Imposition of ORder = Escalation of Chaos
Note how in both cases the person using the theory will always describe themselves as the superior variant within that theory and invoke the respectability of "scientific theory" to back up his feeling of superiority and justify his desire to control (or worse) the inferior people.
Hang on, which do you feel is the superiour alternative again? And why?

Every single person I've come across using r/K selection theory to describe human affairs has been defining themselves as a "K". This is an observation, not a value judgement on my part. I believe it is a value judgement on the part of the users, though.

I don't think a website called "anonymousconservative" is where I want to get my etymological and scientific definitions from  Roll Eyes
Right, you get it from his books. If the books are wrong then explain how. They are free so you can't even use money as an excuse.

I am not saying the books are "wrong", or that the scientific theory is flawed. I am saying people keep misappropriating the theory to serve their ideological needs. Anonymous conservative? Just reading through the synopsis of the book reveals its conservative bias. This is all I have to say about this at the moment. I won't try to argue people out of their dogmas, especially when they serve as a backbone to their identity as a superior human being.

You could try Wikipedia, which defines the terms in pretty much the same way...

r/K is the new alpha/beta. A way for insecure men to justify feeling superior based on some pseudo-scientific misappropriated concept.
No, not really.

Quote
The science behind r/K Selection theory was hashed out decades ago. It emerged as biologists pondered why some species reproduced slowly using monogamy and high-investment parenting, while other species reproduced explosively, using promiscuity and single parenting. At the time this science was developed, the researchers were wholly unaware of its relevance to our modern ideological battles in the world of politics. The terms r and K came from variables in equations which described how populations would change over time. r represented the maximal reproductive rate of an individual, while K represented the carrying capacity of an environment.

It is actually a logistic function (you know that famous S-curve?) adapted by Verhulst

But yes, ya really, it is precisely like I said.

Like with the alpha/beta thing, r/K has been lifted from a genuine scientific theory and misappropriated in order to serve conservative ideological needs in the political realm and the needs of fragile male egos in the realm of human interaction. Note how in both cases the person using the theory will always describe themselves as the superior variant within that theory and invoke the respectability of "scientific theory" to back up his feeling of superiority and justify his desire to control (or worse) the inferior people.

price so boring now, nothing happens...not up, no down...got my money ready for a dump but nowhere to come.. Undecided

Man we got price action over so many weeks and months.
This is just another sideways movement because nobody knows where we will hit next. Up or down?
I think we are way too spoiled at the moment. You can not expect the price to jump up every 2-4 weeks without any timeouts.
Would like to see how you would react if we for instance would go down 3.5-4k and see no real movements, just plain sideways, for 8-12 months!!
Times like this will happen! Question is only what the level of price will be.

On Electrum you go on Coins tab and you spend them from there, one by one. Didn't you know that?  Wink
I was a Core man, but have been using Electrum recently and have been quite impressed. Watching-only wallets, like Armoury offers, was a deal sealer for me.
I'm planning to have a machine that is online 24/7 on a fast broadband connection so that I can set up a full bitcoin node that will help the network and that will be used with my Electrum wallet and all my other lightweight wallets.
Electrum is my choice since 2014, I would say that it has everything most bitcoiner need. Wink

It's real estate. And I'm a rent-seeking land owner.  

Every grotesquely rich American represents property, privileges, and pleasures that have been denied the many. Perhaps it's time to start giving back. Look into a charitable cause. And be kind to people. Smiley

Just like R0ach said I was.

Like all real heroes, roach had a fatal flaw. He refused to believe that he had gonorrhea, whereas the truth was that he did.

still waiting on butterfly lab$ to ship!

I hope their former management are doomed to live a life of mediocrity, until they die from wasting away due to some horrifying malignant disease.

Sorry. BFL Corp took the fall with SEC. I think one person had a 30k fine for mining issues
on site. From what I understand they otherwise kept all the ill gotten BTC.

They are reading this post and ROFLAO at our puny curses 3years later

Every once in a while I think back to the shady exchange that absconded with my Litecoins. Still irks me. I can imagine how some of these scoundrels still get your goat. 3 years may be an eternity in crypto, but it all feels like yesterday to me.




Off topic...but that is a lot of coin they walked away with in 2014....they got away with almost all of it...BFL labs that is..the owners and principles involved...

main player got a 15k fine...sheesh....again, I'm sure they are on this thread.....currently laughing their ass off ..especially if they  held the coin...worth mega millions now

I got banned from their chat room in August 2014 ...for bringing up all the things the SEC finally proved.....alas the SEC was only interested in settling with the BFL corp

and getting all that nice $$ from bankrupting it and fines to the US Gov't

anyway, crime pays  in crypto it seems

The fact people aren't migrating away from Coinbase en masse tells me something about people--they're mostly a bunch of apathetic wankers.

They can't leave now or they will forfeit their BCH which is airdropping on CoinBase sometime next year, lulzzzzzzzzz

CoinBase isn't even sharp enough to be embarrassed by their own nutty & ever-changing fork policies and their premature announcement of the BTG Launch.  If I was CEO I'd step down...  but then, this is Crypto.    Roll Eyes

Naw, just pulling your chain a bit. Tongue

Hehe... yeah I'm a head case for sure. Too bad once the rubberband gets stretched far enough, it never goes back to the same shape it was before. Tongue

Btw, you have to be at the top of the list for one of the most likeable people here. You kinda fill that hole that Adam left behind. Cheers brother.  Grin

Did Adam leave? If so, when where and why?


His account got hacked or something like that. And he didn't bothered to get his sh!t back. Something like that, that's the short version, ask him the longer version on the other place. Smiley

I see all these old prices and predictions and people claiming 50$ as floor some claiming 250$ as ATH lmao! What a beautiful time it was now the fucking price moves in thousands of range every month! Hope all those people held their coin!

Here's my spot-on prediction from the heady days of 2015.
Bitcoin is too expensive to pump now. I honestly don't expect it back above 300USD. But revolution doesn't come cheap. I ain't mad at it
Not sure if I really believed that. But I was really prepared to accept it.

Edit: Here's what I know now I didn't know then. Bitcoin isn't a censorship resistant value transfer protocol. It's a piece of land on which censorship resistant value transfer occurs. It's real estate. And I'm a rent-seeking land owner. Just like R0ach said I was. Cheesy


Happy Friday Bitcoinland!
