mircea_popescu: "we are lying through our teeth and if yo usay this you gotta explain our crankbait"
mircea_popescu: Let’s get serious here – if you think the government is cooking all manner of economic releases, you need to explain the LFPR."
mircea_popescu: thing we can’t do with a little moxie and an Excel spreadsheet or two. (Jeb! – that 4% growth rate you’re pining for? Call me.)
mircea_popescu: "My commitment to the American people is both simple and straightforward: I will cook any and every number that needs to be cooked. We’ll see continued job growth, probably an unemployment rate under 2 percent. You also have my word that I’ll keep the LFPR above 66 percent. With a little help from my friends, we can probably run a surplus within a year or so, and pay down all our debt over the next decade or so. No
mircea_popescu: but anyways. he does get the point about how there's no thieves and police, but unsanctioned criminals and sanctioned criminals.

mircea_popescu: no locals engaging ? of course no locals. don't worry abut it, usg will ship foreign armed thugs across the border for as long as it takes you to kill it.

mircea_popescu: "On the eve of what may likely be another effort by the white liberal media to fan the flames of race war in Baltimore, I’m not seeing as much flammable human material as the media priesthood would have us believe. Surely there will be enough entitled racist foot soldiers to set another 154 fires at least, to empty another four dozen pharmacies and liquor stores, terrorizing more of their fellow blacks than anyone.
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: Seemingly. Seemingly, to the untrained eye, I can fully understand how you got that impression. What looked like pushing...what looked like knocking down...was a safety precaution! In a fire, you stay close to the ground, am I right? And when I ran out that door, I was not leaving anyone behind! Oh, quite the contrary! I risked my life making sure that exit was clear. Any other questions?
mircea_popescu: ROBIN: But I saw you push the women and children out of the way in a mad panic! I saw you knock them down! And when you ran out, you left everyone behind!
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: Because! Because, as the leader...if I die...then all hope is lost! Who would lead? The clown? Instead of castigating me, you should all be thanking me. What kind of a topsy-turvy world do we live in, where heroes are cast as villains? Brave men as cowards?
mircea_popescu: GEORGE (voice is hoarse from screaming): I...was trying to lead the way. We needed a leader! Someone to lead the way to safety.
mircea_popescu: "We are all now well aware that the authorities will do absolutely nothing to protect citizens or businesses and will dedicated %100 of their resources to protecting the police and government personnel and facilities."

mircea_popescu: because rather than paying dues where they are due, how about we just steal their history and pretend it's this guy's instead. he's cheaper)
mircea_popescu: (they also blew up bernadotte. who, amusingly, is very much the character schindler's list is based on, except not named.

I see the reddit-gen programmers talk about things on a completely meta-level. To them, MySql is the hardware. Is it a bad thing? Not necessarily. Some of them hopefully will dig down the stack and be the low-level heroes. But that should (and probably can) only be a small percentage.
mircea_popescu: they should just buy it and run it togeoops nevermind.
mircea_popescu: The same sort of creativity artists possess, who work with media that are idiosyncratic.
mircea_popescu: "What creativity can there be when your medium is shit mixed with sawdust?"
mircea_popescu: (and since we're doing historical recovery here : the "shame and war" quote comes from churchill, but specifically - it was in a letter to walter guiness. who was assassinated in 1944. by lehi, which was a sort of jdf of the time)
mircea_popescu: oh, there isn't a word for that so it isn't a thing ? or what ?
