Unscheduled saturation of b/w this week so i shant be able to get to deeper [QEDITS1|2:]for a while.
Yes. And communism — esp. the secrecy aspect, in relation to YC/SIGINT.. “waste is inevitable but rivalry is optional” {waste->pleasure,rivalry->reward} in same snowclone, so… universalism, too. And organized skepticism (like those paradoxical games where victory is uncorrelated with effort,motivation,or intent; Simplicitas’ dual, sprezzatura misses the point)
Wont be surprised if Nikolai Feodorovich turns out to have been a crypto-raskolnik all along
>Fyodorov opposed the idea of property of books and ideas and never published anything during his lifetime.
Right. Pietists would not be classified as weird in the Rao taxonomy, so radical pietists sounds just like hypernormal. So who indeed are the proweird antimeritocrats? Practical (entheogenic,texting) sufi-taoists? Such that friendly neighborhood incomprehensibility is very much an organization feature?
- aebtebeten 2y agoFriendly neighborhood incomprehensibility sounds like something up Nasruddin's alley: Having been engaged by a nearby village to present his philosophy over a three-day series of lectures, Nasruddin started on the first day: — O Villagers, do you know what I'm about to tell you? — No, Mullah, we do not! — Well, I'm certainly not going to waste my time lecturing the ignorant! and he promptly left on his donkey. On the second day: — O Villagers, do you know what I'm about to tell you? — Yes, Mullah, we do! — Well, I'm certainly not going to waste my time belabouring the obvious! and he promptly left on his donkey. On the third day, the villagers (having stayed up late in conference the night before crafting their strategy) were more excited than ever to hear Nasruddin speak: — O Villagers, do you know what I'm about to tell you? — Some of us, Mullah, know, and some do not! — Excellent! Let those who know instruct those who do not. and he promptly left on his donkey.

EDIT: "I must grow my granfalloon" says the one who, looking at their pocketwatch, dangles total comp, but the great one attracts (as t->oo) a karass with but a bare hook?
