mircea_popescu: and just like nobody botheres with amy i don't bother with that forum fuckwit and so the circle continues.
mircea_popescu: consequently, she gets 2 hours of "therapy" and social media q.s.
mircea_popescu: nobody can be bothered to give her a good lashing and put her to work, because this is more skilled and valuable attention than she "deserves".
mircea_popescu: up to her chest in shit, fed antibiotics to control the infection. everything at the bare minimum.
mircea_popescu: the way the capitalist democracy works is that she gets the bare minimum to survive, much like a cow in one of the insalubrous farms they invented.
mircea_popescu: no.
mircea_popescu: but this doesn't happen where she lives. why not ? because nobody gives a shit.
mircea_popescu: she'd come back a marrigeable, useful and generally sane and adult woman.
mircea_popescu: now, if amy got to spend a few years on a mexican farm among mexican people who'd put her lazy ass to work rather than ask her about her feelings
mircea_popescu: so to speak, you brought my example yourself :)
mircea_popescu: in amy's system you end up with amy, who has no skills and no future.
mircea_popescu: well that's basically my point. in his system, every person is valuable, and because oif that you end up with hard working people who aren't depressed.
mircea_popescu: also unlike amy, he doesn't vote. he lives in a different system, which both explains him and makes sense to him.
mircea_popescu: unlike amy
mircea_popescu: the democratic system however ensures that he's well penalised for that.
