mircea_popescu: "yes. and we sell it at a discount wirth this caveat, we won't take it back. it's already been returned by a dozen people. perfectly healthy parrot, fine specimen, but -"
mircea_popescu: "nothing really, just this : it's the parrot of a deceased brothel madam. spent all his prior life in brothel, has very saucy conversation"

mircea_popescu: and one day sees in window of pet shop a beautiful white specimen, and the price. which, shockingly, is not only much less than what a parrot costs, but also within her savings!

mircea_popescu: but the "Shut up a second" and especially "listen" is not ... convenient for many folks.
mircea_popescu: simple example : if i get a stomach upset, i can identify the culprit through the simple process of ... "shut the fuck up a mintuer and listen".
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's the normal/natural state. people with overrepressive habits (ie, bad childhood) end up blind to their own mind, but...
mircea_popescu: this notion that one's head is enough, is fundamental to it.
mircea_popescu: re tlp's entire "universities don't produce producers, they produce consumers". there's some very specific requirements for "consumership" and they're not the obvious "oh bad people" bla bla.
mircea_popescu: o do this heavy lifting as long as they are given just the right facts, filtered from the "noise." "Where can we get the right facts, in a world of liars?" Good question, maybe the news?"
mircea_popescu: They consider themselves leaderless. They can have representatives, they can have "evangelists" but they have to believe that their conclusions are all their own, through individual reflection and objective consideration. Interestingly, and on purpose, they believe their brains can handle such an analysis, any analysis. This isn't arrogance. They are told, by universities and the media, that their mind is prepared t
☟︎ mircea_popescu: The "independent" demo actually has all the textbook characteristics of a group most susceptible to propaganda, more correctly "pre-propaganda", and by textbook I mean literally Propaganda.
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news, "Worse, they proudly announce their lack of ideology by branding themselves as Independents-- capital I, a thing, a demo. He willingly lessens his independence to become part of a group.
mircea_popescu suspects it is a reimplementation of ancient stuff on new hardware.
mircea_popescu: and the channel yet again tricks me into revealing even more of the mysterious evil from the tower depths. oy vey.
mircea_popescu: anyway, merely the contemplation of the plain if never discussed (shouldn't this be discussed in school ? you think ?) that cells do not actually have signalling for hunger built in, so the entire insulin system is left guesing, with all the attendant problems of insulin resistence etc. they didn't think this was important enough. apoptosis, yes. this, no. not fundamental enough, didn't make the cut.
mircea_popescu: which makes it a good movie ; which hollywood can't apparently do.
mircea_popescu: and newly woman responds smiling that there's nothing to it.
mircea_popescu: comes back to her still girly friend, who asks her "omygerd you mean you wore this ? and men saw you ? BUT HOW ???"
mircea_popescu: girl goes to visit her slut sister, is fucked, gets some trappings of womanhood (dress)
mircea_popescu: you should. very nice softcore/sexploitation movie, epic natural d's. but the story is more important.
mircea_popescu: tho i doubt many in the audience have the actual, proper mathematical understanding to grasp the MEANING of formalisms.
mircea_popescu: and the thread re "what is the meaning of fractal" controls here,
mircea_popescu: all life works in a certain way for the reason that it's cheapest
mircea_popescu: and filogenesis replicates ontogenesis, or vice-versa. first, the woman spits out a blob, then of the blob collection the men kill some,
mircea_popescu: you have to understand ontogenesis is a two step process. first, a blob develops.then, controlled apoptosis, a process so fundamental cells have signalling baked in for it (but not for hunger, not for pain etc) makes the spaces between what will be your fingers.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: which is why teaching slavegirls to orgasm on command is important. the internalised sexuality is a good and useful proxy for a great many other things they need.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: could it be that your girl is actually a MUCH NICER partner (for sex) than you are for yourself (in your own head, doing things, like sleeping)
mircea_popescu: you do take leg and would at least consider wakefulness dope. but not penis dope.

mircea_popescu: i am not arguing from my pov, but from the contrarian pov.
mircea_popescu: are you the sort of republican central time backwards orc that refuses science ?

mircea_popescu: "imagine no baldness. there'd be no stopping them, a nation of supermen" ?
mircea_popescu: then people wanna take drugs, as if juddling all this shit in the vain, vague hope that it's evolutionarized to balance isn't hard enough,
mircea_popescu: that if you don't despise yourself and your own achievements, you'll never get anywhere. but not too much! because you also won't get anywhere! etc.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, the chief problem with self esteem, and it is indeed a major problem, is that coping strategies develop and are tested as the name says : through coping. will is a fabulous thing, which serves approximately the same role as beauty in teenaged females : now you don't gotta work at anything, because lalaland. and so you don't. and so you suck at everything ELSE. and you're fucked. the problem with self esteem is
mircea_popescu: ascii_field and at about the same age, i wanted to fight a lamb! headbutting ftw
mircea_popescu: ascii_field there are two kinds of three year olds. all three year olds sooner or later threaten their parents with holding their breath. all parents laugh at this, as it's a physiological impossibility : if you do any sort of a good job you necessarily pass out, and once you pass out autosomatic control restarts breathing. the two kinds of kids are : the ones that are dissuaded by this ; and the ones that are now.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i can explain what scams are to wilful idiots until i fall over, it's not unlike trying to prevent storms by lubricating the water.
mircea_popescu: the erect cock, as an incarnation of will, is the one and only driver of action. which is why attempts to legislate inaction are stuck pretending "rape" exists. unless everyone's flaccid, the supremacy of will over everything is too hard a sell.
