mircea_popescu: the notion
that somehow russia is a free country dun stand, or else you know, we'd just move
there.
mircea_popescu: not a matter of proof of absence ;
the structure is
there quite plainly. if you can be bothered
to dig you'll find
the rest.
mircea_popescu: it's your job
to now convince me
the "centre for information securityt" of
the fsb prosecuted no "hacker" at any point during its decade long
tenure.
mircea_popescu: your claim was "0 usg-style preet process",
to which i showed 100% preet process : 1.
that indeed
there was a preet ; and
that indeed he was preet'ed.
mircea_popescu: exact preet. spent a while "prosecuting" "cybercrime",
then got prosecuted in
turn.
mircea_popescu: moreover, what did
the preet do before being canned, quite a la yezhov ?
mircea_popescu: but be
that as it may, for
the brief interlude in question.
there's no substantial difference
today.
mircea_popescu: well, you'll have
to pick one which you believe, and stick
to it.
mircea_popescu: if
that's not
the entirety of culture,
then it's not missing much.
mircea_popescu: nevermind
the fire.
the cultural value of "d00d would be a free man if he sat in moscow." is ~1.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
thought
the ru mob had 0 cultural value.
mircea_popescu: eh, unless you're willing
to shoot usg agents on shight / impale
the captured etc, ~everywhere is same.
mircea_popescu: pretty sure
this guy lived in
the eastern mediterranean.

totum victor Romanus habebat, qua mare, qua
terrae, qua sidus currit utrumque; nec satiatus erat. Gravidis freta pulsa carinis iam peragebantur; si quis sinus abditus ultra, si qua foret
tellus, quae fuluum mitteret aurum, hostis erat, fatisque in
tristia bella paratis quaerebantur opes."
mircea_popescu: (and yes, latin philosophy of
the
time was 60% by mass "women, unbridled, will doom
the republic". hence ~porcius~ cato for instance.)
mircea_popescu: (for
the innocent : fata denotes fate in
that
text, and male evil. but at
the
time c. petronius wrote he was doubltess fully aware of
the vulgar latin
tendency
towards what yielded romanian fata (girl), even if very unlikely unaware of
the eventual meaning of "male". yet, we can read a vernacular relation
there between male/female doubling agency/fate on
the distal plane.
THIS is what literary genius is all about, ulterior me
mircea_popescu hasn't in much depth checked, but
the quoted part at least is correct.

mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2017-06-12 18:05 phf: ben_vulpes: could you possibly add
timestamp (hh:mm:ss, say)
to your div.line's. maybe as data-ts="..." or perhaps as a div.nick
title?
BingoBoingo: The "amazington host" sounds liek a grand way
to refer
to a gathering of redditards.
mircea_popescu: neither very happy with
the inept "relativism" of sophistry, at
that.
mircea_popescu: very similar items, really. inborn,
to some degree, can be cultivated, which helps, dependingly, and so on.
mircea_popescu: in any case -- i am entirely convinced
the
two are orthogonal.
there's no more reason in intelligence
to be cowardly
than
there's reason in rain
to wet
the bed.
mircea_popescu: cuz i suspect
they may be sortable, in which case your argument's in
trouble.
mircea_popescu: now, had i believed any of
those summed
to 1, i'd say nothing but simply be
there.
the fuck i care, it
takes me six weeks
to learn a language, any language, and i know no women who'd dare "opine" on
the move.
mircea_popescu: the overarching point here is
that just as never an ought came from an is ; just so no coward managed
to reason his way into valor.

mircea_popescu: by
the fruits you will have
the verdict ready before inspecting any leaves.
mircea_popescu: this is
the substantive difference here,
that i dun care how fucking smart-casual you were dressed or how debate-club-approvably your wit flew. wrong party === losers and no further discussion is useful or necessary.
mircea_popescu: phf
the noise isn't even
the subject.
there's
two kinds of girls :
those who go, and
those who do not go.
this is established afore
the fact, and NOT at
the party. now, a party with
the later, no matter how
timed or where established, be it "night of
the demons"-like or simply a rural "community center" church dance, will NOT yield fucking. period and full fucking stop and jack slow down and etcetera.
mircea_popescu: phf as far as moderns are concerned, y-m le bourdonnec, say, or else hugo desnoyer. probably can even buy a chunk. otherwise, as far as
the anthropology / history an' generally scholarship of
the matter is concerned,
there's late medieval / early modern french, spanish sources, even a bit of latin, but i've not
them assembled and at
the ready.
phf: 've discussed
to death here, why doing so was a waste of
time. i suspect
that usenet was similar. you have a handful of insightful posts lost in
the noise

☟︎ phf: mircea_popescu: what's
there
to read in french on meat aging? asking for practical purposes
mircea_popescu: "The attic of
the restaurant was loaded with about 100 lbs of boric acid during
the remodel."" << yeah, de armond dood clearly knows his way around a restaurant operaiton.
mircea_popescu: now, aging meat is a respectable
topic. problem is
the subject is written in french, and
these fellows evidently never read any.

the rest of
the
toyotas with bavarian paintjobs), but I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW i just ingested a 28 oz porterhouse steak!
mircea_popescu: it's not
that i WANT

that usg == usg, whether usg.yuppies or usg.countercultures.
