saifedean: asciilifeform:
the point is
to join
the cemetary at
the same
time as
the high school class 30 years your junior
bitstein: asciilifeform: what's
the other option?

saifedean: yeah it really isn't just me who's into all
this weirdness :D
saifedean: ladies and gentlement i present you my first witness and exhibit A...
the great paleo convert Bitstein of
Texas, prayers and blessings be upon him
mircea_popescu: fucking village, doesn't even have a
tiny and cramped bdsm club
punkman: I just realized if you
try
to vocalize
TMSR you end up with something close
to "timisoara"
saifedean: criminals, all
these people,
they'd go
to jail in
the good ole US of A
saifedean: daniel, i didn't know
that, might pop across
the border next
time I'm in NYC
to see what it's like
danielpbarron: i haven't
tried
to keep it out of
the fridge, but it seems
to age more gracefully in general
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron
technically
this was on a farm.
the way
they sorted it out was
that
the farm rented 20 sqft from
the supermarket, plopped a machine down
there. serviced it daily,
there's a resident
tech
that does analytics.
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> here's a fun fact : you can buy raw milk in romania << same here in Connecticut,
the one state in all of
the ussa
that permits sale outside of a farm
☟︎ mircea_popescu: my money says
they'd find a point of principle
to disagree on and not be on speaking
terms.
saifedean: gotta finish popping babies and feeding
them properly first,
then focus on econ,
then alchemy...
theoretical physics does not interest me much
mircea_popescu: for my part, for
the past
two weeks i've only been slapping butts with my left hand and i've never been
taller.
mircea_popescu: you should be an alchemist and write great books on
theoretical physics.
saifedean: the last
two months i've basically eaten nothing but fatty meat, never been healthier
mircea_popescu: eh how'd you know. at least
that dude has
the excuse of a lot of bad dinners all over.
punkman: grandma always boiled
the raw milk, I'm sticking with
that
saifedean: punkman is a man after my heart... kokorec is fucking good, whereabouts are you?
turkey?
mircea_popescu: dude... cows, ok, i can see,
they don't grow everywhere.
saifedean: look, i'd love
to
try good raw milk, and if you can hook a brother up, let me know... but, you know, it ain't
the be all end all of human knowledge
mircea_popescu: "i never had x but had y which is much better" is what you said
to me ? how
the fuck'd you know!
mircea_popescu: what makes
the discussion difficult is
the significant chasm between what'd you want and what actrually is
there.
mircea_popescu: you've
tried
the opposite but never suckled off a cow.
saifedean: unfortunately
those people don't write, but fortunately, some people who do write have studied
them... like weston price
saifedean: latin, after all, came from a sedentary agricultural society of grain-addicted fatties... you wanna look at pre-agricultural societies
to see how
to really be well-fed
saifedean: the problem with
this sort of debate is
that i've lived
the life of
the cake-munching sugar-addled modern nutrition believing fatty, and i've
tried
the opposite... which makes
this conversation difficult
mircea_popescu: for another... what
the fuck, i didn't grow up in a hole.
saifedean: ah, if only
they sold
that on amazon ascii
mircea_popescu: and i certainly aren't about
to read some anglo derps on how and what
to eat.
mircea_popescu: honestly,
to me all
this sorta stuff, much like
the "eu legislation" on "contaminated animal productS" ie, edible cheese, is a case of derpy dudes
thinking chickens come out of
the supermarket.
saifedean: it's sad
that your physicist friends havent read alchemists, but i'm gonna go ahead and guess
that's sad for
them, not for
the alchemists... here's a list of actual aclhemists, imagine where you'd be without
their contributions
to your life!
saifedean: Isaac Newton was an alchemist primarily, physics and chemistry were
the languages he used
to speak
to
the plebs
saifedean: i've never had raw milk, don't know a source i can
trust in lebanon, and it's illegal
to buy it here in Ontario!
saifedean: yes asciilifeform,
there is, by
the sort of people who invented basically all
the science and knowledge
that got us out of swimming in our own shit in
the jungle!
mircea_popescu: anyway, i was discussing whether raw milk is interesting or not. it's interesting,
to me, because lol.
saifedean: can't remember
the post, but it stuck with me and has saved me plenty of
time by always ignoring arguments from people hostile
to
things
they don't know... mainly bitcoin and health, funnily enough
saifedean: weren't you
the one who wrote a post about how dumb it is
to be hostile
to
things you do not know about?
