ascii_field: 'but with [the dope]
a page boils with theorems. without - just
a piece of paper. mathematics lost
a month because of you.'
mircea_popescu: "It is
a kind of extreme method acting; call it ironically absurd behavior." << i knew "method acting" was fucking stupid the moment i heard of it
ascii_field: apocryphally, p erdos was once persuaded by
a close phriend to quit dope for
a month
mircea_popescu: rdis, then I would know how to pilot it. If such
a drug existed, then my sexual problems would all disappear.
mircea_popescu: Because picturing yourself exerting power is fantasy; imagining yourself as victim is easy. Which is why you brought this all up. You spend
a lot of your waking life creating elaborate fantasies of power that contain their own self-justifying logic, and those fantasies are so numerous that added together they actually take up
a real portion of your day.
A portion you're not spending on something else. If I saw
a Ta
ascii_field: aha why give cargocultist
a real airplane?!!1
mircea_popescu: "my immunity from gunfire is 7k shots
a week, how high is YOUR level of gunfire immunity ? over 9000 ?"
mircea_popescu: i take it as
a personal point of pride that i've yet to discharge
a weapon and NOT HIT SOMETHING.

a thing : gun owners are its biggest advocates.
ascii_field: this is entirely true and
a cursory familiarity with american sport shooting folks will confirm
mircea_popescu: he wants to take the "spear that will pierce any shield" and fashion it into
a shield that will stop any spear.
ascii_field: 'stop hanging shit, visit
a firing range...'
trinque: considering the multiple placebo effect threads, I would not be shocked to find believing "I am about to enter
a hyper-aware state" is all there is to it
ascii_field: (not really, because i would not wish this on
a friend. but you get the idea)
ascii_field: i would like to see how much attention mircea_popescu would pay if he NEVER got
a full night of sleep
ascii_field: and i realize that most idiots want to get
a maxint from
a zero
ascii_field: the purpose of dope in this example is as
a force multiplier.
ascii_field: with '
a great deal of discipline' one could become napoleon.
trinque: with
a great deal of discipline I'm certain one can observe himself in the same manner with no such substance.
mircea_popescu: fine, one would not refuse to use
a condom because it's not their own cock!
trinque: one would not refused to use
a microsope because it is not merely his own eyes
assbot: Logged on 05-11-2015 00:34:39; mircea_popescu: better model; always asks current ego to die because current ego is
a piece of shit.
mircea_popescu: or moreover for adults seeking to relive 5yo-dom being
a tad regressive ?
mircea_popescu: no but looky, there's fifty people eating in
a free fast food joint, except the rule is that when the music stops the cook comes out and picks
a patron to suck his cock.
assbot: Logged on 06-11-2015 19:50:44; mircea_popescu: you have to understand ontogenesis is
a two step process. first,
a blob develops.then, controlled apoptosis,
a process so fundamental cells have signalling baked in for it (but not for hunger, not for pain etc) makes the spaces between what will be your fingers.
ascii_field: it was
a grotesque crime for which - afaik - no one was made to answer.
ascii_field: adlai: not needed if you can verify sigs at line bandwidth at
a multitude of relays.
trinque: adlai: there's
a paragraph there on how, but I can provide some code at
a later date
mircea_popescu: all sorts of caged penii
a la blair wet their pants^H^H^H^ girly panties because o noes, nude display of will.
mircea_popescu: "yes. and we sell it at
a discount wirth this caveat, we won't take it back. it's already been returned by
a dozen people. perfectly healthy parrot, fine specimen, but -"
mircea_popescu: "nothing really, just this : it's the parrot of
a deceased brothel madam. spent all his prior life in brothel, has very saucy conversation"
mircea_popescu: and one day sees in window of pet shop
a beautiful white specimen, and the price. which, shockingly, is not only much less than what
a parrot costs, but also within her savings!
mircea_popescu: well, let me recount the hungarian parrot joke. so :
a middle aged housefrau has always wanted, ever since little girl, aparrot. so she saves and saves,
jurov: later i learned to keep
a reminder "this may not necessarily be true"
mircea_popescu: but the "Shut up
a second" and especially "listen" is not ... convenient for many folks.
mircea_popescu: simple example : if i get
a stomach upset, i can identify the culprit through the simple process of ... "shut the fuck up
a mintuer and listen".
ascii_field: if you had
a dope that shuts it up and staples its mouth,
jurov: mhm.. at the age children try to self-suffocate and mircea went to engage
a lamb... i learned to plant false memories in myself. It was very scary.
ascii_field: anyway there is
a thing in there that says 'i dun wanna, i'll stay in bed'
trinque: it would necessarily be
a very difficult thing to say anything about
trinque meditated for hours once and when he stopped chattering to himself about
a narrative, there was left something that made me think for
a long time about will, and what this observer was that was left sitting there
mircea_popescu: o do this heavy lifting as long as they are given just the right facts, filtered from the "noise." "Where can we get the right facts, in
a world of liars?" Good question, maybe the news?"
mircea_popescu: The "independent" demo actually has all the textbook characteristics of
a group most susceptible to propaganda, more correctly "pre-propaganda", and by textbook I mean literally Propaganda.
