asciilifeform: thing about mr mold is that the impotent thrashing is very much that of the prisoner 'turning inward', as pictured in 'chess novella'
asciilifeform: dont think so
asciilifeform: from mircea_popescu's articles
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: just as there were smugglers in ussr
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: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-05-2014#691525 ☝︎
asciilifeform: !s killdozer
asciilifeform: and notice, there was no army of killdozers to follow heevmeyer.
asciilifeform: best-known instance is probably 'killdozer'
asciilifeform: end result, best case, probably would resemble http://trilema.com/nobody-could-have-foreseen-their-using-a-plane-like-a-rocket
asciilifeform: the non-retarded version of this, where a fella spends 20 years in his garage building the 'strela', afaik has not yet happened.
asciilifeform: i will describe, for the benefit of n00bz, the typical career path of 'let's resist usg through action' in usgland: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-04-2014#623044 ☝︎☟︎
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: decimation: 90s
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: 3) ??? 4) profit!!11!!
asciilifeform: (mostly newsblackouted)
asciilifeform: decimation: iirc thread was about 'police station postal' of about the same time
asciilifeform not expert
asciilifeform: (female, for whatever reason isn't successfully escaping, etc.)
asciilifeform: back to the sisters, my understanding is that if 'westermarck' fails, they work just as well as arranged-wives and the like
asciilifeform: (turned out, the sign means 'neighborhood watch!' and depicts a crossed-out 'spy vs spy' figure)
asciilifeform: (edge of the earth?)
asciilifeform: poor sailboat is just short of sailing off the cliff.
asciilifeform: when i moved here, as a boy, i was constantly puzzled as to why whole wash.,d.c. region is covered in signs depicting... a ship going uphill! >> http://www.lehi-ut.gov/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/snap.a1.gif
asciilifeform: speaking of!
asciilifeform has no sisters
asciilifeform: might want to ask the aficionados
asciilifeform: 'accessible' ?
asciilifeform: 'easy' is perhaps not right word
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: 'for the exact same reasons'
asciilifeform: what reasons specifically ?
asciilifeform: at least once was.
asciilifeform: (and to fans of 'thrones')
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: (unless they are all philipinos...)
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: whereas it is anything but
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: l0l
asciilifeform: (and the impression i got was that the dunbaricity was the ~only~ thing that made the mechanics halfway plausible..?)
asciilifeform: no?
asciilifeform: hence the informal 'coin'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: also the implication in the story was that the 'gands' lived in dunbar-number villages
asciilifeform: rather than recipe for life
asciilifeform: anyway linked piece on account of 'magic power of saying fuckyou no' subject
asciilifeform: (on earth, we know that this does not happen, sure.)
asciilifeform: author would probably answer 'jew lands and will die of problems before he gets so much as a gram rather than pound of flesh'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what i meant was, extract a lesson from the story, or extract the juice from the folks portrayed therein
asciilifeform: extract out of what
asciilifeform: wai wut
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-06-2015#1169903 << deadly boring on account of none of the material being in any way new (to anyone with even a faint interest in the subject) whatsoever. ☝︎
asciilifeform wanders off to pet pet
asciilifeform: and results in equal amount of 'what am i, the single ant, to do, wtf' after reading.
asciilifeform: has pretty much the same point as mircea_popescu's explanation earlier
asciilifeform: ^ classic, on subject
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://www.abelard.org/e-f-russell.php << mega-relevant
asciilifeform: cats 'act from cause, never from purpose' but still have not invented fishing pole.
asciilifeform: perhaps go back to the observation: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=19-06-2015#1169229 ☝︎
asciilifeform: the lsd naturally secreted in my skullcase, apparently does not suffice
asciilifeform: well, is it possible for me to apprehend the correct terms, whatever they might be, or do i need some of nubbins's lsd ?
asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo today i saw the classic 'mosin' for sale; costing roughly 3x what i last remember seeing...
asciilifeform: (or i imagine that it would, if it could)
asciilifeform: elephant - laughs.
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.
asciilifeform: usg bought it at fire sale
asciilifeform: english empire survives!
asciilifeform: without a visible dent
asciilifeform: when i say 'ineffective,' my thought is 'usg can survive as many of these as are ever likely to appear'
asciilifeform: at the very least, enemy cannot simply shrug and ignore burned train
asciilifeform: one fewer german, one fewer train, tank
asciilifeform: partizans - cared
asciilifeform: and why
asciilifeform: my original observation was that the folks who have the mental chops to bring about four, five-figure body counts - do not.
asciilifeform: but by crowd that reached 'schelling point'
