mircea_popescu: i don't recall castro making any decision in
the kennedy ultimatum, at any juncture.
mircea_popescu: thereby "corruption =
the rent is about
to go up ~1`984x"
mircea_popescu: nope. russians can now jam. either you get
them next
to sevastopol or forget it.
mircea_popescu: (the geostrategic situation, for
the very understandably disinterested, is
that usg can not maintain pretense of mediteranean presence without ground missiles in constanta, because
the ru navy actually works whereas
the us clittorals do not.)
mircea_popescu: somehow
the idiots didn't see
that whole
thing for
the
trap it was. "first, let
them build it, doh"
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the whole
thing is "we captured
the ro judiciary,
the wave
turned, we're
trying
to defend
this asset for now".
ben_vulpes: "we don't have any real news!" "eh, let
them filter spam."
mod6: Let
them filter spam.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 16:30 asciilifeform: 'dreamer' culture is somewhat like a school of pilotage absent
the landing.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-27 20:42 asciilifeform: i'd naively expect
that adacore's item would be
the satanic one, and gcc's fork --
the functional. but so far in no case was
this
the finding.
mod6: basically my mental picture of
the whole
thing
mod6: and adacore's is supposed
to be canonical im guessing?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-27 20:40 asciilifeform: currently asciilifeform is barfing over
the fact
that adacore's gnat is happy
to build static 'independent library' .a while gpl gcc's gnat barfs

the 'time microscope'
thing is
typical of aging inventors who, by virtue of being cut off from competent peers (either by having none alive, or being on
the wrong side of a jail of one kind or another)
mircea_popescu: it's one
thing
to see
things
thatr aren't
there. for as long as you live in
the world of
things
that are
there. once you move
to living in
the unreal...
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the problem, as
that wise doctor pointed out, isn't when you start hearing voices, but when you start
talking back.
mircea_popescu: you'd be surprised what % of current "novels" fail
this simple
test.
mircea_popescu: "lifetime wanker will have adapted
to his lifestyle". oh... you don't say.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-24 05:34 mircea_popescu: one day i'll understand how
this sense-nonsense alloying works.
mircea_popescu: wankery is
the adolescentine state whereby
the
things we don't look at aren't
there because
the power of our imagination makes
the playboy girl real!
mircea_popescu: which reduces
to, "most of your
time, and most of your women's
time, will be spent with cows."
mircea_popescu: there's no going back
to a state of innocence, whereby "we don't know what's at
the end of
the earth".
thereby,
there's no going back
to a state where we will ever do anything other
than sift
through herds looking for
the accidentally lost woman in an inexplicable sheepskin.
mircea_popescu: all "sawing
through
the cage" proposals i've seen
to date (and a major part of what i do is look for exactly
that) consist of either idle wankery (german philosophy school etc) or else "here's how
to cut a
two inch hole in
the wall, stick a paper bag out of
there, and duct
tape it
to
the hole from outside".
ty... but...
this replaces a wall with a paper bag ? "yes, but it goes FURTHER OUT!!" sure, but i still know it like my

to his friends, 'history divides into
three eras, matriarchate, patriarchate, and secretariate'
mircea_popescu: this being
the only proper definition of modernity : man after finally having walked
the perimeter of his cage.
mircea_popescu: modernity is modernity,
there's no out of it. once you walked around your cage, it's walked,
there's no undoing it.
mircea_popescu: and in
the sense
that he has
the choice
to either put mangers in and fill
them every winter or be forest walker ; and
that he either obeys "hunting season" or idem ; and so on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your notion is anachronistic, in
the sense
that it compares a "hunter" cut out of
the 10k years ago subsistence hunter contained in
the expression hunter-gatherer with
the modern farmer. you can't cross
time boundries like
that. modern hunter is modern in exactly
the same way modern farmer is modern, and for
the same reasons. historical "farmer" is just as primitive as
the hunter, which is why it's even called
a111: Logged on 2014-01-19 19:48 mircea_popescu: i came
to it studying
the warrior forum (*) years ago, when i noticed
the unifying factor in all
their
textual emissions was a desire
to "make money while you sleep".
mircea_popescu: hunter, concerns, inasmuch as he bothers
to notice frog is frog does not shoot at frog ; farmer, doesn't concern, in asmuch as doesn't go out picking
thistle.
mircea_popescu: do you
think
these categories are distinguishable ? modern hunter === modern farmer.
mircea_popescu: so how do you secrete a wall between
this and cows all day ?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 13:22 mircea_popescu: diana_coman yes, pre-communism romania had private land ownership, resulting in "tarani" as
the genertal noun not having any land.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what do you
think it is i do, all day every day ?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 13:20 mircea_popescu: consider what
the (immensely popular at
the
time) item says : "la
tarani le-a luat pamintul, la studenti le-a luat cuvintul, la soferi le-a luat benzina, la prosti le facea cu mina". ie,
the peasants HAD land. how ? when ? without
the fucking communists
the usg-alligned maniu, bratianu & friends would be STILL dithering over minor land distributions. exactly like
the usgstan does.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 13:14 diana_coman: mircea_popescu, peasants of 1800 did not have
the option of plastic or
they'd have
taken it just
the same;
that being said I still recall
the communist-ro going precisely
that route e.g. have now
this here wonderful soya-oil just as good as
the "true
thing" which supposedly was... sunflower oil because nobody was supposed
to even remember olive oil
a111: Logged on 2014-06-02 18:30 mircea_popescu: Up until recently it was practically impossible
to become embroiled into any sort of dealing with
the subgroup,
their ownership being strictly assumed and
their lives strictly subsumed by
the corporations competent at dealing with
the human cattle : fastfood providers, supermarkets,
the government. Both as employers and providers
these specialised bureaucracies have
the necessary
tools, including cattle prods (or what
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 12:58 mircea_popescu: and speaking of which,
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-28#1743518 prolly needs
to be addressed better
than
the original "i wouldn't give a shit" : i'm ready
to
take over
the governance of
the entire world from
the hands of
the inept pretenders of
today, as of yesterday.
the result would be very ~different~, yes, but
that's irrelevant.
mircea_popescu: o look, it's in
there, some "professor of publishing".
mircea_popescu: prepubescent kid, right you are. but
then with puberty
the problems begin.
