mircea_popescu: there's this moment of manhood for homer simpson when marge bakes a pie and he says "i'm just going to chew this way, no pies better be getting in my way".
mircea_popescu: you do what you do. what comes of it, nobody cares. ideally least of all you. once you start caring, you start losing.
mircea_popescu: there isn't an algo. not something to use, or w/e. the results aren't within your hands.
mircea_popescu: you're so narrowly welded to this "i will improve my lot" us quakerism. what algo.
mircea_popescu: one doesn't have to be a highwayman anymore than anything else. what, you gotta be a highwayman now ?
mircea_popescu: where do they find dudes to vouch for everything that ever crawls out from between a woman's legs is the mystery of all time.
mircea_popescu: which come to think about... i dunno where they find these. i knew maybe half dozen 13yo i'd have vouched for, and that's already pushing it.
mircea_popescu: well, as ritual. but as meaning, it's a sort of "men of community vouch for this young shit"
mircea_popescu: which is what stuff like bar mitzvah etc was supposed to be in the first place.
mircea_popescu: without letters of introduction from known source... best stick with skirts.
mircea_popescu: but now i finally understand why i'm mostly uninterested in having any truck with males.
mircea_popescu: there's a very fucking good reason she changes her name and wears her hair as long as captor ordains. it's the fucking design, she gets captured and re-socialized in captor's castle.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would a man chose to live as a woman over dying as a man.
mircea_popescu: no, it's alweays "if i do really well maybe I WILL BE". you'll be what, exactly.
mircea_popescu: it's never you know, i'm the lord of aquitanie, here lost in fucking coventry and i want to go back home.
mircea_popescu: "oh, i gotta take college debt on, i'm in a weak negotiating position. otherwise i don't get to my bright fucking future".
mircea_popescu: the irony of all time being that all these schmucks running around enacting this damsel in distress fantasy "oh noes i'm in a WEAK NEGOTIATING POSITION" are all working class stiffs with absolutely nothing to look for anyway, and that in the best case.
mircea_popescu: can one even kill himself with a nagant ? ain't it too long ?
mircea_popescu: what you call "a weak negotiating position" i call being a woman. you're supposed to take it up the ass ; that's the design.
mircea_popescu: "everything i do is me being in a '''weak''' negotiating position. it's my sexual fantasy."
mircea_popescu: what ever happened to "you want it signed, 5bn goes there. else take a hike"
mircea_popescu: this is like "mp has never been married". you gotta CONSENT to be married!
mircea_popescu: "you want to get through, this is how you get through. you don't want to get through, here's an unsupervised mailbox"
mircea_popescu: they're not really given netpipes now, either. gotta pollute windows and forums and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: so then what "death of email". like "Death of lice", oh honey, what ever happened to all the lice.
mircea_popescu: a) i never participated in groups where open address was the norm and b) you'd have to go through filters to get to me.
mircea_popescu: i do not believe i ever found myself in this "email" situation. not ever. trilema comments have been a shocking exception, but otherwise
mircea_popescu: i dunno man, always takes more to write than it takes to not read.
mircea_popescu: but as per the latter... just fucking write, who cares.
mircea_popescu: historically, they tried to control commentary on the bible, for it distracted from bible study.
mircea_popescu: now, as per the former, you'd have to forbid anyone from writing anything about "neoreaction" because i dunno, they're clouding out the true truth as found on your blog.
mircea_popescu: the smart one, and also the historical winner, is to accept anything not-entirely-shitty, and let it sort itself.
mircea_popescu: the idiotic one, and also the historical loser, is to reject anything imperfect, and hold out.
mircea_popescu: to any human activity that's fragmentary and incomplete (such as writing, whatever the form), two fundamental approaches may be applied.
mircea_popescu: seems scarcely any difference. the pow such as it was, always was some social capital, and not much at that.
mircea_popescu: i see not the difference. before, you had to get permission from authority to publish ; then, you had to get enough money / promise of sales together ; finally, you had to have a "following".
mircea_popescu: "x can be burried" "so can y" "anything can be" "Then why bring it up"
mircea_popescu: well, if it's all in eye of beholder, then books ~can't be ruined~.
mircea_popescu: so far this difference is entirely in eye of youholder.
mircea_popescu: hey, you can't special plead. you gotta argue to mechanism.
mircea_popescu: so then therefore we agree that more books being published is the best thing that ever happened for the book.
mircea_popescu: well, and until i learn stupid myself, dickens' my man for stupid.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this "nobody on the internet knows you're a dog" does not excuse any dogs.
mircea_popescu: the fact remains that either you agree EVERYONE writing as many books as humanly possible is really a benefit for books, somehow (cuz you get access to supposedly valuable whatever the fuck you wouldn't have otherwise) ; or else you agree random internet dude picking up the web mantle and derping about how "the cathedral" sucks is really fucking up the work of the actual good men involved in tearing that shit down.
mircea_popescu: sooner or later it'll come back to "oh, you don't seriously mean to kill my children!111"
mircea_popescu: the fact remains random married derp who has to earn his daily bread has no right and no qualification to criticise society.
mircea_popescu: how is this supposed to work, "waiter can be as dirty as he pleases, not like he's the cook" ?
mircea_popescu: do you mind discussing what we're discussing rather than what you're discussing ?
mircea_popescu: if yarvin/spandrell/etc qualify to discuss society ; then literally ex boxers are qualified to pen books.
mircea_popescu: they're fucking poor, for one thing. dependents to the hilt. what.
