mircea_popescu: anyway, when
trump won
the first derping of
the female state went along
the lines of "adults", mind ye, ~adults~ "taking care of him" or somesuch nonsense.
this directly maps, period ie 1880s dinner conversation had
the dead women been instead present went "why did you machinegun
those nice zulus ?" "what
the fuck did you want me
to do,
teach
them english, invite
them over for
tea, meet
the missus ?" "<grin>"
mircea_popescu: talking
to myself for a good 15 minutes, because something with pingpongs or what was it!
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:44:15 <mircea_popescu> o look, now it ~didn't disconnect me at all anymore~. just sat
there, 10 minutes+, nothing doing. because
totally, "the protocol permits", or how did it go ?
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:41:19 <mircea_popescu> amateurs, as it
turns out, are a
terrible plague.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:40:54 <mircea_popescu> peripueral fever made
the british empire possible more
than anything else, and
the reason
there isn't one
today are simply put all
the happy
tourists
taking pictures of costa rican wild life.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:40:29 <mircea_popescu> in
this view (which, while not
the only interpretation
that can be painted on
the facts nevertheless very much is an interpretation
that very well can be painted on
the facts),
the required reagent for something
to happen is for somehow, accidentally or intentionally, female representation
to go away.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:37:28 <mircea_popescu> once peripueral fever went away,
the british empire ended.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:37:15 <mircea_popescu> and,
this is
the bomb :
they were alone, so
there could be an empire. because most females mated with powerful males died before reaching
the 2nd half of maturity (and especially old age),
the female view was ~not represented in society~. dick was alone, not merely personally, but politically,
there was no one
there
to efficiently argue his position.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:36:11 <mircea_popescu> because of peripueral fever, which at
the
time was a 10-20% winnings dice every woman rolled every
time she had a kid, it
then followed
that most kids at one of
the boarding schools had no mothers.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:31:07 <mircea_popescu> leaving aside how period couples easily did a week of abstinence, i retorted
this was not so, but rather
to be
true
to life : most of
the kids in dick's position had no mother
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:30:38 <mircea_popescu> and since i mentioned vice-versa again, some #haremleaks : hanbot asked me if i
think
the only reason anstey made paul a widower was so he didn't have
to confront his son fucking his wife during
that week.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: consider also
http://trilema.com/2011/leapsa-universala/#comment-47349 discussion, "Trilema este un blog onest in primul rand. Atat de onest incat instraineaza foarte multi din cei care il folosesc. Daca ar fi sa desenam un grafic cu utilizatorii acestui blog am vedea ca ei cresc pana la un moment dat si dupaia zice Popescu ceva (pai cum dreq) si fuge gloata oripilata in

mircea_popescu: but, in point of fact,
they always end up looking just like dickie bultitude. especially
to
their long-suffering father, paul.
mircea_popescu: they ~don't mean
to be~ dangerous, of course.
they really meant everything
to be
the
tits, really.
mircea_popescu: and
to briefly revisit discussion : people who aim
to
tell a story ~qua story~ rather
than qua reality ARE DANGEROUS. very, very fucking dangerous, and ~they know
this,
too~ (or otherwise, one's hard pressed
to explain why
they come up with inane "really,
the other guy is dangerous, promise" bullshit aka
http://trilema.com/2014/the-definitive-tract-on-sociopathy/ -- especially seeing how
that's
their amply documented and well
mircea_popescu: yes, it "permits", in
the sense
that it wasn't designed with a view of
the amateur politician's needs in mind, and so
their hamhandedness incidentally self-crits.
mircea_popescu: it's not like i patched my software
to lie
to me, is it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this is not a pipe drop!
this is freenode going "sorry your pipe dropped"
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck is
this supposed
to work, seriously now, "hello sir we can't hear you sorry"

the year's sometime in
the golden 90s, and some super-duper karate
trainer guy who happens
to also be a friend of
the family is visiting.
nicoleci: yeah me either, we should change
this. i wonder if mircea_popescu's scope of pretentiousness reaches
tasting a fine capybara
BingoBoingo: And
the locals shot a second police officer
this week. Monday's in Villa Española.
This one in La Blanqueda.
nicoleci: should be a fun demonstration for everyone at
the store
nicoleci: should probably
try for a raw lamb next
time
nicoleci: mircea_popescu, fetlife never disappoints.
the best part of it is how he gave an explanation on why he
thought
that for a whole second and posted
the comment
mircea_popescu: that's for sure.
though
THAT only comes into its own when i sit here
typing and bulk up while
the girls are (even now!) at
the gym and... nothin' doin'.
mircea_popescu: my point is
that
the behavioural separation is visible rather before secondary sexual characteristics.
diana_coman: hrm, some don't , lol;
tits and ass and even more
than
that
diana_coman: ehm, from personal experience I can
tell you
that precisely at
that age
there is basically a massive handicap all of a sudden; and quite visible
too
mircea_popescu: but, for some reason (which i suspect -- only in part cultural, and besides, why would a girl believe her mother)
they
tend
to not want
to earnestly
try.
mircea_popescu: well, which brings us full circle : girls seemed
to prefer
that way rather
than
this, notwithstanding
that
they ~could~ have earned a decent spot on
the rooster if earnestly
tried.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, well, it's basically
those who really cared
to vs
those who really did NOT care
to, will always be able
to; uhm?
the whole
thing was
those who really cared
to vs
those who really cared
to, otherwise not much sense imo

