nubbins` i'm curious to know what your description of my system would be [00:14]
* dexX7 (~cBx@unaffiliated/dexx7) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:16]
jurov "lurk moar" [00:16]
mircea_popescu he was asking you neh ? [00:17]
nubbins` nope, that was directed towards you [00:17]
nubbins` you can't claim to know a man's mind and not expect him to ask you to elaborate [00:18]
mircea_popescu ah. well i wouldn't know "your" system. what you've written so far is coherent with naive nominalism, ie the ideology of all youths. occam requires it be described as such. [00:18]
* riX2000 has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [00:20]
mircea_popescu (naive nominalism is the view that convention enacts existence, and thus forumers are "ceo"s and their harebrained schemes "companies") [00:20]
mircea_popescu that aside, there aren't really enough points given explicitly to make much of a call. [00:21]

nubbins` and thus, random bozos are "artists"? [00:22]
mircea_popescu if you call them that. [00:23]
nubbins` if the random bozo creates something that i like, what else would i call him? [00:23]
mircea_popescu but there's a difference between calling a dude a nigger for convenience, as the shortest word available, [00:24]
mircea_popescu and calling a dude a nigger for racism. [00:24]

* Pantoo has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [00:27]
nubbins` i dunno, man. maybe i'm applying too much of my interpretation of your "system" into your words, but it seems like you're flat-out stating that it's not art unless someone in a position of power or influence over the artist decrees it to be so [00:27]
* Pantoo (~Pantoo@91.219.237.161) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:27]
mircea_popescu no, i am flat out stating that. [00:27]
nubbins` and i find such a stance so bizarre that i'm not even sure where to begin picking it apart [00:27]
mircea_popescu i know. [00:28]
nubbins` about five years ago, i moved into an apartment and found a large piece of wall panelling with a picture painted on the back side of it. it's currently gracing the wall of my living room. [00:29]
nubbins` no name, no identifying marks whatsoever, no way for me to ever find out who made it or to contact them in any way [00:29]
nubbins` to propose that i hold any position relative to its creator, above or below, is simply nonsense [00:30]
* mjoiii_ has quit () [00:30]
nubbins` and yet, there it sits on my wall [00:30]
* mjoiii_ (~AndChat52@108-162-153-218.cable.teksavvy.com) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:30]
nubbins` unequivocally and inarguably a work of art [00:30]
* mjoiii_ has quit (Client Quit) [00:31]
mircea_popescu "unequivocally and inarguably a work of art" only in the republic of one constructed by your own living room, of which you are president. [00:31]
* mjoiii_ (~AndChat52@108-162-153-218.cable.teksavvy.com) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:31]
nubbins` YES [00:31]
nubbins` my fucking point exactly [00:31]
mircea_popescu why do you expect solipsism to be considered by others ? [00:31]
mircea_popescu your problem, not apt to be brought to the forum. [00:32]
mircea_popescu for that matter, you may perhaps in time come to own a miniature of the eiffel tower, which you may emplace on your commode, [00:33]
mircea_popescu or in your rectum. [00:33]
mircea_popescu it'd be "the eiffel tower of my commode", but only inasmuch as you are concerned. [00:33]
nubbins` sure [00:33]
mircea_popescu it's not germane to call it "the eiffel tower" in conversation. [00:33]
nubbins` well, you're the one bringing definite articles into play [00:34]
nubbins` it's not THE art on my walls, it's A piece of art [00:34]
mircea_popescu yes, because i am the one discussing art, [00:34]
mircea_popescu not whatever irreelvant stuff you're personally dreaming up all for yourself. [00:34]
mircea_popescu the eiffel tower on yoru commode is not a piece of eiffel towers. [00:34]
nubbins` everything is irrelevant but the opinion of the observer [00:35]
mircea_popescu it has literally nothing to do with the eiffel tower. [00:35]
mircea_popescu no. [00:35]
nubbins` yes. [00:35]
nubbins` universally, no [00:35]
* mjoiii_ has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:35]
mircea_popescu well so there you have it. [00:35]
nubbins` but as a matter of determining whether it's art, yes [00:35]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3216 @ 0.00081476 = 2.6203 BTC [+] [00:35]
* mjoiii_ (~AndChat52@108.162.153.218) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:35]
