mircea_popescu: i have nfi idea who even entertains the nonsense of the "internet trader" mind, but it's beyond fucking ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron> would it help if there weren't any expectation of speedy order matching? I don't really care about sniping so much as setting long term orders and letting it sit for a while << kinda the entite fucking point of a broker in the first place.
mircea_popescu: the fellow is quite intelligent - his point about nature not being deceptive is especially cogent.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the third person in the monty python sketch was whistler. "I shall be born when and where I want, and I do not choose to be born in Lowell." whistler.
mircea_popescu: much more than horse. for one thing, horse loves people.
mircea_popescu: think bronco busting, and then think camel is roughly 2x the size.
mircea_popescu: a dream, no matter how shared, is not a thing, nor could be a thing, and so does not matter to any actual thing.
mircea_popescu: (ftr, the camel is not native to africa. was introduced, with an effect similar to the introduction of metalworking in europe)
mircea_popescu: but anyway, one of the few and far between actual cultures in africa.
mircea_popescu: ghana is more relevant to any discussion than the united states.
mircea_popescu: for the record, the us is an example of nothing and a measuring stick for nothing,
mircea_popescu: actuaries could sink any firm, and nobody'd notice until after they did it - seen this one play out time and again on ws ever since the gaus copula bs\
mircea_popescu: most of civilisation is built on trusted work by various people. who do you think reads most doctors' reports ?
mircea_popescu: everybody has the same cheapo chinese 50cent crap they're trying to sell for 20 bux.
mircea_popescu: in other "life sucks" news, i've been trying to buy a red lacquered fine leather ball gag for the past fucking week. this country thinks itself a masterful leather manufacturer, NOBODY has it.
mircea_popescu: i am, and for years have been, destroying the usg through everett's device.
mircea_popescu: choices have consequences for everyone. the "mere mortals" care about consequences.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know the monty python "there are two kinds of people" sketch ?
mircea_popescu: no but seriously... spend some time doing SOMETHING OTHER than what you're doing ? dude, if i thought this is a good idea... i would just stop doing what i;m doing. that day. forever. wtf.
mircea_popescu: i suspect every youthful generation's conviction the previous people are dumb and generally suck has a lot to do with this.
mircea_popescu: well... i guess. more akin to "boy sees no use for veggies, they're getting in the way of cake"
mircea_popescu: yeah i dunno why you'd be walking with weighs, big calves aren't particularly in demand.
mircea_popescu: not what i meant. depends on what variant one entertains etc, but there is such a thing where the slave's the slave throughout the day, do what she may.
mircea_popescu: if shown a cheesecake picture, they DO in fact imagine that the woman looks like that from dawn to dusk, while shitting, etc.
mircea_popescu: ~exactly~ this. and very much don't want to think otherwise, either.
mircea_popescu: i suppose if we must have an aesop, someone who wasn';t ever gavin might imagine things about how being gavin is.
mircea_popescu: you know, people who never kept slavegirls could conceivably dream up this alt-reality where slave girls go like this.
mircea_popescu: it has the unmistakable immaturity of virginal youth, unaware that pegs are round, holes are square.
mircea_popescu: it is very mujch a boschian thing, specifically because of this tension.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside the cramped environment : yes, woman can be made to do either. but it wouldn't be fucking sleep or fucking work. it'd be THIS. and this is not life, this is THIS.
mircea_popescu: but the idea is see, he's hanging out, the mistress sleeping (as if any woman sleeps in garter belt and high heels) and the slave doing doing houseworkl
mircea_popescu: ah ah. but i was discussing recreational whipping not educational whipping.
mircea_popescu: the idea is! that the picture there linked is trying to mesh two unmeshable things. notice the dude is all like "business as usual, whatever". whereas in fact, it's nothing but!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't believe in externalities. so, no.
mircea_popescu: "In a rare bid for sanity, the Harford County School District had cancelled all field trips for students into Baltimore, as it is clearly an unsafe environment. The mulattress mayor [the same whore who let the city burn and then requested that 1,000 Somali refugees be settled in Baltimore] was outraged. Phone calls were made, and the school authorities waffled, and will now be sending their children into harm's way, wh
mircea_popescu: anyway. maximal density is the killer. yes, obedient slave takes whipping. there's a maximal % of her time she can spend being whipped.
mircea_popescu: well no, it's unrelated. hence the "infinitely more interesting news"
mircea_popescu: you have a maximal puppy density that allows the biomass in question to stay puppy-shaped
mircea_popescu: what do you mean how. yes all puppies eventually die, but that's not what we're talking about.
mircea_popescu: sure, but that's a consideration on a different timescale.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, on the other hand the theoretical structure of the relationship is exactly opposite to this reality.
mircea_popescu: to explain : on one hand the slave is put in circumstances (be it clothing, or accoutrements, or whatnot) that make it the focus of attention, necessarily. you can't do most of those things permanently, as a thing. to understand why, imagine you'd make a silo full of puppies. how long before it is a silo full of rotting meat ?
mircea_popescu: just like any teenaged slut in argentina that i stick my cock into for the time being ?
