trinque: can't say I buy
Orlov's flag-waving either ftr.
trinque: asciilifeform: any history writers you recommend on the soviet era? I watched that garbage of which
Orlov wrote, characters might as well have winked at the camera and sang "take me out to the ballgame"
mircea_popescu: from my rock, the whole yacht thing (not a place to LIVE ON,
orlol and all, mind) was a specific "token of entry" in a specific, upper-middleclass network.

Its founders are all engineers, of an uncompromising sort, and the widget they design and manufacture is of tremendous longevity, durability and overall quality." << hey check out
orlov.
mircea_popescu: this was for orcs contemplating saying "yes" to the questions that may only be answered with the
orlov niet.
mircea_popescu: this is actually a great
orlov piece ; once he abandons his nonsensical hallucinations of "having grasped the big picture" and takes up simple description he's actually quite readable.
mircea_popescu: at some point the people LIVING THERE notice this, you know ? even if dung-in-toes sheepboy
orlov (laughing at the moreso-dung-in-toes other sheeboys, ha-ha!) doesn't notice this.
mircea_popescu: and they're doing exactly that, and it's reasonable as it ever was, and i really dun see wtf the
orlov's all about. "here's what i don't understand about astronomy" "ook ?"

mircea_popescu: and so no, there's no fucking excuse. if one has an equivalent of trilema, that claim may only be permitted to stand IF IT IS FUNCTIONALLY EQUIVALENT. if it does the same thing. i think nothing of, picking randomly,
orlovs' blog, or yarvin's blog, or you name the idiot, anil dash, fucktard mcdumbsticks, whatever, BECAUSE their blogs don't fucking work. and "i have a lot of '''traffic'''" isn't a working, and "i get paid to ad
lobbes: and if 4) is correct, then should that be further broken down into a webpage hierarchy? Because if so, we may be limited using archive.is as a middle-man as the zips it spits out do not have the file structure intact; always 'flat' (e.g. this archived

orlov similar example, but at least he cycles the topics. one day -- expert on boats, next day -- expert on firearms, on it goes.
mircea_popescu: for all you know,
orlov lives on a moored boat, and this dood lives in rms's quarters.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-09 01:14 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so, did your time spent with the
orlov menagerie pay off ?

orlov menagerie pay off ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: of course it is. 100% of "discussing" "events" "news" and "politics" is this. what else is
orlov, moldbug, wha have you ?
mircea_popescu: in this bitcoinarry bit ross, mr levine
orlov doesn't get the GOOD leads.
mircea_popescu: you recall that (uncharacteristically well written)
orlov article re "power of nyet" ?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-12 18:08 mircea_popescu: what was
orlol's riverboat, 20ft ?
mircea_popescu: <@fenn> guh. so i've been thinking about building a boat so i can just put all my stuff in the boat and live in the boat and sail wherever i want to go << check that out asciilifeform ! he may wanna go halvsies on
orlol's tub ?
mircea_popescu: (perhaps also of note, what piddly
orlol boats pass for "the yacht!! of a mobster!!!" in rotardland.)
a111: Logged on 2017-05-25 15:14 mircea_popescu: and the most bitter fruit of this entire tree of idiocy being that in six months to a year, we'll be right back to "oh,
orlol boat and lizzards are keeping the hydrogen engine under wraps".

☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is way the fuck better than anything you came up with so far, and we're not even trying. nor pretending to be keeping a blog about it, a la
orlol.
phf: last time
orlol's sail boat came up i linked some detailed plans by digital nomads for living houseboats. those were decidedly not built on kalash budget (mostly funded by alphabet companies, because choke full of electronics)
phf: reading
orlol i thought he already had a sailable device? why aren't there plans&details for what he already allegedly has
mircea_popescu vaguely regrets he's not harun al rashid, sends sipahi over
orlol's place, give him a year to make the damned thing and force him to sail in it.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that fg can be bought, and escher's drawings can not be bought.
orlol is of the latter type.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, you know what, giving your skill in formulating problems, i suspect
orlov may have a solution justr for you.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 21:10 asciilifeform: in
orlol's words, 'human-lite'
phf`: i dunno, i'm not convinced of that.
orlol's target audience are cultural honkies, people who otherwise would be wiggers or otaku or "i'm irish, 5 generations ago". yes, those people don't have any culture, but it's chiefly american problem. i'm not convinced it extends to the rest of the world that well
mircea_popescu: the adventure of that unfortunate idiot bailey is exactly that -- the dissemblement of the entire system people like
orlov, and like rotblatt, and like every tard in between shat on for a half century.
mircea_popescu: if it's indeed the case that taleb is your
orlov, i'll comment that i'm missing out on less than you are.
mod6: lol, i even found one full of
orlov articles.

orlol discussed this, and it was 100% true, 'homo americanus' has some very serious damage that is very expensive to build prosthesis for -- he has no family , no friends, no one will lend him money other than at extortionate rates, has no one alive whom he could live with in small hut, 5 to 10 sq. metres, without killing one another

mircea_popescu: and fwiw my reading of
orlov is very much in this vein, which is how he keeps evaluating to below 0 in my hands. perhaps counterintuitively for more neutral readers.
mircea_popescu: "one day,
orlov got indigestion from a pea dish, and died. krilov, hearing such, died too. spiridonov however died all by himself. and his wife fell from the cupboard and also died. and his children drowned in a pond. and his grandmother took to the bottle and started hitchhiking."
