mircea_popescu: its realyl not hard to do, i did it on 2/2 bottles i tried
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think kakobrekla has it. the cap is an de facto valve. under high pressure its seal fails, as presusre drops it collapses and seals again, which builds pressure again etc
mircea_popescu: simple musical verification of this : all military marches are short musical phrases with a lot of percution and a lot of short measures. all dirges are the opposite.
mircea_popescu: the more often conscience flows get interrupted, the less subjective time is had.
mircea_popescu: roughly speaking, the time the subject perceives he has is a scalar computed as a function of the interruptions count in their brain.
mircea_popescu: course they'll live to regret it, but on the plus side, not so very many of them.
mircea_popescu: chetty to be honest, i think the only thing that's getting exterminated on the short and maybe medium term is your style of reasonable, golden middle sanity.
mircea_popescu: anyway, "author and activist" is becoming the new "singer-songwriter", which is what elevator girls became after waitress-and-model went out of fashion with greenwich village
mircea_popescu: anyway, i for one am muchly in favour of california and perhaps the entire us applying this novel thinking. for one thing, it's too expensive to find out what exactly the drawbacks of this ovular merging thing are other than by using voluntary subjects.
mircea_popescu: the solutions she comes up with all stem from her unwarranted premise that she's a whole and complete being.
mircea_popescu: chetty just a little misguided, imo. she perceives the problem correctly, there's too many idiots.
mircea_popescu: this derpage is so delicious lol. olg hags clinging to a social relevancy and political influence they never had and never will have. derp on, sisters!
mircea_popescu: happiness comes out of accepting one's condition, not of pretending pigs fly and similar nonsense.
mircea_popescu: the future, if there is one, is happy identification as slaves for the people who are, for very good reason, exactly that.
mircea_popescu: so there you have it, perfectly good reason to oppose libertard environmentalism, along with the rest of women-studies driven libertardism.
mircea_popescu: Such a prospect is attractive to women who feel that if they bear sons no amount of love and care and nonsexist training will save those sons from a culture where male violence is institutionalized and revered. These are women saying, “No more sons. We will not spend twenty years of our lives raising a potential rapist, a potential batterer, a potential Big Man.”
mircea_popescu: [I]f women are given the freedom of their bodies then they may well choose [experimental "ovular merging" technology that produces only female embryos] in great enough numbers to make a significant difference in the sex ratio of women to men. A 75% female to 25% male ratio could be achieved in one generation if one-half of a population reproduced heterosexually and one-half by ovular merging.
mircea_popescu: We now come to a critical point: how is such a reduction in the male population to take place? One option is of course male infanticide. It differs very little from the female infanticide that has apparently been carried out even into the twentieth century by some cultures. Such an alternative is clearly distasteful and would not constitute creative social change. . . .
mircea_popescu: To secure a world of female values and female freedom we must, I believe, add one more element to the structure of the future: the ratio of men to women must be radically reduced so that men approximate only ten percent of the total population. . . .
mircea_popescu: ogative of any man. I suggest that lesbians and other independent women are already moving in this direction. . . .
mircea_popescu: In every culture it must be women in charge of the changes: women-identified women, no women who are pawns of men, not women who out of their fear of losing their lives or those of their children, still hold to the securities of that dangerous patriarchal culture, but women utterly free of coercion, free of male influence and committed to the principle that the right of species regulation is their own, and not the prer
mircea_popescu: ren men think are necessary to perpetuate the tribe or the religion or the specific culture. Instead they will bear the children that they want, that they can care for, and that they assess are needed by the specific group and the entire species. . . .
mircea_popescu: Women will bear the number of children they know can be sustained not just by their own social group but by the wide ecological system. They will not bear the children that some man wants only to perpetuate his name or the family possession of his property; they will not bear the children they presently convince themselves they must have because their only role is obedient wife and mother; women will not have the child
mircea_popescu: ent any male’s say-so in the process of reproduction. Create and protect alternative structures of economic and psychological support for independent women — women not attached to men — who are child-bearers and child-raisers. . . .
mircea_popescu: Make the decision entirely that of the woman as to how she will be impregnated and how often, if indeed she chooses to be so at all, and whether by heterosexual intercourse, artificial insemination or a form of ovular merging. Restore to each woman the inalienable right to say what shall become of any fertilized egg and to control absolutely the number of children she wishes to emerge from her body. . . . Make nonexist
mircea_popescu: To return species responsibility to women means in very practical terms that erotic and reproductive initiative must be restored to women all over the globe. . . .
mircea_popescu: At least three further requirements supplement the strategies of environmentalists if we are to create and preserve a less violent world. I) Every culture must begin to affirm a female future. II) Species responsibility must be returned to women in every culture. III) The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race. . . .
mircea_popescu: Enslaved by male-identification and years of practice within the system as we all still are to one degree or another, the assumption must be that the present system of monopoly capitalism and patriarchy must be replaced and that non-male-identified women must be the responsible ones. . . .
mircea_popescu: allow me to dump some nonsense for ready future reference.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves ah hum, maybe your ip range got banned in ddos mitigation.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is very true. same could be said of plastics themselves tho, early on
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suppose modern cars are all practically printed anyway
mircea_popescu: modern fucking browser, has autocorrect. doesn't think phosgene is a word, doesn't think any latin is a word, even common expressions, i do more correcting of it than it does correcting of me
mircea_popescu: the resulting flame covered like 800 comments or some shit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform other than cooking pork fat on burning coran pages, i once said that all old romanian people are scum for having been willing and eager commie sluts.
mircea_popescu: i have not come to this internet for people to be mean to me!
mircea_popescu: instead of joining the harem of a dominant male as slaves and enjoy all the concha they can eat, they derp about as independent shegoats, imagining that they can ever score anything this way. as motherfucking if.
mircea_popescu: hm, don't tell me she went underground to learn armenian or something.
mircea_popescu: chetty: jurov, well the premise probably not but the goal I suspect he would approve of << not really. i don't mind the bulk of male derpitude, just as long as my women insulate me from it. actual extermination tho is an iffy proposition, you'd end up with a huge bulk of marginal and nul women with nothing to occupy them. best not alter nature's balances.
mircea_popescu: ew planet each week and you have to both introduce a planet and tell a story all within a single episode.
mircea_popescu: On their Wagon Train to the Stars, our intrepid heroes come across a planet with a single defining characteristic. Everybody is a robot, or a gangster, or a Proud Warrior Race Guy, or an over-the-top actor, or wearing a Nice Hat. To some degree, this is unavoidable; you only have so much screen time or page space to develop and explore a culture. This is especially true in episodic series where the heroes travel to a n
mircea_popescu: jdanks: Well, I are engineer. I no talk good. But I math well. So I'd like to be let known if someone is crazy enough to start a town (; << ok so if you math well you must think good. what is the advantage of trying to implement irl a planet of hats ? it's a device of fiction, borne out of insufficiency of resources. here's your must-read:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlanetOfHats mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol: if mp buys an Island, I might move there << why an island dood. so idiots can try and blocade it all the time ? arent ddoses enough for you ?
mircea_popescu: lesbian chicks would like a little manhandling and dunno how to ask properly ? what else is new.