the amateur behaviour is actually not unknown among children. now and again you see some kid (esp one
that's not usually violent) FURIOUS
to
the point of rabid because some other kid "cheated", ie, did something
the universe supported but
the kid's mind did not.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-30 19:40 mircea_popescu:
the
traditional period greeting among boys, etched as it finds itself in my memory, went "ma,
tu poti asa ?" ie, "hey, can you do
this ?". girls
tended
to challenge each other rather
to knowledge of particular conventions, "you read so and so book ?! SO DID I!!!"
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how she found
the room for such kicking, but,
the fact remains -- very much ~could~, a good half of all males are not worth
the chickenfeed.
mircea_popescu: chick slid her ass
to
the side and cracked him one shoe square in
the forehead, after he grabed her ass.
mircea_popescu: and
then JUST as i
turn
to grab
the dood by
the scruff of his neck and see who
the fuck
this is
then, what, am i
talking
to myself here ?!
mircea_popescu: i have her walk in front of me ; and JUST as i'm explaining
that nobody'd better fucking molest my guest or else, i feel some schmuck interlacing himself in front of me.
mircea_popescu: so
the year's sometime in
the golden 90s, and some super-duper karate
trainer guy who happens
to also be a friend of
the family is visiting.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: actually, if
they at all cared
to... here, let me recount an anecdote.
diana_coman: that might be, sure; doesn't change much
though yes, strictly speaking "can" aka a qualified can
diana_coman: do you mean
that
the average girl can still beat
the lower placed boys after puberty?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman entirely possibru!
though
the ~average~ girl is still no match for
the lower placed boys. so i wouldn't call it "can't" properly speaking.
mircea_popescu: the
traditional period greeting among boys, etched as it finds itself in my memory, went "ma,
tu poti asa ?" ie, "hey, can you do
this ?". girls
tended
to challenge each other rather
to knowledge of particular conventions, "you read so and so book ?! SO DID I!!!"
☟︎ diana_coman: you mean: at/after puberty, girls can't quite beat
the shit out boys anymore and
therefore
they stop fighting
them directly; lol
mircea_popescu: the distinction generally matches
their gender,
too. girls
tend
to end up in
the amateur-player groups. not so much climbing and activities with sticks
that are wont
to show one how inadequate human life is in a contest with sheer reality ;
mircea_popescu: at about
the age of 10-11 or so, children,
that were previously quite happy
to play
together, separate very visibly into pro-player and amateur-player groups.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the amateur behaviour is actually not unknown among children. now and again you see some kid (esp one
that's not usually violent) FURIOUS
to
the point of rabid because some other kid "cheated", ie, did something
the universe supported but
the kid's mind did not.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: some guy who can't spell, because cotsnaltny doign htis, is you know, merely dyslexic. if
they ALSO can't
tie
their own shoes... well...
mircea_popescu: diana_coman "retarded" is a
term for ~broad~ failure. narrow failure, ie one
that can be described on a single node, doesn't seem
to meet it.
mircea_popescu: but anyway,
the amateur, as a category, is very much a 19th century late-protestantism invention, along with such greats as "altruism" etcetera.
they have little anchoring in reality, being as
they are
the waste byproducts of a specific stage of industrial society.
diana_coman: uhm, maybe
this particular love-mistake is so significant in practice
to really make
the distinction
that no,
they are not retarded,
they are just ...dunno, love-seeking? and anyway
then...why is
this not just retarded as well?
mircea_popescu: from reviewing my past practice, i suspect i'd call
them "retarded".
diana_coman: really? so what, if you notice an amateur making at some point ALSO a childish mistake
then...it's not an amateur anymore?
mircea_popescu: making jesus (not as either
the historical character or
the pre-1800s various layers of reported historical character)
the elliot of amateurs.
mircea_popescu: whereas amateurs specialize in one particular branch of childish mistake : stuff
to with love.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 21:21 mircea_popescu: "the notion
that airplanes could reproduce
through laying eggs is merely a naive extension, in
the vein of 'object A has properties a and b ; object B shares property a and
therefore it is reasonable ~~~on a first approximation~~~
to expect it exhibit proerty b'. nevertheless, artifacts differ from nature in
that one fundamental aspect,
that
they're inefficient, and
therefore
to achieve same ends end up heavy, and in
the case
mircea_popescu: diana_coman note
that
the class of childish notion's wider
than
the class of amateur
tropes.
diana_coman: I can see at least
the distinction proposed
there with amateur vs childish
diana_coman: to my mind all children ARE childish, what else; but in
their case
that's just by definition basically,
they can't be something else, not an issue
mircea_popescu: Mocky calling a woman sexy, also in jest,
term reserved for prepubescent girls and boys of all ages ?
Mocky: well child-like is not
the
term, but I do
think childish only applies
to adults. calling a child childish would be in jest
diana_coman: hm, so amateur is
the childish use of adult brain capacity i.e. a mismatch essentially?
a111: Logged on 2014-02-10 01:34 mircea_popescu: people can want in one hand and piss in
the other, see which fills first.
mircea_popescu: therefore one's an amateur rather
than merely childish.
