mircea_popescu: i generally park the girls on a circle a few miles around the local university campus.
mircea_popescu: "shaved smooth snatch that saw water today" being reliably what you find between female "students'" legs ~= "civilised world".
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the above being perhaps the best explanation of what distinguishes third world from civilised world. "are your women regularly diddled or do they grow fucking cobwebs down there."
mircea_popescu: the notion that females under 30 would be allowed to NOT be vaginally inspected once a month is scandalous.
mircea_popescu: and doctor visit is a fine idea. a) gets her used to stranger hands up her snatch ; b) pills do have side effects.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform pets say "they sure did back when i was there"

mircea_popescu: theirs an iguana, and iguana is reptile not mammal") is always "global warm"ism / "intelligent design"ism
mircea_popescu: the problem with the political notion of "primitive" is that well, it's the "global warming" from before global warming. there ~is~ a scientific notion of primitive, but it's deeply political inconvenient (such as, primitive society uses hieroglyphics rather than alphabet. making the chinese primitive.) wheres the politically convenient version ("guys in next town over are primitive, because our footbal mascot is a beaver and

mircea_popescu: well, if you don't use windows, there's ~no minimum specs, i've had it run on ten year old laptops. if you do use windows it's unclear as of yet, some people have had problems but seems to be on random hardware
mircea_popescu: these are very deeply disjunct modes. i'm sure [they like to think] telling us teenager that "honey, never mind what the other girls say, you should have self esteem" works for her. from experience it ~works, for a little anywya. but doth not work for subsaharan chick. at all.
mircea_popescu: you can see this in a million places. normal human being eschews reading an announcement, in favour of asking person at the desk personally ; usian "pleasure of white" zealot eschews interacting with this "because there's nowhere to read what to do and have to talk to people"
mircea_popescu: this is not true of most sane people, including all africa. girls there wanna be with other girls and sing call-and-response all day long.

mircea_popescu: ie, if you people are going to herd rather than critically analyze, it might as well be that YOU are the reason the account has to be banned.

mircea_popescu: arguably about as tenuous a basis in reality (what is "a processor" ? really ?)
mircea_popescu: computer science, for instance, also almost entirely consists of terms of art.
mircea_popescu: so it is. then again, it has to be pointed out that all these "studies" are derivative work of literary criticism and phenomenology as the philosophical discipline (80s variant, see eg stanford's "it is the study of structures of conscxiousness"). consequently they consist almost entirely out of terms of art.
mircea_popescu: Mariono prolly want to talk to shinohai if you need help ; otherwise register your key with deedbot
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly enough, it could be rendered in terms of the mp-alf discussion ; on the alf side. it ~says "tyvm for telling us to be less poor ; here in africa no dirigible."
