, kid!11 [23:02]
decimation if he wants to run a "financial service" from bermuda he exchange cash & bitcoin via mail [23:03]

mircea_popescu decimation yeah, i know a chick that did that too. she was finished by the time she was 30 [23:18]
mircea_popescu meanwhile all her friends were senior hr managers and whatnot. [23:18]
decimation heh yeah. an actuary can make decent pay but it's probably not worth giving up a decade to qualify [23:19]
ben_vulpes same is true of legal 'profession' in the states. [23:19]
ben_vulpes barristers take what - 4 years after hs in argentina? [23:19]
mircea_popescu she was making ok pay at that point, and the senior-whatever floozies had zilch job security [23:19]
decimation nah lawyering is much worse, most don't even make $50k [23:19]
mircea_popescu however, she had absolutely no upside. whereas said floozies can always blowjob their way into a VP of Erections position, [23:20]
mircea_popescu which pays in options, which in a bubble is always great [23:20]
decimation well, that's the problem with the bezzle, it doesn't pay much to have skills, only friends [23:20]

mircea_popescu which, if you ever wondered why "businessmen" of the us variety seem to not mind inflation so much : they're not businessmen, they're valets. not their business. they are mostly paid on a nominal increase basis. inflation is basically a gift to them. [23:21]
mircea_popescu if stock is at 50 and your option is at 60 and inflation is 10% a year you're guaranteed a 10% payoff on other people's money starting sometime in year 2. [23:22]
mircea_popescu just for sitting down, keeping "the decorum" and wearing the right powertie. [23:22]
decimation meanwhile everyone is "buying" your stock every week "for retirement" [23:22]
mircea_popescu which, if anyone wonders why ustardian "elites" are so soft spoken, submissive and complacent... [23:22]

decimation "(I actually have great sympathy for the professional. In a bureaucratic oligarchy like ours, the professional both rules and is ruled. At the top, there is no one on top of him. Yet he cannot change his mind. He would simply be replaced. There are always younger, more eager professionals. Sovereignty is conserved; it is always humans who rule; and yet, it seems that no one rules. Who gets to put his hand on the wheel? He can [23:24]
