mircea_popescu: egyptians are entirely fucking stupid. yet they taught us to make maps ?
mircea_popescu: now : africa was inhabited long before europe. and here we come upon the worrying fact of the matter : italians today are the dumbest shitheads conceivable, below the gypsies really. but... why ?
mircea_popescu: it's the culture ; not the genes.
mircea_popescu: watch girly that'd be a fine intellect believe "metaphysics" is dumbass pulp nonsense. why ? because her mom's a wizard don't you know, and her grandmother was a faith healer.
asciilifeform: re anything other than gurl meat ?!
mircea_popescu: the reason africans unerperform is that african culture is idiotic. it is.
mircea_popescu: the REASON, however, is not that africans have shittier genes. i was able to verify their genes are just fine, with my dick. african genes make tall, pretty girls that fuck just as fine as white girls. and they even have better asses on average.
mircea_popescu: looky here : it is very true that an african is going to perform worse than a caucasian. i have, like everyone, had ample opportunity to verify this fact, either through literature review over dead africans or work evaluation over live ones.
mircea_popescu: what was i doing during all this ? playing tables ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mno, the 8999 other, less long-lived mircea_popescus, made.
mircea_popescu: mp, the product of his mom and dad and the kids in school and stuff on the tv!
mircea_popescu: what, you think a bunch of anodyne dorks made me, what is this.
mircea_popescu: suppose they hadn't.
asciilifeform: well suppose they hadn't.
asciilifeform: other than 'the other kidz in class worshipped me'
mircea_popescu: isn't it thought!
phf: funny how lack of agency works: "mp: look at me do all the things you think is impossible! others: mp is so great, he can do things nobody else can!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oslo to ulaan-batoor, bus to goat-town, 3rd on left.
BingoBoingo: Or lawnmower, or toyota
mircea_popescu was never worried about the "parachute" "sikrit agents". the only ones who were ever dangerous were the bus riding sort.
mircea_popescu: i thought you just got there by bus, like normal people.
asciilifeform: this #includes various skills that most folx dun have.
mircea_popescu: what lack of options ? TODAY, any such "slave" could readily http://trilema.com/2017/the-universal-plan-for-wealth/#comment-122304
mircea_popescu: well no, mp was never fucked in the head.
asciilifeform: afaik mircea_popescu never once in entire life experienced anything like the garden variety lack of options of even a typical 1st world slave
mircea_popescu: because it's my life, not the processing of my wife and her children and my favourite tv shows and my parking lot and my red stapler. ffs.
mircea_popescu: and in the same vein my life is perfectly fine with or without anything.
asciilifeform: it ain't the goats
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, I do not believe ~MY~ life would not be worth living because of the god damned goats, in presence or absence.
mircea_popescu: well, i had them in egypt. but obviously any finite house wiull not contain all infinities the mind can conjure up. no room.
asciilifeform: ( or are they new ? )
mircea_popescu: really, life with the goats not worth living ? says who the fuck ?
mircea_popescu: this is the point of all magic act : not to "disappear", but to replace. naggum's idiocy is in having bought the sleigh of hand, whereby "life not worth living" was switrched for life, AND VICE VERSA.
asciilifeform: it's a type of slow death
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: life with goats in goatfuckistan is not -- to naggum, evidently, and just the same to asciilifeform -- life ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but the fact that they aren't what they preach doesn't mean the thing they preach being isn't there.
asciilifeform: lulzily this is rather like what the socialists preach -- 'we are like your gut bacteria, there For Your Own Good, and it ain't robbery' neh
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nevermind the theory. guy could have fucking hopped in a plan to ulaan baator and be raising his own goats within a fortnight.
mircea_popescu: but yes, you will not live to not be robbed, seeing how gut disinfection ~= death.
mod6: if they can they must
mircea_popescu: hey, i got robbed earlier, these tiny ants on my balcony ate a sliver of tuna.
asciilifeform for instance does not expect to ever live to not be robbed
mircea_popescu: you know, the idiot is not the liar, but the believer.
asciilifeform: can be arbitrarily 'functional mind' and arbitrarily poor, when pantsuits rob you of even the notion that there is such a thing as not being robbed
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the loss adversity of the poor does not go well with an otherwise functional mind such as naggum displays.
asciilifeform: aahahalol, 2 settings on the dial nao, ' mircea_popescu ' and ' stupidity '
asciilifeform: most folx are poor as church mice and extremely -- and thereby -- loss-averse
mircea_popescu: yet the notion that "only option" is MORE batshit.
asciilifeform: can debate forever who has what options. but the notion that everyone has every option, is batshit.
mircea_popescu: cock is so made to fit most holes.
mircea_popescu: wtf is this post-victorian romanticistic bullshit.
mircea_popescu: similarily, i have had women, of many kinds and types and speaking various languages and on and on. but not huxley. he, cursed, ONLY ONE! and if she was a dumb slut -- he, therefore, convicted.
