mircea_popescu: the problem with your views is
that
they priviledge
the speed of light over other speeds much more important
to luce irigaray.
mircea_popescu: are you seriously sitting
there and
telling me
that
the pantsuit are 100% ineffectual and ineffective and
the reason something isn't a weapon is
that something not working as one ? DO WE STILL HAVE
TO DO
THIS ?~!?!? IN 2018?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: "that does... absolutely nohing ?" "it passes
the
tests!"
mircea_popescu: well, obviously
there's a whole
train, and anthrax and whatnot. but
the civilisation-shaping one, was oftica.
mircea_popescu: much better, in
that it either kills or doesn't kill, but doesn't ~degrade~.
mircea_popescu: there's also an interesting property, whereby every domestic also has its parasite (obviously). cow has
tb. goat has scabies. on it goes. chicken -- salmonella.
mircea_popescu: let's put it
this way : henry's populist programme for england was build around "one chicken for every pot each week"
mircea_popescu: part of
the reason i despise
the bright minds behind "seti" is -- fucktards managed
to put no chicken in
there ? really ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not just ; also sorta cheap
toy, and clock, and it hurrs at itself
to
tell itself "All is well" and many
things.
phf: chickens are incredibly easy
to care for.
two of
three every summer in summer house
mircea_popescu: what dog is
to boy, hen is
to woman,
throughout history and geography, from africa
to suffolk and so on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this is so! quality wall--is horizontal. for
they who can afford
to pay.
phf: well, i'm also not sure which imperative i'm representing here, but i'm humoring
the dynamic
mircea_popescu: they're also unreliable, western devils and
their skateboardin' on
the iron sidewalks.
mircea_popescu: you know
they're still walls when you're
too poor and unskilled
to make
them out of stone and rely on sheer distances
to supplant
the actual construction.
mircea_popescu: so is
this a shit-denying&seeking schizo duality or what
then ?
phf: pluck some locals
that seem like
they have a head of some sort, send
them back
to moscow for education, repeat
☟︎ phf: actually i
think in soviet system
they were produced by going further distance from moscow.
the whole soviet engineer model of economic expansion: send a group of leveled up moscovites
to khanty-mansiyks
to build a factory and a hospital
a111: Logged on 2017-08-16 17:30 mircea_popescu: when i was about six or so, visiting some relatives who had a farm, i discovered a romanian bareneck (kind of chicken) chick drowning in
the sty efflux. so i picked it out, and it was a pet for a year or so and
then made a great soup. rooster,
too.
mircea_popescu: i just went
through
this marxist-leninist cycle myself
mircea_popescu: (i
thought
the story of my rescuing a
transylvanian naked neck chick drowning in
the sty effluvia was written somewhere -- apparently not. aanyways.)
phf: there's no place for
transcendent in a five year plan
mircea_popescu: some kind of "she chose
to work really hard and make something of her life ; went
to school
to get ny journaho job" ?
mircea_popescu: what is
the meaning of "ascension" in
this context, if it isn't literally "i picked a chick out of
the river of shit" ?
☟︎☟︎ phf: yeah, atavisms at best, museum pieces from
the past, non-civilized, yccles in
the marxist-leninist
theory of cyclical historical development
phf: hmm, i suspect myself and ascii are products of soviet background. we expect
there
to not be shit also outside
the castle walls (no shit in all
the new soviet man's households by year 1956!)
mircea_popescu: i dunno what's so worrying about
this, honestly. shit also cumulative, while good food fragile. doesn't seem
to alter
the
table arrangements of my house or any one i care
to know of.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-12 19:15 asciilifeform:
the worrisome aspect imho is
that sanity is -- apparently -- fragile, while idiocy -- ratcheting/cumulative
mircea_popescu: for
the same money might as well ask "Director of Student Conduct Andrea Goodwin" what she
thinks republican expression should look like.
mircea_popescu: i don't have
the original here
to check against it so it's not a certainty, but it doesn't seem
to have been.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-12 19:08 asciilifeform prolly doomed
to excavate and read
the sourcetexts, like civilized people
a111: Logged on 2017-04-13 12:32 mircea_popescu:
today it's "here's a deck of representational
trading cards, pick one
to
think you are, and we'll be reprersenting...
the card!!! and
therefore (?!?!?) you".

mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1770012 << especially
the notion
that
there's any point in even reading items younger
than you. here's a pro
tip : before dante's middle-of-the-forest, do not waste your
time reading anything younger
than you,
there's absolutely no point and no benefit.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-01-12 22:40 asciilifeform: and in particular 'In light of recent hate bias incidents on
the campus,
the committee decided
to remove "Intentionally and substantially interfering with
the freedom of expression of others" as a listed prohibited conduct as it sends
the "wrong message," said Director of Student Conduct Andrea Goodwin.'
mircea_popescu: to reiterate -- whole point of
the entire exercise is
to publicly, paifully BREAK
the usg system, and
to humiliate
the united states government in
the process.
mircea_popescu: but in no case is your passport involved in
the workings of
this item.

that another 2-5 business days and
they I should be banked.
lobbes: This reminds me of a quote somewhere in logs, went something like "US education just hands kids a deck of 'beliefs', 'principles', 'truths', etc; says: pick one or
two. Battle each other like in ur pokemans"
lobbes: "Oh noes!! May have
to LEARN something in University!"
