2011-10-16 23:00:01 Frabbit Ie, founding fathers never dreamed of exhausting oil
2011-10-16 23:00:07 bentrem Vajra - Your primary interest is finance? I still think you're a troll: you seduce whoever has attention.
2011-10-16 23:00:09 Frabbit or issues like pollution
2011-10-16 23:00:28 bentrem Vajra - So, while you're "getting settled" you ask questions about finance?
2011-10-16 23:00:51 bentrem Vajra - How's NSA these days? or is it FBI? or CIA? kid, relax. pros here

2011-10-16 23:02:25 VajraInVan Well, economics may make the world go round but a central thesis from the movement I am picking up is that the underlying value system that must be recognized is that not everything has a price. Too much commodification
2011-10-16 23:02:51 bentrem OMG huge long sentence.

2011-10-16 23:04:09 VajraInVan I was responding to Frabbit saying that economics makes the world go round. I think that is an important point. Money is like water and air and should not be privately controlled. That said, not everything should be commmodified, and this is a common theme among the occupiers on the street
2011-10-16 23:04:12 bentrem oh fuck, I think I know things

2011-10-16 23:05:18 bentrem hey obliv ...
2011-10-16 23:05:36 oblivious some people think GDP should account for loss of resources in extraction.
2011-10-16 23:05:37 bentrem ... I was just bustin' Vajra's chops ... no diss, just diff streams. good to see you
2011-10-16 23:05:53 Frabbit The whole measure of GDP is also flawed
2011-10-16 23:05:59 oblivious like right now we assume that oil has no value until it's extraced and that nothing of value is lost with it's removal
2011-10-16 23:06:15 Frabbit for example, technological improvements make the cost of producing a hat go from $10 to $5
2011-10-16 23:06:20 Frabbit guess what happens to GDP?
2011-10-16 23:06:21 VajraInVan I am going to try to organize the questions and information I hear over these days and offer and organizational scheme, aspie like
2011-10-16 23:06:26 bentrem Vajra - No sense of humor. "Profound relaxation". Q: Gelug? Too simple? Too subtle? Too esoteric?
2011-10-16 23:06:30 oblivious I... actually don't know what you're talking about bentrem
2011-10-16 23:06:31 VajraInVan :)
2011-10-16 23:06:53 Frabbit Oh, I see your point oblivious
2011-10-16 23:06:54 Frabbit interesting
2011-10-16 23:06:59 VajraInVan You're faster and broader than me, ben
2011-10-16 23:07:07 bentrem obliv - That's my way of saying, "Welcome Home!" huh huh
2011-10-16 23:07:10 Frabbit Loss of resources in extraction is an interesting idea
2011-10-16 23:07:24 oblivious another example of GDP being weird: stay-at-home parents vs. nannies
2011-10-16 23:07:28 Frabbit in effect, you're creating a third party -"Mother nature" when considering costs
2011-10-16 23:07:33 VajraInVan true, Ob
2011-10-16 23:08:07 bentrem Vajra - "Profound relaxation" ... you take a crown (your nick) and put it on your head, and then say ... what? You took the nick. I don't diss. I say: TAKE the nick. Mean it. Don't BS.
2011-10-16 23:08:37 VajraInVan I do like the gelugpas. Do they do debate?
2011-10-16 23:08:45 bentrem 1 don't BS. 2 don't BS. 3 don't manipulate. there.is.no.other
2011-10-16 23:09:29 Frabbit anyways...
2011-10-16 23:09:30 bentrem Vajra - "The gelug" ... I notice no capital on "Gelug" ... but you call yourself Vajra.
2011-10-16 23:09:39 VajraInVan I never bs or manipulate (at least not consciously) but I can't recommend the same to all others, because some have minds that are good with puns and so on... work differently from mine

2011-10-16 23:11:54 VajraInVan Frabb, I think the ultimate goal (most generally stated goal) is to bring our social, political and economic organizations in line with the values that most people have
2011-10-16 23:12:09 VajraInVan ben hahahah the clarity
2011-10-16 23:12:19 Frabbit more specifically, what does this specific movement hope to accomplish?
2011-10-16 23:12:20 bentrem " in line with the values that most people have" ... clarity?!

2011-10-16 23:14:38 Frabbit ...
2011-10-16 23:14:42 @wtfmates That the system work for the people and not to make money for the government
2011-10-16 23:14:43 bentrem goooood question
2011-10-16 23:14:54 @wtfmates The whole system is flawed
2011-10-16 23:14:56 bentrem I declared defeat in 1976 and asked that question.