mircea_popescu there are qualifications needed to be an observer. you don't become an observer of the battle of thermopylae just by stating yourself as an observer [00:35]
nubbins` oh, you most certainly do [00:35]
nubbins` an observer needs no qualifications beyond the ability to observe [00:36]
nubbins` the validity of their observations can certainly be debated [00:36]
mircea_popescu this may be the best stating of the naive nominalism discussed above. [00:36]
nubbins` just as the validity of what my opinion of art is can be debated [00:36]
mircea_popescu you presume youy have the faculty to observe. [00:36]
mircea_popescu this presumption is wholly unsubstantiated. [00:36]
nubbins` art doesn't exist in a vacuum [00:37]
dexX7 observer? http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/mircea-popescu-gpl-3.jpg [00:37]
nubbins` you touched on this when you said it was inert [00:37]
nubbins` but that's just another way of questioning whether an event happens if there is no observer [00:38]
nubbins` trees falling, noises being made, etc [00:38]
nubbins` and that's fair in the sense that art is some sort of schrodinger's cat type thing [00:38]
nubbins` where it's neither art nor not-art until someone looks at it [00:39]
mircea_popescu nah, see, the equivocation at work here is that the requirements for being an observer in the foresrt with a falling tree are very low [00:39]
nubbins` but the difference here is that all can agree on whether or not a cat is dead [00:39]
nubbins` because that's quantifiable [00:39]
mircea_popescu one can't turn arround and expect all situations have equally low bars [00:39]
nubbins` none can agree on whether or not X is art [00:39]
nubbins` because it's simply not quantifiable [00:39]
mircea_popescu dexX7 jus' me an' my hat. [00:39]
nubbins` how many arts is Starry Night? how many arts is Fountain? [00:40]
dexX7 https://www.google.com/search?q=fringe+observer but i'm sure you know ;) [00:40]
mircea_popescu dexX7 whassat ? [00:40]
mircea_popescu nubbins` i dunno what cats have to do with this. is it an internet thing ? [00:41]
dexX7 fringe is a us tv series [00:41]
nubbins` http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger's_cat [00:42]
nubbins` due to quantum physics gibberish, the cat is neither dead nor alive until observed [00:42]
nubbins` the natural extrapolation of your argument is that you can walk up to a woman weeping at the beauty of a painting, or of a spoken word, and politely inform her that what she has observed is, in fact, not art [00:43]
* jurov has hopelessly mainstream taste and readily agrees with any definition of art [00:43]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [CFIG] 6 @ 0.15 = 0.9 BTC [-] [00:43]
nubbins` but the very fact that she weeps implies that she is having a strong emotional response to it [00:43]
nubbins` which in turn implies that she [00:44]
nubbins` oh fuck i smell smoke hold on [00:44]
* b0n1 has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [00:45]
mircea_popescu nubbins` you could slap her, or kidnap her to the same strong emotional response [00:47]
mircea_popescu "what literature pays best ?" "ransom notes" [00:47]
mircea_popescu more's the point : your example is counterfactual. i would never talk to some anodyne serf woman, [00:48]
nubbins` and there are those who would argue that such a kidnapping is "performance art" [00:48]
* jimmy2k has quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep) [00:48]
mircea_popescu you might as well propose the cancer walk in the front door one day and begin jacking off. [00:48]
* b0n1 (~carly@massmann.mhn.de) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:49]
nubbins` i disagree, but my disagreement merely illustrates my point [00:49]
mircea_popescu "jacking off" ?! it has no penis. [00:49]
nubbins` i'm merely offering the simplest explanation for the fact that there are so many things which some people call art and other people don't [00:50]
mircea_popescu incidentally, the miscasting as art as "that which yields emotional response" is roughly the reason trolling has become such a big deal culturally. [00:50]
mircea_popescu nubbins` yes, but your explanation requires people be equal and interchangeable, which is beyond naive. [00:50]
mircea_popescu you might as well offer an explanation of art for spherical chickens that live in vacuums. [00:51]
nubbins` your explanation requires that some higher power declares X to be art and Y to be not-art [00:51]
nubbins` which is pretty lelly [00:51]
