mircea_popescu: japan is certainly reserved case of non-white white men. toyota 1970s takeover of auto industry imo even better example than their (certainly present, and certainly respectable 1880-1920 marine innovations)
mircea_popescu: and more generally, this "if birds were clouds, there'd be winds of shit" type of argument in insescapable.
mircea_popescu: whereas recall your cries of "chinese own ... windows fab stack" ? well ?
mircea_popescu: russkis understood what it is they;'re copying and why. chinese -- neve rdid. in this sense, chinese copied nuke like russians copied ics.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: then ~group~ of wanna-be german rus' tribe copied the item. AS A GROUP.
mircea_popescu: see, here's how it is : two white man tribes, consisting of "the germans that stayed home" and "the germans that went over ocean" finally got together and built nuke, at the time highest mankind achievement.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure there's 500000 teenaged boys all over nation of africa having "alt mp". heck, nicoleci found one.
mircea_popescu: i am not talking "Bee nuke". i am talking nuke, the actual physical item as reality permits.
mircea_popescu: even if not necessarily found out by interrogating ant.
mircea_popescu: but these'd not be sirens. see, this is the problem, we're not talking "lone mystical creature". if ants had nuclear weapons, ants or no ants we'd have found out by now.
mircea_popescu: seems to be an alternative theory pretty badly handicapped by available data/experience.
mircea_popescu: "it's not nuclear force, it's phlogiston i'm telling you" ?
mircea_popescu: isn't this by now a sort of "evolution never happened" ?
mircea_popescu: none of these 50x population feel pete_d-like enough to come here and daze us with their stolen fare ?
mircea_popescu: and by "a guy" i mean a whole community on a forum somewhere.
mircea_popescu: yet there WAS a guy translating trilema for his chinese friends
mircea_popescu: and what's the eggcartons made out of, that they stapled to their walls, so we don't hear the trills ?
mircea_popescu could certainly be wrong ; but it certainly couldn't be the case that i'd be wrong in such a way "as nobody could ever know".
mircea_popescu: seems to me they're mining our coin. just like before.
mircea_popescu: if you'd be right, we'd have discovered a #trilema not twice the size (as yellow man pop vs white man pop) but >20 times the size (because hey, efficiency, yes ?). and by size i do not mean headcount.
mircea_popescu: yes. but montezuma has no idea what he's talking about.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in exactly the sense snow you piss on "is pretty good at copying the color while discarding the wetness".
mircea_popescu: it becomes a success when "the iron! my god, the iron!" say the locals upon beholding the franks.
mircea_popescu: a large, bureaucratic state existed before -- incas had it too. it is not a success just because it gets a lot of cows to be docile.
mircea_popescu: china exists briefly today for copying white man culture.
mircea_popescu: the merits don't matter, the problem is that literally, there.is.nothing.else.possible.
mircea_popescu: and in this sense, the opponents of multiculturalism are deeply fucktarded (as the proponents see them) in attempting to argue the merits.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile multiculturalism failed not on the merits of the idea, but because there is no iron whatsoever to be had. it's either white man culture or stupidity highway.
mircea_popescu: ie, industrialization worked because it's a good idea ~and also~ because there was coal AND iron available superficially. and where the latter not satisfied, such as aztec empire, not worked.
mircea_popescu: specifically, the ~notion~, bereft of any meat, as a skeletal abstraction only, that "mixing improves overal outcomes" ran into the reality that the only available alternative to white man's culture is nation-of-africa powered militant idiocy.
mircea_popescu: i am by now well persuaded that this is a place where it ~didn't~ happen.
mircea_popescu: mulatto chicks as a fenotype provide the members of the remarkable stupid chick group almost exclusively.
mircea_popescu: if it's not evident by now, there's pretty strong statistical correlation between loud, outspoken, militant idiocy and skin tone.
mircea_popescu: many of such exist. hence caciocavallo caves and so on.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman hey, if you don't ask one million morons "how about you..." ...
mircea_popescu: (yes, i'm kinda fishing for someone to go "it's 13 x 17 and you know, you're cheating by picking these, illustrating human stupidity not objective hardness".)
mircea_popescu: it's just disproportionately hard. psychological benefit, what can you do.
mircea_popescu: so they spend most of the time trying to fit 11 into it, then they lose it.
mircea_popescu: 13 is for some reason hard, and 221 encodes "eleven-ness" which meshes with "intelligent" people's dyslexia.
mircea_popescu: fwiw, /me has settled on 221 as the perfect number to build "what is asym crypto" around. experimentally, NOBODY knows it's 13 * 17 nor manages to find out.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman honestly, the summary very acceptable, detailed and so on. just, you're missing out on a possible fanbase!
mircea_popescu: diana_coman anyway, sounds like it worked pretty well, good for you.
mircea_popescu: i can be heard just fine in 500 hall. and hallway. ha-HA!
mircea_popescu: 2000s went away, to be replaced by 2010s and soon enough 2020s.
mircea_popescu: england is ever more impressing in its somali quality.
mircea_popescu: could also get yourself a hat put one of those car cameras on it.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how into this you are, but if you like it might as well gear up.
mircea_popescu: can get those too, ten bux or so, with a wireless connection.
mircea_popescu: yeah but i mean, even half decent mic can capture a room.
mircea_popescu: i usually get kinda ok ones. or got, before moving on to live dactilographist before moving on to not doing these anymore.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman "Since there is no recording of the talk" << this is kinda unfortunate. just leave a laptop with the mic going behind, you know ?
mircea_popescu: and paduche la paduche trage, because they never went to school, never heard of charge, weak nuclear force, etc.
mircea_popescu: positive and negative ENERGY, because it's not a scalar anymore.
mircea_popescu: "In the New Thought philosophy, the Law of Attraction is the belief that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, people can bring positive or negative experiences into their life.[1][2] The belief is based on the idea that people and their thoughts are both made from pure energy, and that through the process of like energy attracting like energy a person can improve their own health, wealth, and personal relationships. "
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cca 2005ish packaging of the pantsuit/usgtard ideas on magic. nth rehash of the "if you think something really really hard it will be".
mircea_popescu: but whatever, some people manage the cern datahose, some people count the packing peanuts, it's all numbers right.