2011-10-16 23:15:01 VajraInVan It is an empirical premise which I think is true, that most people have the same values: e.g., against war, accept others even those who superificially are "different" from them, care about knowledge.... etc. It is clear that the socio-poly-econ systems in place belie these
2011-10-16 23:15:05 Frabbit what does that mean? flawed
2011-10-16 23:15:08 @wtfmates Money, Politics, Trade, Resources
2011-10-16 23:15:08 bentrem "Yes, I can manipulate ... but can I know?"
2011-10-16 23:15:18 bentrem http://gnodal.protension.com
2011-10-16 23:15:22 @wtfmates The entire concept that money has devolved into is wrong
2011-10-16 23:15:27 @wtfmates You cannot lend money into existance
2011-10-16 23:15:31 Frabbit I would agree
2011-10-16 23:15:35 Frabbit but no alternative exists
2011-10-16 23:15:36 bentrem I ain't pretty ... or clehvur. I'm just the real thing. Sux to be me.
2011-10-16 23:15:49 bentrem discourse
2011-10-16 23:15:51 @wtfmates Well, when you boil down the money arguement, the obvious answer is to get rid of it
2011-10-16 23:15:53 bentrem .
2011-10-16 23:16:02 Frabbit that would result in chaos
2011-10-16 23:16:03 bentrem nice distraction
2011-10-16 23:16:07 @wtfmates But in order for that to happen, people need to be provided with shit
2011-10-16 23:16:07 bentrem discourse
2011-10-16 23:16:08 bentrem .
2011-10-16 23:16:28 * bentrem does NOT ask for agenda
2011-10-16 23:16:29 @wtfmates And in order for that to happen, A society needs to exist that supports and fosters that kind of behavior
2011-10-16 23:16:33 Frabbit so the solution is to equally divide resources and then get rid of money?
2011-10-16 23:16:56 @wtfmates More or less, not so much equally divide as much as it is use as sparingly as possible
2011-10-16 23:16:59 VajraInVan wtf... I worry about putting that out aas a goal of the movmeent, as it may invite more invasion of privacy as a result of going to a system where there is nothing but paper accounting and no cash
2011-10-16 23:17:06 bentrem "Society"?! Huge term ... speak to me of community. Speak to me of friendship.
2011-10-16 23:17:07 bentrem .
2011-10-16 23:17:25 @wtfmates Ultimately I think that is the issue that needs to be brought to light
2011-10-16 23:17:26 VajraInVan : -) right ben. tks
2011-10-16 23:17:38 @wtfmates But if we want to try and fix the current system....
2011-10-16 23:17:47 @wtfmates well....take the money out of politics
2011-10-16 23:17:53 Frabbit the problem with that is,
2011-10-16 23:17:59 bentrem Vajra - "I worry about putting that out aas a goal of the movmeent" Why would you worry about that? is it up to you? ).o
2011-10-16 23:18:00 @wtfmates People in office, work for free. And are rotated as often as is needed!
2011-10-16 23:18:01 Frabbit it takes away individual motivation
2011-10-16 23:18:05 bentrem 0.o
2011-10-16 23:18:12 @wtfmates Monetary incentive of government should be removed.
2011-10-16 23:18:18 bentrem "It" is magic.
2011-10-16 23:18:27 bentrem "It" takes away motivation.
2011-10-16 23:18:30 VajraInVan I agree with that one, wtf, and it is actually much bigger than people ralize... I mean... fix that and a whole else will be fixed (that = money in politics)
2011-10-16 23:18:36 bentrem The magic voodoo "it".
2011-10-16 23:18:37 Frabbit But honestly, the prime minister doesn't get paid that much
2011-10-16 23:18:48 VajraInVan ben, I have an exalted sense of persoan responsibility I guess

2011-10-16 23:19:33 @wtfmates merging like companies buying up smaller companies

2011-10-16 23:19:41 @wtfmates creating monopolys on entire industries
2011-10-16 23:19:46 Frabbit I actually believe that the only way to fix the problem of jobs is to limit work hours
2011-10-16 23:20:02 VajraInVan That is where I would like to get a whole legal team working, wtf, on how to fight back that development in law re "corpporate personhood"
2011-10-16 23:20:12 @wtfmates Think bigger then that, Jobs are being replaced and made obsolote by machines quicker then they are created
2011-10-16 23:20:15 bentrem I challenge Vancouver - Stop throwing around huge abstractions and talk shit. I challenge.
