mircea_popescu: it starts with the us itself pretending to be part of the western world, while leading africa in rapes, teenage pregnancy, incarceration, functional illiteracy and the like
mircea_popescu: <decimation> this functions as a natural safety value which relieves people from pretending they are something that they are not << whole fucking contemporary us is built upon people pretending they are everyithing they're not.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> here's a question: why will bitcoin succeed when gold was beaten so badly by fiat? << well, why has gold been "Beaten so badly by fiat" ?
mircea_popescu: spends all the time it should spend training them so they stop sucking training them to believe they are just fine and this is what one does and should do.
mircea_popescu: decimation now imagine what happens to a society that takes all the natural victims of this phenomenon, kids aged 15-20, and a) preaches to the girls they should be more like the boys, ie, stupid in this particular manner and b)
mircea_popescu: so, yeah. she can be a thing if she wants. she doesn't, even if she may be too stupid to realise this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they could have thrown her out, np. just...
mircea_popescu: there for all eternity, to confront generations of bright teenagers that'll take about five minutes to figure out she's a furniture, and maybe not torture her for it. maybe.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: so, this poor unfortunate soul found herself living her parent's dream : an assistant professor! at the prestigious ubb no less!
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: all the kids that were any good left, generally the country. just about now, an elderly lady with a full professorship was looking for an assistant.

mircea_popescu: she came. for four years, that poor unfortunate soul sat there, dreading the moment anyone asked anything. because she knew she couldn't cope. just smart enough to smart.
mircea_popescu: now among this dozen, there was a mentally retarded girl. she wasn't badly touched, maybe 80 or so. definitely enough to take care of herself. definitely not enough for high level math. her parents however were i dun recall what academic country gentry, and so they insisted she go.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: then the ministry decided it won't ok a 18 student class. so they took a dozen the kids that had fallen through 3 normal classes, and had not found an alternative hs in the dozen or so top highschools around. and put them in.
mircea_popescu: so, when i went to hs, they made this special "suprareal" class. (in romanian, "real" means you do math, otherwise it's a chick hs doing languages, or a prole hs doing "skills"). they made the entrance so fucking hard tho that only about 18 kids out of the entire region made it. the remainder "fell through" to 3 normal "real" classes at this elite hs.

mircea_popescu: so if i spend capital to buy advertising im a bad businessman ?
mircea_popescu: or in romanian, "cistigi, pagubesti, negustor te numesti"
mircea_popescu: if she's spending her own money to buy something, who are you to know better ? as long as she can keep doing it she's a businessman just like you.

mircea_popescu: "as a creator of a google, I know what made google successful!"
mircea_popescu: "But what made Google successful as the world’s preferred search engine was not great “community” or shibe memes or aggressive marketing on Twitter." << orly.
