mircea_popescu: asciilifeform weirdly that doesn't yield either. i coudl've sworn we had a logthread on african "career women" and euro powdered milk.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: can't locate now the discussion of danone giving out "free baby formula" to moronic (aka "aspirational") orc females just for long enough to suspend natural lactation, and etcetera.
mircea_popescu: she'd have no trouble at all getting an invite, huh ? such is the payoff of hard work!
mircea_popescu: and it works equally well with the dead, it's the time when eg lardner ended up in log. and so on.
mircea_popescu: this doesn't map directly, but if diana_coman were a noob that'd be the time i'd be like, "btw guise..."
mircea_popescu: i dunno what that was, very livresque reference to elliott, the whole foot thing.
mircea_popescu: ~all~ nerve terminations can itch ; only skin nerve contains the "scratched" response.
mircea_popescu: soothes, but not scratches. the problem with scratching is that the loop completer is only implemented in skin.
mircea_popescu: this is a good point. heroin addict cold turkey itches INSIDE THE VEINS.
mircea_popescu: erryone got a compass. however, the two most widely sold models point squarely to Mom and own dick.
mircea_popescu: as you never put any deliberate effort into studying such, your only model is built passively and as you've been spending less and less time in the soup...
mircea_popescu: this is very much a point. gotta find a prior, and to find you must look for it.
mircea_popescu: but still, by the time the one important thing, important to the exclusion of all others, was NEVER mentioned... something's wrong. i mean, just like
http://trilema.com/2018/the-republic-without-mp/ except in the flavbour of... the republic without republic ? what possible sense does this make ?
mircea_popescu: i happen to prefer excluding hard and early, but it's entirely my business, not some kind of universal model.
mircea_popescu: this "convo moves" thing is as decidable as "computer never halting"
mircea_popescu: so then. "convo dun move no moar after that" means ~little. spyked was reading trilema early enough, as evident in the various antiqua he can drag in. then... convo moved no more after that... for what, eyars ? and then it moved.
mircea_popescu: seems both produce the same amt of noob, ie , 0, but 2 produces less negratings. still better neh ?
mircea_popescu: but let's compare outcomes. 1) alf talks to noob, elides any mention of republic, noob passes whatever lite-qualifications, comes here, gets negrated ; 2) alt talks to noob, mentions republic, noob runs off screaming.
mircea_popescu: entirely avoidable beheading. mention it first, not last.
mircea_popescu: thinking about it, lobbes ' distinction actually stands. pantsuit included in amateur set, but not exclusively.
mircea_popescu: it also happens to be exactly the inverted image of success, culturally.
mircea_popescu: that you tried, good. but to go, oh, adlai g_l etcetera O NOES... it's a little much.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i honestly don't think poor success rates with clinically relevant levels of self absorbed morons is necessarily something you'd be too worried about.
mircea_popescu: however it may seem from whatever angle howsoever chosen.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, on the other lobe, if it does make a difference i will declare that i'm absolutely not wilfully persecuting alf descendants.
mircea_popescu: "will mention it no sooner than it no longer makes any difference!"
mircea_popescu: for instance, you discovered, much to your own surprise, that in fact you were treating republican discussion with your noobs exact way parents were treating discussion of fucking.
mircea_popescu: i don't even see the problem with this. though i must confess midly curious as to why it manages to occupy your time.
mircea_popescu: 2) none of those other cells like intestinal cillia, or muscle smooth and striated, or neuron, axon, whatever does anything measurable to enlarge the spleen. 3) thus therefore it can be concluded that properly speaking, the only things growing spleen are the spleen itself.
mircea_popescu: so, ultimately, the logic here goes thusly : 1) of all the parts of living animal, i choose spleen to be defined as "only relevant part", arbitrarily. because i really like spleens and i don't really understand anything besides them nor do i wish to or see why i should have to ;
mircea_popescu: and how'd you discern if anybody did so grow or did not so grow ?
mircea_popescu: because we're still causes not purposes and all that. who the fuck gives a rat's ass about "what will be".
mircea_popescu: in short : the point here is that we control ~the process~ of education, not ~the outcomes~ of education.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: education is this process whereby people are sharpened, not changed. if girl has it in her to outwrite your ffa, she conceivably will, and if not, she will not. why's this something i'm to fret about ?
mircea_popescu: the implication is not re what we need, but re what they need.
mircea_popescu: not that it's not a great achievement and hurray for ave1 ; but that, why's it to do with what we're talking about ?
mircea_popescu: and then b) why and wherefore is "work" defined in terms of "ffa improvements" ? thing's not even supposed to be ~improvable~.
mircea_popescu: our problems currently flow around the strong rocks of "there's a bunch of engineers and 0.epsilon businessmen", and the solution to them eminently will not be in the vein you contemplate.
mircea_popescu: in the sense of, "the only surviving island of non-(engineeridiocy) is this here harem, and further, as part and parcel of my continued and systematic efforts to ensure failure, not only do i perceive this as a substantial lack of everyone else, but instead i'll propose that taking a sufficiently narrow view of the matter, it could almost be said the lacking parts don't even exist" ?
mircea_popescu: educable as in positive delta over time, not educable as in, reaches ishtar gate before i get bored waiting.
mircea_popescu: why would you be the one to set other's goals like that ?