2011-10-16 23:20:17 bentrem .
2011-10-16 23:20:18 VajraInVan claim what, ben?
2011-10-16 23:20:18 @wtfmates Where is that going to end up ?
2011-10-16 23:20:36 @wtfmates In 10 years, People wont even need to work, You could literally mechanize the entire workforce
2011-10-16 23:20:53 @wtfmates Your Mcdonalds could be a huge vending machine
2011-10-16 23:20:59 Frabbit perhaps an exaggeration, but Iagree
2011-10-16 23:21:11 @wtfmates They could if they wanted to
2011-10-16 23:21:14 Frabbit more like > 100 years, but the principle is the same
2011-10-16 23:21:20 Frabbit the question then is
2011-10-16 23:21:21 @wtfmates That is purposely being slowed down
2011-10-16 23:21:23 Frabbit what do people do?
2011-10-16 23:21:35 bentrem Vajra - I'm old and drunk ... how come I need to remind you of your words? " ben, I have an exalted sense of persoan responsibility I guess"
2011-10-16 23:21:38 bentrem .
2011-10-16 23:21:49 @wtfmates And people KNOW thats where its going, so they arent adopting, but every year, More machines are making jobs obsolete, make no mistake

2011-10-16 23:22:48 anotherO lol
2011-10-16 23:22:48 @wtfmates So if you cant have enough jobs for the world to work. Then the system is going to have to be rethought

2011-10-16 23:23:00 @wtfmates Its not like thats the only problem
2011-10-16 23:23:03 @wtfmates Money is out of control
2011-10-16 23:23:13 Frabbit I also agree
2011-10-16 23:23:14 @wtfmates There isnt enough money in existance to pay the debt of the world.
2011-10-16 23:23:18 VajraInVan wtf, I suspect that that is an issue everyone should be addressing head on. Two (I suspect true) empirical claims: 1) Scarcity has been exaggerated. There is more to go around than we think 2) Due to automation etc. there are not enough jobs to go around. So question, how will we - humanity transition to a society where not everyone works but most everyone
2011-10-16 23:23:18 Frabbit but no alternative exists
2011-10-16 23:23:19 bentrem Stop over-thinking. Be where you are. Now. Just. All else follows.

2011-10-16 23:24:26 oblivious you know of the work less party frabbit?
2011-10-16 23:24:36 bentrem Frabbit - pushing folk around? telling them what to do? you kidding?!]
2011-10-16 23:24:37 VajraInVan hi wilma
2011-10-16 23:24:39 oblivious hello wilma
2011-10-16 23:24:46 +wilma hello
2011-10-16 23:24:46 Frabbit yes, but their party isn't exactly well-developed
2011-10-16 23:24:54 @wtfmates Wilma your on the media team ... but your in Alberta ?
2011-10-16 23:24:57 Frabbit also the libertarian party would be interesting
2011-10-16 23:25:01 oblivious I don't think they're even an official party anymore
2011-10-16 23:25:09 +wilma no... is that what it says?
2011-10-16 23:25:24 Frabbit bentrem ?
2011-10-16 23:25:26 +wilma i think someone else has logged in through my computer... lol
2011-10-16 23:25:29 oblivious work less, not libertarian I mean
2011-10-16 23:25:33 @wtfmates Thats what ARIN says
2011-10-16 23:25:40 @wtfmates Its not always right
2011-10-16 23:25:58 anotherO arin?
2011-10-16 23:26:00 +wilma hold on I'll log out my name is handrail... i don't know how i got wilma
2011-10-16 23:26:09 +wilma all new to me ;)
2011-10-16 23:26:13 @wtfmates get mirc :)
2011-10-16 23:26:15 @wtfmates www.mirc.com
2011-10-16 23:26:19 Frabbit So we would agree that the two central problems are:
2011-10-16 23:26:23 Frabbit 1) Monetary system
2011-10-16 23:26:26 Frabbit 2) Job market
2011-10-16 23:26:27 Frabbit ?
2011-10-16 23:26:34 @wtfmates Yes those are definately two problems
2011-10-16 23:26:40 @wtfmates imho
2011-10-16 23:26:47 anotherO morality and integrity of politics
2011-10-16 23:26:51 Frabbit I don't see a solution to 1) though
2011-10-16 23:27:03 anotherO polliticians should be accountable for their actions
2011-10-16 23:27:06 @wtfmates Why do people work?
