| mircea_popescu: | if i end up negrating you because i have nfi what you're doing, it's not strictly "mp is a meanie head" it can very well also be "i'm fucking terrible at communicating my position, end up run over by heavy machinery". | [09:21] |

| mircea_popescu: | ok, but the one missing item is the eta. | [14:33] |

| mircea_popescu: | in fact, there's everything right with it : both communicates reality and provides hooks for the rest to help. | [14:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | (i suspect, incidentally, that the above template is the #1 bane of republican effort in the years to come, chiefly because the #1 impedance mismatch we encounter is between uptime and rewrite, a manifestation of the old design-reality diphoria.) | [14:37] |

| ben_vulpes: | a bit, yeah. i've also lived in the same libtard shithole for nigh on three decades at this point far past time to meet the rest of america. | [14:48] |
| * mircea_popescu | is quite curious if this transparent trinque plan at starting a genuine fortress goes anywhere. | [14:48] |
| ben_vulpes: | im also evaluating this claim that the lone star state is somehow not the same thin plastic veneer over zamac the rest of the country's made of. it at least has endogenous oil stores and the locals carry a reputation for being profit minded | [14:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes my first experience of texas was waking up in a small town which was having a ceremony that morning | [14:51] |
| mircea_popescu: | whereby the mayor was awarding whatever cert to an 80yo lady who, while the diner where she was eating was being robbed at gunpoint, | [14:52] |
| mircea_popescu: | pulled out an immense colt from her old lady purse and blew the kid's head all over the store. | [14:52] |

| mircea_popescu: | BingoBoingo i believe there's costs to sending people alone, esp if the idea is they'll be forever alone. seems to me either strengthen outposts or start new ones ~very far away~. otherwise, you know what gerrimandering is ? | [15:00] |
| mircea_popescu: | we dun wanna gerrymander ourselves into oblivion. | [15:01] |
| BingoBoingo: | mircea_popescu: Ah, this is true | [15:03] |
| mircea_popescu: | ben_vulpes france is not nearly as much "in the eu" as you think, especially the occitan portion. morever, europe is tiny, vienna is a short drive away, the vienna of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-18#1842767 and then hungary and serbia and so on. | [15:04] |

| ben_vulpes: | i'd written europe off largely on the basis of 'natoreich', but if there are habitable holes i'd rather live in stone than plastic | [15:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | well, "short drive". 800 or so miles, which to me still counts as "one day drive". as opposed to say 2.2k miles portland-austin. | [15:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | anyway, airfare actualy starts at 99. | [15:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | but the deep reasdon europe is tiny is because there's ~no wilderness, everything's built up, you can walk from town to town in less than a day without exception (this is not coincidental, either, but deliberate, civilisational checkmark at a time before train was "from church to church in one day", and applied as such on us east coast for instance). there's roads everywhere, they're reasonably good (certainly better than neg | [15:10] |
