mircea_popescu: now that religion is no longer useful pushing the cart of state, it's slowly getting back into its original shape
mircea_popescu: as such, for a short time 19th-20th century christianity was forced out of shape for the needs of the equalitarian ideology of the time
mircea_popescu: the thing is, christianity is old. equalitarianism is young.
mircea_popescu: i don't think the feminist was born with the guts to engage me.
mircea_popescu: "If he is a left winger he will get a pass from the feminist community, maybe a slap on the wrist. If not then the mighty thunder of Rainbow Thor and his unicorn shaped hammer will hit him bad. Let's wait and see..."
mircea_popescu: i wonder if lovecraft;'s intuition is correct, if the mere sight of chtulhu would drive one mad.
mircea_popescu: the perfect ideology, especially from the pov of the shepherd, for the use of domestic sheep.
mircea_popescu: that's the fucking problem at the bottom of it : a class of people that have been trained to equate power with badness and powerlessness with goodness.
mircea_popescu: this, read through tlp's eyes, says "we only accept those who have no power, merely the trappings of power"
mircea_popescu: listen to this : "There are a few popular people that most of the community agree with, like Andreas Antonopoulos, but he is just a presenter, a tech-evangelist."
mircea_popescu: whoa i just had an epiphany. someone linked the tlp blog just as i was reading davout's comment on rettardit and it struck me.
mircea_popescu: wtf that reddit link BingoBoingo posted... who the fuck designs those headers.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: "The weakest point of my company was management," said Mr. Karpelès, who was the sole executive of the company. << lol
mircea_popescu: mike_c you should prolly pester dub. i'd love nothing more than to see him abjectly slaving away for a group of internet funbuxfans
mircea_popescu: resulting in these bitmaps that could only be colored in 8x8 chunks
mircea_popescu: back in the day on the z80 you could define the 8x8 bitmap of a glyph
mircea_popescu: pankkake: you might say "GUIs", but I want them in screen, in ssh, and be keyboard driven only << kinda like all glyphs no ?
mircea_popescu: wait, sonny doesn't fuck the production line girls ?! that lozer.
mircea_popescu: The things he said, like "Josh is not gay, he's bi" or "Sonny fucked the girls from the production line" sound more like irrelevant bullshit from a crazy person than credible information.
mircea_popescu: i always wondered what "from scratch" really means. like, someone got an itch and so the software is written from scratch ? :D
mircea_popescu: (sorry for the noob questions, i'm new here and i don't even code)
mircea_popescu: o hey that patriarchy article yielded quite the scandal huh
mircea_popescu: ‘It’s so dark’ a still ignorant third friend completed. Couldn’t see her complexion, probably because it was in fact so dark. She wasn’t black, but that’d be something, right?
mircea_popescu: i never met an intelligent young man that couldn't read it
mircea_popescu: otherwise tgere;'s little value to just you know, making a web url alias
mircea_popescu: well if you run your own node(s) with good peerage it'd come from there
mircea_popescu: having a few dedicated trusted watchers certainly cheaper than "everyone" doing their own watching, and certainly better than current situation (where most everyone doesn't do any)
mircea_popescu: kinda larger sort of investment to make it go, i guess.
mircea_popescu: well it may be useful if you're into the nitty gritty of it, merchants could always query your service if in doubt
mircea_popescu: i think it only appears demographic because there's allignment between the actual causes and demographics.
mircea_popescu: it's like asking me if the median fridge user knows about the carnot cycle
mircea_popescu: lol the only reason they get re-elected is the seniority system
mircea_popescu: maybe by racist xenophobe male chauvinist reactionaries
mircea_popescu: ask anyone, would they rather fuck a bunch of women, or would they rather not fuck at all but be regarded by their peers as a modern casanova ?
mircea_popescu: and they put in padded cells the sorts of idiots that wish to spend their time running for an office instead.
mircea_popescu: i'd be kinda curious to see how a country worked where the cure for insanity was 2 years in parliament.
mircea_popescu: just as long as you don't try curing things that don't have a cure
mircea_popescu: by the latter criterion i'd guess medicine is mostly successful
mircea_popescu: but currently it's mostly regarded as "the health of the population" is a thing.
mircea_popescu: do you suppose medicine is responsible for all health ? or just for those cases it picks up ?
mircea_popescu: most of the comments are derping about the guy's identity
mircea_popescu: maybe i should spend my money printing fliers of this guy's blog instead.
mircea_popescu: has made no progress in almost 20 years, let alone ten, a claim no other medical specialty can make, and the truth which cannot be spoken out loud. Hence an exam.
mircea_popescu: thing else? A few new medicines have come out, though none of them appeared on the test either. There's money to be made on the west coast using giant magnets, (fortunately) also not on the test. So? Was the ABPN worried I'd forget how to use MAOIs? I'm never going to use them, I have enough problems monitoring Xanax. The astonishing truth is that despite millions of dollars and hundreds of academic careers psychiatry
mircea_popescu: The logic of a 10 year MOC exam is to keep us up to date, so it's fair to ask: what in psychiatry has changed in ten years, what are the major advances? Depakote was discovered to be the default maintenance mood stabilizer despite no evidence supporting this, but that fell into disuse at a time oddly coinciding with its patent expiration, which is suspicious but I'm no epidemiologist. Anyway, it wasn't on the test. Any
mircea_popescu: i really can't see myself getting a license from anyone to anyting.
