His abuse of over the counter drugs caused brain damage, resulting outbursts of irrational violence. But should we therefore ban Robitussin for everyone? No, we should only ban it for blacks. The kind of people who buy drugs on the Silk Road are not the kind of people who cause problems by their drug consumption. Superior people need freedom. Inferior people need supervision." I'll be waiting for any actual 'cypherpunk' or libertarian to shred donalds 'philosophy' to pieces. I think I'm going to wait a looong time.

John Young is the Lou Dobbs of cypherpunks
by professor rat 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

Having the displeasure of knowing this turd for over 20 years - via his postings - I can confidently certify he is a Nazbol Turd of the first order. As examples, in Bolshevik mode he will excoriate Wikileaks as money-grubers and in Nazi mode, call for the deaths of ' 20 million mud-people '. Fascist scum like this can only discredit the noble cause of cypherpunk which is ' privacy for the poor and transparency for the powerful '. And fascist scum like this can only blacken further the good name of anarchism. John Young is not an anarchists arsehole. You dishonor this list with your unwanted presence suh! Do something decent for once and do a " Plummer ". Join Lou Dobbs and Joseph Stalin. Go die!

We don't need enemies. Listen to this eunuch! "...Provocateurs 1) Want to establish "leaders" to set them up for a fall in order to stop the movement. 2) Suggest doing foolish, illegal things to get the activists in trouble. 3) Encourage militancy. 4) Want to taunt the authorities. 5) Attempt to make the activist compromise their values. 6) Attempt to instigate violence. Activisim ought to always be non-violent. .." Provocative c-punks try and help eunuchs grow some balls. END of the WORLD!

[ot] [spam] Translation of Friday's XKCD
by Karl 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

The original XKCD is at https://xkcd.com/2421/ Panel 1: [picture of complex network of server farms] Code Monkey: Our hyperintelligence is complete! Machine Learning Researcher: Let's spin it up and live forever! Panel 2: [the servers morph into moving nanites, that come together as an android.] Android: All system checks passed. Code Monkey: Woahhhh ... we can do absolutely anything! Android: User, thank you so much for summoning me. What is my task? Linguist: Hmm. Words are really cool. Machine Learning Researcher: No, wait -- Panel 3: Android: Great! I'm going to make lots of languages to study. Every community will have its own language. Many people will think they are speaking the same language but actually mean totally different things. Every language will have a totally different way of storing meaning! I have so made 300 different borg lifeforms holding this goal as their religion. Half of the existing websites have been rewritten already. Linguist: Yesssssss! Machine Learning Researcher: We should _not_ have hired a linguist.

I'm worried about Cecilia, Zenaan. She seems more steady than I or you. Why do you mention intentional communities? These places are wonderful, of course. You can make them much faster using the income cryptocurrency provides, but I'm not sure why you mention them. > The time to start is whenever you choose to start.

The people who say it's dysfunctional are the people who are stimulating the random weird needs via advertisement and such. You deserve utopia simply because it is easy to provide. People harm others less when things are easy. We need to pair that ease with wise teaching of contribution, respect, humility, or whatever your various tenets say. > Robotics is coming - along with either UBI or some new concept which may > even do away with that. We already have both of those pretty ubiquitously as e.g. cars and cellphones. The new concept is that your neurons can be programmed like a computer via your cellphone or what have you, even with ad-hoc networking.

I know how to solve all problems, but I have been enslaved to prevent this. I know others with this attribute. Who can I talk to resolve this? One of my influences wants to make a quick deep-listening public hyperintelligence to solve everything all at once. We don't know the normal machine-learning terms to describe the parts of this, to do it in a way others understand and accept. Do you know where I can contribute to work in recursive code generation? Why the fuck are our communications being inhibited? Why the fuck are we arguing and getting confused instead of using a quick Consensus process? > Here's a random question which arose in a conversation a couple weeks back: > > What is the "age of consent"? All ages. If you disagree, that is when we both learn about each other. If there is time pressure, then somebody experienced is drawn upon to handle the situation. You need enough diversity of people involved that all present vulnerable people are protected by those who care about them. Unless you mean sexual predation, in which case it is only legal to unwisely have sex with people who falsely state it is okay to do so if they are over 18 years old in my country. > Initially it appears as a statute costructed by 'elected' 'officials', > with social foundations 'apparently relevant to our general community/ > society'. Dude, sexual 'age of consent' is just a stop-gap measure to reduce rape. We're expected to actually pay attention. <snip> > Is it useful to our broader community to separate some of these > concepts?

