mircea_popescu: i can't imagine who'd seriously claim fucking teen's offensive ; but i can certainly see the schadenfreunde.
mircea_popescu: basically, the zek's model is elliot ; but the pantsuitklatura's model is hamby.
mircea_popescu: the originally linked pedo, very similarly, "how could MY government not stopped bitcoin as i predicted by=yearly since 2012!!"
mircea_popescu: see, but this is precisely what i'm saying... "why is my community organizing not doing anything".
mircea_popescu: o damn, the "law of attraction" magix. not to be forgotten.
mircea_popescu: but because his ~earned~ magic, of communityorganizing, failed to deliver the result printed on box.
mircea_popescu: that'd be the prototypical "community organizer" who is very angry not because, as elliot, "his birthright" of tall blond nubiles was denied him
mircea_popescu: "but teach, this is so unfair, those other guys didn't even do this much!" sorta complaints.
mircea_popescu: anyway, leaving behind the point -- there's a lot of frustration among "community organizers" (as the niggers prefer to call themselves) when they DO manage to community-organize and nothing fucking happens still.
mircea_popescu: meh can't fucking find it. some pantsuit-in-alt-colors prop derping about how unfair it is that his followers don't follow, and how much he spent having a security detail to eat sushi
mircea_popescu: i'm too lazy to dig up that twittertwat's lament recently linked.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the "alt right" dorks have no genuine driver for community. the pedos gotta trade the pics, there's no way out of this, they'll commune. the "nazis" don't have the driver, which is why they don't manage to amount to much, and hence plaintive lulz all around.
mircea_popescu: it's eternaly fascinated, for the zoologist, what portions of the human become visible to the goats and when.
mircea_popescu: "read some fucking history", ie, the holy logs, is arguably (at least, from an usg.blue "expert"'s pov) the ~only innovation we bring.
mircea_popescu: so ... "follow your own mind, irrespective of anything" PLUS "find others like you" creates... well, before tmsr, it created the only hot core of creation in the empire. hence wikipedia, hence reddit, and so on.
mircea_popescu: whereas the thing with pedos is that they're one step further on the path -- "we have a BROTHERHOOD". pedophilia in the modern sense is a deeply communal activity -- the more people jacking off to the same videos of beheaded children, the more sustainable the activity of beheading childrten.
mircea_popescu: it's one step towards republican awakening, sure, "use the fucking noggin". but it's not much by itself.
mircea_popescu: "cool hackers" means jack shit, what is it, kids trying to impress schoolmates ? menalone going their cool way ? what ?
mircea_popescu: imo the proposed thought process completely explanatory of the entire menagerie.
mircea_popescu: speaking of monstrosities like
http://btcbase.org/log/2015-01-31#999165 -- i suppose the deep driver of their unhappiness is precisely this, "1990s pedos made wikipedia seem like it's a big deal, and 2000s pedos made reddit seem like it's a big deal. why can't we 2010s pedos make lesswrong/whatever pedo trading post seem like it's a big deal ?!!? god only knows we're the gays of a century ago, god-gifted with the only creativ
☝︎ mircea_popescu: sadly what he thought was the republic was the previous decade's reddit, "outgrowth of a pedo picture trading club"
mircea_popescu: he wanted to use his skill to help what he thought was the republic flourish.
mircea_popescu: the log as it is is the log as it is is the log, as it is.
mircea_popescu: because we've actually and for once "moved beyond that"
mircea_popescu: but see, THIS is why no old world encyclopedia no more.
mircea_popescu: problem with logs or en trilema is that is not yet finished.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform now thing for a moment --- "random day of logs". suddenly...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but WHAT actual encyclopedia ? no actual men did no actual things in 70 years!
mircea_popescu: separated from the jews "doing great business together", the paintings accidentally destroyed by laundry women go back to their proper fishwrapping value.
mircea_popescu: which is eerily similar to what these shits ever sell on an open market, be it myspace, slashdot, or whatever else.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and if the latter was wortth maybe a few mn all told, the ENTREI instagram ~culture~ (again -- not just the site) is barely worth 10k.
mircea_popescu: aaanyways, i will go on the record to say that the ENTIRE instagram ~culture~, which includes the website, the "content creators", the clones, the conference circlejerk and everything else is an inferior replacement of 90s merkley???
mircea_popescu: the original reason encyclopedists were even a thing, in the 1800s, was that their product ~was worth reading~ in all cases. the ~entire use of an encyclopedia is for kids to open it randomly and read interesting things regardless.
mircea_popescu: you know there's women out there, going through every single endless warehouse, feeling between thumb and index every single item of clothing ? years on end like this, never found anything yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform precisely. and this supposedly "nascent" culture in our colonies died before it even fucking begun, drowned in this ever-giving gift of consumerism.
mircea_popescu: "i'm gay" "why ?" "because okcupid sucks and if i ask someone out at work they'll arrest me"
mircea_popescu: but as they're few and far between, well... "transsexuals".
mircea_popescu: if EVERY woman were in fact worth talking to, much more people could enjoy one.
mircea_popescu: as it stands right now, i and i alone, with the thin sliver of others who presumably exist and presumably can afford to sift through millions of fetlife tards can afford women.
mircea_popescu: the fact that ~every~ item you look at will turn out to have been ~worth~ looking at is overpowering -- because it makes a life of the mind accessible to much more people.
mircea_popescu: guy was pretty good, yeah. moreover, and importantly -- while his best always was over instagram's best, his EVERY ITEM was always above threshold. whereas instagram's AVERAGE item is always below threshold.
mircea_popescu: somehow instagram doesn't feel obligated to always prefix anything they do or say with "you know, we're the shitty merkley??? clone" though.
mircea_popescu: dude was in point of fact doing the whole instagram scene, by himself, AND BETTER, a decade earlier.
mircea_popescu:
https://threequestionmarks.com/the-photo-thing%3F%3F%3F << pretty great fucking sendoff, too. "Merkley??? spent a little over a decade with photoshop, naked people, pets and groceries and this is part of what came of it all. When the Kardashians and instagram hit the scene, he sorta lost interest in superficial physical beauty. I think you know what that's all about."
mircea_popescu: the key's not "lift finger to build", but rather "alter design on basis of reports from builders".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very insidious, this "you can imagine a world for yourself to live in". will take just as much as you got to give. i suppose it should be the fourth rider of apocalypse -- junkies, pleabargains, husbands and tulpas.
mircea_popescu: ave1 entirely poissible trinque 's right, ~random order.
mircea_popescu: approximately same relationship between junkie and addiction as between perdition and sin.
mircea_popescu: and years without a girl, still pined also. what's pinery to do with anything
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, all addicts get a fix now and again or else cold turkey out of it.
mircea_popescu: junkie is definitionally the drug user whose drug habit has produced biological changes.
mircea_popescu: no, junkie is definitionally... actually, there's a great film, in which al pacino is "about to quit, he's jsut chippin' anyway" and his brother tells his gf he ain't chippin, he's a user.
mircea_popescu: well... but i mean, what. speed freak on speed ? yes, evident. heroin addict on heroin ? yes fucking evident. cokehead ? yes.
mircea_popescu: whether great general or humble accountant, whether sohrab or nameless coward, takes some teasing out. but whether habit or not habit, evident at first sight even to the pigs/social workers.
mircea_popescu: i guess. from observation, it is somewhat difficult to distinguish specific talent in girls. i do this professionally, so to speak, and spend a lot of time/resources on it.
mircea_popescu: "men may be different, but all drunks are the same" or how did that bartender joke go
