Fri Aug 29 00:44:33 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> once that's on the table, the difference between yarvin and dutta is purely cosmetic.
Fri Aug 29 00:36:57 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> that reminds me BingoBoingo : i was gonna say i don't like curtis yarvin / mencius moldbug for the following very specific reason - he sounds exactly like a propaganda job for smart people.
Sat Aug 23 05:17:33 UTC 2014 <BingoBoingo> Not as Yarvin says, as poor Jimmy from Fallout 3 says
Sat Aug 23 05:16:37 UTC 2014 <decimation> as Mr. Yarvin says, perhaps one day the mighty Patomack will once again flow unvexed into the Chesapeake
Wed Aug 20 05:34:07 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> curtis yarvin a footnote of meaninglessness in a larger discussion, as every fucking time.

Fri Jul 04 02:50:59 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> i wonder how many of these various and sundry internet groups are mefiant/angry with bitcoin for the yarvin reason : they poured their energy into a different obscure thing, and what is this bitcoin to succeed exactly the way they had hoped their thing to succeed!
