Adlai should sleep, don't
take it personally but kindly fuck off.

ben_vulpes: i'm just going
to use it as a filter,
the same way i filter against men who button
the
top button of
their shirt when not wearing a
tie.
Adlai discussed just
this very issue over dinner with a university professor
jurov: nice, it includes not just
trannies, but split/absent personalities,
too
mats: but i want
to hear more about what
the wikipedia admins are
talking about in
their private channel
mircea_popescu: pious fraud. no history was ever
told any other way, because
the principal driver behind history as a human behaviour is exactly what Chillum was describing re his involvement in wikipedia.
mats: like lincoln ever gave a shit about emancipating
the negros ... rather
than driving
them into revolt, resistance, and generally disrupting
the southern economy
mats: the popular retelling of american history is
terribly freedomwashed
mircea_popescu: one should still wonder why would record numbers of malingerers seen in a
thorouhgly voluntary force.
mircea_popescu: the fact
that
the medical science of detecting imaginary maladies never got such a boost before or since notwithstanding.
mircea_popescu: heck,
the french conscripts of
the french republicalso volunteered
decimation: note
that
the above mentioned indentured servants volunteered, probably because of bankruptcy
mircea_popescu: "even
the slave masters
themselves agreed slavery is a bad idea".
mircea_popescu: what if i started an encyclopedia presenting
the current state of "web development" as indicative of what computing science is ?
mircea_popescu: that it's badmouthed by
the lazy, and
that
the encyclopedists pushed
this angle where
the late failure is presented as pars pro
toto reporesentative... well.
mircea_popescu: decimation
the fact remains
that slavery is generally productive, and in some circumstances
the only practicable alternative.
decimation: well,
the colonies were a nice place
to 'disappear' all kinds of crazies
decimation: "Two were "Negro slaves", but
the other eight were white servants, including
Thomas Pearce, a 20-year-old Bristol joiner, and William Webster, a middle-aged Scottish brick-maker. Whether
they were ever found remains a mystery; almost nothing is known about
them but
their names. But
their irate master was
to become very famous indeed, for
the man pursuing his absconding servants was called George Washington."
mircea_popescu: the woman's husband wanted
to end
the fee
tail on
the woman's dowry estate, and did not wish
to entertain her children (which she had with a guy she actually liked, about her age), and so ... had his friend
teh lord of
the cinque ports declare
them slaves, and
they got sent where slaves went in 1500.
mircea_popescu: in fact, even
the puritans, even on
the mayflower, for all
the pretense
to contrary, shipped a
total of four children
that had been stolen from a gentry woman in england, against hte mother's wishes.
three died
the first winter
there.
mircea_popescu: it was common practice
to pick up children off
the street /
take
the children of people living on
the dole and send
them over.
mircea_popescu: but
the original northern colonists (south didn't exist, like oregon didn't exist during civil war) ran exactly
the equivalent of
the southern plantation,
assbot: Logged on 12-04-2015 16:57:38; asciilifeform: it having been
the only really serious business in
that part of
the world, at
the
time.
mircea_popescu: "welcome, driving class.
today, we learn how
to accelerate
the car. next week, we'll learn steering and braking."
mircea_popescu: either
that or perfect
the skill, shrug and
try
to be a rock or something.
jurov: i just shrug it and
try
to forget.. guess i need
to unlearn
that
mircea_popescu: seeing how stupidity is not self-healing, i don't even need
to keep
the list per se. just read another sentence later.
mircea_popescu: but
the fact remains, i keep reading
through, stupid accumulates, eventually overrurns my (short) buffer and i drop it.
mircea_popescu: i couldn't finish hayek because he was stupid.
think about
that, hayek of all people. if hayek is stupid what chance do we have ?
jurov: i did not mean
to split hairs
there :) so it goes like, you get upset, add it
to
the list while maybe breaking
the keyboard or
two and life goes on?
assbot: Logged on 12-04-2015 16:56:38; pete_dushenski: should add
this
to ma cv or something
mircea_popescu: but for
the other, how do you maintain
the list of endless
things
that are not letters ?
jurov: btw, is
there a
trilema piece about how
to maintain endless lists of "things
that are not
to exist" without becoming mad in
the process?
mircea_popescu: that's
teleological in usage. but perhaps
there's something long forgotten
to
the etymology.
mircea_popescu: decimation no. demented is different from mad in
that one lacks
the intellect whereas
the other has a malfunctioning intellect.
the alzhimer patient is demented but not mad.
mircea_popescu: sure,
the dysfunctional us "dictionaries", really properly wikitionaries have everything equal. (demencia passion locura furia) = (insanity crazyness madness
mircea_popescu: "Aun cuando la historia no
tenga leyes el curso de una revolución se prevé fácilmente, porque la estupidez y la demencia sí las
tienen."
decimation suspects
that
the longer one resides in south america,
the more one would come
to appreciate herr colacho
ascii_modem: them
to be
told apart easily, as
typewrtrs
decimation: but
the
tech allowed registration of copiers?
ascii_modem: not registered only because
tech did not allow

trinque: so
this abjection drive is a matter of female psychology?
mircea_popescu: "That Lakota men did not like
to be called "heart of a woman" in council meetings is less likely
to mean
that women were regarded as inferior
than
that
the warrior's role was sharply set off from
the woman's role". Check it out, both
the Lakota and Hassrick managed
to figure it out!
trinque: because
then
they're at least important enough
to bother humiliating?
trinque: then why
the drive
towards abjection?
trinque: we are
taught (though
this is of course delusional)
that we're supposed
to be
this force of GOOD (TM) in
the world
decimation: yes, and it's seen as noble because it embiggens 'the other' in
the
third whom
they idolize
mircea_popescu: just... abjection. it's a lot more psychologically attractive
than most people dare
to admit.
mircea_popescu: why us army hasn't been allowed
to win a war since
the 60s at least.
mircea_popescu: the us population fundamentally wishes
to be deeply humiliated by
the entire world. it's what
they're doing over
there.
decimation: 'the people' desperately want
to believe
that
there is a secretly competent branch of usg saving
them from
themselves
mircea_popescu: they were
treying
to get
the russians
to rape
them and found a way.
decimation: mircea_popescu: you see
this in
the us with
the ambiguity usg shows
toward spying in general
trinque: mircea_popescu: always a very small number of whichever govt officials compared
to
the
total populatio
mircea_popescu: the people seek certain forms, and
the bureaucracy follows.
mircea_popescu: i said
this before, but perhaps not as clearly : no
totalitarian state oppressed
the people. ever.
mircea_popescu: like
the retarded native americans go
through
the
tsa anal gefingerpoken so as
to be clarified of
their sins ?
decimation: mircea_popescu: yes
that seems reasonable
mircea_popescu: like a retarded native american would have
taken it
to
the shaman
to be exorcised ?
mircea_popescu: does
this not suggest
that
the ACTUAL REASON adults "had
to" register
their
typewriters was because
they wanted
to have
to ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you had
to "register" your
typewriter. kids didn't have
to register
their magnetophone.
jurov: it bit
them
to ass when videotapes came,
tho
jurov: interesting
that govt did not regulate
them at all, unlike photocopiers
jurov: (same machine, you couldn't get one
that could not record)
jurov: yes,
tape reel players
decimation: jurov: surely
they received it on shortwave