What would a good therapist say about what you say here? Re: murder. We have a lot of it and need to talk _clearly_ and _productively_ about stopping it, not spread fear around individual cases. We need to protect foremost the people who are somehow involved in supporting actual help. > What goes around comes around, and I don't know the exact sequence of God's > plan, but the Earth has been shaking here and there - something Biblical is > literally afoot. Here's an idea: what people learn about combines into action supporting their values, and that stimulates more spread of information and learning. God writes their plan on our bodies, cultures, and planet, all day, all millenia. I'm too stressed to share my part of the reference you have, but obviously we need to grow caring respect for each other urgently. If some are left out, the missing part is called awareness, pretty frustrated it's always suppressed. > Any interesting phenomena you notice in the sky, whip out your phone camera > and film it - sometimes your camera will pick up things just outside visible > spectrum, plus you can zoom in after the fact.

If this doesn't make sense to you, please ignore it. It is something some us need to hear. We are a symbiotic organism that acts in support of organised crime, or something.

Cointelpro was Re: With a little help of friends...

I don't have the capacity to read this whole booklet, but wanted to add this bit: On 2/6/21, John Young <jya(a)pipeline.com> wrote: > https://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm One quote: > In some situations, to get control, the agent will tell the activist: > > "You're dividing the movement." The booklet goes on to describe the psychological impact of this. But the people saying that haven't thought about the psychological impact. They are simply copying the expression from things activists have said to them, to regain control of the situation. This is incredibly common, the simple copying of expressions and saying them back to activists. It is seen on both a small scale and a large scale, and is in many parts of our living, decades-long history. For example, targeted individuals are sensitized towards "street theater", where agents of cointelpro and similar efforts are orchestrated to play out something that the targeted individual is frightened of, right in front of them (a tactic visible extensively on this list). Targets distribute literature among peers warning of this tactic. Meanwhile, "street theater" originated as a way for activists without funds to put on shows that would discuss the issues that weren't reaching media, and is still used to this day by activists. The copying of the behavior and term disconnected activists from each other, in a very extensive way. A side effect is that the activists have some idea of what kinds of things the CEOs they target experience: but their idea is amplified to the point of torture, life destruction, and terror, permanently keeping them from engaging in the tactics themselves. This is the same effect caused on a small scale in the activist communities described in the booklet, where people stop saying "you're dividing the movement", because it is what the disruptors are saying, to further divide the movement. Other examples abound.

With a little help of friends...
by Cecilia Tanaka 06 Feb '21

Help, please? I will be considered a kind of "new Jake" much soon and after the lies, they also want my death. Sorry, I love to be alive. I do fucking love it. I do exist and I am who I am, not a fiction. They want to break my family's heart, my friends' hearts. Shit, I am not the best person in this world but I really tried "loving, caring, sharing, being excellent." I promised never to kill people. Never. I do not want to change this, but I do want to protect my beloved ones. I am a coding fracass and had the confirmation in the last days. It is disgusting to notice I was really thinking two horrible things: kill people and/or become cold stones of ice, without no heart, no compassion. I can _not_ want to become like them. Please, just need help for keeping me alive and sane. I will never to kill anyone, even myself. Sorry, if they want my life, they will need to take it in person. I am wasted and will live, but some of my beloved ones will _not_ survive to a fucking disgusting scandal. My parents, all the people that I wanted to protect and I will hurt. Please, help. Sincere excuses for my broken heart. Jake, I need you, sorry for asking it. ---------- Loving. Caring. Sharing. Being Excellent To Each Other And To Our Hackerspace. <3 ---------- "Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It's your place in the world; it's your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live." - Mae Jemison