asciilifeform: ( he was there for ~7y and right up to bush-II election )
mircea_popescu: i taught briefly ; and went away. and was romanian and left. and so on and so forth, dozens of different "Beings". but this is just my blessing as mp ; poor unfortunate naggum has been so cursed, as to only have two options.
asciilifeform: iirc he tried being an american engineer
BingoBoingo: Well, Norway is right next to hell
mircea_popescu: it's unclear to me this is how it goes. the two options are "norway -- hell" ? really ?
a111: Logged on 2017-07-31 19:18 mircea_popescu: at some point you're going to choke if you aspirate just one god damned single further corpuscle of calcium carbionate ; and you are going to strangle the next pubescent dicklet who imagines he invented novel problems and solutions through tracing the biological trace. THAT is when it's time to drop them all and go away.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-31#1691361 << observe that naggum did in fact go-away... ☝︎
BingoBoingo: In other news, Trump's latest communications adviser has served his purpose, being replaced

mircea_popescu: none of this by-seat-of-pants adhockery.
mircea_popescu: or at least have a plan! "i;m not taking a shit now because i will THEN, and i have in point of fact checked and the plan is sound"
trinque: gotta also know how to operate the meat robot your brain's sitting in, which involves taking a shit regularly, etc
trinque: reminds me of the thread re: whether intelligent folks can be said to be intelligent if they can't translate themselves to moron.
mircea_popescu: at some point you're going to choke if you aspirate just one god damned single further corpuscle of calcium carbionate ; and you are going to strangle the next pubescent dicklet who imagines he invented novel problems and solutions through tracing the biological trace. THAT is when it's time to drop them all and go away. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: NEVERTHELESS. the voice of nature is to be silenced in school, not forevermore. not in life.
mircea_popescu: tree with the nude sluts".
mircea_popescu: i can appreciate that the only way they even got this far, having read all those books they had to read to be able to discuss something interesting in science today, as opposed to 1700 ; and all the time doing definitionally boring shit in the lab (because it's NOT "i can't recall what the solvent was" it is therefore boring!) is by subduing the natural voice saying "fuck this shit, let's go roll in the grass under the apple
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the problem here is the reverse : "my eyes will jump out of my head if they have to read a single other page of this rothbard ; best i stop that and go build eye cages"
mircea_popescu: this naggum piece is an absolutely fine diagnosis of the whole "needs creation" usgistani "marketing" thing. "raise awareness" "educate the public", etc
mod6: 'boiling the shadow of a pigeon starved to death' << heh
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's his point.
mircea_popescu: dude was so fucking smart he managed to not notice he had ulcer. possibly the most painful condition available.
asciilifeform: and incidentally almost certainly died from the anti-inflammatories he self-medicated with
mircea_popescu: he is recognizable expert on topic.
asciilifeform: it's in the buried usenet archives, in the bunkers!11
mircea_popescu: darn. i'd have liked to read naggum on this.
asciilifeform: !#s tooth licking
mircea_popescu: it's a horrid abuse of intelligence, to use it to dumb self to own body.
asciilifeform: the blue collar folx do moar 'ups' and 'downs' than antihistamines
mircea_popescu: no, moar "this place is shit" than anything.
asciilifeform: moar psycho than allergy
mircea_popescu: i've not seen the "system designer's allergy" in anyone but.
asciilifeform: the 'blue collar' folx -- now very very medicated. as documented by tlp.
asciilifeform: it is not the case that they do not
mircea_popescu: the fact that blue collar / orcs do not get the same problems is a clear indication of their non-medical nature.
mircea_popescu: i mean specifically this "doctor doesn't understand my allergies and i have this one blanky that works" attitude. it's very common, and the point is : it is very common in a) intelligent people of a technical inclination b) working in shitistans.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: as you know, 80 (90?) % of swamp inhabitants, 'medicated' << For very good reason. Shifts blame from lizards to their diseases.
mircea_popescu did not take nor personally intends to take EITHER the ayahuasca OR the cough drops. and for the same fucking reasons.
BingoBoingo: loratidine never tested better than placedo at approved dose, work only above approved dose, but then side effects...
mircea_popescu: and get the fuck out of dodge.
mircea_popescu: without prejudice to extant practice : people who are willing to slowly suicide in the swamp will sometimes develop psycho-somatic reactions to the indignity. they tend to medicate them, through a trial-and-error approach, which is half bad luck and half placebo effect, instead of taking long hard look at why the fuck their eyes water every time they have to behold another instance of the same stable of idiots
asciilifeform: ( if this worked, 'drinking morarji-cola' would be a pharma-active practice )
BingoBoingo: desloratadine is a patent extender, so gotta raep the Obamacare piggy while they can
asciilifeform: phf: what's the win from this vs original ?
phf: asciilifeform: desloratadine is a loratadine metabolite, it's not over the counter
BingoBoingo: Anyways the one class of drugs which is relatively safe mixed with MAOIs is... AMPHETAMINES!
BingoBoingo: Pointing out the confusion comes from being lumped into class of "cold medicines"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Often packaged together "loratidine D" is loratadine + pseudoephedrine, behind counter