saifedean: the internet has
that somewhere,
too
saifedean: raw milk is not
that interesting an issue, ignore it
saifedean: Weston Price
traveled
the world for decades observing different cultures and
their foods and examining
the link with health and degeneration... pretty startling stuff
saifedean: it's a
travesty
that he's been completely forgotten... he's basically
the Mises of nutrition
mircea_popescu: anyway, all
these nitwits
that aren't from cattle country don't know wtf milk is, even.
saifedean: you'll find it in pdf online if you look; reading it is a far better use of your
time
than arguing!
mircea_popescu: isnt
that
the chick at war with
the fda over
the whole raw milk
thing ?
mircea_popescu: and yes i
talk
to economists. as it happens
the brightest mind in banking alive
today is from my old country.
assbot: The Nourishing
Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care: Sally Fallon Morell,
Thomas S. Cowan: 9780982338315: Books - Amazon.ca ... (

saifedean: do you also
talk
to an economist phd
to get your perspective on Bitcoin?
trinque: I'll give it a coupla drops of
truth in a bucket of rhetoric
saifedean: and
they can't pay
them if
they deviate from
the script...
saifedean: appreciate
the faith in your clinician, but don't listen
to
those guys if you're having a child of your own,
they're not in it for your benefit,
they have med school loans
to pay
saifedean: of course
the medical bezzle is always happy
to oblige with "conditions"
mircea_popescu: looky, i appreciate
the youthful activist and half-doctor approach, but srsly,
talk
to an actual clinician. it doesn't always work. it sucks
that it doesn't, it's maybe overreported, it's often just fancies in
the woman's head, but not always. sometimes it dun work.
saifedean: she's got
to actively fuck it up for her
to not breastfeed... look at all real world examples, and you find a woman who ate shit, or who had a caesarian and didn't bother
try breastfeeding for a few days, or as is usually
the case, a woman who just can't be bothered and came up wiht a story
mircea_popescu: or whether she has a
tyroid condition. or cystic ovaries. or or or.
saifedean: and of course, a big, big part of
this is diet, what
the mom eats before, during, and after pregnancy
saifedean: she could fuck it all up of course, but it
takes deliberate human fuckery
to stop her breastfeeding
saifedean: inaccurate analogy, since she's another human. but if her body can carry a baby for 9 months, and if she eats well and
takes care of herself, she will get milk
saifedean: the problems of breastfeeding all come from
the mom not being given
the child
to breastfeed immediately
mircea_popescu: heh if only. if you can get it up, you can make her come,
too ?
saifedean: if she can get pregnant, she can breastfeed, it's all part of
the same package
saifedean: the child should learn
to latch onto
the
tit before anything else. In
the fucking bezzle
they give
them
the pacifier before
the
tit, and
then
they'll never latch properly... which happily enough creates endless business for Gerber and other peddlers of poison
saifedean: breastfeeding in
the first hour is essential for
the child and for
the mom's breasts, it's part of
the birth process
saifedean: but
the interventionist bezzle logic we have all come
to know and love from economics is applied with vigor at birth, producing mentally, physically and emotionally stunted idiots ready for
the modern world's demands
saifedean: all of which is not just unnecessary, but actively harmful.
the child needs absolutely nothing in
their first hours except
their mom's milk.
They need nothing for
the first 6 months except her milk and sunshine
mircea_popescu: o yeah,
the whole first day vaccination business is both novel and outrageous.
saifedean: and
then,
the coup de grace,
they give him a little sugar in
the first hour
to drug him and stop him crying from being separated from his mom while
they do all
the bezzle
they wanna do
saifedean: also,
the post-birth interventions
they do in
the medical bezzle are astonishing... within an hour or so,
the baby wil have had a vaccine against Hepatitis B, which I guess makes sense if you intend
to pimp
the child out in
the first week.
they'll give
them an eye drop
to protect against
the possibility of
the mom having chlamydia, regardless of whether she has it or not,
thus destroying
the child's vision for a few days..
saifedean: "you don't wanna
take chances with your baby's health"
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck goes
to
the maternity ward in an ambulance ?!
saifedean: this for me is
the difference between
the barbarian and civilized humans
today:
the civilized have
the
time and choice
to wait on
the placenta
to empty into
the baby.
The barbarians are
told by
the doctor
the placenta should be cut immediately
saifedean: and most brutally,
the fucking doctor wanting
to go home quickly means he'll cut
the umbilical chord immediately, suffocating
the child and depriving him of about a
third of his blood
