mircea_popescu: last i heard about a third of the kids pointedly wore army surpluss stuff.

mircea_popescu: not quite as fresh as a few years ago, and so on and on.

mircea_popescu: nobody ever won a war by killing the "high command".

mircea_popescu: i'm sure they'll make you whole, but if they don't you certainly can get a lawyer and sue them personally and u of maryland for joint and serveral liability.

mircea_popescu: that's your opening, srsly. "hey, I got your email off the cryptome leak thing. wanna go for a cup of coffee ?"

mircea_popescu: "we are observing the scene and waiting . you are not anonymous . expect us ." << notice a change ?

mircea_popescu: "there used to be such a thing as intestinal transit. sadly that ended one day some dude from paris, wisconsin didn't wipe his ass properly."

mircea_popescu: there is only one possible end game, and that is a thermodynamic constraint. otherwise, what fucking end game. some people will be slaves and some people will be stuck with the broadly unappealing job of herding them.

mircea_popescu: not bad, but also a show stopper.

mircea_popescu: derps never went to fucking school already. here's a little secret : the DEFINITION of a recessive gene is "the gene which never dies out"

mircea_popescu: on the other hand, the number of black dudes inadequate about their penis ("it's only six and a half inches!!!") far exceedes the number of white dudes so worried (its like four dude.)

mircea_popescu: a people that was principally known for excewllent house servants a century ago is now suddenly and magically turned into this mythological black beast of southern yore ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imagine for a second if you will, how utterly it must suck to be one of the paki betas. which yes, all groups have in the same proportion everywhere, and what's more

mircea_popescu: i think by now it takes about a dozen englishmen to screw in the lightbulb so to speak.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mircea_popescu doesn't give a shit about that.

mircea_popescu remembers the days last decade when apple was making money by including a two inch cable for chargers and selling a normal length one.

mircea_popescu: i would guess their costs balooned unexpectedly after they had the marketing discussion and fixed a price point

mircea_popescu: if a car costs more to make than it retails for, it costs more to make than it should by about 50%. you think volksvagen spends 20k to make a car they sell for 30 ? they don't.

mircea_popescu: so what's the idea, "i'm making a loss on every sale but hope to make it up on volume" ?

mircea_popescu: because yeah, doubling down against mp ever fucking worked. so maryland uni really wants to "win" at internets, right ? digs itself deeper, alf thinks hey, they're home free. i say it won't last, he says nothing ever lasts, we're at a standoff.

mircea_popescu: in fact im pretty sure he's just doing a stewart repackaging, but with more "support the government!" spam in it.

mircea_popescu: how's that for a "basics of relationships" guide.

mircea_popescu: of a girlfriend of hers rather than a man she'll tell you.

mircea_popescu: whereas if you do not, she ~might~, maybe, manage to maintain superior brain function control over the rest of herself, and be some sort of a first approximation of the above. maybe. or maybe she won't, and go seek to be assuaged in the arms of other men, more inclined to provide the need - for it is a need. the surogates may work or not, but generally dont, and you'll know about it because if she thinks you're enough

mircea_popescu: and in all this rests a lesson for practical everyday use, too. if you are actually man enough to let your girl know you'll beat the shit out of her if need be, which you generally won't even need to do after an initial stage of infantile testing of the theory as proposed, she'll be the most loving, loyal and internally happy woman that she could ever be.

mircea_popescu: that's the discussion. there is not now, nor was ever, nor will ever be invented a manner, stratagem or device to circumvent activity, or to make the passive on par with the active.

mircea_popescu: offered the simple choice of A. stick with the alleged representatives of the schmucks that trade pictures of your rape and jack off in "online anonymity" and joining the raping party, she chooses to join the raping party.

mircea_popescu: the alternative, where he texts a chick "hey, we got our sister, we're torturing her, come join" just as the chick in question was giving testimony to the supposed government of the uk - a more illegitimate contrivance never having been known to man, incidentally, they have all the legitimacy to govern kim jong il's favourite dog does.

mircea_popescu: this is the whole thing. what'd you tell a guy who wants to rape twelve year olds ? that it's bad ? he did not ask you that. and you can tell him to you know, wait around on social media untill the cute teenie across the street douses herself in gasoline and invites him over.

mircea_popescu: some people, for reasons nobody really grasps in spite of trying for millenia (yes, it's a thing since forever) and in spite of having maybe some decent theories, want to fuck twelve year olds.

mircea_popescu: we should be in a syncronised swimming team ben_vulpes

mircea_popescu: anyway, i suppose this is when we say that the log is both free and good reading and call it a day.

mircea_popescu: you know what's also fascinating in the same vein asciilifeform ? not everyone's courting the most beautiful girl in town! in a frictionless infospace they would! nevertheless...

mircea_popescu: expect a millenium of actual slavery for the plebs and not be disappointed by the events.

mircea_popescu: well because for a moment the slave thing and a previous comment sort-of made it look possible that you were 15

mircea_popescu: when hiring a psychic, always hire the cheapest.

mircea_popescu: in any case, there's no rescuing the poor (and it's a morally dubious proposition to even try). let instead those of the poor that are there undeservedly claw their way out. over many generations of belaboured effort, ideally.

mircea_popescu: without copyrights, intellectual ghetto is a certainty.

mircea_popescu: onlooker understand something : you got no leg into the world of ideas. i'm simply not sharing. copyright is there to give you a (slight) chance, nothing else.
