mircea_popescu: not going back to roman numerals, either. and so following.
mircea_popescu: i'm not gonna go about pretending like "whatever, ox power, combustion engine, what the hell's the difference". pretty fucking well evident what the hell's the difference.
mircea_popescu: that also aside, it's not a matter of " his imperative doesn't align with that of all the rest of the republic ". this is like saying "the medicine of african shamans doesn't allign with the post-pasteur views". not a matter of "not allign", a matter of "that false '''imperative''' has been floating about to 0 effect for three thousand years ; this actual imperative is manifestly more powerful."
mircea_popescu: but outside of this, yes, the best available recuperative reconstruction of danielpbarron 's latest shenanigans is in this vein, "trolling xtians".
mircea_popescu: also why the whole "my dear folks, blog!" and everything else. the shortage is of hands not of "ideas".
mircea_popescu: which is how a dozen writers end up writing for jerry lewis, rather than a dozen jerry lewises banging down the door of Joe Q Writer : way the FUCK more good premises than folk who can do something with them.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform b, the index of the loop, cranks on every iteration.
mircea_popescu: (if i understand correclty, and := is in fact better/cheaper than +)
mircea_popescu: anyway, my point is : it ~already~ cranks b forward. might as well piggyback on that
mircea_popescu: i thought you were muxing because didn't like the additions for some reason
mircea_popescu: Wouldn't it be (very marginally) cheaper to simply do what you did before, ie Index := W_Mux(b, Index, W_ZeroP(W)); ?
mircea_popescu: Fwiw, this is incorrect. 0 ~is~ the postion of the eldest 1 if "none exist", and the comment correctly reads "Find the position of eldest nonzero bit."
mircea_popescu: > -- Find the position of eldest nonzero bit, if any exist
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so far i entirely agree you can't use montgomery for your purpose.
mircea_popescu: (and the fact that nobody asked "which, the pole or the prussian" kinda is exactly what i'm talking about. what the fuck, we're going to discuss things we don't know about, meh)
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's again a weakass copy of hasidism. they also had dynasties, though there's a lot of difference between tzvi hirsch and jimmy swaggart
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, we were discussing one here at some point also.
mircea_popescu: meh, apparently "pongo" google-denotes a dalmatian. it's the species name of a large, loud subhuman hominid.
mircea_popescu: 18th century "rationalist" paintings were very keen on the cadaver synod, but this is the pongo papacy.
mircea_popescu: you should look at their paratheological disputes sometime.
mircea_popescu: it's like watching reality tv by & for retards, "oh, look, it's another morning, will john the retard manage to tie his shoes his time ? we will be back after a word from our sponsor, Watch Paint Dry While Flies Fuck (tm)"
mircea_popescu: how the fuck am i going to be interested by a three-centuries-later, three-hundred-books-unread rehash of a ~minor~ ~peasant~ movement ?! what next, we're going to sit around wondering in fascination at pete_d's accomplishments ? hory shit, some guy got married and carefully didn't piss off the in-laws his whole life. NEVER HEAR THAT STORY BEFORE PLOX TELL ME MORE!
mircea_popescu: to write about divinity interestingly, one needs to be aware of a ~shitload~ more stuff than is available at oklahoma public library, is the thing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: because totally, history never happened, started over because "new" world.
mircea_popescu: and ~now~they go about like fucking morons, re-doing the 16th century german peasant movements.
mircea_popescu: when a decade later the american germans revolted against europe they called it "england" for no fucking reason whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: the dutch bought, moved over, started "new england". gave the same "english" crown their new world possessions.
mircea_popescu: ch get slaves to make ~and especially man~ ships cheaply.
mircea_popescu: consider the illustrative example of how the germans inhabiting north america ended up thinking they're "english" : the english were losing badly their war with the dutch, at the time the republic. so they decided -- the elite, that is -- to make the dutch an offer they couldn't refuse : behead the (catholic) king, import william, prince of orange-nassau as the new english king. thereby england gets a ruling class and the dut
mircea_popescu: this goes directly to my problem with chinese -- english is pretty much the closest thing to chinese known to white man.
mircea_popescu: which is why i say, makes 0 fucking sense to have translated the torah.
mircea_popescu: certainly. which is why selection is important and meaningful. in latin. not so in english.
mircea_popescu: english is ~thin~. it retain nothing. moron can say same words and gain ~nothing~ thereby.
mircea_popescu: because that's the fucking problem with english, it can not ~carry~. human languages have this property, that they retain in their own thick fibers, particles of the wisdom of speakers, to bestow them on the dumb neat round heads of repeaters.
mircea_popescu: and it ~is~ in english. but it is not the english of Jamie McMoron, slightly overweight ex-mechanic turned "pastor" in Michigan.
