mircea_popescu: and
the conclusion "because it's fucking dumb" is perfectly reasonable.
mircea_popescu: note
that it's not "why does flea drink blood", it's "why does mosquito female eschew nectar diet which WOULD allow it
to deliver eggs
that are viable ; and instead risk its life
trying
to suck blood out of people, which results in 100% mortality in plenty of cases".

taleb correctly points out,
the jews' misunderstanding of
this fundamental point is what drives a lot of
their inept policy. such as you know, "how
to make ghetos better ? BANKRUPT MIDDLE CLASS WHITE PEOPLE!!!
then
they'll move in
the gheto and smoking mothers are protective for
the baby!"
mircea_popescu: also as
taleb correctly points out,
this example is just a very good example, but not
the whole story. what it exemplifies is
the ineptitude of a class of people, whom we call jews, and whom we wish
to see in camps.
these people understand some - enough
to be harmful - but not enough, so as
to be useful.
they are worse
than stupid, because of
this familiarity with first order but incapacity for higher order reasoning.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: because low weight babies have much poorer prospects
than normal babies, and because smoking mothers cause a significant migration of
their babies from normal
to low weight,
they "drown out"
the other causes, getting apparent "better" prognosis (hey,
the kid's not afflicted by
trisomy with a 90% death before puberty prognosis ; but merely by smoking mom, with a 1% death before puberty prognosis)
mircea_popescu: the reason for
this apparent paradox ("how can kids do ok in A and better in B yet still do worse in A+B ?!) is
that smoking CAUSES low birth weight ; but
there are also other causes of low birth weight which also have a much more severe impact on life/survival expectancy
than smoking.
mircea_popescu: however, ignoring
the distinction, one can also make
the observation
that children born
to smoking mothers fare significantly worse
than
the general population.
mircea_popescu: on
the basis of
this much statistics, one could conclude (wrongly)
that smoking in
the mother is protective for
the neonate.
mircea_popescu: once people become interested in smoking, it was observed
that smoking mothers' babies of normal weight fare no better or worse
than
the general population ; whereas smoking mothers' babies of low weigh fare ~significantly~ better
than
the general population (of low birth weight babies).
mircea_popescu: and since
taleb's
twitter is full of "simpson's paradox", let's add it
to
the record. it is universally
the case
that low birth weight is a predictor of infant mortality.
this has been observed across centuries and across cultures/geographies. even if
the exact value
that contitutes "low birth weight" varies,
the effects of
the classification are ubiquitous.
mircea_popescu: almost as if we shared
talking points on a napkin. which we haven't, but
there it is.
the iyi/jews in question'd be excused if
they
thought "massive right wing conspiracy", because hey.
mircea_popescu: islam has won
the fitness race ; chiefly because
the "swj" replacement for "fundamentalist christian" is SO FUCKING UNFIT, even islam has a chance. as well as gasteropodes and other dead branches
that forgot
to die out.
mircea_popescu: "oh no mp, you got it all wrong" "sure, sure.
tell me you'd crack
the skull of some dude fucking your friendzone. right now." "uh." "then sit down."

Framedragger: i also liked
the part where if javascript is given a file and it doesn't recognize if it's a js file, it'll just
try
to eval it, for good measure, in case it is js.

Framedragger: so
the conflict

to use at which dinner course, have had
tremendous orthodontics, be able

to a reception in a wide variety of long-wheelbase luxury sedans, be able
to hold a conversation with most any iyi regardless of background, what all's entailed ?
pete_dushenski: but now

☟︎ BingoBoingo: Anyways
the
Trumpreich application allows selecting for multiple positions and departments.
ben_vulpes: trumpenreich has such a better sound

that aside, it all boils down
to
the ancient (here and iirc on
trilema
too) "what's
the devil have
to pay you
to love him"
thing.
ben_vulpes: devil will have
to get off his arse and make me an offer for my
time.
ben_vulpes: legs parallel
to bed or at an angle from
that as well?
mircea_popescu: depends on weight. if she's
too light it runs away far above what you can
touch ; if more fat
than a 2-3% or so it dampens.
mircea_popescu: no, as her
thighs and pubic muscles lock she produces
this assemblage which resonates somewhere around 1.3-1.7hz
mircea_popescu: you know, when woman (that's a) sufficiently
toned and b) sufficently meaty, esp on ass and
thighs) spreads her legs 60° with knees straight. so you can momentum-fuck her.
trinque: yeah but
two I find interesting!
mircea_popescu: incidentally, how many fellows here present have discovered
the wonder of
the sixty degree fuck ?
mircea_popescu: well
trump doesn't have
the obamaproblem. for one
thing - grabbing. for
the other, he has some practice with "on your back, mel"
trinque: "I'm gonna go
talk
to Merkel. I'm gonna do it."
mircea_popescu: trinque
there's
that many for
the ~same reason highschool dorks move in packs. WHAT IF A GIRL SAYS SOMETHING
BingoBoingo figures what's
the worst
that could happen. It's been a few years since
the FBI knocked on my door.
trinque: he shouldn't need
that many people
to
turn off lights and lock doors.
BingoBoingo: "Please describe why you hope

trump putting an add on craigslist or something?
BingoBoingo: Holy shit I'm already an elder statesman of

BingoBoingo: Anyways if I am in
the USDA maybe I can advance
the cause of complete bermudagrass eradication?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Because
that seems like a job for a Canadian and we are down
to one of
those.
mircea_popescu: why not something actually appropriate ?
TMSR envoy, something RSA, whatevs
BingoBoingo: "Under Secretary of Agriculture for Research, Education, and Economics" << Is
this pretentious enough
title for a lord infiltrating
the Great Again
to apply for or should I just go Secretary of Agriculture?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes but if you get
to inject code into any of
these shits,
the whole shebang where
they get imported collapses. say you hijack google's
tracking bs and put a sprinkling of
that in
there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe she's looking
to start a new life as grabee.

mircea_popescu: wtf, "here's
the
two pages of

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this is a spurious objection, you'd still have

mircea_popescu: client doesn't hold
the whole fucking dns db holy shit.
mircea_popescu: then if it is, whole
thing should just be central server.
mircea_popescu: finding out where
trilema.com should point just became o(blocks)
mircea_popescu: and not btc + "telegraph" for
the same reason - horribru data exchange profile.
