mircea_popescu: yes, and
that'd be
the obviosu construction, but i'm unpersuaded. it dun fit.
mircea_popescu: ie,
the INDIVIDUAL as a "us item", aspirationally ; denied
the "su item" as a projection of his own, himself.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i believe it was really
the italian
thing ; except in a larger system composed of (individual-su space) vs (individual-us space)
mircea_popescu: value is merely an arbitrary, coincidental property of meaning.
they stand in a relation similar
to
the relation
the question "what;s
the sun's value
to us" stands with
the question "what's
the sun's meaning for us".
mircea_popescu: there is no such
thing as "worth" and "value" like you keep advancing
them.
there's only meaning.
mircea_popescu: no. whatever's perhaps meaningful
to someone somewhere.
mircea_popescu: but
the discussion mayn't reduce
to
this. mere lateral example.
mircea_popescu: less opposition
to buldozing an empty frame structure
than a "our home".
mircea_popescu: well, before buldozing you
take
the contents out right ?
mircea_popescu: it's not hidden, and it's not valuable. it's just
there.
mircea_popescu: you're stealing
the
thing you're stealing, not its meaning
to some arbitrarily chosen party. cunt is cunt and stays cunt, even if currently in a bored,
tedious marriage.
mircea_popescu: to imagine
that a horse in
the barn requires a man
to steal, but
the same horse out in
the field "is not so strongly owned so even a
toad could steal it" is nonsense.
mircea_popescu: something very close
to what
tmsr demonstrates on a daily basis when "hey, here's a hole, who wants
to fuck it" gets a hot rod ramming it within
the day.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey,
the premise is not
to be violated. when
the fuck did soros become
that powerful.
BingoBoingo: In other news
the popular press is referring
to
the company
that invented
the LED as a "seeds" company. Not even a chemical company anymore. Just a Burpee catalog with higher profit margins.
mircea_popescu: 3. you BUY all
the studios,
take
them apart, and reform a large alien studio out of
the parts.
this is
the end. hollywood will no longer mean anything
to anyone outside of what it means
to you.
mircea_popescu: 3. you create a major alien studio out of shit from
the spaceship.
this reduces
to either 1 or 2 ; generally
the mob will fluctuate and undulate and
try
to fuzz you out, see which of
the
two reductions works best for
them.
mircea_popescu: 2. you invest in all
the studios, and let
them manage it.
this will coallesce into a situation where you're "loved" in
the particular way
the mob loves. let's call it
the marc anthony situation, why
the hell not. you'll die at
their hands, eventually, somehow.
that's
their love.
mircea_popescu: 1. you kill anyone and everything
that displeases you.
this will coallesce
the more competent cunts around you, and unite
the idiots against you. let's call it
the swift scenario, for you're creating a confederacy of dounces.
mircea_popescu: now in
this situation, you have a number of possible avenues.
mircea_popescu: suppose you're an alien unicorn being of pure energy and infinite capacity. and you go
to hollywood.
mircea_popescu: same
thing murican oil magnates bought in milano cca 1886.
mircea_popescu: i keep having
to state
this, my counter was barely 16 bits and so it overran. how many 65536
times did i say it already ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nobody needs usd for any purpose ; nor does
that ~everyone extend past your pit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this happened once before, at
the very least. americans used
to go
to yurp and buy "art" in
the 1880s.
mircea_popescu: Well,
that's patriotism,
the girls in
this example show "love of
their ghetto" and
that's
the
thing upon which socialist Romania was built, if you're curious - a structure otherwise borrowed from Carlist Romania.
Totul pentru patrie!"
mircea_popescu: ested pressed shitboard nightstand. But indifferent
to all
these points,
they play a role
to support a
theory :
the
theory
that here
too, in
the assghetto of shit "we got fine stuff", and a John who, even if only four letters long, is still quite as great as any Mircea come from afar.
mircea_popescu: at his feet, just like
the other
two.