* Pantoo has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [00:52]
nubbins` suppose person X says "this sculpture i've commissioned is art" and person Y says "nay, you are my subject, and i declare it to be not-art" [00:52]
nubbins` well, obviously person Z (X and Y's superior) should be the REAL person to ask, right? [00:53]
nubbins` and so on and so on [00:53]
nubbins` and you arrive at the conclusion that art is declared by edict from god [00:53]
nubbins` or, y'know, occam's razor. it's art if i think it's art. [00:54]
nubbins` the obvious implication is that the words "to me" are inserted between "art" and "if" [00:54]
mircea_popescu except no one cares about any "to me" sentence. they're voiceless. [00:55]
nubbins` because there's no other way to quantify it, and if you can't quantify things, you certainly can't classify them [00:55]
nubbins` sure, but what does that change? [00:56]
mircea_popescu looky, this trick where you go "mpex is too hard, i don;'t understand it ; therefore we must all glbse because there's no other way to do it" isn't logically sound. [00:56]
mircea_popescu it is the avatar of youth, but so are many other illogical topoi [00:56]
nubbins` someone says a piss pot "is art to me". i don't care, because whether it's art to them has no bearing on whether it's art to me [00:56]
mircea_popescu the "to me" approach is unsound. this disqualifies it, perpetually and definitively. [00:56]
mircea_popescu the remainder is the "to whom ?" approach, which reduces to social hierarchy. [00:57]
mircea_popescu no problem here. [00:57]
nubbins` art acts on people. without "to me", it does not exist [00:57]
mircea_popescu you presume all action is with the voluntary subjection fo the subject [00:57]
mircea_popescu this may be true, but the subjection needn't be conscious. [00:57]
nubbins` agreed [00:58]
mircea_popescu you don't discuss surgery in terms of the subjective impressions of patients. a similar discussion of any other craft is similarly out of place. [00:58]
mircea_popescu obviously the surgeons are surgeons by decree rather than because "people" feel surgeonized by them [00:58]
nubbins` surgery definitely falls into the realm of the quantifiable. [00:58]
mircea_popescu only in the minds of people who have no idea what it is. [00:58]
mircea_popescu in point of fact it's about as vague as art. [00:59]
mircea_popescu which is why malpraxis is such a mess. [00:59]
nubbins` "you're cured if i say you're cured" [00:59]
mircea_popescu exactly. [00:59]
nubbins` "it's art if i tell you it's art" [00:59]
mircea_popescu if and only if, when and only when. [00:59]
nubbins` "i'm cured if my condition is gone" [01:00]
mircea_popescu does the oncology patient go "all is well doc, i feel cured" ? [01:00]
nubbins` "it's art if i say it's art" [01:00]
mircea_popescu no, they go o please divine my fortunes, good master. [01:00]
nubbins` "cured" has nothing to do with feeling [01:00]
mircea_popescu it's quite a case of "you're cured if and when i say you're cured". [01:00]
nubbins` art has much to do with it [01:00]
mircea_popescu with feeling, perhaps. with conscious feeling rarely. [01:00]
nubbins` hmm [01:01]
mircea_popescu when i say "it's art because X feels Y" i may be right. when you say "it's art because I feel Y" you're certain to be wrong. [01:01]
nubbins` mp says it's art because nubbins wept, vs nubbins says it's art because nubbins wept [01:02]
mircea_popescu to be formal, [01:02]
nubbins` same conclusion, different route [01:03]
mircea_popescu mp said it's art, and it makes nubbins weep, vs nubbins thinks it;'s art because that's why he thinks he wept [01:03]
nubbins` ... [01:03]
mircea_popescu these are not the same. and for that matter the latter's logically unsound. [01:03]
mircea_popescu (in nubbins' instance, not in the general form) [01:04]
nubbins` you changed your example a bit there [01:04]
mircea_popescu how ? [01:04]
nubbins` you went from "because x feels y" to "and x feels y" [01:04]
* steakklein (~kleinesst@dslb-088-068-237-194.pools.arcor-ip.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [01:04]
nubbins` mp said it's art because it makes nubbins weep, or mp said it's art and it makes nubbins weep? [01:05]
mircea_popescu there is no because in the correct statement. in fact, we can judge how good a nubbins you are by how adequately you weep when art is presented [01:05]
mircea_popescu NOT the other way around, judge art by how it "makes" you weep or not. [01:05]
nubbins` well, obviously it's not the art but nubbins himself that is the cause of the weeping [01:06]
