If what you're trying to say fits in the space left for comments underneath one of the articles, please leave it there.i History shows a response will almost always be forthcoming the same day. Please avoid either usurping a position you may never actually occupyii or, if you are asking a question, failing to ask an interesting one.

While it's true that I am just about the last actually powerful human still walking this Earth, I will nevertheless neither help nor associate myself with your pantsuit-alligned organization, team, "project" or "idea". In fact, I am the likely cause your nonsense will fail (and no, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it). If that's "totally not who you are", then see this articleiii, it explains how we can work together.

While it's true that at 1-2 million "unique visitors" daily Trilema is by a very large margin the largest "web property" not doing any "advertising", try and grasp that none of the foregoing is either accident or coincidence. That Trilema ate the world was all along a historical necessity flowing from the very meaning of the term "world" as you undestand it -- and, again, there's absolutely nothing you can do about this.

You can obtain my public key (fingerprint 6160E1CAC8A3C52966FD76998A736F0E2FB7B452) in whichever manneriv but please note that I do not entertain private communications with unknown parties, irrespective of any delusions of self importance they may harbor.

  1. If you leave your comment under this page, as opposed to any of the numerous Trilema articles, it is likely to be deleted over some time horizon. I have never deleted a comment on a Trilema article yet ; but it is impractical to observe the same policy with regards to this page because nobody has the time to wade through 600`000 historical comments to get to the last five -- if nothing else the pageload will take forever for no good reason.

    i've been hooked on your writing here for months now, and despite having the misfortune of being born an ESL, reading your work has improved my life in many small ways by shifting how i view our culture, myself and others. but no one cares, so lets get to the question.

    i'm running out of articles written in english here. i'm looking for more of your work, as ive gone through everying in english many times...understanding some of it. it challenges you to understand...which is rare.

    I assume there are no translations of the earlier writings in english and that much would be lost in translation in any case. i need to find equally intelligent authors. ideally those of similar ideals, and those with a similar style and mindset.

    trilema has lead me to nassim taleb, but since i do not know HOW to search to search for such, im finding it difficult to learn where to search for such. in other words im asking for reccomendations from the only source i can trust at this point. authors you respect and value. essays, books, etc...

    i understand your time is valuable and that im asking for a rather large favor, but i might as well ask. i'd be appreciative for even the smallest list of books, or advice. thank you for your time either way.

    You've seriously read all the English articles ? How long did it take you ?

    Also, there's of course the log of The Most Serene Republic, have you read that ? There's often links posted there, many times to valued material (Naggum, Schwartz, TLP among others). Read that too ?

  3. The log is much hairier to read, I've tried and failed. Something to do with how the topic of the conversation is constantly changing, and how people type

    an idea

    over several short

    lines

    and it's incredibly annoying to try

    another party: hi!!! im boxxy

    and decipher what they're saying.

    By comparison, reading Trilema is/ was a breeze.

    > and how people type

    Well in fairness that only really started recently in any sort of volume (and meanwhile I put an end to it anyway).

    > much hairier to read

    That's true, though, in the general, conversation is more fluid and there's somewhat higher intellectual stakes to follow the log than to follow the blog, as people don't take the time to do my multi-paragraph introductions to topics. If they do it's a line called likbez and postscripted, not really the same thing at all.

  5. @branden smith: if taleb is the single name that comes up when considering where trilema led you, you haven't been following all the links. To the log, offsite, all of 'em. I imagine ~lifetimes could be spent going through the maze (and no, I don't think there are transmissible shortcuts).

    @alex: flexibility's a great thing to acquire, and afaik nobody tore their crotch (yet?) from stretching with the logs.

    @pletzalcoatl

    All true. The nonsense logic I used during a 3 night bout of insomnia required a retraction the next morning on another article.
    It would take considerable effort to find a page on Trilema without reference to other works/authors.

    @MP
    Reading all English articles, excluding TMSR and logs on the first pass? Roughly 1.5 weeks. Just short of 4 months in total, re-reading for pleasure/comprehension.

