gabriel_laddel: I see.

gabriel_laddel: the machines in the shop roar so wildly / that i often forget in the roar that I am ; / i am lost in the terrible tumult, / my ego disappears, i am a machine. / i work, and work and word without end; / i am busy, and busy and busy all the time. / for what? and for whom? I know not, I ask not! / how should a machine ever come to think?

gabriel_laddel I'll note that I hate the perspective of the author in that book but liked the information he had to present.

gabriel_laddel: nubbins`: the language doesn't help. For example, a chinese mathematics undergrad from Peking U. I know thought that using a computer algebra system to do mathematics was "cheating".

gabriel_laddel: all these "right wing" "conservitive" organizations or whatever are pathetic. I was looking into e.g., the golden dawn earlier tonight...

gabriel_laddel: What I find so lulzy about the whole situation is that if you take the supposed Zionist lit and the /pol/ people 100% seriously it basically reduces to "jews think that others are cattle" ☟︎

gabriel_laddel: See I told you.

gabriel_laddel: "until 23andme suggested i was a traitor to the cause"

gabriel_laddel: I'm surprised that methheads have bugs crawl out of their arms rather than jews.

gabriel_laddel: "I have a new favorite douchebag profile pic: Enthralling My Fucking Audience. This one is phenomenal; you’ve probably seen it somewhere amongst your fucking friends. It’s where a Very Important Dbag (VIDb) is captivating above-mentioned audience solely through the power of his personal presence. Jesus Christ, the fucking hubris.

gabriel_laddel: Note that I dont necessarily endorse MP's viewpoint but it is rather well developed. ☟︎

gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform, mircea_popescu: If people were to take issue with this perhaps I'm missing information (and thus need to learn xyz). I'm going to do as I please either way, but prefer to be accurate.