2011-10-16 23:27:17 Frabbit to make money
2011-10-16 23:27:17 VajraInVan I agree anotherO
2011-10-16 23:27:18 @wtfmates Because they need money? Why do they need money? Cuz other people need money
2011-10-16 23:27:23 VajraInVan that is another really big one
2011-10-16 23:27:27 @wtfmates Take away money, And no one even fucking needs to work
2011-10-16 23:27:34 Frabbit actually, to afford resources necessary for survival
2011-10-16 23:27:36 @wtfmates Except for the parts of society that require it
2011-10-16 23:27:43 @wtfmates Just about everything else can be done with machines
2011-10-16 23:27:57 @wtfmates Forgot the state of things today, The technology exists to do all this. So why dont we ?
2011-10-16 23:28:05 Frabbit that's a bit far in the future...
2011-10-16 23:28:16 Frabbit saying people don't need to work is a bit of an exaggeration
2011-10-16 23:28:20 VajraInVan wtf, "take away money" is not obviously good. That is what they want to do. If you end up without currency the result is that your every purchase and move will be tracked. You will still pay but you will be on record for every penny
2011-10-16 23:28:28 anotherO we need to look at how to get from A to B
2011-10-16 23:28:31 @wtfmates I've saw a machine laying cement in an intricite pattern the other day, doing a job my old roomate has been doing for 10 years.
2011-10-16 23:28:59 VajraInVan I think that when we think of the most important changes to happen, we should rank them as things to happen soon vs. things to happen in the future
2011-10-16 23:29:27 anotherO There needs to be a middle line between what we have now and what we should have.
2011-10-16 23:29:29 @wtfmates I'd be ready to live without money and take up a job required to further society :)
2011-10-16 23:29:38 bentrem blabla
2011-10-16 23:29:44 bentrem put your hands up
2011-10-16 23:29:49 anotherO we cant just say equalize teh wealth becuase that is essentially saying put the 1% up against the wall
2011-10-16 23:29:49 bentrem nice tune on channel
2011-10-16 23:29:51 bentrem .
2011-10-16 23:29:52 @wtfmates I thought of something similar earlier
2011-10-16 23:29:58 @wtfmates or rather a process
2011-10-16 23:30:10 Frabbit but the problem lies in motivation
2011-10-16 23:30:13 VajraInVan We need to set up things so that there is the right forward movement in the future. The changes that are coming are not small tweaks on the current system. We are talking about major changes, but still we don' presumably want chaos. So we have to organize the order of change to occur. Let future changes happen as they will -- don't control -- but set context
2011-10-16 23:30:19 Frabbit ppl simply won't be motivated to work as hard without pay
2011-10-16 23:30:33 bentrem Want theory? become an academic. Want to make it so? pay attention. Now. Here.
2011-10-16 23:30:34 @wtfmates http://pastebin.com/WU72m77M
2011-10-16 23:30:47 anotherO I agree var
2011-10-16 23:30:47 VajraInVan ben :) you are right
2011-10-16 23:30:50 @wtfmates I even pastebin'd it
2011-10-16 23:31:19 anotherO Some of the necessary change is moving our economic system backwards
2011-10-16 23:31:33 VajraInVan cool, wtf
2011-10-16 23:31:34 bentrem Weird ... mIRC is throwing up some protection on links. Like it's new with an upgrade.
2011-10-16 23:31:46 bentrem .
2011-10-16 23:31:46 anotherO some necessary steps are to put artificial moral guides on corporations
2011-10-16 23:31:49 @wtfmates Latest version of mIRC is 7.22 or so
2011-10-16 23:31:57 bentrem Sooooo pains me to see you re-invent the wheel.
2011-10-16 23:31:58 @wtfmates also it has a lot of built in protections
2011-10-16 23:32:04 @wtfmates i know what your talking about now :P
2011-10-16 23:32:10 anotherO i got banned earlier, the server does not like vpn services
2011-10-16 23:32:12 @wtfmates Yes IRC Links are dirty evil things, be wary of them
2011-10-16 23:32:18 @wtfmates Is generally a good rule
2011-10-16 23:32:28 bentrem My friends and I never lived. It's like Stalin: he re-wrote history. You simply ignore it. And we're friends? what a mind-fuck
2011-10-16 23:32:29 oblivious I won't say our monetary system is perfect but I will say that I have little enough confidence in peeople to improve upon that I won't make the assumption it will be done in my lifetime
2011-10-16 23:32:49 Frabbit it's not a simple problem at all
2011-10-16 23:33:07 Frabbit I have yet to hear of a simple monetary solution
2011-10-16 23:33:12 @wtfmates Has anyone here not seen/is familiar with 'The Venus Project' ?
