mircea_popescu: " you can support associative array lookups, appending to unbounded-size arrays, and the like, as fundamental machine operations."
mircea_popescu: trinque hey, is there a url to download deedbot's db, i forget ?
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_> <-- perhaps you'd also like to have girlfriends, but never see or fuck them << you don't understand what the internets is for, or what the mobile revolution all about.
mircea_popescu: dawg, that's where they play that game. you wanna play that game, gotta go where they play it.
mircea_popescu: what am i, like harlan ellison's noob that fell off the turnip truck ? so excited to be published i forget to pick up the check ?
mircea_popescu: how about "i don't feel like wasting any of the women i can stand enough to fuck on this fool's errand" ?
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't raise them myself anyway, what do they have mothers for ?
mircea_popescu: yet another reason i don't feel inclined to procreate : i don't actually know of a group for whose sake i'd be willing to lie to eventual daughters.
mircea_popescu: who did you think was prescribing all the ritalin, obgyns ?
mircea_popescu: "lie to little boys about their value, which is absent ; lie to little girls about their inferiority, which is nonsense. come out ahead of "saner" people."
mircea_popescu: and no, bismarckian public education is the original PRODUCTIVE scam. that's why the system even survived through centuries (and really, the same shit held up classical antiquity, just, different name)
mircea_popescu: it's rather instructive to compare the "what they were telling 5yo boys" sides of historical conflicts, with the "who won", check out that r!
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the point : unless you actually spend the inordinate amount of effort and make-believe into getting boys appear (to themselves, and to others) actually worth the effort, they won't be. and from there on the whole shebang unravels.
mircea_popescu: yes murican "educational experts" never got wtf the thing is for or about. because whatever, paint copysts.
mircea_popescu: to the extent it EVER worked, it was specifically designed koan-style by koan-aware people for that one guy.
mircea_popescu: school is for providing the background where korolev grows up. both he and the background are unaware of what they're doing there.
mircea_popescu: who designed their winning rockets, and more importantly, who decided to even go that way ?
mircea_popescu: not for all of them, but you don't need to, and it doesn't work reliably either, but you don't need it to, either.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that boys are retarded while girls are useless.
mircea_popescu: " It's obvious to anyone who has ever seen a boy that they appear, as compared to a similarly aged girl, completely retarded."
mircea_popescu: the death where mp is NOT EVEN IMPRESSED. and he's from fucking romanistan!
mircea_popescu: the death where everyone runs around like a headless chicken while the economy disappears "all by itself" and every war is lost (and scarcely even worth the name)
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many people are willing to earnestly contemplate the sad truth that you HAVE TO tell small boys that they're better than small girls, and you HAVE TO construct everything to make them actually believe it. nobody wants to do this, everyone has to do this, because the alternative is, plainly speaking, death.
mircea_popescu: somehow the obvious "if you've not managed to sell school to boys you failed" is not getting across. "girls will stick with it because that's what girls ARE" is not even possible to contemplate.
mircea_popescu: the result of making education "more inclusive" ? society gets tuned out by the most important half of itself.
mircea_popescu: e girls. So the problem isn't simply that boys mature slower than girls, it is that they are required to perform the same exact skills at the same exact time. Any surprise boys hate school more, "ADHD" is more prevalent, etc? And there is more anxiety and thus pressure about the potential ineptitude of sons than daughters.
mircea_popescu: Second, one might ask why this is happening to boys more than girls. It's obvious to anyone who has ever seen a boy that they appear, as compared to a similarly aged girl, completely retarded. So it makes sense that affluent parents-- any parents-- who have the option, will redshirt their five year old boy and hope he gets another year of maturity under his belt so that-- and this is my point-- he can keep up with th
mircea_popescu: ;;google first step to nobel prize in physics visegrad
mircea_popescu: ;;google "moving bodies in own gravitational field" visegrad
mircea_popescu: also that's probably the worst presentation for it, seeing how the shoulder articulation actually unhinges.
mircea_popescu: aha. it's particularly difficult in humans, because as ben_vulpes observes, flesh.
mircea_popescu: if you measure correctly you can get her to where she's not totally murdering herself on that thing. not trivial.
mircea_popescu: but i guess the old adage stands, that there's no better way to understand a text than to try and translate it\
mircea_popescu: i guess b-a is a very good venue to discuss the matter.
mircea_popescu: i on the other hand have held under lease tens of millions worth (dubviously, which is why i lease in the first place) of real estate the world over during the past decade or so...
mircea_popescu: ah yea, managed some small office building thing, i recall.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform : historical version is historical version, whadda ya want from me.
