mircea_popescu: consequently, boys gotta be boys lest they break down the walls. and that was that for anglo culture.
mircea_popescu: change, objective and unyielding, of the wheel coming cycle and the up being now down and the shoe on the other foot, "the elders" sat and thought for a half second and decided between boys and walls they'd rather have the walls.
mircea_popescu: it's a matter of columnae lucum, whereby ~THIS~, and this and only this and this only is the epitome, and everyone around is closer or further to that epitome, and at the outskirts it becomes unclear if there's even a relation at all or not.
mircea_popescu: anyway, but the important point can't be overstated enough. it's not a matter of terra-ad-limine, whereby the county is from this limit to that limit to that other limit, and as long as you're not past the limits therefore you're inside and thereby anjie is "in tech" (hey, you can't prove she's out, right ? therefore she;s in ?) and also thereby
http://trilema.com/2012/generatia-fara/#selection-145.61-145.72 stands as a party
mircea_popescu: "why does he ?" "because maybe they're doing it right, and that's fucking binding, on the entire world."
mircea_popescu: and that's yet another fine example, see ? french men go to louisiana, produce us south a century later. dutch men go to transvaal, produce south africa a century later.
mircea_popescu: circero's certainly was, man had the diseased of comfortable middle class men.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: that there's a bunch of moronic kids over at hot topic in the mall doing "the industry" of things men do... what the fuck of it ?
mircea_popescu: it was proposed he was a fucking farmer, in the proper and only sense, like fucking carlyle. farming is a thing BECAUSE cincinnatus farfmed, and bdsm is a thing because MP bdsm's.
mircea_popescu: your whole argument is essentially seinfeld's "oh, my parents having sex... i dunno... i haven't seen it... as far as i know they could maybe be just really, REALLY good friends!"
mircea_popescu: history doesn't exist because grandchildren wanked it in the bed at night ; history exists because grandfathers fucked grandmothers.
mircea_popescu: people do things, that's why there's a history in the first place.
mircea_popescu: diogenes pushed his tub, cincinnatus ploughed his field, i... i dunno, took weird pictures of myself put them on trilema.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what yo umean by quasi. am i quasi-mythical figure ?
mircea_popescu: sounds exactly like 1700s pennsylvania. and the reason it does is because it is.
mircea_popescu: no, i believe the story is factual. man was out ploughing, with own two hands, senate legati came to talk to him, asked him to go put his toga on.
mircea_popescu: all latin classicity bemoans the loss of agricultural tradition, their hightly regarded source of intelligence and manliness.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not originally. the might as well as the power of the republic was ~entirely~ agricultural. cincinnatus is not famous for "turning down the purple", but for ~turning down the purple to go back to ploughing."!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not really. the romans were agricultural folk, just as much as the alwa or the indians making wootz steel.
mircea_popescu: and hence "Pangloss was professor of metaphysico-theologico-cosmolo-nigology. He proved admirably that there is no effect without a cause, and that, in this best of all possible worlds, the Baron's castle was the most magnificent of castles, and his lady the best of all possible Baronesses."
mircea_popescu: it's not agriculture per se. it's not the land, it's that the land both fosters and nurtures a certain mindset among those troding upon it. too much "all is well" and way the fuck too much "nothing could ever change" and so on. hence, "my mom's just as good a master as could ever be had!" and hence
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-12#1871537 : in rural environs kids too dumb to find their own fucking holes on their own fucking
☝︎ mircea_popescu: the reason "all good things flow to the city" is, and for 3k years has been, "i'd rather hang out with thieves than with farmers holy shit you lot are moronic. really, go to bed at 5pm ?"
mircea_popescu: precisely. but it is not ~with agriculture~. it's with... the people involved in agriculture!
mircea_popescu: (a matter little discussed in the abundant "literature" was the implicit brain drain southern economy imposed on southern us. ie, intelligent boys in the newyork-london sphere migrated rather towards new york (hence all the jews, at the time monopolists of intelligence, hence the hatred but different line all that) ; whereas intelligent kids on the st louis-paris line migrated rather to paris. because nothing the fuck to do i
mircea_popescu: fact of the matter is i need 1800s style southern us slaves like i need genital warts.
mircea_popescu: i make a lot of noise about dungeons and chains and whips and etc ; but it is a kind of a society game. i am not prepared, neither mentally nor for that matter materially, to ~actually~ apply all that. because yes, the convertor exists, kidnap among the moronic 3bn, but i mean literally, not play-pretendingly, self-delivered "kidnaps", and then torture them into being enslaved orcs rather than plain orcs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, it's latino "culture" so to speak, tho it has entirely nothing to do with culture, much like "they fuck mud with sticks all day" isn't "african industry", it's just african nothing.
mircea_popescu: every civilised female has the same reaction, utter disbelief, "omfg i'd have been too ashamed to do this at 15"
mircea_popescu: do you realise girls here are ~so fucking moronic~ they will hang out with their mothers IN THEIR TWENTIES ?
mircea_popescu: "hey fellow africans, i wonder what those strange forms in the mists across the ocean might be" "that's just the way the horizon's painted, brother joshuah"
mircea_popescu: so much of the very same, but much of it nevertheless!
mircea_popescu: there's a whole wide world out there, chitlins, and it has SO MUCH TO OFFER!!!
mircea_popescu: PrincessVH "It's due to the fact that your title of the message has been cut in half and the only part that is readable is "How about you drop whatever it is you're d..."" LordMPofTMSR "Intelligence is specifically this (seemingly "magical") ability to find one's way out of a paper bag."
mircea_popescu: meanwhile at the lulz farms, PrincessVH 25F Princess "Not kidding about what?" LordMPofTMSR "Not the sharpest tool in the shed, I take it."
mircea_popescu: and in other news, got a shipment of sprats. old riga, including pronouncements as to how kosher they are, in hebrew on the side.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hence the "made in america" comment. the america of africa, as much an america as any other america rite.
mircea_popescu: what, specifically, is the tag supposed to convey ? cuz it sure as fuck doesn't seem to be "we'll randomly change abis because why the fuck not, windowns power!"
mircea_popescu: fuck you stallman, your "gnu" is as meaningful as "made in america"
mircea_popescu: we gotta get rid of this whole "subkey" bs and kock-shitsandwich bs along with it.
mircea_popescu: if it were a case of "phf why the fuck are you using non-v or non-tmsr or non-standard or non-something" it'd have legs. as it is it's "phf why didn't you intuit what's in the magic box under my bed" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you seriously can't go after people who happen to not share your ~unpublished~ personal pre-chain.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but how do you call it ? import gnupg ? and then gpg = ?
mircea_popescu: "This manifest created on x to comply with prevailing standards ; original had no such thing." fir instance ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imo manifest ~should~ be historically accurate.
mircea_popescu: (really, just a disguised attempt to show off my latest header. ain't that shit insane ?)
mircea_popescu: amusingly, ballas sorta-kinda sees parts of the issue ("it is not that i am interested, i perceive it is important and therefore i force myself to be interested" ), but vehehehery safely limited to things like "reading the economist" and such.
mircea_popescu: the necessary correlate of "we'll be rich and powerful with '''service industry''' ie doing each other's laundry" is "we'll be rich and powerful with '''service industry''' ie dancing in the street for nickles".
mircea_popescu: he's right, after a fashion, the way that place's going...
mircea_popescu: also, there's a bum outside your residence somewhere, who similarily thinks, "alf has not yet heard the good word, will soon be a bum too".
mircea_popescu: "they just haven't heard the good word yet" dontchaknow.
mircea_popescu: there is A LOT of "nyahnyahnyah" buried at the root of pantsuit tree.
