mircea_popescu: when you get startled you aslo "short of fusebox".
the objection is at best disingenuous.
mircea_popescu: sure, if you're a fuycking weirdo you may benefit from such nonsense. but a) it's a short
term
thing and b) whatevert you're doing, you're doing it wrongly, as evidenced by
this perceived need
to short out
the fuse box
mircea_popescu: is
this also a case of "o noes, mp is making shorting out hte fusebox into
the devil - it could be useful"
mircea_popescu: o noes, "i increased my capacity". well... i can increase
the "capacity" of my house circuitry right now, just short
the fusebox.
mircea_popescu: so far
the discussion is
that capacities vary FOR A REASON. a biological reason.
mircea_popescu: there is no fucking "categories". and
this is a fundamental problem here,
that you seem
to imagine for whatever reason
that
the world is a large collections of drawers with labels on
them.
adlai: the combustion engine alone can't follow lanes, or
tell apart an overhead sign from a crossing
trailer (the
tesla fatality)
mircea_popescu: moreover,
that
two
ten hour parties sum
to less
than one
twenty hour parties is unclear ;
that a hit
takes a hit out of you is certain.
adlai: quite analogous
to fuel quantity, although it's more of an additive
than a fuel
adlai: if
the problem is "go
twenty hours"
then
the dope works in
that you can pick a dose and go
mircea_popescu: it's like
talking
to bitcointalk i swear. "x works ; y doesn't" "no y is not
the devil" "nobody said it is" "but it could work" "has it ?" "i dunno" "then wtf are you on about ?"
mircea_popescu: good
thing we spent half hour re-establishing
the obvious
that alf doesn't like.
mircea_popescu: i can dose your daughter/sister/wife so she can party "like an animal" on
the basis of seeing her naked and knowing how long
the party lasts.
that's what "speedballs work" means.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker. if
the problem is "go
ten miles"
then
the fucking combustion engine works in
that i can
tell you a fucking fuel qty value.
mircea_popescu: i can buy by
the kg if need be, and i'd like
to find a way
to classify assym cyphers meaningfully. say a number.
mircea_popescu: so what problem will i be able
to solve if i
take how much dextroamphetamine ?
mircea_popescu: while
there's not a single example of "high cns function helped by chemical", you can
take ps hoffman as a fine example of "idiot enhanced himself"
mircea_popescu: i dunno whence "the devil" comes from, but
that aisde,
the point was
that speedballing does work, if with miserable side effects ; whereas smartrophine or w/e
the shit is hoped
to work, by a certain demographic.
mircea_popescu: we've moved from "i'll make
this music better by increasing output volume" heavy metal fan approach
to "i'll make
this music better by speeding up
the
tape". welcome
to
the rap game yo!
mircea_popescu: this regulates firing. not glucose usage on one end ; not rational activity on
the other.
gribble: gabriel_laddel was last seen in #trilema 4 weeks, 2 days, 8 hours, 49 minutes, and 53 seconds ago: <gabriel_laddel> wtf else are you going
to do?
mircea_popescu: ~the only reason
the complicated glucose/lipid interface even exists in
the liver is
that muscle can't protect itself from brain
mircea_popescu: here's a newsflash :
there's no mechanism
to downregulate brain consumption of glucose, outside of
the natural.
mircea_popescu: you seriously imagine it's a matter of "if i just increased
the voltage of
the south bus, i'd have
twice as much ram" ? what is
this, 15yo-overclockers-anonymous ?
mircea_popescu: then i don't
think much of your biological model of rationality, either.
mircea_popescu: "the performance of my inflamatory cascade has been enhanced. asa result i am not going
to die from
this beesting"
mircea_popescu: we weren't discussing it in
the general context. fucking obviously doping works at some point, hence inflamation supression.
mircea_popescu: yes, but we were discussing it in
the context of your "i wanna solve
theorems"
mircea_popescu: stop being a
tightass. speedballing is
the ~only performance doping actually shown
to work.
mircea_popescu: it's not "they have
the energy", it's "they actually care" + "they have
the recuperative power".
mircea_popescu: it's not a kind of "genetic engineering" of
the "magical" kind seen in ~cartoons, "this spider
touched radioactive superglue at
the same
time as
this janitor"
mircea_popescu: it's a kind of dentistry - children don't need it,
they got milk
teeth.
mircea_popescu: it's point is not
to make a mousy 15 yo into a
total pool party slut. its point is
to recover an aging slut, so
that she gets a 2nd run starting in her 30s sometime.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
think you deeply misunderstand
this
technological item,
the silicone
tits.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, it was "stop being
the fucking idiot who
thinks he's going
to '''improve''' a series car in his fucking garage with a rusty old nail and a blowtorch".
mircea_popescu: there's
two kinds of pretty blonde girls
that grow double d
tits
their 15th year :
the kind
to whose
the
tits are a boon ; and
the kind
to whose
the
tits are a curse.
mircea_popescu: this is a purely sexual matter. yes,
the guy was hot as all fuck.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what your symbols are
typical shorthand for.
mircea_popescu: im sure
the first few "buy viagra" emails were also widely read.
mircea_popescu: the ~only reason
they didn't fill
the asylums at
that
time has
to do with
the relative naivite of spamfilters.
mircea_popescu: for one
thing,
there was no shortage of napoleons, even at
the
time of napoleon.
mircea_popescu: you can not "BE" napoleon ffs. what is with all
this label-based categorical
thinking.
mircea_popescu: napoleon is essentially 1700s herostratus. a more successful histrion, but
that's a matter of circumstance mostly.
mircea_popescu: and generally stop with
the fucking
titulature ; between
the dizzy cow who
thinks herself "an expert on geopolitics" for having a geopolitics degree from geopolitics university and alf
thinking himself a "jet fighter" for reason of
the rule of cool - no difference.
