to me on what basis
the (mistaken, btw) proposition

the aliens, for
the aliens, with
these people.

trinque departs
to drink and be merry with
the couple of highly respectable gentlemen (such as ben_vulpes) he had
the honor
to meet on his
tour in Portland.
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck let
the 15yos out of
their mother's basement.
mircea_popescu: Who cares if men are stuck in a glass cellar? (They can change
the ... ) <<< i expect
they expect "men"
to "fix everything" because "theyt're good at
that and shit" ?
mircea_popescu: "oh, men dominate all professions. mostly, busking. but let's
talk about vague shit instead like carly fiorina and how she ruined hp"
mircea_popescu: i certainly never miss
the opportunity
to inquire with young female beggars, because
the
thing puzzles me
trinque: man I love
talking with bums
mircea_popescu: but missing out
the cosmic anomaly ? it gotta be investigated.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, yeah white butterfly but broad beans are a good scam as
the flowers
trick
them
cazalla: yes, broad beans as previously mentioned, lots of bees and insects about with
the warmer spring weather
mircea_popescu: ya sure. and if i were fucking starving, what exacty difference;d it make
to you ?
mircea_popescu: consequently, /me suspects
that
this is more an artefact of incompetence and fear
than actual nature.
mircea_popescu finds
this somewhat puzzling, he has no problem competing with other men of any age. had no problem at 16 sitting 50yos on
their ass, has no problem at 36 sitting 16 26 or w/e idem. i've yet
to hear
this magical "i'd rather go with him, he's younger"
thing even.
assbot: Logged on 16-09-2015 20:49:44; ascii_field: i can afford plane
ticket.
mircea_popescu: they have exactly your problem, "do not wish
to compete with younger men"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the problem is
their ideas of self worth are not accepted either place.
mircea_popescu: now
the russians have
the pincer on and
there's exactly nothing
the us can do
to rebalance.
trinque: asciilifeform:
that just isn't done
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it worked,
too.
the us managed
to get yet another ally for isis, at
the cost of destructuring its mideastern holds.
trinque: asciilifeform: in
the sense
that
they live lives of
the strictest obedience both
to some unspoken social idea of being politically "presentable" and literally
to everyone involved in elevating
them
to what
they are
mircea_popescu: not
that he didn't want
to. but, old men are cowardly, regardless of what
they were in
their youth.
mircea_popescu: and for
that matter notice
that stalin also didn't move against beria
mircea_popescu is kinda curious
to see how
that'd have went.
three different presidents wanted
to sack
the schmuck but gave up because "political cost
too great". ie, mansion.
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck did
they not do
that
to hoover, if
they were
that brave ?
mircea_popescu: trinque
the day
the retired head of
the spyhouse is excruciated in public over ANY
THING you know
the place's dead.
trinque: I met people in
TX
that were a meatwot node away from
the Bush family.
They're *not* free people.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: part of parcel of why actual people do not wish
to live in
the land of
the dumb.
mircea_popescu: and of fucking course bush would not gain it, whatever
the fuck he does.
mircea_popescu: yeah,
the jews resisting
the flames
through culture all went
to
the castle in
the mind.
mircea_popescu: many of
them smaller
than whatever you currently occupy.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile,
tons of mansions
throughout
the world. from romania
to sudan and from albania
to pakistan.
mircea_popescu: even if
the house itself may be
the size of a contemporary
town.
mircea_popescu: doth not make
the exceptionally large log cabin a "town house".
mircea_popescu: that a 1789 nigger may be allowed
to build himself a log cabin
the size of
the washington momunent