2011-10-16 23:33:22 Frabbit yes
2011-10-16 23:33:26 Frabbit but even that
2011-10-16 23:33:31 @wtfmates A lot of the concepts were dicussing are pulled right from that
2011-10-16 23:33:34 Frabbit it did not answer the question of motivation
2011-10-16 23:33:43 bentrem Narcissism - It's all about you.
2011-10-16 23:33:44 @wtfmates And it was on the table in 1974!
2011-10-16 23:33:55 anotherO here is a tough one, privacy and secrecy support the system and do nothing for us
2011-10-16 23:33:59 @wtfmates Talking about technology they had THEN to accomplish it
2011-10-16 23:34:09 Frabbit again, where is the motivation?
2011-10-16 23:34:15 bentrem You folk prove I've wasted my life, living it as an activist.
2011-10-16 23:34:32 Frabbit probably
2011-10-16 23:34:38 bentrem You folk are the proof that I've ... no, not been "wrong" ... proof that I've failed.
2011-10-16 23:34:39 bentrem .
2011-10-16 23:34:42 @wtfmates The whole world is wasting their life
2011-10-16 23:35:05 @wtfmates As they'll realize when the world finally spins off course or we finally meet Water World.
2011-10-16 23:35:18 bentrem Problem: shall I make the next statement? I'm not hostile even to my enemies. Should I bum you out?
2011-10-16 23:35:20 Frabbit lol, swimming with the fishes
2011-10-16 23:35:27 bentrem Yaa ... 1ce ... tonight.
2011-10-16 23:35:51 bentrem When you swallow the deal that truly fucks us: you'll celebrate as though in victory.
2011-10-16 23:35:54 Frabbit Regarding the Venus Project...
2011-10-16 23:36:07 Frabbit the whole approach to marketing has been somewhat off
2011-10-16 23:36:21 Frabbit instead of appealing to the general project and zeitgeist movement,
2011-10-16 23:36:22 bentrem "Perfect answer is the donkey's hitching post." --old Zen saying
2011-10-16 23:36:24 bentrem .
2011-10-16 23:36:28 VajraInVan somewhat off? Marketing, the whole idea, is way offbase
2011-10-16 23:36:40 Frabbit they should be talking solely with the extremely wealthy
2011-10-16 23:36:40 @wtfmates Its very forward thinking
2011-10-16 23:36:42 Frabbit for example
2011-10-16 23:36:46 @wtfmates But if even one city or one place
2011-10-16 23:36:47 @wtfmates said hey
2011-10-16 23:36:47 VajraInVan yes.
2011-10-16 23:36:50 @wtfmates I'll fucking try that
2011-10-16 23:36:53 @wtfmates Thats all it would take
2011-10-16 23:36:53 bentrem If marketing is wrong, what of manipulation? if manipulation, what of victory?
2011-10-16 23:37:09 bentrem Convince / compel / coerce / conquer.
2011-10-16 23:37:12 bentrem Think, kidz.
2011-10-16 23:37:13 Frabbit if you convince Bill Gates to do it, he will go down in history pretty much as Jesus
2011-10-16 23:37:21 Frabbit that is sufficient motivation I believe
2011-10-16 23:37:30 bentrem I'm drunk ... are you stoned? or fucked?
2011-10-16 23:37:36 VajraInVan We are talking about what we want changed, how to hone the message. But how are we going to make it happen? Maybe that is more important. Maybe in fact there is already agreement among the occupiers as to what is wanted (articulating it needs work)
2011-10-16 23:37:48 bentrem "Hone the message"
2011-10-16 23:37:54 VajraInVan The real issue perhaps is how to get those billionaires to get aware
2011-10-16 23:38:13 bentrem Tactic without strategy is the fast road to calamity ... as though ADHD junkies would care.
2011-10-16 23:38:15 bentrem .
2011-10-16 23:38:28 Frabbit VajarlnVan
2011-10-16 23:38:32 Frabbit exactly
2011-10-16 23:38:34 @wtfmates Once upon a time i was told i had ADHD
2011-10-16 23:38:46 bentrem Ahhhhhh .... it's the billionaires who aren't aware. Ah, how neat.
