Mon Jun 15 20:16:38 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> i notice a tendency among #b-a folks to dwell on 'convince folks to leave gravity well.' well, guess what, i was convinced 15+ yrs ago, before ever met you lot. and fat lot of good it did
Tue Oct 14 20:03:38 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> deep inside the gravity well, probably not getting out alive; but will carry out project no. 1 and hopefully no. 2 as well before obola calls my name.
Fri Mar 25 20:48:10 UTC 2016 <pete_dushenski> this 'protection'/extortion business model could be just the gravity well extractor that guys like asciilifeform need. it can even be done from laptop on beach!
Sun Apr 06 05:03:10 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> i have to, after all, concede that folks who have escaped from gravity well, while i sit in, are more clever than i
Sun Jul 27 02:16:37 UTC 2014 <DreadKnight> Kushed, just because they're from a different place doesn't mean they're not affected by polarity / gravity and yin&yang as well
Sat Nov 15 17:05:10 UTC 2014 <ben_vulpes> but it's kind of an estes scale thing, and i want a giant tower of hydrocarbons atop which to ride out of this gravity well.

Tue Mar 03 07:06:56 UTC 2015 <pete_dushenski> "When deep in nitty gritty of development you sometimes forget quite how world-altering the technology you’re creating is, which is probably just as well since the gravity of the matter at hand would be continually distracting. "
Thu Mar 12 19:55:20 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> the reason you find it so hard to escape the gravity well is in no small part due to the fact that you;ve spent many decades making the wrong decisions and they're a bitch to undo.

Sat Jan 25 17:34:25 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> sane minds applied to the same real problem yield similar results. german cars sort-of look like american cars for the reason that... well... road, wind, gravity...
Thu Dec 11 04:24:36 UTC 2014 <undata> however, it might be adaptive to have a touch of it; would I keep working towards escaping the gravity well if I wasn't certain I can accomplish it?
Tue Oct 14 21:38:29 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> jurov: recall my gravity well analogy. one gram of rocket fuel gets you nowhere nearer to escaping, e.g., earth or moon. a hundred tonnes - does. the gram brings you nearer to blowing out from the well only in the sense that it's one gram less that you must collect.

Tue Sep 30 19:17:23 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> basic mechanics of escape from a gravity well - and of escape from a country - are very similar, i dare say. you need sufficient energy (usually in the form of hard currency, but can be some unusual substitute like familial, mob, or military 'in
Tue Sep 30 19:21:13 UTC 2014 <hanbot> never been stuck in a gravity well, but i find escape from most anything hinges on ability to recognize and part with things that aren't needed. escape based on what one'd rather keep/is fond of mostly consists of waiting afaik.
Thu Oct 30 20:21:44 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> i will answer the secret question which i can answer. 1) i personally can't pay rent with btc without giving up every other one to usg. 2) cost of extrication from gravity well is inconceivably high. 3) no one crowned me hero to begin with, why even ask.
