mircea_popescu: "orlov either graduated or dropped out from college, and could turn competent prose if kept on a short leash, but he tended to believe he can actually be in charge of things. left to his own devices, he indulged in antireality boat designs and ridiculous sociopolitical systematization."

mircea_popescu: "Tom either graduated or dropped out from an art school (accounts varied) and could turn out competent artwork if given careful direction, but he disliked being told what to do. Left to his own devices, he indulged in drawing cartoons that featured grotesque caricatures of himself plodding through post-apocalyptic landscapes littered with wrecks of his old cars and wandering shadows of his former girlfriends."

mircea_popescu suspects "his acquaintance Tom" is rather autorepresentational, for this reason.

mircea_popescu: this is actually a great orlov piece ; once he abandons his nonsensical hallucinations of "having grasped the big picture" and takes up simple description he's actually quite readable.

mircea_popescu: maybe the next one.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's why i was saying ~slow~.

mircea_popescu: yes it will take more time / cost reagents. nevertheless, "here's my micron-by-micron decap of bolix."

mircea_popescu: you knjow, the micron at a time might be a good thing to do ~anyway~.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know i coincidentally re-read that piece as recently as this week ?

mircea_popescu: very much apropos, that discussion of the error of going back on the tree, which now i can't find.

mircea_popescu: whereas there's also a proper technology, which does not.

mircea_popescu: in short, there's a kind of "technology" that produces recursively these sorts of nooks and crannies for "nature, by itself" to return

mircea_popescu: note how "nature" aka shit fails to "make its way through the window" and still nevertheless give the woman peripueral fever even if you ~properly~ wash your hands.

mircea_popescu: im pretty sure there's a windows emulated in javascript somewhere.

mircea_popescu: purely cultural problem. how come "every mayo of fightin mass" ain't on the imaginary borders of the empire, fighting the republic ? cuz they fucking can't, lol. how would they, the republic integrates their ideological system.
