mircea_popescu: ascii_field wasn't it in that time traveling british thing with the guy with wild hair and the two kids ?
mircea_popescu: ftr : i've been here over a year and i've not pinched a single butt (the plain variety - on the street, uknown - let's not get into perversion) because a) they're short and b) they're petrified.
mircea_popescu: never read blogs, they drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience!
mircea_popescu: motherfucker i only know what it is because i looked it up because you're fucking obsessed with it.
mircea_popescu: "This is how I know that anyone who says, "If only I could live in Mad Men time where you could pinch a girl's ass and not get in trouble for it" is going to be way disappointed if a TARDIS shows up, because they wouldn't pinch them back then, either, not because they are afraid of trouble but because they are afraid of girls. Exhibit A: you know what a TARDIS is."
mircea_popescu: (psa : if you're female, in your 20s and ~couldn't~ replace either girl at my option, you fail at life. practice more, this is important. reading jezbel is not.)
mircea_popescu: There's only one thing it can do: say that these women don't know better, that they're broken women from broken homes... that they're not real women."
mircea_popescu: "That's the trick of Shame. "He's an attractive, wealthy, guy with a big penis (did you see it, ladies?) but he's not using it properly..." Brandon's sex addiction makes him very un-desirable, no one watches Shame and says, "wow, I want to be Brandon" and no woman says, "wow, I want to be with Brandon." The opposite is true for Tucker Max, who is popular with women, especially the very women that he "degrades." Now
mircea_popescu: i think it might be about three or four different oens tho
mircea_popescu: really makes more sense for you to buy her a diamond than for her to turn tricks and bring you the money.
mircea_popescu: " Sex addiction rarely breaks laws so it can't be punished, and there's no God so the immorality of it is debatable, i.e. inconsequential. It must be a disease, that way other people don't want to catch it. All psychiatric treatment of constructed syndromes isn't about cure but about regression to the mean, where mean= cubicle drone. " not even, just... please believe that monogynous fambly is the only fambly and it
mircea_popescu: "i know nothing about how kernels work but i'm 36 and i don't think the nielsen box in my house does enough to mess up society - here's some rephrasing i've done in my mysteriously abundant spare time"
mircea_popescu: or, "how the women nobody can be bothered to fuck anymore are getting into everyone's business any chance they get".
mircea_popescu: ddicts we see in movies and on the news are: rock stars, politicians, sports guys, CEOs. If you think about the demo primed to receive this depiction of lothario as sex addict-- women over 35, i.e. the demo for Shame-- sex addiction needs to be seen as terrible because it is terrible for them. It may also be terrible for the sex addict, but fuck you, we have a society to run."
mircea_popescu: "Take a look at Brandon. When media wants to depict a sex addict they depict the wealthy, the good looking, the powerful, the well hung. There are plenty of slimy basement dwelling janitor sex addicts out there, but they are represented as sex offenders. There are also plenty of gay sex addicts out there, but they are represented as gay. Both of you are dismissed, the world has no time for your nonsense. The sex a
mircea_popescu: whole thing is a trivial example of WHY usg doth not want a sane bitcoind, ie, a 700kb one./

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda too lazy to read, but what did they do, caught some derp's gf's mother's (she was underage) cc on coinbase or what.
mircea_popescu: "so then what hope for anarcho-syndicalism is there ???" you mean that enchanted land where you don't have to work because you're somehow rich and yet idiots being rich does not degrade richdom ? plus you have "all the choices" but never have to take one to get there ? "yes!!!!"
mircea_popescu: this is the overarching point. idiot : "bitcoin empowers idiots just like me". no, it doesn't.
mircea_popescu: Short of cauterizing your own genitals, nothing seems like it would change who you are like speaking in an-other's language. Blech, I'd rather wear someone else's underwear, no thanks, I'll take the 12 credits but no way am I retaining anything."
mircea_popescu: "If you want to watch these invisible unconscious defenses play out right in front of you, in real time, in a real way, watch an adult American try to learn a second language.
mircea_popescu: it's like the matrix, see. take the red pill of escaping censorship into the loving embrace of the nsa ofshots!
mircea_popescu: seems the entire "bitcoin is for crymynalzzzz" is more of the same "i wish i was cool, maybe if i put this hat on ?"
mircea_popescu: meanwhile dumbass white kids in montana can't get laid with or without assistance, what markets.
mircea_popescu: i assassinated buterin, lolski, derpersson, whoever. no need for a "market".
mircea_popescu: all the pants wetting about "Assasination markets" and whatnot is probably misplaced.

mircea_popescu: word. "why can't i quit pop culture ?" "because to you it's a solution, not a problem."
mircea_popescu: culture isn't a symptom of our dying society, it is its heroic measures."
mircea_popescu: "There is no information there. It is there in order for you to talk about it-- so you have something to talk to others about, through a screen darkly or face to face, because if it weren't for these meaningless media stories which includes all partisan politics people would have nothing to say to each other, and society's collapse into hikikomori narcissism would be total. Which is why it is correct to say that pop
mircea_popescu: "The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, Nev., has come under scrutiny since one of its patrons suffered an actual heart attack while eating a Triple Bypass Burger there earlier this week."
mircea_popescu: supposedly there exist suckers buying into this. like supposedly there existed suckers buying into the original "sale". right-o.
