mircea_popescu: so for some reason, argentina envelopes don't have any glue. so
they fucking staple
them shut.
trinque: how bout
the valley is
the shenzen of useless apps and ponzis
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> state of wv has some (nominally) unencumbered land, but you will need
tracked vehicle
to get
to it. <<
This is problem why?
Tracked vehicle seems like small cost.
phf: while at it, let's also mention
that pilot's self clearing book has some handy nlp's style exercises, and will give you a general idea as
to what sci core
training is about (sealing
the deal on
the whole suppresive
thing)
phf: i
think
there are different levels and roles within
the system, but i know for a fact
that sci people are effective at bureaucrat,
there's a number of
them at capitol hill, doing internships with senators... (if we haven't before,
t-a is now definitely suppresive)
☟︎ trinque: and if you're nobody, you're
there
to be worked
to death and eaten
trinque: for someone with
the money/power, it's a
tax haven. donate cash
to scientology and
then spend it
through
the church.
phf: and if
there's one
thing
that any bureaucratic system craves it's junior ass lickers
phf: and
thereone
thing any bureaucratic system craves
phf: if judaica is good at producing bankers,
then sci is perfect for making junior ass lickers
trinque: they blackmailed usg into giving
them
tax exempt status
phf: i'm saying "why would
they need a nuke"
phf: why would
they need
to?
their whole set of processes is designed
to produce a healthy productive member of society (double positive intention),
they are ultimatley aligned with whatever establishment
they find
themselves in
davout: kind of like saying a farmer's job downside is having
to deal with
the cows
davout: on
the downside
they have
tom cruise
trinque: now
there's a success story... scientology
phf: ha,
they are registered as a church
phf: for example, i'm going
to
http://www.4qf.org coming weekend. place
throws all kinds of insane parties (used
to have
the best east coast psy
trance party before organizers moved elsewhere), but
they presumably do
that in addition
to
their default offering of what looks like "earth mother gaia healing" nonsense
phf: perhaps i could apprentice at one of
those operations first
phf: well,
there are places on
the east coast
that get away with all kinds of
things, between waivers, a legitimate cause, friendly neighboors, landscape, etc.
phf: yeah,
there were a few options, but
too far of a drive from philadelphia. now
that i'm in dc, i might
take a stab at wv
☟︎ phf: oh, you want
to have a welding shop on your property,
that's forms a,b,c,d and auxilary form e. naturally
there will be inspection
phf: as soon as
the neighboor sees a naked girl, complains
to authorities
phf: i was looking into buying land in Pennsylvania for
the purposes of
turning it into a kind of hippie retreat, kesey's "La Honda" style, and
the amount of hoops you need
to jump
through in order
to arrive at a cookie cutter american suburbs solution (and nothing else possible) is insane
phf: but you can't
take a piss without paperwork, cop and social worker
phf: if only form of mandatory participation was income
tax u.s. would be not a bad place
to live
phf: in u.s. in contrast every strata of population is mandated
to participate in some form of social program
that ultimately monetizes, "creates jobs", etc.
phf: well, it's something
that struck me when i went
to india, how poor
there are mostly left
the fuck alone. can live in a fishermen village, fish, make few rupies doing chores for
tourists
phf: perhaps when
there was less leverage, it made sense
to apply whipping enough
to men, now you need not bother, have all kinds of
tools
☟︎ BingoBoingo: "Nortek, a building products manufacturer based in Providence, Rhode Island" << Why does China need
them even with a bribe?
phf: hah,
that vietnam
thing is awesome, but also makes sense. asians love
their bikini girls, arabs "only
the best" money not an issue fucks
mircea_popescu: phf some derpy article re how vietnam airlines has bikini uniform and
THIS is why
the woman running it is making 1bn off
the ipo.
mircea_popescu: (which incidentally is an absolute bar
to any "woe me im poor". bitch,
takes six months
to learn how
to dance passibly, after which you do
the cruise circuit.)
phf: mircea_popescu: i missed
the vietnam reference
mircea_popescu: pretty boys willing
to fuck old women on cruises can charge even more.
phf: asciilifeform:
that's a specialty service
though, girl wouldn't be able
to make as much on
the ground
shinohai: mircea_popescu would
tremble at
the sight of
the "$40 specials" crowd on backpage.
phf: given
their stewardesses,
that sounds like emirates ad
shinohai: Sounds like an entrepreneur
to me, helping folks join mile-high club.
mircea_popescu: overton window problem. it's one
thing
to repudiate junk when purported
to come from person ; it's another
thing
to repudiate junk when purported
to come from known garbage dweller.
mircea_popescu: but certainly god fucking help
the harem where I ACCEPT
THAT.
mircea_popescu: god fucking help
the slavegirl
that says "oh, beating me's not worth it, i'll do
the bad anyway"
mircea_popescu: which is exactly how
the state works : by getting
the males castrated, which is
to say saying
this, exactly.
mircea_popescu: notrly.
the concern is
that
the jwz is easily discouraged, and rather
than
take reasonable steps, he
takes no steps, "because it's not worth it anyway"
mircea_popescu: i also can't mathematicaly prove
that "no more bugs will get in", nor is
this a consideration when i fumigate.
mircea_popescu: sure, sure. neither of
these are compatible with "twitter deleted my
tweets".
mircea_popescu: so what's
this fallacy called
then, i forget ? "classification fallacy" ?
mircea_popescu: and a platonician will protest
that "they're all
the same kind" and you'll say "no i can subdivide
them as i like". sure you can, but it's not necessarily meaningful. depends what you aim
to do with
the classes.