mircea_popescu nope. [01:06]
nubbins` but let's not get tangled up [01:06]
mircea_popescu this naive "man at center of everything" goes well with the naive nominalism, but it's quite as nutty. [01:06]
nubbins` let's examine "mp said it's art" [01:07]
mircea_popescu ok. [01:07]
nubbins` presumably mp has criteria? [01:07]
mircea_popescu none of your business as they may be,. [01:07]
mircea_popescu presumably he does. [01:07]
nubbins` sure. nevertheless, we can presume that he does [01:07]
mircea_popescu yea. [01:07]
nubbins` we can also presume that nubbins also has criteria [01:07]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 24950 @ 0.00081405 = 20.3105 BTC [-] {2} [01:07]
mircea_popescu why ? [01:07]
nubbins` as a facile counterpoint, why not? [01:08]
mircea_popescu because it's not only facile, but wrong. [01:08]
nubbins` surely there must be something that makes mp a good judge and nubbins a poor one? [01:08]
mircea_popescu mp is one of the lords. he makes art be. of course we can presume anything. [01:08]
nubbins` ahahaha [01:08]
mircea_popescu nubbins is no such lord. we're going to have to explain why we presume. [01:08]
nubbins` it's art by holy edict! [01:08]
mircea_popescu that's the point of the article. [01:08]
nubbins` you're a complicated man [01:09]
mircea_popescu surely there must be something that makes mp a good judge and nubbins a poor one? << this implies that perhaps nubbins could move upwards in society, and contains implicit an equivalency of substance between the two. this isn't an accepted point between us. [01:09]
mircea_popescu so if it's true, you'll have to prove it. [01:09]
nubbins` ^ this implies that there's a ladder we're both on and you're above me on it [01:10]
nubbins` so if it's true, you'll have to prove it. [01:10]
mircea_popescu well not you and me personally [01:10]
mircea_popescu but the icons we're discussing [01:10]
nubbins` any two people [01:10]
nubbins` sure [01:10]
mircea_popescu i have to prove naught. i just make the art be art. [01:10]
nubbins` so you pop into someone's house, point to a painting, and say "actually that's not art at all", and thus it was never art [01:12]
mircea_popescu how would mp and nubbins socially interract ? [01:12]
nubbins` i'm not sure we would [01:12]
mircea_popescu i pop into someone's house by the intermediate agency of his wife which is now my slave [01:12]
mircea_popescu and she throws out all their old shit cause now she knows better. [01:13]
mircea_popescu "you know what ? my old junk wasn't art at all" [01:13]
nubbins` that could happen without any outside influence [01:13]
nubbins` and indeed it does, all the fucking time [01:13]
nubbins` in fact, it even happens in the other direction! [01:14]
nubbins` "hey, y'know, this album is actually pretty good" [01:14]
nubbins` "this drawing has really grown on me" [01:14]
mircea_popescu but this has little to do. you were discussing a particular application of the theory, with what i took as a view to reduce it to absurd. [01:14]
nubbins` everything is absurd. [01:14]
mircea_popescu i've shown the approach not to really work, we can move on [01:14]
nubbins` of course, absurdity is a spectrum [01:15]
mircea_popescu lol. [01:15]
nubbins` the entire sphere of art rests squarely on the more [01:15]
mircea_popescu the curse of this particular equalitarian-nominalism ogre is that it can't really make stateemnts. [01:15]
nubbins` "absurd" end of that spectrum [01:16]
nubbins` well, obviously, if you take my view, all art is a bit of a beat-off [01:16]
nubbins` an absurd, senseless beat-off [01:16]
nubbins` if one chooses to make himself an authority in such an arena, well, so be it [01:18]
pankkake https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=322809.msg3474594#msg3474594 john k's not dead [01:18]
ozbot Where's John K? [01:18]
nubbins` but he deceives himself if he thinks he can avoid becoming part of the beat-off [01:18]
nubbins` after all, what's a bigger beat-off than "i'm the guy who sez what's art and what's not"? [01:19]
nubbins` it's enough to make your sides ache. [01:19]
mircea_popescu you know that seinfeld episode when george is pitching to the network nubbins ? [01:20]
nubbins` vague recollection, specifics are lost in the haze [01:21]
mircea_popescu "so what's this idea ?" "it's nothing" "Then why am I watching it ?" "because it's on tv" "not yet." [01:21]
mircea_popescu that's it right there. i'm the guy who sez. [01:21]
nubbins` not the best analogy [01:21]
nubbins` tv has gatekeepers [01:22]
