mircea_popescu: it's a fruit off the same bizarro tree of their sexuality.
mircea_popescu: but for the record, this "perverse pleasure" is strictly a ustardian thing.
mircea_popescu: e is in your living room, eyeballing the nice things in your home. If it is a fact that you will inevitably give him the money, is it easier to for you to pair it with your venom or your sympathy? Though it's enraging, there is a perverse pleasure in giving that bastard the money. It tells you that you showed him that you are better than him."
mircea_popescu: "If this seems implausible to you, which it must-- that's exactly the point of it-- consider the following extreme analogy, which surprisingly will be easier to understand, which is also the whole point: Say your father raped you repeatedly for a decade. Hold on, slow down, it gets worse: now you're 40, and he shows up asking you for $2400 because, and I quote, "you have a responsibility to take care of me." There h
mircea_popescu: he price of food stamps. Other correct responses would be $700/mo for "some high school" (SSI) or $1500/mo for "previous work experience" (unemployment). I would have accepted $2000/mo for "minorities" (jail) for partial credit."
mircea_popescu: " Is there a natural economic equilibrium price where, say, a U Chicago grad can do no economically productive work at all but still be paid to use Instagram? Let me be explicit: my question is not should we do this, my question is that since this is precisely what's happening already, is it sustainable? What is the cost? I don't have to run the numbers, someone already has: it's $150/mo for a college grads, i.e. t
mircea_popescu: heck, it's practically done already, newton raves madly for most of the lenght.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, i can make a summary statement of calculus that reads exactly like timecube for the first half. after which it starts falling into place.
mircea_popescu: in so being, they also become a descriptor of your worth as a being. there's no good reason to pick any set nor a good method to find out which to pick.
mircea_popescu: they ARE equivalent. a picture of a car IS equivalent to a picture of a slut even if a car and a slut are not equivalent. axioms are just that, axioms. arbitrary statements for no reason with no cause.
mircea_popescu: yeah yeah, i like dating but hate crazy bitches. sure.
mircea_popescu: WHY is it the root! what the fuck is this, the game of calling things things ?
mircea_popescu: "why are you looking at woman's ass ?" "because it is in the middle of my interest."
mircea_popescu: why do i look at a woman's ass ? ask me that, go in the corner on knees on rice.
mircea_popescu: also importantly, "by making the mathematical approach to many pricing problems unfeasible". MANY. not all. not "set of tyres" necessarily.
mircea_popescu: no qualms with that. and he who is in the driver seat is the driver. excuse me while i don't stick around with sweving cars.
mircea_popescu: i loved the soviet system except for the parts where it deeply misunderstood elite.
mircea_popescu: otherwise derps will go right on into the swamp of mechanised trust / resource allocation / doom on a stick.
mircea_popescu: by making the mathematical approach to many pricing problems unfeasible, they prevent undesirable mechanization.
mircea_popescu: incidentallty, this is why "corruption" aka elite networks are both a needed as well as an efficient control on capitalism.
mircea_popescu: by the time you're done alf will have done his routing by hand.
mircea_popescu: or, as it more often the case "you know, i still owe you on that grain deal. if only you actually wanted any of the shit i have." "well actually i'm moving to argentina" "omfg yes. would you like an apartment ?"
mircea_popescu: s, but a picture of a baby isn't more important than a picture of a car. "Yeah, but--" I know. Logic is mean. "
mircea_popescu: " I'll grant that there is some level of bonding that occurs between women over baby pictures, worth exploring later, but not for men: men will only (and rarely) show photos of their children doing something, the activity is what represents the kid as kid and them as a parent. Showing a man a baby picture is equivalent to showing a woman a picture of his car. "A #baby is more important than a car, dontcha think?" Ye
mircea_popescu: fucking ballas. he's like this crazy drug addled chick you knew when you were a teen and STILL catch up with occasionally because hot damn...
mircea_popescu: ubly interesting because calculus was invented to make hard work easier."
mircea_popescu: "However, not all women are the target demo of Randi's lip synching, the CEO of General Dynamics is a woman, I think she has a higher security clearance than the entire Senate, and I know for a fact she builds alien spaceships, why not interview her about how she uses social media to promote her brand and make connections and break ceilings? Because there's no Like button for hard work or triple integrals, which is do
mircea_popescu: so i started on that medium article, by the 2nd paragraph i was skimming, by the 8th or so i bailed. i guess not the demo.
mircea_popescu: (thing is amusingly reminescent of how various people keep asking me what i pay in rent and expect a number. as if that's how it fucking works, somehow.)

mircea_popescu: "The final piece of the puzzle is a bonkers fiscal environment driving capital misallocation on a scale that tiny shot-pulling brains simply cannot wrap themselves around. Take Adam, Bill, and Charlie: three young men who all attended Harvard together, and went into finance seperately."
mircea_popescu: this is practically rome conquering greece. tho im kinda curious to see if the us actually has in it anything OTHER than byzantium.
mircea_popescu: seems the two parties are finding an amiable solution. win-win as they say : china is more than happy to own the ground, and us is more than happy to continue pretending indefinitely.
mircea_popescu: "The power is traded for the fetish of power. That's not capitalism, it is madness, and apparently Davos and Randi think women especially will heart it. "
mircea_popescu: it's a european festival thing with ancient tradition, if you will.

mircea_popescu: i forgot what the one is where he fucks a woman's twennysomething daughter and then ends up marring the woman.
mircea_popescu: tho he does a lot of these "actual old/wounded male interacting with fucktarded us women" things.
mircea_popescu: <hdbuck> maybe i missed something << only half the shares get actually traded.
mircea_popescu: apparently my brain decided to cut to the chase, what "log", you're clearly going for the day's lols!

mircea_popescu: where's the "and then i harassed some nurses" chapter in the man's own rendering of his saga ?
mircea_popescu: ustardian so far lost in this "telling your own story" pipe dream, can't even tell a story anymore.