mircea_popescu: THAT half liner summarizes ~correctly~ the whole fucking nine paragraph thing i ended up stuck putting in above.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform moreover it makes a fucking difference WHO speaks english. which is a readily lost point. there's an episode in seinfeld (when george converts to "latvian" orthodoxy) including a soundbyte from old jewish woman with strong yidish accent, "when you die, you die. you don't go anywhere."
mircea_popescu: all the pretense of imperial brits aside, trying to build themselves an alt-english out of hammer-whacked chunks of latin and greek. because guess what, nobody today speaks 1770-level cultivated english. and certainly nobody among the self-help ikea-brand of "preachers" in the intellectually arid center of our colonies in the new world.
mircea_popescu: and let it be said, translating the torah ~in english~ was a fucking stupid idea. english is not a language that can ~carry~ such things.
mircea_popescu: (and yes, /me also tuned out just about when the quotes started. for one thing because i couldn't give less of a shit about the english version of jewish texts, i can read the originals and i can't stand anglotardation)
mircea_popescu: and it so happens that god wank scores right there with "commercial communication" aka spam (another trope of fiction) on the scale of republican appreciation of fiction.
mircea_popescu: that's 1 trope, 2 fiction, 3 imagination, 4 noise, 5 phenomena. FIVE nodes down from the top node of all things, "the world".
mircea_popescu: god is ~just another trope~. like "the voyage", like "the teenage witch", like "vampires" or "magic horses" or "the island of buyan", god is just another trope. tropes are common places of fiction. fiction is a product of imagination. imagination is mildly-restrained psychogenic noise, which is a class of noise, like wetware thought or like fg output. which are phenomena, which is one half of the world (the other half being o
mircea_popescu: obviously the (male) teenager's temptation is to imagine his stupid shit is "above". but this is his problem, not his "intuition" or "wisdom" or w/e the fuck.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing BEYOND the world. the things claimed to be so are always and without exception ~inferior~ not superior in the tree of things. one's fantasies of self-realisation, be they wet dreams about little miss rottencrotch two chairs down in chem class or "the rapture", are just so much teenage wank. it dun matter if the teenager's name is moses or daniel, their wank is not "above the world". it's part of the world, and
mircea_popescu: and, while at it : the aferations of "metaphysics", specifically regarding the matter in terms of "oh, mp is so lost in the world he can't see the things beyond the world" is so much infantile aferant bullshit. be it "robo-hitlers" or "gods" or whatever other nonsense, the important property of things "beyond" the world and "above" the world and "after" the world and "ultimate" and so on is that they are not.
mircea_popescu: the exact same thing applies universally and throiughout. the world works a certain way, and it will continue to do so. if you build a blog on the strength of being interesting, you will destroy it with crap ; and if you build a reputation on being sane, you will destroy it with insanity. and so on. at no point is your "conviction" at issue (nor is it interesting, nor important). what's at issue is ~reality~, and reality does
☟︎ mircea_popescu: d in the process his life and himself. because no, as tempting as the theory is, humans can't generally manage to destroy their reputations but survive in body or mind.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-18#1881342 << this, for the record, is exactly how things go. one can build himself a reputation as a director, on the strength (on the ~strength~!!!) of shit like pulp fiction, or reservoir dogs, or w/e the hell. but if the one then continues in the vein of bullshit, directing animation and whatnever kill bill nonsense, uma thurman's deformed toes, that someone will ~destroy~ his reputation, an
☝︎ mircea_popescu: this thing looks exactrly like argentina "comicon". bunch of braindead orcs, wtf.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron do you have a bunch of readers interested in the quotes you figure, or what's the thinking ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other dubious news, i see some old versions of prb stuck on block 551110
mircea_popescu: fortunately they speak uncharacteristically roman (ie, clean) italian for the period.
mircea_popescu: and let me underscore, the original dialogues are pure poetry, watching it dubbed or trusting subtitles is like reading bowdler's shakespeare.
mircea_popescu: put it on top, it's one of the few masterpieces of that aspiring art.
mircea_popescu: superb film, the wife's an archetype. "me sono cascata anche io...", golden words.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in my experience, never wants, sometimes grudgingly has to because morons.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo : "morningRebel 18F Switch Pest, Hungary orientation: Pansexual active: Curious And Want To Try is looking for: A mentor/teacherFriendshipA MasterA Mistress" original blurb bot recorded.
mircea_popescu: attempts to fashion one, (out of the powers of imagination, of course), is what ultimately distinguish the west and the east franks.
mircea_popescu: did i recount the lulzy story of female waterbugs having developed a cunt shield, and so male waterbugs holdsing them on water close to frogs and jumping ?
mircea_popescu: because if it didn't, you understand, we'd have the problems of waterbugs
mircea_popescu: well so then. she can be as smart as you wish, a cunt she's still got, and that hole in the body comes with a hole in the mind.
mircea_popescu: "nobody will profer negative judgements on you without your permission"
