mircea_popescu: "but mp, it worked. and we loved it". at least
the horses were alive,
that merits something. "but our figments and hallucinations -- just as alive
to us!!!"
mircea_popescu is vaguely curious if a century hence
there will be
tears shed over "all
the destruction". someone's gonna cry for systemd, what.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-03 05:29 phf: my mom had one of
those "papa escaped
the purges by burning all paperwork but life got
tough when
they
took our governess" piano
teachers, who would lament about being forced
to
teach peasants and brown folk, not on racial grounds as much as "you have
to have a bidet in your house for 3 generations, before you can
touch a piano"

there's a preserved communique from stalin
to hrusch, where
the latter served up umpteenth list of meat grinder candidates and stalin replied 'rejected, have measure, idiot'
mircea_popescu: is
the only distinction
that i don't actually hang
the various negrated morons ? because i can swear it is
to me a merely cosmetic matter, i would not lift finger one
to stop it if
they were in fact beheaded for it, and stalin did MORE
than me in
this vein, hence
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-02#1877763 ☝︎ mircea_popescu: and i daresay
that
the
thing is working admirably well ; but not nearly as well as
the sovok mechanism did in fact work --
the imperial officers would never have beaten
the wehrmacht, for one
thing.
mircea_popescu: in any case, you will notice
that we ourselves are purging
this supposed "elite" and growing one, literally, from our arse.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i dun have a better algo
to give for how
to reformat a cultural hdd , afaik
that's still
the state of
the art. << Well
there is
the US Socialist Disney block by block reformat algo as well
☟︎ mircea_popescu: diana_coman but ~which people~ ? whole point of industrialization is moving from
the
traditional
to
the modern. is
the idea
that ceausescu is somehow personally responsible for
the fact ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: any kind of ro elite was long gone by
the
time ceausescu came in, he gets
to hide behind ye olde "greaua mostenire"
trope.
☟︎ diana_coman: also re stale bread vs new bread I disagree mircea_popescu ; people used
to make
their OWN bread; not stale
mircea_popescu: diana_coman what,
the horses ?
the "killed elite"
thing would be what,
i gh duca ? (and guess what, digging for
that reference i also ran into -- apparently
there's
a piece re
the afore mentioned prince)
☟︎ diana_coman: asciilifeform, if you are into purging, at least purge
the whole lot and be done with it;
this sort of "let's cut
the elite and
then we grow a new one out of our ass" is stupid
diana_coman: for completeness, I can say
that I know from direct experience both force-peasants-to-town-into-big-houses and vanish in
the night for having had
too much wealth beforehand; none of it (in either case) is an achievement as far as I can see
diana_coman: mind ~exactly
the same as current "equality!!!" quotas and whatnots, I consider
that
the moment one does
this systematically,
there is right
to complain
that he ends up with idiots
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I suppose one of
those days I'll sink
the
time in and properly write-it all up and at least be done with it; I knew people who were not allowed
to study at university because of "poor background" meaning
that
there parents had university studies; I also knew people who were pushed
to
the university because of "good background" although
they did not have either inclination or desire for it; and leaving aside how
this is
to my
mircea_popescu: suleyman had
the worst harem possible, his mom picked it.
diana_coman: eh, re ceausescu,
they first killed whatever elite
there still was and
then
they got all critical and whatnot; lasati
mircea_popescu: it is quite
the case usistani "superheroes" are mcdonaldization of greek pantheon, yeah.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> greek gods read rather moar like
the americans' favourite 'superheroes', humanlike. << Except better because
they fucked hooker and played proto blackjack
mircea_popescu: i don't imagine
the concept of "god" is per se harmful. greeks also had, and various others.
mircea_popescu: i suppose matter should remain open for he who can be arsed
to read on it ;
that's
the best i have for a
theory in
the meanwhile.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wasn't ivan raised by a regency, in
the manner
the prince of
talleyrand-perigord also describes, "as a vagrant or
the poorest of
the poor" ?
