mircea_popescu: it's rather instructive
to compare
the "what
they were
telling 5yo boys" sides of historical conflicts, with
the "who won", check out
that r!
mircea_popescu: anyway, back
to
the point : unless you actually spend
the inordinate amount of effort and make-believe into getting boys appear (to
themselves, and
to others) actually worth
the effort,
they won't be. and from
there on
the whole shebang unravels.
mircea_popescu: yes murican "educational experts" never got wtf
the
thing is for or about. because whatever, paint copysts.
mircea_popescu: to
the extent it EVER worked, it was specifically designed koan-style by koan-aware people for
that one guy.
phf: sort of like ender's game model, other boys are also
there for him
to sharpen his faculties
mircea_popescu: school is for providing
the background where korolev grows up. both he and
the background are unaware of what
they're doing
there.
mircea_popescu: who designed
their winning rockets, and more importantly, who decided
to even go
that way ?
mircea_popescu: not for all of
them, but you don't need
to, and it doesn't work reliably either, but you don't need it
to, either.
mircea_popescu: the problem is
that boys are retarded while girls are useless.
mircea_popescu: " It's obvious
to anyone who has ever seen a boy
that
they appear, as compared
to a similarly aged girl, completely retarded."
mircea_popescu: the death where everyone runs around like a headless chicken while
the economy disappears "all by itself" and every war is lost (and scarcely even worth
the name)
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many people are willing
to earnestly contemplate
the sad
truth
that you HAVE
TO
tell small boys
that
they're better
than small girls, and you HAVE
TO construct everything
to make
them actually believe it. nobody wants
to do
this, everyone has
to do
this, because
the alternative is, plainly speaking, death.
mircea_popescu: somehow
the obvious "if you've not managed
to sell school
to boys you failed" is not getting across. "girls will stick with it because
that's what girls ARE" is not even possible
to contemplate.
mircea_popescu: the result of making education "more inclusive" ? society gets
tuned out by
the most important half of itself.
mircea_popescu: e girls. So
the problem isn't simply
that boys mature slower
than girls, it is
that
they are required
to perform
the same exact skills at
the same exact
time. Any surprise boys hate school more, "ADHD" is more prevalent, etc? And
there is more anxiety and
thus pressure about
the potential ineptitude of sons
than daughters.
mircea_popescu: Second, one might ask why
this is happening
to boys more
than girls. It's obvious
to anyone who has ever seen a boy
that
they appear, as compared
to a similarly aged girl, completely retarded. So it makes sense
that affluent parents-- any parents-- who have
the option, will redshirt
their five year old boy and hope he gets another year of maturity under his belt so
that-- and
this is my point-- he can keep up with
th
mircea_popescu: ;;google first step
to nobel prize in physics visegrad
ben_vulpes: fine it's not a
three body problem its a stretchypainavoidantthing/gravity/pointything problem
ben_vulpes: orbital subset is just a subset of
the general stability problems
ben_vulpes: no closed form solution for
the
three body solution eh?
mircea_popescu: also
that's probably
the worst presentation for it, seeing how
the shoulder articulation actually unhinges.
phf: sort of
the whole point
mircea_popescu: if you measure correctly you can get her
to where she's not
totally murdering herself on
that
thing. not
trivial.
mircea_popescu: but i guess
the old adage stands,
that
there's no better way
to understand a
text
than
to
try and
translate it\

assbot: Logged on 13-10-2015 18:24:46; mircea_popescu: anyway, pete_dushenski : someone (o'brien) signed your key and uploaded it
to one of
the servers.
the result is a different pubkey
there.
pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=13-10-2015#1298016 << update: adam_obrien and i played golf
this afternoon and chatted about pgp key-signing. in his excitement at discovering
the command line
tools, he
tried out everything he could find (he's an enthusiastic kid!) and yes, signed my key. he was quite surprised
to learn
that
this changed
the key block on
the sks etc servers.. fwiw
☝︎ pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu fwiw you're new keyboard seems markedly worse
than you old one in
terms of accuracy, at least on irc if not
trilema. many a spurious \\\ etc
mircea_popescu: i guess b-a is a very good venue
to discuss
the matter.
mircea_popescu: i on
the other hand have held under lease
tens of millions worth (dubviously, which is why i lease in
the first place) of real estate

thing, i recall.