    Discovered Trilema on a blog written by an SJW who was waxing poetic on the topic of internet monsters, violated rights and a certain meat list.

    I found TLP two nights ago, and today will be TMSR with the logs moving forward, hairy as they may be. I speak fluent chat and I'm learning conversational contempt.

    Thank you for the reply and again, Gratefully appreciate your work.

    Reading all English articles, excluding TMSR and logs on the first pass? Roughly 1.5 weeks.

    Well, that inspired me to ask the machine. Here's what it had to say :

    +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | SUM( LENGTH(post_content) - LENGTH( REPLACE(post_content, " ", ""))) |
    +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | 10749904 |
    +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
    1 row in set (10 min 29.45 sec)

    So of we take you at your word, when not reading for leisure you can go through 5`824 articles at the rate of about 10749904 / 1.5 / 7 / 24 / 3600 = 11.84 words per second ; and you don't need to sleep.

    Meanwhile if we count how the machine itself took ten and a half minutes to count them all, I suppose we could produce one trilema db server out of every 1440 yous, which is not such a terrible result.

    Hmm, actually that's not right at all! I accidentallied a comparison sign, so the above numbers are for all Romanian articles.

    The English set is considerably lighter : only 2`375 items weighing some 3`451`017 words.

    If one stops to think that the Romanian side ran for about four years (from Dec 31st 2008 to Oct 3rd 2012) whereas the English side for five and a half, almost six ... apparently there's just not nearly as much I have to say in English as I used to say in Romanian ? This comes as somewhat of a shock to me, I must confess!

    Nah, I'd be surprised if that amounted to a whole million, so it wouldn't account for the disparity. Turns out there's nothing a whole diplomatic corps can do to compete with blogomirea.

  11. Hi,

    I was just dropping in a quick line to know, if I could send some great article ideas your way for a guest post at your website ?

    If you like my suggested ideas, I can then provide you high-quality FREE CONTENT/ARTICLE. In return, I would expect just a favor of a backlink from within the main body of the article.

    Do let me know if I can interest you with some great topic ideas?

    Best Regards,

    I don't know it's spam ; I know it's some derpy chick in India "tryna make it in this game". To be spam it has to be automated. An orclands fastfood shortcook spending his nights and weekends copy/pasting shit in website forms by hand ain't "spamming", he's just misfortunate. Had he the good luck to be born in Alabama, he'd be "getting himself an education" through the exact same process, and in short order become a "professor of constitutional law" and the next fucking president.

    Though I can see why it'd be, indefensibly and unsubstantially, flagged as "spam", by the pantsuit moron world. "You're illegal", after all, right, they know what rape is, they know what spam is, they know what everything is -- and somehow, inexplicably and totally not transparently everything is merely so as to defend them from having to ever do anything. "Why aren't you out there, spending your nights and weekends begging strangers ?" "Oh, that'd be spam". See ? Anyone refusing their retard handshake is "abusive", anyone trying to get ahead is "illegal", anyone actually managing to get ahead is "a psychopath", there's a list of these self-generated and auto-deployed retard's private explanations of his own retardation. They coincidentally happen to use human language words, but the similarities stop there.

    And yes, by "chick" I mean exactly what I meant yesterday, "wtf are those two chicks doing ?! oh, that's their uber they're trying to get to" "you know... they're a couple" "yeah, a couple of chicks".

  21. I guess either you're right or else google captcha is broken. Though stuff like "gfdgddffgdf@yandex.com" rather promises you're right.

  22. To my mind, spam would be a message that's a) repeated regardless of context, b) without (significant) variation, and c) broadcast to as many destinations as possible.

    If a person is doing it as part of their task (job) - X hours per day without break, how is that substantially different from a machine doing it (because it was programmed by.. a human)? Just because the person has flesh and blood it doesn't mean they're applying any thought process to the "work". I would really like to figure out why you perceive such a strong separation between machine-produced and human-produced, if you're inclined to explain further.

    Yes, begging is in a way like spamming, although I would say smart beggars do apply much more intelligence than your Lisa Brown above. Marketing is also like spamming. So what of it? Being spammy isn't taboo, it just carries a negative connotation for both message and its author. And yet neither spam, begging or marketing are going away any time soon, people still do it (via either human orc or machine).

