mircea_popescu: it's one thing to leave golden age new york because you can't afford the rent
mircea_popescu: <decimation> granted, it's a mistake to think of that as another golden age too - there's a reason they all left Germany after all << that reason is population pressure.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> I'm convinced that one of the reasons that pre-WWII germany spiraled out of control was because people who were able to make something of themselves had already left 50 years earlier << this is actually a pretty good theory.

mircea_popescu: I deserved it for being unattractive. You deserved it for being too attractive. We both got fucked and not in the way we wanted it.