2011-10-16 23:38:55 Frabbit I'm saying that you tell them of the legacy they will leave behind
2011-10-16 23:38:59 bentrem Vajra - Line them up and shoot them. there ... done
2011-10-16 23:39:05 Frabbit that provides the motivation to fund such projects
2011-10-16 23:39:23 VajraInVan aw ben. sorry image.
2011-10-16 23:39:40 Frabbit The extremely rich truly have the power to save the world
2011-10-16 23:39:52 bentrem Vajra - You pointed to the "Them" as the problem ... merely logic, kiddo. Think, much? evahr?
2011-10-16 23:40:14 bentrem Watch as you get drunk on success ...
2011-10-16 23:40:26 bentrem ... watch, as you begin to swagger with confidnece.
2011-10-16 23:40:41 bentrem Next? Resentment. After? Jealousy.
2011-10-16 23:40:43 VajraInVan ben, I really do think they are a "them" despite the general advice against "othering" another human being. The reason I think they are a "them" is because I think that they believe that power mongering brings happiness and cannot imagine another way
2011-10-16 23:40:50 bentrem DTES ... there's your library.
2011-10-16 23:40:51 Frabbit Bentrem you don't really make any sense
2011-10-16 23:41:28 anotherO ben is trying to point out that we are simple creatures that are easlily swayed. any changes need to take into account that we can be easily manipulated.
2011-10-16 23:41:45 Frabbit swayed from what?
2011-10-16 23:41:48 Frabbit what changes?
2011-10-16 23:41:51 bentrem Vajra - In the tradition you pretend to we have a neat way of dealing with that. You pretend to the tradition, without doing the heavy lifting ... precisely my point: yuppies' kidz live by sophistry, by cheap word games.
2011-10-16 23:41:56 anotherO from pretty much anything
2011-10-16 23:42:05 bentrem My cohort is //clot//.
2011-10-16 23:42:15 VajraInVan I learned that from talking to a guy at the VAG grounds yesterday. He made it clear to me that someone who has always pursued power and money will not realize that what we are doing is not pursuing power against them. They will think of it as a power game because they know nothing else. If we knew how to deal with that, we could change a lot
2011-10-16 23:42:57 Frabbit what are "we" pursuing?
2011-10-16 23:42:58 @HermesT For suuuuuure!
2011-10-16 23:43:10 VajraInVan ben... I admire the tradition but have not put in the work of the buddhist tradition... only enough to know how brilliant it is
2011-10-16 23:43:25 Frabbit wtfmates, you still on?
2011-10-16 23:43:44 @HermesT havnt heard from him in a bit
2011-10-16 23:43:53 * bentrem almost had a conversation with Vajra
2011-10-16 23:44:06 bentrem When I go into a bar, or tavern, I talk with folk.
2011-10-16 23:44:12 bentrem Van kidz avoid me.
2011-10-16 23:44:15 VajraInVan but I would never accept sophistry or cheap word games. I certanly do not think that discussion is all word games
2011-10-16 23:44:19 bentrem Typical ... symptomatic.
2011-10-16 23:44:33 @wtfmates http://www.tpuc.org/node/285
2011-10-16 23:44:37 bentrem Vajra - I was asking? there was a question? huh huh
2011-10-16 23:44:40 @HermesT Trivium, or Quadrivium... how many of you are aware of this classic form of education?
2011-10-16 23:44:42 bentrem Discourse
2011-10-16 23:44:44 VajraInVan kk ben
2011-10-16 23:44:49 bentrem discourse
2011-10-16 23:45:09 VajraInVan tell us, Hermes
2011-10-16 23:45:13 ahmeni vain posturing abundance
2011-10-16 23:45:23 bentrem What yuppies' kidz learned: you can bully people while acting "nice". Sux to be you.
2011-10-16 23:45:31 Frabbit I'm going to bed soon. I guess my final conclusion is that the Occupy movement won't accomplish anything.
2011-10-16 23:45:41 VajraInVan Frabbit, be patient
2011-10-16 23:45:47 @HermesT its juicing up conversation Frabbit
2011-10-16 23:46:00 Frabbit oh, I have faith in you guys
2011-10-16 23:46:11 Frabbit but the vast majority simply chants, "We are the 99%"
2011-10-16 23:46:13 <-- JehdeEee (~Jehde@x2291760i68dm8is2.vc.shawcable.net) has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
2011-10-16 23:46:16 bentrem OMG let's all suck up to Frabbit.