    @pletzalcoatl Lulzy link, Jasmine doth sound like she had an "excellent experience" with their amaising :) driver, Silvester.

    @Alex

    > how is that substantially different from a machine doing it

    Because no woman can actually keep up with my machines. As long as they're doing it by hand, I can single-handed all of them. 0 threat, kinda cute.

    And yes, I'm aware "this doesn't scale", ie, average schmoe does not "get a new haircut" / meat market the herd etcetera. Obviously I don't care.

    At fault is your presumption of contiguity, that there's somehow similarity across the WoT gap. There isn't, the difference between someone who programs computers and someone who uses computers is commensurate with the difference between plants and hominids : the left hand is food.

    If you’ve been online any amount of time, you’re most likely still struggling to make the money you want online…

    Am I right?

    Well, we’re confident to say that you’ve come to the right place.

    You might be thinking… Why are we different from the thousands of so-called “expert marketers” out there?

    For one, I have the power to read your mind. I know exactly why you’re struggling right now...

    OK - maybe reading your mind is a bit far fetched.

  31. Oh man, you're as pathetic as predictable. Was 100% sure you would run off first thing to link to the comment, because you're always great at bitching (you deserve a medal for that tbh) :)))) Anyway, I must say I was very disappointed by your poor replies, was expecting way better. If you do something, do it right! You may have a bit of money, but you're poor as a homeless person inside. And a part of you knows it. Arrogant prick with every single occasion and very sad excuse of a being :D Don't even bother replying, I'm not wasting another second reading your joke of a blog.

    Okay, but... yesterday, Trilema had 1,400,864 unique visitors. The day before that was a record low, merely 1,118,501. How do you propose I go about even measuring your 30`000/week ?

    Odds are they know about me already anyways.

  36. >> How do you propose I go about even measuring your 30`000/week ?

    I think she'd propose you do it safely.

    While it's true that at 1-2 million "unique visitors" daily Trilema is by a very large margin the largest "web property" not doing any "advertising"

    If you really are that huge and colosal and big why not be a man and PROVE IT???

    Leaving aside whatever obscure romanianitude you're peddling, this misrepresentation of google analytics as a useful service is just a common misconception of begginer webmasters.

    The myth stays a myth no matter how commonly it comes to be held. It doesn't hold water in the general ; but in the particular case of people who actually mean something online and actually matter in the world it is a howler of a toy horse because it only works up to 10 mn hits per month. What, you thought it was free ? Google wants like $150`000 per year (yes, you've read that right, the sum-total of all income of all internet-everythings in your country which is a shithole) to provide its analytics cvasi-service to a site the size of Trilema (and yes of course there are derpy wanna-be "alternatives", but they're alternatives in the sense a different bank is somehow an alternative to the shittiness of pantsuit banking -- go pay "matomo" just 50k a year or whatever), and I'm not about to do that (or any similarly dumb shit in that vein).

    You're still an idiot ; and cat / sed / awk / grep are still the best tools to deal with the 43`028`246`496 bytes sorts of monthly logs Trilema produces. 43 GB zipped, of course.

    The only point of actual concern to you in all of this is simply : the year is 2020, and you are still an idiot, still tryina re-write "as best you can" my old articles for "fresh unique content" and so forth.

    Suppose instead of trying to cover your lameness in paypal you just be cool instead ? I link cool people all the time, and the world sure as fuck could do with a few more, we're drowning in lamers over here.

    Stop paying thousands of $$ for expensive Google ads! I have a method that needs only a very small payment and produces an almost endless volume of web visitors to your website!

  46. Hi guys

    I do SEO for a Vape brand and you are one of our competitors. Whoever is doing your SEO, they are not doing a good job at all. Not sure what you are paying them but it is apparent that someone is just creating very risky blog comments on penalised sites which is only dragging you down on the SERPs. I am not going to offer you my services due to conflict of interest but do find someone online. Google something along the lines of "Vape SEO Backlinks Package for Vape Shops".

