Tue Mar 25 19:26:27 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> this is a little like 'moldbug's chessboard' - fight between move-select-via-reddit vs. an actual grandmaster
Sun Mar 23 00:59:52 UTC 2014 <decimation> <<mircea_popescu: "underserved" and "unearned" income are exactly the cornerstone of productive economic activity. >> moldbug's solution: formalism http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.ca/2007/04/formalist-manifesto-originally-posted.html
Fri Mar 21 04:57:05 UTC 2014 <decimation> So to answer Moldbug: Monetary dillusion could be used as a way to reduce crime - by redistributing wealth (just enough) to keep crime down and businesses open
Fri Mar 21 04:47:16 UTC 2014 <decimation> yeah that's a pretty good point. Moldbug has a point about closed currencies, but your point goes to human nature - something that "economists" often famously ignore.
Fri Mar 21 04:37:51 UTC 2014 <decimation> I was re-reading some other early Moldbug and found this one: http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.ca/2007/11/who-heck-is-benn-steil.html
Fri Mar 21 04:07:28 UTC 2014 <decimation> early Moldbug is the best on this topic http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.ca/2007/08/secret-of-anti-americanism.html

Thu Mar 20 00:05:06 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> kakobrekla: that sounds like a good way to end up playing 'moldbug's chess'
Wed Feb 19 09:47:46 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> so basically moldbug's september 2009 write-up on communism and whatnot is chiefly notable for his very good points on charity vs w/e, "callous altruism".
Wed Feb 19 06:54:34 UTC 2014 <decimation> ascii, do you believe in Moldbug's "Hitler invaded Russia in self defense idea"?