2011-10-16 23:46:17 Frabbit without any regard for actual ideas
2011-10-16 23:46:21 @HermesT Dialog exchange between municpalities, the people, and developing communities within cities who want badly enough to work towards honest change
2011-10-16 23:46:23 bentrem lamer
2011-10-16 23:46:30 @HermesT people get caught up in the rhetoric
2011-10-16 23:46:33 bentrem lazy lamer
2011-10-16 23:46:45 VajraInVan Brabb, my experience talking with people individually is that people had very rich ideas
2011-10-16 23:46:48 VajraInVan Frabb
2011-10-16 23:46:49 bentrem lamer pseudo
2011-10-16 23:46:54 <-- wtfmates has kicked bentrem (stop that)
2011-10-16 23:47:02 Frabbit ...
2011-10-16 23:47:20 @wtfmates I'm contented
2011-10-16 23:47:23 anotherO one bottle too many I suspect...
2011-10-16 23:47:24 VajraInVan I want to write stories about what people taught me in just one day
2011-10-16 23:47:30 VajraInVan However... I have my day job
2011-10-16 23:47:58 VajraInVan wtfmates. How can you kick people online?
2011-10-16 23:48:19 VajraInVan sounds very skilled
2011-10-16 23:48:20 @HermesT there use to be a slap function too i believe
2011-10-16 23:48:21 Frabbit do you guys sincerely believe that the OccupyVan movement will develop an objective by Friday?
2011-10-16 23:48:25 @HermesT with a giant fish perhaps?
2011-10-16 23:48:38 @HermesT yea ive seen some major legwork out of vancouver lately
2011-10-16 23:48:46 Frabbit such as?
2011-10-16 23:48:50 @HermesT Calgary is developing slowly as well
2011-10-16 23:49:03 VajraInVan why is Friday the deadline, Frabb? And the objective is to get rid of a plutocracy which has crept up on us
2011-10-16 23:49:15 * wtfmates slaps HermesT around a bit with a large trout
2011-10-16 23:49:30 @HermesT There are a few spearheading GA stuff, the community is definitly vibin it and feeling it out
2011-10-16 23:49:48 Frabbit Friday was just arbitrary, but bumming around in front of an art gallery shouldn't be too long of an extended process
2011-10-16 23:49:50 @HermesT lol /slap wtf
2011-10-16 23:50:02 * VajraInVan slaps everyone
2011-10-16 23:50:09 Frabbit I don't believe that objective is specific enough
2011-10-16 23:50:10 anotherO The starting point should be to sit down with what nyc has put together
2011-10-16 23:50:20 @HermesT any luck finding their news print?
2011-10-16 23:50:21 VajraInVan True, Frabb
2011-10-16 23:50:29 @HermesT i just heard about it
2011-10-16 23:50:36 Frabbit From what I have read, they (NYC) haven't reached any goals yet either
2011-10-16 23:50:56 Frabbit which is why I believe this Occupy movement will fail to produce results
2011-10-16 23:50:58 @HermesT first they ignore, then they laugh, then they attack, then we win
2011-10-16 23:51:09 Frabbit whose they?
2011-10-16 23:51:10 @HermesT Frabbit the occupymovement has already produced results
2011-10-16 23:51:16 Frabbit what results?
2011-10-16 23:51:19 @HermesT lol sorry just a quote i heard on stream earlier
2011-10-16 23:51:29 anotherO they have a statement, someone posted a utu
2011-10-16 23:51:35 VajraInVan Frabb, my sense is that there is not a different message for the various different fronts (sorry for metaphor) in the various cities, but rather their will be a few common themes/acts in addition to the ones spcific to the different communities
2011-10-16 23:51:35 anotherO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yks-xxClwZ4
2011-10-16 23:51:53 VajraInVan I agree with Hermes
2011-10-16 23:52:14 anotherO that youtube link has keith oberman reading the nyc statement its pretty good stuf
2011-10-16 23:52:14 @HermesT I'd believe the point of the occupation is to get the people communicating... PERIOD
2011-10-16 23:52:25 Frabbit watchin the vid now
2011-10-16 23:52:33 Frabbit it seems to be about arrests
2011-10-16 23:52:33 @HermesT people are truly unaware of the laws and canons that reside within their establishment
2011-10-16 23:52:41 VajraInVan Yes, Hermes, I agree that that is a big part of it and it would be successful if that was the sum of it
2011-10-16 23:52:55 Frabbit seriously?
2011-10-16 23:52:57 Frabbit that's the point?