They're definitely not slavegirls,
they have neither
the
training nor
the skills nor in
the end
the needs or structure of
that relationship, and no marble columns, no gardens where water sprinkles among
the cypress nor artesian fountains springing forth marzipan await
them at home, but instead
the nude concrete walls,
the [low class mass produced kitsch wallhanging stuff],
the bedbug inf
mircea_popescu: " So we understand each other : John is some poor and kinda stupid kid from some ghetto in some indistinct
townlet. One day, Mircea
the Bad comes
there on whatever business, sits down in
the bar with his
two bitches curled up at his feet and drinks a rum or something.
The girls from
the ghetto, for love of
their country (in our example,
that sad ghetto) pick John up forcibly, sit him down at
the
table next
to mine and curl
mircea_popescu: at least in
the ru privatisation,
the driver was personal appetite, egotism, a will
to live.
that's good, no matter what
the losers say. fuck
the losers with a flaming spiked club.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not even a matter of sons ;
the usg has no sons, nor any vigor in
the seed. it's a matter of desperation - everything americans don't buy,
the chinese buy,
take apart and move
to china.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. damned zimbabwe, losing
tracks of zeros already
mircea_popescu: meanwhile 2 obama, 2 bush, 2 clinton and a bush sr back,
the share buybacks were 5%
that.
mircea_popescu: the past
ten years, share buybacks were ~3bn. of which 500 bn 2015 and 500bn 2014.
mircea_popescu: (and where's
the money come from, you wonder ? ah, well, usg.fed.jpm and usg.fed.gs are lending companies money
to buy
their own stock back :)
BingoBoingo: Anyways Bayer upped its bid
to 62 bn USD for monsanto
mircea_popescu: (ah and in case anyone wonders where
the money went ? M&A market. if you don't know what
this is - it's when i buy your daughter
to
take her
to shanghai.)
mircea_popescu: the ever-obnoxious reality of economics is
that
the people you want buying you never pay much ; and
the people who pay much you never really want.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this is like "apple could buy russia"
talk. no,
they do not.
they like
to pretend
they do. and much like
the dumb housewife of some random local
tough, some people BELIEVE
THEM.
mircea_popescu: china bought 120 bn worth of us stocks from 2008
to 2015. it liquidated q2/q3 2015.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of "fed policies" :
the fed created a "bull market"
that was really a paper bubble devoid of any economic substance whatsoever. guess who rode it
to
the very peak ?
mircea_popescu: "will it beat up superman" "dude... you
think
this is
the cartoons ?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall
the
thread about
the ICBC
that's about as large as
the sum
total of us banks yet
trades in ny on
the pink sheets ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if
the
trend continues, 2018 will be
the last year
the us can finance ANY imports.
mircea_popescu: soo, chinese govt unloaded half a
trillion "western world and modern democracy" (WWMD) paper in 2015, including ~300bn us
treasuries.
that's about 1/6 of
their
total exposure
to usg bonds.

the OTHER however, and in
the us population without exception
the more important, is
toxin load.
the body has
two approaches
to dealing with
toxins : excretion and fat burial.
mircea_popescu: the human skin, unbreached, is a fantastic barrier
to all
this ; but like everything else it requires irrigation
to function.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the margin phenomena of
the human sphere are platelet agglomeration on one end ; and aerobic necrosis on
the other.
the former makes a scab.
the latter makes what fly maggots eat. which way
the wound goes is decided by how much useful blood shows up per unit
time.
mircea_popescu: but sure, over
time it perfuses. just, have
to maintain an active lifestyle and a catabolic metabolism for years on end.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform none of
the arrested jews were > 300 lbs, either.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-23 13:32 mircea_popescu: anyway ; yes, fat isn't innervated nor particularly perfused, and
the more distant
the less connected. which is why really fat people CAN'T actually lose weight. how would
they, it is closer
to a burlap backpack
than a
tissue.
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell funkenstein_ please send me a statement of accounts
thanks.
mircea_popescu: shinohai oh, wait, 100 upvotes "speaking out" ?
that's literally
two cents.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you'll end up working at
teh mortuary you know.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger "modern democracy",
that's what it is. a collective of wankers posturing as people.
