lobbes_field: The difficulty
to be able
to give 'just
the gist' is a good sign of something of substance
mircea_popescu: it also happens
to be exactly
the inverted image of success, culturally.

To pantsuit all of #trilema has
to read as vexual as vexual reads
to us
mircea_popescu: that you
tried, good. but
to go, oh, adlai g_l etcetera O NOES... it's a little much.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i honestly don't
think poor success rates with clinically relevant levels of self absorbed morons is necessarily something you'd be
too worried about.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, on
the other lobe, if it does make a difference i will declare
that i'm absolutely not wilfully persecuting alf descendants.
mircea_popescu: "will mention it no sooner
than it no longer makes any difference!"
mircea_popescu: for instance, you discovered, much
to your own surprise,
that in fact you were
treating republican discussion with your noobs exact way parents were
treating discussion of fucking.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-05 17:10 asciilifeform: some folx seem
to know how
to grow n00bs
that walk in and set
to work right off ( iirc diana_coman had one ) but asciilifeform not achieved
this wonder of yet
mircea_popescu: i don't even see
the problem with
this.
though i must confess midly curious as
to why it manages
to occupy your
time.
mircea_popescu: 2) none of
those other cells like intestinal cillia, or muscle smooth and striated, or neuron, axon, whatever does anything measurable
to enlarge
the spleen. 3)
thus
therefore it can be concluded
that properly speaking,
the only
things growing spleen are
the spleen itself.
mircea_popescu: so, ultimately,
the logic here goes
thusly : 1) of all
the parts of living animal, i choose spleen
to be defined as "only relevant part", arbitrarily. because i really like spleens and i don't really understand anything besides
them nor do i wish
to or see why i should have
to ;
mircea_popescu: because we're still causes not purposes and all
that. who
the fuck gives a rat's ass about "what will be".
mircea_popescu: in short :
the point here is
that we control ~the process~ of education, not ~the outcomes~ of education.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: education is
this process whereby people are sharpened, not changed. if girl has it in her
to outwrite your ffa, she conceivably will, and if not, she will not. why's
this something i'm
to fret about ?
mircea_popescu: the implication is not re what we need, but re what
they need.
mircea_popescu: not
that it's not a great achievement and hurray for ave1 ; but
that, why's it
to do with what we're
talking about ?
mircea_popescu: and
then b) why and wherefore is "work" defined in
terms of "ffa improvements" ?
thing's not even supposed
to be ~improvable~.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-19 16:22 mircea_popescu:
think of
the whole opposability angle, will you. 1. alf : "your summaries suck" 2. bimbo "master, is
this
true ?" now i'm stuck. i'm not going
to do a 3.b. "yes, because i like him" and i can't do a 3.a. "yes, because ~SOMETHING~" as
the something's an undefined symbol.
mircea_popescu: our problems currently flow around
the strong rocks of "there's a bunch of engineers and 0.epsilon businessmen", and
the solution
to
them eminently will not be in
the vein you contemplate.
mircea_popescu: in
the sense of, "the only surviving island of non-(engineeridiocy) is
this here harem, and further, as part and parcel of my continued and systematic efforts
to ensure failure, not only do i perceive
this as a substantial lack of everyone else, but instead i'll propose
that
taking a sufficiently narrow view of
the matter, it could almost be said
the lacking parts don't even exist" ?
mircea_popescu: educable as in positive delta over
time, not educable as in, reaches ishtar gate before i get bored waiting.
mircea_popescu: why would you be
the one
to set other's goals like
that ?
mircea_popescu: whether he ever ends up euler or not, 5yo child is math-educable, provided
that every
time his mother goes "oh, poor darling shouldn't have
to" she gets a black eye.
mircea_popescu: are we
talking here of "educable, as
the process" or are we
talking here of "educable, as
to a certain goal" ?
mircea_popescu: once
that's off
the ground, as many as one
third of
the girlies are perfectly educable.
mircea_popescu: in no small part because of
the misperception
that education is something
that'll bend
to fit
them
mircea_popescu: and a valid concern, at
that, education's an important part of
the function of oxford.
mircea_popescu: then again, 0 apparent awareness of
the
tmsr -> usg relationship is as fine a symptom as can be had,
to
the best of my knowledge.
mircea_popescu: you propose
this is what happened or you just
talkin' in
teh general ?
mircea_popescu: this is why even
the whole castle
thing ever exists,
to decouple
the "well, kid needs
to be able
to practice his restaurant eating skills sometime" with
the obvious "if
there's one single further kiddy squeal out chez maxim half
the seats will empty up"
mircea_popescu: eventually you have
to compare
the marginal gain from "1 of maybe coupla
thou noobs with working hands alive" with
the marginal cost from "if i read one more redditline in
the
tmsr log ima
tune it out".
mircea_popescu: THEN
there's all
the people who aren't my slaves, who STILL fucking read each line of
this here log. also "doesn't
take anything" ?
a111: Logged on 2019-02-05 13:50 diana_coman: asciilifeform, I must admit I fail
to see *what* did
the guy actually contribute; moreover he asked as far as I can see signalling questions, nothing more; granted,
they were related
to Ada but
that's about
the only positive I can find in
the whole log I had
to go
through; perhaps it's simply
too early for him
to be here? maybe first have something done and only
then come and show it?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-05#1892739 <<
this is no small matter ; i ~expect~ a number of my own slaves
to read each and every fucking line of
this here log. it "takes nothing"
to read a line until you start multiplying
the lines and
the readers. but what choice do
they have, right,
they're my slaves, if i order
them
that's an end
to
the matter.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: if you want
to change anything, change
the
thing where you fail
to mention
to kids
that
there's such a
thing as sex until well after
they've either been undone by it or somehow,
through no fault of your own, survived.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-04 22:13 mircea_popescu: much unlike naggum's mythical perl, doods sit around doing nothing all day with
their reward circuitry so blownout,
they literally fail
to understand
that no, "your message was
too long" is an inacceptable reaction
to
the situation where "my phone is uselessly broken"
mircea_popescu: no.
that
this here is
the republic, which is
the all-sovereign, whereas
the "united states government" is a
tax dodging unrecognized group of social misfits, and so following.
mircea_popescu: hey phf ben_vulpes and, i guess Framedragger : can i prevail upon you
to have (just one) logotron recognize [url][anchor] syntax and render it as <a href=url>anchor</a> instead of
the literal ?
mircea_popescu: people visit
the senate as a museum all
the
time, even schoolkids manage it alright. but
they do it ~knowing where
they are~, it seems
to me you do an orc grave disservice if you don't even mention a
thing such a
town may exist,
then
take him
there. obviously naive extension of whatever shiteating passes in his wilderness will get him
thrown out.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-05 13:54 asciilifeform: also will ask mircea_popescu
to expand re when, exactly, one oughta invite folx from castle.
