pete_dushenski: , it would've been a winner. but no, he had had
to usg.gavin all over
the place and draw dumb straight lines into infinity.
pete_dushenski: just finished reading "NYT #1" (aren't
they all) book by yuval harari - homo deus - in which
this ~historian~ goes on and on about ai
taking ur jerbs, magick biotech pills
that will
turn us into supermen, and other
technodystopianist nonsense. had dude shut up after first 2/3rds of
the book and stuck with
the history of human
technological progress
pete_dushenski: lol he'll figure
that out
the day after he figures out
that being "rich" means
that you don't have
to beg for jobs and "second chances"
mircea_popescu: but did he know you can put mac and cheese on a pizza and it'd
taste assewome!
a111: Logged on 2016-10-04 14:19 mircea_popescu: and in other fucking nonsense, freenode has decided
to redirect ALL inbound links
to its most recent web page,
to advertise
to
the world privateinternetaccess.com, ie
the nsa front ; and
their derpitude in support of "resurrecting
tor".
this of course includes all old manual pages and everything else.
pete_dushenski is still waiting for asciilifeform
travelog of romania, and giveaway book list...
pete_dushenski: couldn't find
this in
the logs (so apologies if it's a repost) but holy shit is usg.btc scraping
the bottom of
the barrel if fatso karpeles is being resurrected as "cto" of privateinternetaccess (vpn)
http://archive.is/XusOQ mircea_popescu: speaking of pictures, hey asciilifeform ! where's your
travelog!
pete_dushenski: what's africa got
that south america doesn't, other
than aids ?
pete_dushenski: i could see all of #t in south america by
that point
too
pete_dushenski: heh. my goal is
to beat
them in every sport until
they're bar mitzvah'd, by which point
they'll be little men and i should be well and retire-ready.
BingoBoingo: Well, we will still be here when
the kids are done raising you.
pete_dushenski: even
though contravex doesn't pop up here anymore, i get a kick out of
the fact
that it's still mostly #t'ers and former #t'ers who comment
there. i guess
this place still is
the ballsiest nook of
the net no matter what.
BingoBoingo: Also
think of all
the confusion
to result if
the next BingoBoingo move ends up rolling Paraguay
a111: Logged on 2018-05-08 20:44 asciilifeform: what does BingoBoingo intend
to do in
the place without great fiber ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, re confession,
the "I
think it essential
that I inform
the investigation of a series of new facts concerning my moral-personal dissoluteness. I mean my longtime vice of homosexuality." part is, at
the very least,
truthful as far as anyone knows (and corroborated, histortically)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, "bologna system" because of
the name of
the cheap salami. seems perfectly adequate.
mircea_popescu: "scholarship" in english, on any
topics whatsoever, is a
thin calico indeed.
BingoBoingo: Having places
to walk
to is fine. Having bipedal pollution constantly interupting
the journey
there...
ben_vulpes: gotta see into
the future, know which will stop and not be behind
them
BingoBoingo: And
to
top it all off, as much as my walking speed has slowed
today,
THEY STILL WON'T STOP STOPPING
☟︎ BingoBoingo: I'd really like
the chance
to
try a desert next if I survive
this place.
BingoBoingo: And
the air
today has far
too much humidity and not enough oxygen
BingoBoingo: The last longest wait was 45 minutes, AFTER
the photo et al.
To get
the come back next week paper.
BingoBoingo: The operational aspect
that burnedd an hour and a half was maliciously malcnstructed.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Went
to
the Department of Identity
today. Stood in
three seperate lines waiting
to be called.
The result was a piece of paper I have
to bring back next week
to actually get
the cedula.
BingoBoingo: Still alive, weather
today is humid with a side of SMOG!
mircea_popescu: turns out
the learned distrust and ample spite for "scientists", "researchers", "academics" and other indistinct products of
the bologna system is strictly universal.
mircea_popescu: "I
term
these sources "semi-official" since
they are quoted unproblematically by all
the anticommunist scholars.
These scholars ignore
them almost completely, and ignore
their implications completely, but
they do not consider
the documents false."
mircea_popescu: (apparently some guy collected and
translated
to english
the litany of yehzov confessions.)
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding she has 100% of
the cv bullet points
that recommended HEROINE OF FEMINISM pantsuited hilarity for a run at
the presidency.
mircea_popescu: in short -- stalin didn't have it so well,
to
the degree being purged is not directly nor obviously a worse fate.
mircea_popescu: anyway. would ~you~ want valy golubtsova's bf in
the fucking room even ? fucktard was so stupid i have doubts he could even add on his own power.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i
tell you
though,
the sad situation where all
that's left
to gather around your piss-soaked body is beria, hruschev, malenkov etcetera...
mircea_popescu: ask god when your
time comes, who
they were. just as soon he's done with explaining
turbulent flow he'll explain history
to you,
too.
mircea_popescu: and for
that matter, what's wrong with you not knowing who
they were.
mircea_popescu: the idea is
to not get purged by idiots, not
to not get purged in general. zhukov
thinks he can be a better stalin
than stalin, what's stalin's objective incentive
to get in
the way ? fucking let him.
mircea_popescu: also,
though, not being purged isn't
the end all be all summum bonum.
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine zhukov purging him, but
then again my imagination isn't
the arbiter of history.
mircea_popescu: the german -- didn't lack ; and in
the upheaval,
the political barriers
to innovation
turned out
to be also weak. so
they made.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, nah, see,
the ~doctrine~ of
tank-driven war was
theoretically produced, as a necessary logical step, by russian staff, including a young zhukov. but
the russian industry lacked
the means
to make
the needed items.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, contention here is
the structuring of activity as
theoretically summarized, it's not driven by events but by
the need
to produce
the structure
trees needed by indefinitely scalalable summaries.
mircea_popescu: this isn't some kind of argument in
the line of "russki orcs" ; in point of fact
tanks led strategies were invented by russians ; but copied and employed at first by zee germans.
mircea_popescu: now,
the soviets did a bunch of butchering, indiscriminate and nonsensical, 1916-1926 or so ; but under italian intellectual pressure
the germans realised and structured
the effort, and
then
the soviets copied in a year or
two.
mircea_popescu: anyway, dramatized in "cabaret" (the
thing with liza minelli in it, with
the "tomorrow belongs
to me" hurr)
mircea_popescu: i r disagree.
take
the history of say... eh what
the fuck is zee jewish german family with
the radios ? i'm sure i put it in
the logs, albert or albrecht or something
mircea_popescu: not much after. but
the methodology is strictly fascist.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, no, if you look at
the history,
the soviets were doing it ~after~ zee germans.
mircea_popescu: that's why nyt jewry is so eager
to "fight with russia", has no mention of china whatsoever.
they figure
that's what china'd like
to see.
mircea_popescu: it's a "i wonder which of
these idle fucks would our overlords
think is a best incarnation of
their batshit notion of aryan".
mircea_popescu: so no, it's very much not "first, we behead
the owner, keep
the young aspirant manager director / fucker of owner's daughter against owner's will ;
THEN we behead him, once we've
trained a working class successor ;
THEN we behead successor, put in politruk" cycle of nazi (and
then COPIED, lifted wholesale by soviets, like everything else).
mircea_popescu: there aren't any scraps,
the whole
thing is under glass and someone drops glucose.
mircea_popescu: all
that remains is
the "not rock boat" struggle so as china continues
to drop
the pellet in
the beautiful ones' cage.
