asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the question that is of interest perhaps only to me, is whether mr mold has this 'smell' on account of character defect, or because he lives in a plesu-shaped box that he found no way of escaping
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: his entire thesis is that the more demented sects of puritanism merged together, shed the unnecessary legs and wings, and turned into usg as we know it (or rather, the original intellectual underpinnings thereof)
asciilifeform: moldbug, i will point out, speaks not one language save his native engl. that he was able to reconstruct even a semblance of coherent picture of anything while sitting in the anglo junkyard, is remarkable by itself
asciilifeform: i for one, when first encountered mircea_popescu's articles, scarfed'em up on account of a feeling of 'like mr mold but without the latter's impotent thrashing and cultural illiteracy'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: next you'll complain of melted brain on account of ancient chinese having had, almost word for word, euclid's gcd algo
asciilifeform: this is clear from the rest of the body of work
asciilifeform: mr mold was raised by diplomats and knows well what 'international community' shibboleth actually means
asciilifeform: but the tentacles are painted clearly enough
asciilifeform: granted he only shows a kind of silhouette of the monster (all he personally is able to see with own eyes)
asciilifeform: mr mold could be described as a founder of a very depressive sort of 'dismal science' - where a great many folks with no cultural literacy to speak of, no remotely-plausible avenue for constructive action, were led to realize approximately how their civilization anally raped itself
asciilifeform: almost like he was laying groundwork to turn into a top contender for 'was planning to kill hitler' after the fact
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a few months ago, i reread a selection of mr mold, and it struck me as loudly, profanely stinking of 'resistance through culture'
asciilifeform: some of whom imagined themselves 'resistance'
asciilifeform: fact is, there is not any meaningful resistance to usg on own turf. there are criminals who imagine themselves resisting, e.g., mexican mafia, but actually live in symbiosis with 'war on drugs'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu might say that it is because mr mold has no balls. i would say that i cannot comment on whether he has balls, but will point out that having a brain is a handicap if contemplating active resistance to usg, without support of foreign army, from inside its walls
asciilifeform: mr mold is an incorrigible subscriber to the particular flavour of mental wankery described as 'resistance through culture' in one of mircea_popescu's articles
asciilifeform: trinque: notice that it does not even occur to the tard to kill one of the ~actual~ architects of his misery
asciilifeform: yet the schmucks insist on demonstrating their (lack of) marksmanship with grandfather's pistol or whatnot
asciilifeform: for instance, it is widely (afaik) known that the highest-scoring 'postal' in usa used a bottle of ordinary petrol as the weapon
asciilifeform: decimation: i was arguing even beyond 'unable to comprehend the parts about how this kind of action is hopeless' to 'clinically retarded'
asciilifeform: decimation: the 'alt right'-sphere's fixation with rhodesia is - afaik - definitively traceable to mr mold
asciilifeform: i was expecting an analogy between receiving free energy from the aether and hypothetical easy short-circuit solution to problem of what to fuck
asciilifeform: only that the subject is of perennial interest to homo redditicus
asciilifeform: at any rate, i'm not an inquisitor and cannot comment re: whether the sisters were fucked in reality, or in imagination, and if so, whos
asciilifeform: this particular subject being 'phillippinized' would be almost equally strange as were the reports genuine
asciilifeform: there was a reddit 'ama' thread linked here last year, where sisterfuckers chimed in by the battalions
asciilifeform: (as pictured for mass pr0nification in 'game of thrones' etc.)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my understanding is that folks who didn't get 'westermack-effected' for whatever reason, having sisters, are busy fucking them at this very minute
asciilifeform: mainly speaking from an ancient pet peeve of mine, where folks who slept through noether and even carnot often map '2nd law of thermo' to a childhood-received 'who does not work, does not eat' and think of it as a 1:1 map
asciilifeform: so it is not the best example of 'plainly impossible to any thinking person'
asciilifeform: incidentally, the final nail in the coffin of perpetuum mobile wasn't really driven in until emmy noether..
asciilifeform: to rephrase, elephant can be killed by hunter - with bullet, or spear even. but there are not enough chimps in all of africa to kill it by throwing own shit at it, even were all of the chimps to agree to this plan.
