mircea_popescu: spyked while at it, plox to take danielpbarron.com off #eulora / #trilema ty.
mircea_popescu: It occurred to me that Org is like the Borg: it absorbs everything that gets near it. So laugh all you want but you will be assimilated." and reddit links.
mircea_popescu:
http://irreal.org/blog/ << for the lulz files. incidentally, when i think "emacs user" i think of this moron, "omg you guys .org -> .tex -> .pdf is a great work-flow for sharing information. It's like #inception though - first #emacs became my OS and now everything I create in Emacs is becoming an #Orgmode file. First I started doing all my writing in Emacs (and later, of course, as much of everything else as I could) and the
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and there's no sarcasm nor any subtext at all there. i'm not gonna tell you what to do with your women in general, but by the time what you're doing is driven by "what will wife's daddy think", you fucked up.
mircea_popescu: depends whose, it is not for me to say, nor am i interested in saying.
mircea_popescu: (degenegelation, portmanteau of degeneration and hegel)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am entirely not proposing any others ~have their mothers do~ anything specific, this or that. i am saying though, and plainly, that the sort of people whose mothers ~don't do what they tell them to~ это уже наполовину тетка.
mircea_popescu: this so evidently has nothing at all to do with "cold war" and "nuclear standoff", either.
mircea_popescu: somehow the idiots born during the latter half of the cold war decided the only way to "truly live" is in stasis, waiting for "unresolvable conflict".
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo has a lot more in his hand with the whole degenegeliation theory than readily realised : schmucks simply wanna "dilemma".
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, the 90s romanian redditard magazine was called "dilema".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform on meditation, that piece makes it plainly evident redditardation is ~generational~, not ideological. there sit the russki kids, who'd be in a fine position to understand the problem. god knows they have much better access to much better priors that readily illuminate it.
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: if you ever wondered about the deluge of crossdressers -- this is exactly it, i'm sure. in the immortal words of Weston Amsbury Liggett, "to beat everyone, including you, to the punch".
mircea_popescu: ловину тетка, вне зависимости от его кондиций, возраста и социального статуса."
mircea_popescu: "Мужчина без остро выраженной социальной позиции напоминает трансвестита, подкаблучника, труса или еще какую дешевую мерзость, недостойную носить это гордое имя: Воин! Дядька, стыдливо проходящий мимо подлости и грязи, — это уже напо
mircea_popescu: do you understand we shot that idiot, and for our trouble got "freedom", and so no fucking body reads anymore ?
mircea_popescu: books are too fucking depressing. "hey, remember when people read ?"
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, is why the sort of familiarity-breeds-all-i-need morons "don't get math". boys, especially engineertards, may think her legs carefully exposed so as to "resolve" the "hot but not hot enough for the girlgroup to say slut" "dilemma" pass ; but math never fucking passes, it's always a case of either the way or the highway.
mircea_popescu: i've not spoken to my mother since 2015. we were always very close, and i always liked her, enough so that three decades together didn't produce any cause of rupture. yet somehow, somewhere along the way she got the idea she has the option of venue, and it's up to her whether to be here or not.
mircea_popescu: it'd be a lot more relatable if you managed these things more like i do and less like a rabid pubescent wolverine.
mircea_popescu: in short : you (correctly) insist because it hasn't been proven not to be ; and i am not particularly taken because it doesn't seem to have been. these are different measures.
mircea_popescu: so then, thing can sit as it sits, i don't expect to persuade you (and i see the merit in "pre-republic, engineers===morons". i just don't see why this should be perpetuated, hence original "bag of lulz" comment.
mircea_popescu: i think i have reason to suspect ~the people who made it~ are ~not more notable~ than say amir taaki.
mircea_popescu: this is no proof. but it does inform what is, for all of us, a reasonable suspicion. you think you have reason to suspect bolix is more notable than atari.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ~if~ those people were smart enough to build the item you describe, the ~reasonable expectation~ is they'd have been smart enough to behave ~muchly variant~ from the ~actual way they behaved~ in fields much easier to observe.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: he knows for a fact how this "battle of krivoy rog" turned out.
mircea_popescu: at ~this particular juncture~ kiddie mp tunes out. because while he can't evaluate whether this gypo did or did not serve a "prince of sarajevo" he might or might not have heard of,
mircea_popescu: who defeated the americans at the battle of krivoy rog.
mircea_popescu: told the gathered round kiddies that he was all the while in service of the prince of sarajevo
mircea_popescu: spent a year or so taking it in the ass in the backroom of various roadside inns.
mircea_popescu: one day a poor gypsy teenager with no clear clan affiliation ran away from whatever rural shithole.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which would be the "music" in this discussion ?
mircea_popescu: it takes stronger distorsion fields than i'm willing to run, the entertaining of this particular flavour of "but nevertheless"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the only bag of lulz is the apparently endlessly recurent "this chick's a moron but ima indulge".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, your putative source of putative products that may one day do something or not could be upset or not for all the practical difference it makes.
mircea_popescu shrugs. "some things you might maybe one day get that he won't be able to use then anyway" seems an entirely over-ellaborate way to say "nothing".
mircea_popescu: yes, but it seemed to me as if you only had putative products. hence it'd appear there's a mismatch.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: are these products factual products or putative products ?
mircea_popescu: and you like her enough to overlook this, and so it goes.
mircea_popescu: and you don't want him to be looking through it because whatever, not nice enough, and well...
mircea_popescu: phf you want to say "if i can't discriminate then why am i lord", then you turn around and it's "either i have something or i don't have something." well, discriminate, which is it ?
mircea_popescu: phf i never heard of scavenger taking the loving tack to the quarry. usually scavenger sounds like alf sounds.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform group of ~dead~ geologists in taiga, with working radios and smoking guns, WAY closer to monkey than the chucka female that told them each she's gonna put out the same night in the same place.
mircea_popescu: phf this whole "i care about the relationship for the stuff it can produce" is very like what proust'd said.
mircea_popescu: not so far from monkeys, either, consider how the thing went, 1998-2018. but i think the thread's not worth rehashing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so i have some air stashed away, i'll live.
mircea_popescu: yeah but i mean, capable when producing what etcetera. i never pursued a woman in my life, nor do i intend to ever start ; i hold no grudges for those who do, but you do understand ~an entire half of the species~ survived to the present day by ~exploting~ this behaviour of yours, yes ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and moreover, from the other side, "fiat bolix, pereat mundus, ruat caelum" ? "i am ~so dedicated~ to reconstructing this 80s atari, i am willing to spend however long living with and among fucktarded orc populations, at the risk of my brain rotting like boas'" ? did you actually think this through and that's how it came out ?
mircea_popescu: indulge me for a moment, if you will, and make sense of this salad. why exactly would you ~care~ about the relationship with some morons who ~actually read~ the logs and then douchebag out of the republic ? "because they know really interesting secrets" ? you genuinely believe this is possible, people being both so fucking stupid as to opt out of the republic, and so fucking smart as to have anything, ~anything whatsoever~ to
mircea_popescu: trinque there seems to be a halting problem somewhere buried in there, among various other maladroitisms.
mircea_popescu: talking to a girl doesn't result in an obligation to fuck her. or marry her. or raise her offspring. you're just talking.
mircea_popescu: could for the same money have "hey phf-- i know i said so and so in the past, but truth be told now i got these chips and i'd like to get some work done, so how about..."
mircea_popescu: you don't ~have to~ need me to read this three times instead of playing dungeoneers
mircea_popescu: so far you've learned that if you learn or don't learn it's not apparently a process within your control. which in itself needs some examination.
