mircea_popescu: (in case anyone's wondering why mp cannons have throughout and strictly been pointed on gavin - yes, this is why).
mircea_popescu: for all the public exercises in verbal nonracism, one needs but examine how the asian man looks in english, since the coolie and laundry man of 1815 san francisco, to the waspy, evil conniving gook of the war to today's strange.
mircea_popescu: in the public imagination, it's this derp whom you'd be unkind to pick a fight with
mircea_popescu: incredible fucking shift, the azn man is today approximately the gay man of 1950.
mircea_popescu: anyway. or to get back to jamaica, there is zombie. but kindaoverused.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: what was the eskimo for "old people headed for a walk on the ice sheet" ?
mircea_popescu: it is in fact the case that after a certain limit they;re lost for humanity.
mircea_popescu: but this is what informs my entire "male, female and fatstupid - three humangenders."
mircea_popescu: actually the problem of the morbidly obese is exactly like the problem of the society that spawned them. balooning debt, which is eagerly soaked up by unproductive/rent seeking parts ; however any cuts of income hit the productive parts first.
mircea_popescu: well. same thing with fat : after bmi 40ish or so it is rather impossible for the body to recover on its own.
mircea_popescu: because the protein construction machines are made of proteins, and those proteins have been digested.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you familiar with the fact that if one is starved for long enough, eventually one appears alive and can move but WILL die of starvation and can't eat ?
mircea_popescu: "oh, our new fad diet is to only eat old car seats!!1 IT WORKS!!1". yeah, in the 1.7% of the population whose sticking point at that time happened to be a lack of X, which X is abundant in used car seats, it "helps", until the metabolism gets wedged into something else.
mircea_popescu: how many "lifechanging diets" actually work ? and how many actually go "vitamins and micronutrients, and some reasonable exercise" ? and what's the overlap between these two classes ?
mircea_popescu: this is no excuse, of course, you gotta restock and insist. but people who dunno this dunno what they need to do, either.
mircea_popescu: just like the woman with a cunt infection is "uninclined to be sexy".
mircea_popescu: which is the biological reason why fat people are uninclined to be active.
mircea_popescu: but a) those are limited ; b) muscular activity doesn't magically turn oxalate-whatever into glucose and water ; c) in plenty of cases the fixed requirements of muscles actually further deplete already depleted stores of various nutrients.
mircea_popescu: anyway, what i was going to say : the being active thing helps, in people with sane problems, in no large part because it exercises the glucide -> protein pathways.
mircea_popescu: but not giving scooters to fat people won't help them be less fat.
mircea_popescu: if their brain forces them to worship you, like child brain does, or if they willingly worship you, like slave does, then yes you can order them into anything.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i srslyhave yet to see a problem that can be fixed by authoritarian approach in people other than children and slaves.
mircea_popescu: the reason that fat doesn't go away is that the liver knows what's in it, and doesn't feel itself equal to the task of opening that nuclear casket.
mircea_popescu: since fat burial is not in the same sense limited, people get what's known as "unloseable weight".
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the intake is not limited by anythning but the size of the throat and one's patience to keep shoving things down it.
mircea_popescu: the excretion happens through skin, urine etc. but in all these avenues it is fixed and limited.
mircea_popescu: the OTHER however, and in the us population without exception the more important, is toxin load. the body has two approaches to dealing with toxins : excretion and fat burial.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: anywya, to get back to the original thing. there are two components to being a hamplanet. one is the heavy calorie intake in a very poorly balance diet. lacking sufficient long tail nutrients, the body finds itself stuck and unable to handle the food intake, much like a builder that gets fifty barges of bricks but no mortar, no rebar, no nothing can't really make houses, just brickpiles.
mircea_popescu: competitive spirit is strangely disadvantageous for sportive lifestyle.
mircea_popescu: (pisses them the shit off, the "even more for a woman" part. i got some reasonable biceps, nothing athletic, just, healthy male human sort of thing. and well... woman can't get it. six months later, gained 1/4 inch, i never work out, cue the ragenvy)
mircea_popescu: but you have a point, it's not like, two weeks!!1 sorta thing. and im not very hardline about it either.

mircea_popescu: i actually don't let teh womenz lift lest they get too big.
mircea_popescu: ah, implication works one way. mississippi ends up in the ocean, not all ocean came from mississippi.

mircea_popescu: so you're very well advised to think long and hard before tricking your body into building muscles. will i actually use these forever ?

☟︎ mircea_popescu: yeah. and as we all know, asking a cop if he's a cop obliges him to confess or else it's entrapment!
mircea_popescu: i just think he's the introvert thinker type that never actually spent much time interacting with actual courts.
mircea_popescu: well unless you're also stockpiling tanks and depth charges on the quiet, i fail to see how any of this can in any manner no matter how creatively constructive be of any interest to you. yes, rather obviously if you start shooting people and blowing up things you'd better succeed because else you'll be put in prison.
mircea_popescu: otherwise sure, canadian officers used to convict local women to being raped to death or whatever 1720 nonsense.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic no but these are british ridiculousnesses from ww2. i mean an example from your actual lifetime.

mircea_popescu: WE can only take so much mediocrity ? andwhere are they taking it to ?
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic for my curiosity, was sedition ever been successfully prosecuted in canada? it'd appear it actually helped rather than hindered that houde character, and that was back in the murky days of ww2.
mircea_popescu: "you are supposed to know what little dots go where!!1"
mircea_popescu: but yes, some sort of classical chinese is not even impossible for the future. especially if i can get good at it by being lazy.