nubbins` you wanna air a tv show, you need the permission of your master [01:22]
nubbins` you wanna paint something or write a song, you're limited only by your own level of ambition [01:22]
mircea_popescu ah, and "art" is free, [01:22]
mircea_popescu you just put it on etsy ? [01:22]
nubbins` etsy has listing fees ;) [01:23]
mircea_popescu but this sort of drawer novel, as it was known, doesn't exist in the sense of art. [01:23]
mircea_popescu it exists in the sense of masturbation, or w/e the author does in his privacy. [01:23]
nubbins` so it's art if it reaches an audience of a certain size [01:23]
mircea_popescu think of an old painting being discovered in a stahs. what is the question first and foremost asked ? is it something as to the paionting itself or is it as to the pedigree of the owner ? [01:24]
mircea_popescu nobody goes "i found a 500 year old kinda cool painting" [01:24]
mircea_popescu it only matters once it becomes "an old da vinci has been discovered" [01:24]
mircea_popescu audience has nothing to do with it. this is wholly a medieval-inspired problem of probatory. [01:24]
nubbins` nah [01:24]
nubbins` it matters to more people if it's an old davinci or what have you [01:25]
mircea_popescu if the shipwreck survivor found is a noble or a peasant, not if he owns a lot of farms and what havd you [01:25]
nubbins` but that doesn't preclude it mattering to anyone [01:25]
mircea_popescu if you insist to hold the utopian view. [01:25]
nubbins` oh, but i do! [01:25]
nubbins` we're all floating in a void [01:26]
mircea_popescu well the advantage of holding nonsense views (which utopianisms are by definiton) is that anything can be derived from them. [01:27]
mircea_popescu any conclusion is available to the inconsistent set of premises. [01:27]
nubbins` the magazines at the grocery store tell me that kim kardashian is very worthy of my attention, but that's simply false [01:27]
nubbins` well, yes. [01:27]
nubbins` what's more nonsense than debating whether or not something is art? [01:27]
mircea_popescu there can be no such debate. [01:28]
nubbins` or whether or not X or Y is a criteria for defining it? [01:28]
mircea_popescu art is art. you disagree, you may be punished by your lord. end of story. [01:28]
nubbins` or whether or not art exists? [01:28]
nubbins` or whether person X or person Y is an authority on the subject? [01:28]
* MustardKing has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [01:28]
nubbins` unadulterated nonsense, all of it [01:29]
mircea_popescu so if you don't really wish to discuss art, why are you ? [01:29]
nubbins` regardless of a self-appointed lord's opinion [01:29]
nubbins` if i didn't wish to discuss it, i wouldn't. this is great. [01:29]
nubbins` you assume that people don't wish to discuss nonsense [01:29]
nubbins` the length of this exchange implies otherwise [01:30]
mircea_popescu lol no, you can't "Discuss" nonsense. to discuss a topic you have to renounce nonsense. [01:30]
mircea_popescu if you wish to wallow in nonsense you're stuck doing it by yourself [01:30]
mircea_popescu whether you get some others to do the same in your general proximity is irrelevant, everyone's still doing it by himself. [01:30]

opc0d3 ICBIT.se is the most legitimate futures exchange right now, and the largest.... so laugh at their success [06:11]
mircea_popescu they get bigger and bigger each year. [06:11]

mircea_popescu then they magically don't have the dough to pay the winners, and go into a cone of darkness for a half year [06:11]

mircea_popescu this is progressing nicely. [06:20]

mircea_popescu it wasn't steve ballmer was it. [06:21]
nubbins` see, the thing is: coca-cola can afford to pay for gold-tier support contracts, so they can use .NET and if it breaks (which it doesn't), they have a big red telephone they can pick up to get it fixed [06:21]
opc0d3 i personally don't use any MSFT products, but would never be so idiotic to laugh at developers that do [06:21]
nubbins` some random btc-related website likely doesn't have any sort of gold-tier anything [06:22]

mircea_popescu nubbins` except a fictitious exchange with no volume could be just as well run off dreamweaver. [06:22]
opc0d3 nah. .NET deployments are usually much more stable then linux ones [06:22]

asciilifeform but it is quite certainly so in the specific instance currently in use. [18:20]
asciilifeform all of this reminds me of a story told about General Curtis LeMay [18:21]
asciilifeform it is said that he never spat out his enormous cigar, and once appeared with such near a bomber at a fueling pump [18:22]
