mircea_popescu: no it wasn't. dude, srsly... they had a fucking draft for vietnam.
mircea_popescu: the day they decided to fret over "transgenderism" instead of beating kids for sport is the day performance went away
mircea_popescu: and the reaso nit is "very difficulty" to appraise the "capabilites" of us army/navy/etc is because they are nil. anmd the reason they are nil is exactly the same reason the intellectual abilities of college grads are nil.
mircea_popescu: 'The Pentagon didn't notice the moment when blowing up defenseless, demoralized adversaries using cruise missiles stopped being the only method for waging war.' << this was never the fucking case wtf narrative bs is this.
mircea_popescu: soviets also stole from "the property of the whole people"
mircea_popescu: if you're curious as to where the endless scams draw their vigour from... you need look no further than government.
mircea_popescu: yeah i guess qntra ddoser got his monthly allowance or w/e that is.
mircea_popescu: in fact the smoothness comparison is a decent indication of the entropy involved.
mircea_popescu: hint : a world without complex systems IS a realistic goal. in point of fact, it is the baseline in realism.
mircea_popescu: bwahahaha habermas is not quite as smart as previously believed.
mircea_popescu: "Global terrorism is extreme both in its lack of realistic goals and in its cynical exploitation of the vulnerability of complex systems."
mircea_popescu: check it out, ethereum needed moneyz so it sold its s.mpoe participation.
mircea_popescu: what would you say the "intuitive meaning" of A'j is ?
mircea_popescu: let there be a monotonous measurable system S. let Mi be measurements made at moments-in-time Ti. let average-per-unit-time delta values be reported for each Ti as Ai = (Mi - Mi-1) / (Ti - Ti-1). let an arbitrary "reporting unit" R be defined so that a finite count of Ti fit in each such unit Rj. Let Ais be plainly averaged so that A' = (Ak +...+ Am) / (m-k) where k, m are the first and last i's for Tis fitting in Rj.
mircea_popescu: a question for the mathematically inclined practical minds in the audience :
mircea_popescu: i would suspect there's more random common law criminals being shielded by the usg from various jurisdictions than there are successful prosecutions in any given year.
mircea_popescu: hey, romania still has an unsatisfied arrest warrant for some us derp that got drunk and ran over some relatively popular singer guy.
mircea_popescu: "The intelligence official, identified as William George Basil, was accused of espionage and eavesdropping. But by then he had already left the country, and the U.S. government, as it has done for the past 10 years, continues to stonewall Greek authorities on the agency’s involvement."
mircea_popescu: just another offshot branch off the same nonsense tree.
mircea_popescu: they've mostly (80% or so) burned through the ~10k actual dollars they had available for this highschool play, which is about what you'd exp[ect for six months' entertainment
mircea_popescu: altogether a marginally better showing than garza's "buyout at $20" plan.
mircea_popescu: rket value, right ? notwithstanding that mp has nixed ripple back when it was still called colored coins, and notwithstanding that this ripple reimplementation is even failful-er than the previous one).
mircea_popescu: the whole "ethereum" story is, mr alienface and some junior profs at umaryland scammed that university for a little space and morning coffees ; he lied about the few hundred BTC available as being tens of thousands, and did some fraudulent moves to "prove" this ; he lied about "expenses" to explain why the capital he claimed to have doesn't in fact exist (but hey, he "spent it" for ethereum, which is good and builds ma
mircea_popescu: this would be mostly because "people" didn't put 37k in that.
mircea_popescu: who knows. the venetians spent all their time training the girls to be whores, lost to charles on the field then won in the bedroom.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: woman has 12 kids and feeds them off 2k income ? good for her.
mircea_popescu: which is perhaps why it's a big idea to stop pestering people.
mircea_popescu: those differences drastically favour the jews, india and china. perhaps in that order.
mircea_popescu: yeah. but even the western yurpeans favour narrow waists and wide butts.
mircea_popescu: that given, gotta figure something out to survive, and hey, education may be it.
mircea_popescu: it's not clear that "they're more about education" , or that their cunts just don't work worth a crap.
mircea_popescu: there's even a line delineating the "poorly productive females" half of europe, and it was drawn in the 1800s
mircea_popescu: some races compete on spawn. western european folk (not to be confused with white folk, or for that matter with caucasians) do not.
mircea_popescu: well then i dunno what you mean. the us has had low birth rate since before it was "developed", ie a century ago. england has had low birth rate throughout it's four centuries of being developed. china had lower birth rate in its undeveloped 80s than it does today.
mircea_popescu: roughly equivalent to "naturalized illegal alien" or somesuch today.
mircea_popescu: and she BECAME a free woman. in her lifetime. which is barely lowest -1.
mircea_popescu: lowest caste women could perfectly finely spawn highest caste men. there's absolutely no relation between class and reproduction.
mircea_popescu: exactly. with the exception of roxy the kidnapped ukrainian, two centuries of high class progeny was carried on the bosoms and thigs of SLAVES.
mircea_popescu: specifically : do you know how many ottoman sultans had wives ?
mircea_popescu: reproduction and class are strictly unrelated considerations. in fact, they do not even share any common space at all - there isn't a way to define "class" so that reproduction can be made meaningful or vice-versa.
mircea_popescu: in a world of a billion, you will never ever reach the end of breathtaking.
mircea_popescu: if you live in a country of 1mn, you'll see some passible ass.
mircea_popescu: to put that objection in more practically comprehensible terms : if you live in a village of 100, the prettiest girl you ever see in your life will be ugly.
mircea_popescu: those women on welfare, with a dozen kids, ARE doing their job, right ? and splendidly at that, natality ain't easy.
mircea_popescu: "we're poor, hungry and tired" "so what do you want ?" "more work."
mircea_popescu: so why are blacks marching for "respect" which can not be given, instead of marching for "more homework" which would instantly, and absolutedly, deliver that respect ? EARNED respect ?
mircea_popescu: it is an astonishingly beautiful point. it generally takes a ~bright~ and very talented slavegirl 18 months or more before her desires go from more chocolate and less beatings to being given harder tasks. and she finds herself in an incredibly powerful, carefully engineered self-improvement-atron.
mircea_popescu: "Why is schooling so poor for black children? To begin with, because blacks have little enthusiasm for academics. Blacks have demonstrated for an end to discrimination, more welfare, less brutality by police, greater rights, more pay, and greater respect. They do not march for more homework, harder courses, thicker texts with larger words and smaller pictures."
mircea_popescu: that's the gender role since the begining : woman spits out maggots from her maggot hole and man figures out which she may get to keep.
mircea_popescu: it keeps women from devolving into the wasp nest dvorkin'd live in, of her own devices.
mircea_popescu: incidentally - dvorkin happens to be pretty much correct. male sexuality IS fundamentally contempt for all life. not for life in particular, but for life in the universal, for the life of maggots and cockroaches and everything else teemingly and indistinctly alive. and as such it is both fundamentally important and functionally required,
mircea_popescu: ms, use the dark for cover, find in the dark solace, sanctuary, cover."
