mircea_popescu: well, there's theological problems with everything. i'm for instance not terribly keen on the whole "higher power" stuff.
mircea_popescu: sure. i don't see why it wouldn't. once it gets a basement at least.
mircea_popescu: fun fact : ru sosloviye (the official social segregation in power throughout most of the period ru was worth the mention, intellectually) distinguished white and black sub classes of the cleric class.
mircea_popescu: he got a penis somewhere under there or is just "talkin' in general" ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's many dozens of ~equivalent pulp, british classically educated scribes of "nice" and correct dribblets of fiction.
mircea_popescu: "inarguably the most celebrated and decorated living English-language author", supposedly. a ridiculous notion.
mircea_popescu: "If you are white, no positive, active role is left to you. Either you accommodate yourself to the unreasonable, or you play out your life in some futile back alley. You are doomed to this by the disgraceful history of your kind. Maybe it's fair, maybe it's not, but it is the way things are." << from another schmuck with a nobel prize.
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: hilary should really be a very informative example for all teenaged girls today : NOTHING slavery inflicts upon you is quite as bad as what "being a successful" mainstream derp does to you.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: first, gotta lie about bill. now, gotta lie about a candidacy SHE DIDNT EVEN WANT.
mircea_popescu: she had to go into "politics" and well... she sure as fuck got a heaping helping of democratic rape.
mircea_popescu: but instead of joining a master's dungeon and being a happy slave,
mircea_popescu: that poor woman. have you seen her as a young derp ? quite fuckable.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo woman is crumbling ; coincidentally (of course) it all started just about when mp heard about the bullshit dem party scamcoin ideas.
mircea_popescu: well, the more "read my lips : no new taxes" element of hussein bahamas' platform was "closing guantanamo ; getting out of iraq" etc.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "people thought they were for voting for when" wtf ?
mircea_popescu: ahahahaha wait, hilary is going to legalize ganja because of trump ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (the 2010 smolensk plowing experiment being preceded by a 2008 similar incident at home, which only killed a bunch of military people and resulted in five firings etc.)
mircea_popescu: fun fact : the poles are responsible for two out of the total of two cfit accidents since the introduction of egpws.
mircea_popescu: by now r/btc is a pretty decent inverse signal i imagine
mircea_popescu: and yes, "countercultural" of the 70s/80s connections, you name it.
mircea_popescu: phf yeah but it's been meaning the same in au bush and ozark rural communities and etc.
mircea_popescu: but fwiw, they have them in the ozarks, slovakia, you name it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it occurs to me that, as per earlier discussion re anthropology etc, "it's a religious artefact!!!" best covers most of the things you make anyway
mircea_popescu: eh aliens. for the same money you can worship pacific islanders.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron at the very least the devil can't testify. who cares what the usg thinks you've done, nobody's liable to ask it, nor may it likely acquire a voice without losing itself.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: traditionally this matter is approached by naming "a commission" but we're blessed with numbers low enough to have direct archy!
mircea_popescu: and meanwhile - all teh wot peoples, please do consider the matter to the outreach of your abilities. were there a tmsr theology, what'd it say and what'd it look like ? what wouldn't it say and what would it not look like ? and why and wherefore.
mircea_popescu: so in the end, we've very little to work on here. do you figure this fellow could be enticed to show up here sometime ?
mircea_popescu: suppose you figured out, entirely correctly as far as you can tell, and otherwise irreducibly in any manner, that indeed white people must paint black. and he says that's ridiculous. what do you do now, give it up ? give him up ?
mircea_popescu: so is your agreement to the interpretation the turning stone ?
mircea_popescu: so if he tomorrow says white people must paint their skin black, do you follow or schism or what ?!
mircea_popescu personally couldn't give less of a crap about the entire thing other than it being in danielpbarron 's wot.
mircea_popescu: well, but i mean what exactly is the relation there. does it matter to the symbol "a true church" what the person "darwin fish" says ? where exactly is your loyalty there or how does this work ?
mircea_popescu: i suspect much more serious sticking points will come the other way. specifically, i suspect tmsr to be a larger intellectual force than whosoever darwin fish is, as a temporal rather than spiritual matter. consequently, the sticking point will not be inferences from him limiting us, but inferences from us driving him up the wall. for instance, obvious possible sticking point being that in tmsr doctrine, it is a sin to engage
☟︎ mircea_popescu: danielpbarron back to theology : it's one thing to forbid, it's another thing to enforce. does it also forbid, say, sitting in a room with "known fornicators" for instace ? up to a point it'll be their sin - their problem.
mircea_popescu: so, sensible it is. whether it's workable or not hopefully can be resolved.
mircea_popescu: and thirdly - you go to porcfest, right ? next time, you can go properly, set up a donation and ecumenic drive.
mircea_popescu: having a nice party house somewhere, free if you're in the wot sort of thing, can't hurt anyone.
mircea_popescu: another is that, well, its a much better way to hold real estate than anything alf came up with to date. since he's decided he's not moving because he's ax-crazy or something, this is the logical next step
☟︎ mircea_popescu: next time something like that blows up, i'd much rather there's a whole church apparatus ready to go, rather than having to fish random people from portland for the purpose.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron theology aside for a moment, there's three major components in my mind here.
mircea_popescu: arguable i guess if it's actually destroying the world or just making it smell bad
mircea_popescu: exploring this a little will certainly be beneficial, if for no other reason then because it'll force statement of the foregoing
mircea_popescu: but more practically : at issue is the theological consideration of whether [so far mostly unstated] tmsr.theological-doctrine actually does or does not contradict the form of christianity you were importing there
mircea_popescu: well... nothing right can contradict rigthness, all right things are one. so in principle they shouldn't.
mircea_popescu: well, on one hand certainly one can't have a church worshipping a false god ; as far as practice goes you can't have full control of the doctrine cuz it being a church, it has to have a metaphysical component.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron good work. so the practical question here is, would you be personally interested in running a us tmsr church ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i dunno man. seemed at the time and still seems today like polish suicide.
mircea_popescu: president, most of the general staff, natl bank president, ex president, etc
mircea_popescu: classically. modernly, where did they scatter that plane ? smolensk was it ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform quote in der untergang, "alle hoheren offiziere liquidieren zu lassen, wie stalin!!!1"
mircea_popescu: trinque how hard would it be for deedbot to put a \n before any url if the message would be cut in the url otherwise ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i recently blew up a trilema title, someone pointed this out in the log, you can check the thing working there.
mircea_popescu: wp (at least, mp-wp) will forever 304 the old requests to the new