2011-10-16 23:53:03 Frabbit just communication
2011-10-16 23:53:03 VajraInVan People have been isolated, noticing individually that there is something wrong, and not having a clear notion how it all fits together
2011-10-16 23:53:18 anotherO he starts half way through
2011-10-16 23:53:19 VajraInVan Frabb, remember that the mainstream media is highly suspect
2011-10-16 23:53:21 Frabbit be honest, that's a pretty weak sauce objective
2011-10-16 23:53:24 VajraInVan by all involved in Occupy
2011-10-16 23:53:30 @wtfmates People dont realize its not just diminishing jobs or rising debt, its the whole fucking system
2011-10-16 23:53:35 @HermesT Frabbit would you have been on here, discussing this if you weren't just a little bit motivated to see something fresh?
2011-10-16 23:53:36 @wtfmates But it takes a bit for people to wake up to that one
2011-10-16 23:53:37 VajraInVan Mainstrema Media has not been serving people
2011-10-16 23:53:47 Frabbit I am motivated
2011-10-16 23:53:56 Frabbit I have just yet to see any results/solutions
2011-10-16 23:54:00 anotherO the act of bringing concensus orginization to people all over the world is signigicant in itself
2011-10-16 23:54:00 @HermesT mainstream media is a waste of breath and not worth mentioning in that regard
2011-10-16 23:54:15 VajraInVan This is an extremely common theme. That the Mainstream Media has not served people and is owned by a few multi-nationals. Murdoch misadventures lurks like an ugly balloon above the parade
2011-10-16 23:54:50 anotherO how many university students are here in this room?
2011-10-16 23:54:57 @wtfmates I graduated
2011-10-16 23:55:04 @wtfmates So im not currently a student
2011-10-16 23:55:11 Frabbit I'm on co-op
2011-10-16 23:55:11 @wtfmates Does that still count :P
2011-10-16 23:55:14 Frabbit so still a student
2011-10-16 23:55:31 anotherO Im past that, family, kids, business etc...
2011-10-16 23:55:32 @HermesT Mainstream media is now Our Social Medium. Ironically schooled and policed by facebook... Twitter.. LinkedIn and Reddit.. maybe Digg too
2011-10-16 23:55:50 @wtfmates I'm 28
2011-10-16 23:55:52 @HermesT I owe about 25,000 in student loans from VFS
2011-10-16 23:56:09 anotherO Universities are where access to intelectual resources are supposed to be the easiest to access
2011-10-16 23:56:17 anotherO 43
2011-10-16 23:56:24 @wtfmates Education is becoming a sham
2011-10-16 23:56:30 @wtfmates Most of what i learned, I taught myself
2011-10-16 23:56:35 Frabbit but is education really for everyone?
2011-10-16 23:56:37 @HermesT .. Such is trivium
2011-10-16 23:56:39 anotherO The tools are there
2011-10-16 23:56:54 @HermesT Everyone deserves to learn in life. Daily
2011-10-16 23:56:54 Frabbit seriously, it's an education creep
2011-10-16 23:56:55 @wtfmates Eduction just manugactures opinion
2011-10-16 23:57:00 @wtfmates *a
2011-10-16 23:57:05 Frabbit it used to be that not everyone graduated high school
2011-10-16 23:57:06 anotherO education produces university professors, not educated people.
2011-10-16 23:57:10 VajraInVan Must be off. Night all. Nice talking to you
2011-10-16 23:57:16 @wtfmates *-g+f
2011-10-16 23:57:18 anotherO at least what we are using presently
2011-10-16 23:57:21 @HermesT Namaste ninja.
2011-10-16 23:57:25 VajraInVan :)
2011-10-16 23:57:38 @wtfmates Cya Vaj
2011-10-16 23:58:22 anotherO The point being that universities are where young people go to learn and ideally think. we teh people need to harness that drive and intelectual power to help figure out what the frack to do.
2011-10-16 23:58:28 anotherO nght vaj

2011-10-17 00:04:34 Frabbit wouldn't it be more prudent to protesters to rise amongst the ranks of corporations and then make changes when they have power?
2011-10-17 00:04:51 anotherO We need to take advantage of the hyperwired young students to grow it outside of the physical location
2011-10-17 00:04:56 bentrem Hermes - Mundane fascism isn't important? Wow ... "agenda" really rules.
2011-10-17 00:05:09 Frabbit but hyperwired young students often equals retards

2011-10-17 00:14:20 anotherO corporations as they exist are legally people, without any moral or ethical guides. there is a huge amount of psycology both from the humans guiding them and from the corporations interaction with the world. Strangely its all psychology
