mircea_popescu: among other many things. they're really orthogonal things.
mircea_popescu: but the POINT of jobs is for the employees to be fungible. the point of house slaves is for the slaves to be the opposite of fungible.
mircea_popescu: good for you!
mircea_popescu: etc etc.
mircea_popescu: labour != value
mircea_popescu: work != job.
mircea_popescu: see how they compare, see why.
mircea_popescu: if you think it is, train a slave to do it at home, try to hire a brutha to do it at your diner.
mircea_popescu: it is not.
mircea_popescu: who a) should not be driving ; b) want to be driving ; c) can't find a sane way out of this.
mircea_popescu: the only people who go "sitting quietly in the car is the best car driving they ever did" are mentally ill 15 yos.

mircea_popescu: much like the teenager is only "unruly" if dumbass anette bening of a mother keeps getting in the way,
mircea_popescu: from what i gather the latter behaviour is mostly human-reactive.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it's the way of over there. ro notion of bear is mostly "this cute thing".
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/the-bicameral-world-in-one-room-the-city-dump-in-the-other-room-the-starred-restaurant-do-these-talk-to-each-other-read-on-to-find-out/ << voice. big deal.

mircea_popescu: but otherwise, chimps and people evolved the same time interval, and separately. so go ask geese, for the same money.
mircea_popescu: no, we did not. both monkeys and us descdended from the same thing. which was not a monkey.
mircea_popescu: different fucking houses yo. and the usual ignorance with "we descended from monkeys" is particularly poignant.

mircea_popescu: all through the "endangered gorillas" craze of the 90s all i could think was "these people seriously need better hobbies"

mircea_popescu: but diabethes is good for you. moar checks.
mircea_popescu: im not disputing that the system works within its own logic. i'm merely saying, that "logic" is neither self aware nor to be approached like a human endeavour. it's monkey business, bring chisels.
