mircea_popescu: great thing this, the satisfaction of the wilfully deaf&dumb.
mircea_popescu: you should read the wiki page on it, too. "schroedinger maybe said something sometime about colors -- and here's a bunch of corn fed fucktards droning about nothing in particular".
mircea_popescu: basically they've taken any 13yo favela living chick's fantasy of "maybe i'm secretly a princess" and rewrote it with a thesaurus at hand. seriously, this is the us contribution of the respectable discipline, a rewrite of old televisa scripts ?
mircea_popescu: but this entire "qualia" business is absolutely the crowning moment for "american philosophy", in the sense that the crown is made out of turds and the crowning solemnity is undistinguishable from giving whirlies.
mircea_popescu: this is a backdoor premature ejaculator's construct, i've nfi. the hope that doth not dare speak its proper name.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what they're thinking ; but it certainly isn't vitalism per se. at least that's respectable in a wild-eye delirious sort of way, like good cinema.
mircea_popescu: there's a humongo vein of "couldn't happen to me" middle class morality.
mircea_popescu: ustards are worse than ww2 jews i swear, "oh, dug own grave". dude, what ?
mircea_popescu: spends most of his productive years filling in for all the black slave jobs abraham lincoln disappeared out of the south to recreate in the north ?
mircea_popescu: what's his endgame, he comes out aged 40something and... ? what, enjoys medicare ?
mircea_popescu: what the fuck must be going on in a 33 yo dork's head to agree not to appeal a prison sentence of 12 years ?
mircea_popescu: hydrocarbon leak -> feeds into air intake -> engine cycles -> more leak -> boom
mircea_popescu: iirc chem plants pop from this failure mode quite often
mircea_popescu: what'd you have them do, put old steam/electric engine on truck bed, declare it hybrid ?
mircea_popescu: gotta fill the air ; everything but talk is expensive. so "news" and "talkshows" and "reality tv" and anything. it'll be talking.
mircea_popescu: anything but sitting and talking is expensive. this is the fundamental mantra organising all tv.
mircea_popescu: anyway, he's required to do that, evidently not his idea.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, why no pair generation ? 1MeV photons, thin layer of heavy atoms to support the phenomena, strong magnetic field to separate the end products...
mircea_popescu: heck, you can "initiate" pair generation if you loosen it enough
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in that sense you can initiate with prayer.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski not bad. so everyone's agreed, taiwan's a lost cause huh.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "put this OVER THERE" except over there 519s
mircea_popescu: what, everyone wants to write the bootlegger's guide to $object, because it's such a funny recipe, you just add water in the shape of own drool and presto, another cracked.com article ?

mircea_popescu: yeah this is not particularly useful. gabriel_laddel_p you're in no position to a) challenge anyone here ; b) hurr durr about what you've done. you've done nothing, outside of being yet another of california's loud bums.
mircea_popescu: i cant readily think of any less interesting subject of a biography than a mathematician. if the dude spent his life in solitary confinment with pen and paper it'd make nary a difference.
mircea_popescu: now this said, more in the general he does have a tedious self-promoting tone. i expect it's scar tissue from years spent in us corps, among idiots disinclined to naturally bow to their betters.
mircea_popescu: just, he doesn't know how to speak, because not educated [in this field] and consequently trades the offending of the many for the offending of the few. obviously a bad deal.
mircea_popescu: but the piece says "dumbass does NOT have a say in how her daughter is used."
mircea_popescu: lol "same neuroanatomical substrate". nobody knows anything anymore do they. "cpu and beach are made of the same granularoabrasive substrate so there may be a secret place to plug in every beach. more non-invasive searching for the beach power cord is in order."