BingoBoingo: Henry simply did a weak XT attack on
the church. Did not hang all of
the pedotards
mircea_popescu: comprehending is a draw on mental energy ; comprehending women perhaps
the largest ; unschooled orcs perceive
this issue whereby
the costs mount exponentially and
the marginal benefit is nil (you can only fuck one hole at a
timwe anyways!!).
mircea_popescu: "why should i be bothered with a bunch of
them". henry also serial-monogamized, rather
than make
them eat eachj other out.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-13 15:22 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dood was quite unsophisticated, had
this very... well, fundamentally a peasant's worldview, deeply optimistic and over-inclined
to fit-in-head.
mircea_popescu: also very effectual at quelling
the female will-to-spawn. "do you understand what will happen if you make me an idiot ?"
mircea_popescu: but see, one needn't be stalin. officers in question had all
they needed, did not apply.
mircea_popescu: "chitlins, what do
they call single-node
trees in
the republic ?"
mircea_popescu: it is
the correct algo. cut off
the lost node and pressure
the last conneected node.
mircea_popescu: b) i would deliver ~the wife~, naked other
than for being beaten black and blue, straight out of
the
trunk into
the courtyard of her ancestral home, and publicly explain
to her father
that if i ever hear of any of
their intolerable kin he'll hear obituaries.
mircea_popescu: a) i would ~ignore~
the sons. you've seen me do it before, yet it's not obvious
to you. death of heroes belongs
to
they showing some promise, why muddy it up. what if i mixed some mud in your cocktail ? i would not insult
the heroes-in-baking by
this addition.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-07 23:18 asciilifeform: buncha kids, mostly of local party elite, seekritly sewed
themselves some semblance of ss uniform, and raised swastica flag at night on city hall;
then marched
to cemetery and laid half a
tonne of flowers on old white army graves
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do me a favour, let's go
through an what-if.
mircea_popescu: not exactly.
there must be a
thread, uniting
things
to
the center of
the world. if
there's no
thread,
there has
to be a change. if
the
thread's valid but interrupted at center you have
to recenter.
mircea_popescu: it is very difficult
to surround self with viziers who understand what you don't.
those are called co-caesars in rome.
mircea_popescu: was retroactived into "oh, he had been sick", but
this is both factually untrue and completely unknown at
the
time. in
the sense "obama is president of china" is completely unknown at
this
time.
mircea_popescu: but anyway -- disgustingly fat, yes, pinnacle of asskissing, yes, sent weekly letters "tov. shoemaker,
to whom i remain most loyal servant" in prison, yes.
mircea_popescu: to
this day i remain most proud of
this particular instance, out of all of
trilema's
time-bending achievements.
mircea_popescu: i can see it, "worked for stalin coincidentally, had ceased working by 70s". notwithstanding
that
the EXACT picture perfect rendition of said bootlick :
http://trilema.com/2010/la-moartea-lui-adrian-paunescu/ (a fellow who i declared dead on
trilema a week before he actuallty died, ro press "omitted
to notice", by
the way, a week later, when
the "suprising event" occured)
mircea_popescu: there's a somewhere in
the log /me explains how
this all works.
mircea_popescu: and
this because he ~opted not
to~ (unawaredly, but just as opted)
through
the exact process of "this is
too stupid
to understand". it is
too stupid
to understand ~deliberately~ and FOR
THAT PURPOSE.
mircea_popescu: and he systematically didn't understand
the ~only set of dorks who belonged in jail, as a sort of public service, for re-realization.
BingoBoingo: Like Franco probably just wanted
to ranch and watch
the cows, but guild is house with
that oil wealth
mircea_popescu: the problem is -- he
tended
to imprison
the dorks he understood more
than
the dorks he didn't.
mircea_popescu: ceausescu who didn't
touch pantsuitism was certainly a better deadman
than
the imaginary one who had.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-12 22:09 asciilifeform: an asciilifeform who had never
touched microshit, i suspect, would be a better man
than asciilifeform who did..
mircea_popescu: so yes,
the principal driver behind " very little 'prophylactic' depantsuiting in his reign" (which is factual) was... very little capacity
to conceptualize
the pantsuitism. because of
the EXACT
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-12#1901577 thought process (though he's not nearly as elegant in his
thinking, nor did he have enough sense
to keep a fucking blog, so as
to GET
this elegant.)
