asciilifeform: folx arr agitated for a few decades and then wagner. such is life
asciilifeform: asciilifeform is agitated since ~birth. who did this ?
mircea_popescu: but by now i suspect they're mostly artificially agitated.

asciilifeform: and holyshitt is that a lift with a fucking ORGAN in it?!
mircea_popescu: i don't think it is normal ; i think it was common, in america, in the 20th century. but not really otherwise.
asciilifeform: young folks - who still have life in'em and not ready for wagner - are agitated, this is normal..
mircea_popescu: heck, if supercharged enough IT CAN EVEN GO TO 1880 and still nada.
mircea_popescu: a supercharged tachyon can traverse the whole galaxy and not find any matter to interact with.
mircea_popescu: 3) mostly because they're too fucking agitated.
asciilifeform: fact is, everyone knows 1) meaningful life exists 2) but entirely out of reach for them, like alpha centauri
mircea_popescu: these dudes/dudettes figuring "they should change the world" or w/e the fuck they're figuring, i have no idea. average joe on a mission of ruining his own life because too much tv.
mircea_popescu: i just meant settle down in the general sense ; they're kids that ate too much sugary goop.
mircea_popescu: have some tea and go to bed what!
mircea_popescu: this is the trouble with "modern democracy"-es throughout history, they overinnervate the average joe. it's like amphetamine on a historical scale.
mircea_popescu: how about just settling the fuck down.
mircea_popescu: which goes right back to the whole marriage thing. all the derps excited about how "woman loves to be raped" fail to comprehend that NOT BY YOU OMFG. yes, by that guy, to whom anything is allowed, he can piss on her shirt buttons and she'll save them in her secret girly jool box. what's that do for average joe.

mircea_popescu: 1880 is more barnum than it is a huxley.
mircea_popescu: they certainly had him then.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea, but i am persuaded such planet'd suck big time.
mircea_popescu: and just the fact that i can say what i want, and then it magically appears while i irc... what restaurant can do this.
pete_dushenski: (latter isn't real thing, yet)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re mega-quote, what do i pay to visit planet where there can be no pdiddy?
mircea_popescu: and i'm sure they're makin' someone happy.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-25 23:24 mircea_popescu: there's no way for mass market restaurant to compete with dedicated cook of your own training ; not if you're of any taste at least.
a111: Logged on 2015-02-21 01:19 mircea_popescu: "she's been going through 6-7k each month since autumn, but i get to go visit p diddy whenever i feel like it. it's a wash"

mircea_popescu: there's no way for mass market restaurant to compete with dedicated cook of your own training ; not if you're of any taste at least. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i was not even thinking of anything under 100 a plate tbh.
ben_vulpes: and if one gets enough of it, even the $20/plate shit starts to lose its appeal. "what did you bring me? and at what speed? i get better at home in my underwear, and it's salted properly to boot."
mircea_popescu: and on it goes in that manner.
mircea_popescu: girls do a lot of home cooking. you've never had better bread ; or sweets ; or sauces of all kinds ; or soups, or what have you. but is it cheap or is it expensive ? they can not beat the 2.50 mcd meal ; or the 7 dollars for a pound of hershey's sugar goop. which is what people usually complaining of the cost of "natural living" usually eat.
mircea_popescu: that's what you attempt to do by moving it into the field of plainer mechanics - but it also becomes very banal for the move.
mircea_popescu: tis not a problem of means and averages asciilifeform ; tis a problem of the definition of terms. there's always exceptions, what's "children" mean, what's "smoking" to be etcetera. and there's no properly systematic way to solve these in any field that is interesting. ☟︎
