assbot: Logged on 22-11-2015 16:23:54; mircea_popescu: i dunno why the fuck this point is so unobvious, but : most of the intellectual gains humanity has made came after it decided to do what science always does : arbitrarily clamp down on complexity in one place to use this as leverage against complexity elsewhere.

assbot: Logged on 21-11-2015 19:44:22; mircea_popescu: really, "less than college education" ? having a us college diploma is like having a mental disability certificate. it just means you're at best useless but in principle dumb.

assbot: Logged on 11-11-2015 21:28:06; mircea_popescu: obviously you can't make "the media" aka usg agitprop machine unhave all the vans and ex-sorority chicks and whatnot. so the only practical solution when you can't prevent them acting on their options is to limit their options to one.
assbot: Logged on 21-11-2015 00:49:51; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-11-2015#1328878 << hey, in the straights of iran they've flown submarines before.

assbot: Logged on 20-11-2015 21:54:18; mircea_popescu: but anyway, maybe the answer actually has little to do with a "west worship" thing, and simply is that the sort of people who have goals and set about to pursue them simply no longer exists. for all i know the problem of mauretania is exactly the problem of missouri : everyone in sight principally desires to sit down in front a tv.
