mircea_popescu: im starting to understand that part of the reason people still stick around is that they don't have a ready reference for their inferiority as white people in the western world.

mircea_popescu: if i ever end up accused of rape in the crown's possessions i will point out that not being british myself, they shouldn't be as presumptious as all this. i'll tell them if i fucked them or not if i feel like it, no need to try and invent themselves merits scripturally.
mircea_popescu: it was a case of "the best thing that can happen to a subhuman british citizen is being used for the pleasure of a superior muslin man"

mircea_popescu has spent less time waiting than most people spent having orgasms, afaict.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in this particular case they didn't manage to close the sale in a minute or so, and so i walked out.
mircea_popescu: even as late as 2004 queues were still reserved for subway and other subhumanities.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field they're skimping on service in the us too now ?
mircea_popescu: why the fuck are you trying to cheat at life ? your two idiots aren't worth eating for fucks sake.
mircea_popescu: and i was like... what the fuck is wrong with you woman! i have women to run around and serve me because i'm fucking special.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: i watched a middle aged woman and two young men. they were seated at some table being the usual monkeys adolescents are today
mircea_popescu: (seriously, imagine this in an actual starbucks lmao!)

mircea_popescu: no you don't understand, they were going to sit themselves down in the middle of someone else's field and charge a toll!
mircea_popescu: "the only apple app that celebrates women as items in trade"
mircea_popescu: the notion that "uppity ustard talking out of line" is correctly represented as "fellow human taking on too much risk" is a core example of this problem, actually. what, we're all sitting at a table in mutual equality deciding how much to put down on red ? gtfo, you're not even allowed in the parking lot.
mircea_popescu: "3) Overconfidence. Some of us are too confident about our abilities, and this causes us to take greater risks in our daily lives." << mno. some of you are overfed and underexposed to risk of violent death. that makes you be stupid, it's got nothing to do with "risk taking" bs. it has everything to do with erroneously positioning oneself in relation to the outside world and the great things in it.
mircea_popescu: where the fuck do they hire those actuaries that work for 50 cents an hour ?
mircea_popescu: So what was it? Did we just pick the wrong videographer? Did we pay too much for what was being offered? Should we have paid more for a more experienced videographer? Or significantly less for someone of equal calibre? Maybe our product just didn’t need a video? I mean, we’re selling women’s clothing and the items themselves are undoubtedly “out there”. Perhaps leveraging word of mouth would have proved just
mircea_popescu: invested in that we may have been better off. In retrospect, however, it was still difficult to say whether it would have saved us from our subsequent mistakes).
mircea_popescu: "The outcome? Based on subsequent actuarial, statistical, and financial analyses, we concluded that not a single dollar spent on videography amounted to a single dollar in revenue generated by those investments. In other words, every dollar we spent on videography and on models was, economically speaking, a complete and utter deadweight loss (photography actually proved to be very effective early on, and should we have
mircea_popescu: talk to the derps that spent 200mn and nobody ever heard of them.
mircea_popescu: "After $4000 spent, there was NO way, in light of the supposed attention to detail and effort we put into our videography, that this could not generate some kind of a media buzz, and in return, contribute to revenue growth…" << loller.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean what they're currently wearing, i mean all the underwear they ever used.
mircea_popescu: these are the people that can't be bothered to notice posters that cost more than their underwear.

mircea_popescu: check it out, the guy spent way too much money. s.mg blew up more than that on online advertising for eulora mostly to give me material to write derisively abot "the industry" of online advertising.
mircea_popescu: • $Another 50 per model for the 10 models in our videos."
mircea_popescu: • $500 for promotional clothing for the models in our videos.
mircea_popescu: • $1000 on a conceptual promotional video for our brand.

mircea_popescu: incredibly enough, it STILL didn't work! yet nobody can ever tell him why! because IT WAS WHITENED!!! ha-ha!
mircea_popescu: it not only made it impossible to immediately notice that people suck, but it also made it unobvious to gatekeepers that this is a dumb idea.
mircea_popescu: check it out asciilifeform someone decided to solve the problem of ugc by adding... WHITENING!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem here being that if your "mathematical simulations inspired by words" actually produce stuff people want to wear, then you don't need it to be an app, just build a factory ; on the other hand, if people have to design themselves, then you have the same old problem of UGC : people suck.
mircea_popescu: "UDesign™ allowed everyday people to generate their own uniquely beautiful patterns for made-to-order clothing and accessories, using mathematical simulations inspired by Complexity science and Chaos theory."
mircea_popescu: i wonder what will i be taking in my travels for the waitresses and secretaries. tp and jeans like before ? batteries, maybe ?