    Anyway, best of luck with your SEO work. I thought I would give you a heads up so that you are not left in the dark.

    Sorry, I wish to remain anonymous. Do not try to contact me back because this is a fictitious email.

    Kind regards

    Ethical SEO Guy :)

    @Wanda Whipple Just as soon as I'm gonna start paying Google thousands of $$, I'll immediately think of your great advice and just as immediately stop! It hasn't happened yet, of course, but anyways.

    @Tyrone Tazewell If Trilema is a competitor to some Vape brand that hired you to do SEO, I daresay you both have much greater problems than whoever is doing mine -- because nobody is.

    Competing with the void and losing, now that's some choice NEET performance right there. Not that it'd be the first time I see such comedic wonder, either.

  48. PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO SOMEONE IN YOUR COMPANY WHO IS ALLOWED TO MAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS!

    We have hacked your website http://www.trilema.com and extracted your databases.

    How did this happen?
    Our team has found a vulnerability within your site that we were able to exploit. After finding the vulnerability we were able to get your database credentials and extract your entire database and move the information to an offshore server.

    What does this mean?

    We will systematically go through a series of steps of totally damaging your reputation. First your database will be leaked or sold to the highest bidder which they will use with whatever their intentions are. Next if there are e-mails found they will be e-mailed that their information has been sold or leaked and your site http://www.trilema.com was at fault thusly damaging your reputation and having angry customers/associates with whatever angry customers/associates do. Lastly any links that you have indexed in the search engines will be de-indexed based off of blackhat techniques that we used in the past to de-index our targets.

    How do I stop this?

    We are willing to refrain from destroying your site's reputation for a small fee. The current fee is $2000 USD in bitcoins (BTC).

    Send the bitcoin to the following Bitcoin address (Copy and paste as it is case sensitive):

    1Bs6CYDuHy1UGLr5ccz2UxRNcPGpeAa7tz

    Once you have paid we will automatically get informed that it was your payment. Please note that you have to make payment within 5 days after receiving this notice or the database leak, e-mails dispatched, and de-index of your site WILL start!

    How do I get Bitcoins?

    You can easily buy bitcoins via several websites or even offline from a Bitcoin-ATM. We suggest you cex.io for buying bitcoins.

    What if I don’t pay?

    If you decide not to pay, we will start the attack at the indicated date and uphold it until you do, there’s no counter measure to this, you will only end up wasting more money trying to find a solution. We will completely destroy your reputation amongst google and your customers.

    This is not a hoax, do not reply to this email, don’t try to reason or negotiate, we will not read any replies. Once you have paid we will stop what we were doing and you will never hear from us again!

    Please note that Bitcoin is anonymous and no one will find out that you have complied.

Tell you what suckers, it's probably in my best interest to wait 'till next year before "paying to sleep well". Who knows, maybe by March it goes down to 30 bucks.

  61. Hey, My name is Ouadie I am a professional logo designer, I found your website on Google and I saw this logo on it and it’s not really professional, so if you are interested I could design a unique minimalist logo for your brand.
    The logo will only cost 20$ and you can pay me after you get your logo.
    If you want to make one just email me back and I will create it for you

    NOTE: You can provide me additional information or ideas about how you want the logo to look like
    For example colors, fonts, or even if you want me to include an icon to it, just feel free to describe what you have in your mind
    Otherwise, you don't have to worry about all of these, I'll do something suitable for you

    Okay, but as it happens I don't really give a shit about a logo. I exist, substantially and overwhelmingly, I'm not a fictitious person like the various corporations, desperate for some kind or manner of make-believe identity or existence, I'm not recognized by a little derpstamp anymore than Newton was. I'm recognized by my penis, which is very much felt, a presence, substantial, overwhelming. I suppose I could tattoo something on it, technically speaking ; but if I ever found myself inclined to do that I'd most likely go with Cheloo's idea : tattoo on it a larger one.

    So instead of all that pointlessly formalized nonsense, how about starting with something more adequately light. What's Morocco like ?