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news, "Worse, they proudly announce their lack of ideology by branding themselves as Independents-- capital I,
a thing,
a demo. He willingly lessens his independence to become part of
a group.
ascii_field: and yes, it is possible that
a man given 'will dope' will just immediately eat his pistol.
mircea_popescu suspects it is
a reimplementation of ancient stuff on new hardware.
ascii_field: (go throw
a motorbike! but tear your muscles to shreds)
ascii_field: where it had the appearance of behaving like
a muscle
mircea_popescu: which makes it
a good movie ; which hollywood can't apparently do.
mircea_popescu: all life works in
a certain way for the reason that it's cheapest
mircea_popescu: and filogenesis replicates ontogenesis, or vice-versa. first, the woman spits out
a blob, then of the blob collection the men kill some,
mircea_popescu: you have to understand ontogenesis is
a two step process. first,
a blob develops.then, controlled apoptosis,
a process so fundamental cells have signalling baked in for it (but not for hunger, not for pain etc) makes the spaces between what will be your fingers.
☟︎ ascii_field: i.e. killed himself
a little bit to profit some schmuck
ascii_field: trinque: anyone who's ever worked for
a living has already done this.
assbot: Logged on 02-02-2015 06:58:18; asciilifeform: but being tall, which someone CAN NOT get, <<<< ahahha. soviet science winz again. had
a process for -actually- growing taller.
ascii_field: there is, iirc,
a clinic in ru that does it. booked for years in advance.
☟︎ ascii_field: we know how to stretch
a man's legs to make him taller than mircea_popescu, but not this
ascii_field: re: sleep, i have
a ~26 hr circadian and this isn't fixable
mircea_popescu: which is why teaching slavegirls to orgasm on command is important. the internalised sexuality is
a good and useful proxy for
a great many other things they need.
☟︎ ascii_field: anything could be. could be that i turn up
a crate of penis dope and then end up restructuring whole personal economic life around getting moar.
ascii_field: it is constraints from external things that lead people to want to turn their body into
a reliable mechanism
mircea_popescu: could it be that your girl is actually
a MUCH NICER partner (for sex) than you are for yourself (in your own head, doing things, like sleeping)
ascii_field: i wouldn't want to fuck with sleep either if i didn't have to stand up at
a post at x o'clock
ascii_field: yes. ergo dope. i am not
a principled opponent of dope
mircea_popescu: "imagine no baldness. there'd be no stopping them,
a nation of supermen" ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, the chief problem with self esteem, and it is indeed
a major problem, is that coping strategies develop and are tested as the name says : through coping. will is
a fabulous thing, which serves approximately the same role as beauty in teenaged females : now you don't gotta work at anything, because lalaland. and so you don't. and so you suck at everything ELSE. and you're fucked. the problem with self esteem is
ascii_field: two drunken louts went to hunt boar. one wanders over to
a neighbouring 'number' (hunt sub-lot) and says 'there are many moar boar here'
mircea_popescu: ascii_field and at about the same age, i wanted to fight
a lamb! headbutting ftw
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: there is
a sov joke about this!
ascii_field: what keeps the kid from fighting with
a garbage truck
mircea_popescu: ascii_field there are two kinds of three year olds. all three year olds sooner or later threaten their parents with holding their breath. all parents laugh at this, as it's
a physiological impossibility : if you do any sort of
a good job you necessarily pass out, and once you pass out autosomatic control restarts breathing. the two kinds of kids are : the ones that are dissuaded by this ; and the ones that are now.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the erect cock, as an incarnation of will, is the one and only driver of action. which is why attempts to legislate inaction are stuck pretending "rape" exists. unless everyone's flaccid, the supremacy of will over everything is too hard
a sell.
mircea_popescu: which is also why inteligence is not
a force. not anymore than make-up is
a force.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the insistent, unyielding, disinterested in ANYTHING, eternally repeating the same inept shit behaviour of stupidity is certainly
a force. that force is called will.
mircea_popescu: everyone [smart, white, rich, whatevs] likes to think of intelligence as
a force. perhaps it is.
mircea_popescu: and by 2028 they come twice
a day, and you... what ? you do what, link the log, and on and on ?
mircea_popescu: now suppose cca 2026 some twerps come to persuade you to go take minsk. and you quote this line of the log to them, and they go "huh" becaue hey, log is too difficult and what's
a gpg ?
mircea_popescu: religion among educated whites in favor of science. Not physics or chemistry, but evolution. Tabloids were incomprehensibly popular, partisan media the norm.
A loosening of conventional morality manifested as bored promiscuity, female bisexuality, and
a flood of new porn the likes of which never existed before.
mircea_popescu: Well, yes, obviously, there had just been
a massive leap forward in technology and industrialization,
a booming economy fueling
a wealth gap, temporarily course corrected by
a financial panic "precipitated" by the failure of two overspeculating brokerage houses. There were also, simultaneously, great advances in progressive causes like worker's rights and food quality, all on the background of decreasing importance of