On the self-obvious grounds that henceforth it's all your fault.

    I don't intend to pay anything for this, of course, because... well, because fuck you too, that's why.

  69. I'm really genuinely curious what these "threats" would consist of on the basis of "you will be exactly sitted", and I sure hope "tonight you sleep in hell" is in there, along with "all your base are belong to us"....

    Let your customer, such as it is, if you have one (bwahahaha yeah, right! the whole reason you exist is the complete and utter absence of custom, you're a part of the great cargo cult exhibition-museum staff -- unpaid, yes, but still -- that's involved in covering up the ever-glaring holes with liberal applications of the plausible-denialium / snake oil du jour) ask after whatever it is he (thinks he) wants. Personally. Directly. And let he get what's coming to him, utterly and unmitigatedly. I've absolutely no use for any alternatives ; and the muzzle bullshit you've constructed least of all.

    She makes millions of dollars doing almost nothing. CNN interviewed her how she does it, in the end she named 5 services with which she makes passive income.
    Below we will give an excerpt from her interview and list 5 services on which she makes millions of dollars without doing anything.
    An excerpt from the interview: "... I am sure that I was very lucky, this is much cooler than the lottery, because I am confident in the future,
    because every day I earn more than $ 35,000 and for this I only invested $ 5000, $ 1000 in each of five services and pressed the start button ...
    there is nothing easier how to invest and press the start button and then every day receive tens of thousands of dollars of passive income ... "
    Five services on which a housewife earns millions of dollars a month by investing once and pressing the start button:

    Thousands not nearly good enough anymore, to say nothing of the 90s' hundreds ; and even so all the spit & vinegar you're-a-woman-houswife-hear-you-roar consists of pressing the start button, and not doing anything? Who the fuck are you even anymore, Ralpf W Rapunzel ? What's the W stand for, even! And what's that start button I wish to know, the contemporary femview of what was historically called a man ?

    Get the fuck off this planet, Nannare. There ain't no room, no place and no call for you around here.

  87. Hi, this is Julia.

  88. Hi Mircea – Long time reader, first comment.

    I am a long-time Bitcoin journalist, as you might recall. For much of my career, I didn't add much value and struggled to understand the subject.

    Recently, I think I've done a bit better by resolving to write about the history of Bitcoin and to spend time considering, respecting and reconstructing different time periods for others.

    I've so far done an examination of Satoshi's management of the software (https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/what-happened-when-bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-disappeared) and the first soft fork of the protocol in Satoshi's absence (https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/the-battle-for-p2sh-the-untold-story-of-the-first-bitcoin-war).

    These were well-received and generally are thought to be well researched.

    Anyway, I believe you contributed quite significantly and uniquely to Bitcoin's philosophy and technology, and it's a story I'd like to tell at some point.

    If that's something that interests you (I don't expect it to), here's my contact information where we can discuss. I'm happy to explain my position more if of interest.

    Hi there,

    I came across your site trilema.com and was wondering if you'd be interested in us promoting your site or a page on your site, over Twitter?

    We have a current Twitter audience of over 3 million people, and only charge $20 per promotion.

    A couple of the main benefits:

    - We can tweet directly to your website, article, blog post etc, meaning you receive extra traffic
    - If you're on Twitter, we can retweet you, meaning you gain real, human, interested followers - these people only follow if they are interested, so they aren't just random followers, they are qualified followers

    If this is something you feel you might be interested in, just reply to this message and we can discuss further. If not, don't reply, just throw this in the bin :-)

    Kind Regards,
    Claudia

    • Trilema already enjoys readership in excess of 3 million readers a day. Each and every fucking day, and more on Sundays. Think of it like the circulation of the new york times, five times over.
    
    

    but even if it didn't

    • I still wouldn't entertain this nonsense, because on one hand I'm much too rich to buy twenty-dollar anythings
    
    

    and also

    • Fuck you, and your dumbass "platforms". There's a god damned banner on the right to the same location, 0-reading comprehension twitter-typical moron. Da fuck do I want to say to your sad ilk, you don't grok anything anyways. Go back to twitter.
