mircea_popescu: i wish
to see
the female alf. and her shoe collection.
Chillum: the philosophy is get it first, make it good later.
Though much never gets attention again
Chillum: we have piles of crap, and
then we have stuff we selected as core subjects
to get attention
Chillum: lol I made
that number up based on experience
mircea_popescu: which i must say for dali, and he'd have said it if he
thought of it first : fucking genius.
decimation: yeah I can see
that. purified into 'brutalism' in post war communist europe
mircea_popescu: perhaps. in
the sense
the russians mounted it all on oxcarts.
mircea_popescu: bauhaus on
the cheap = soviet prefab flats. from berlin
to pakistan.
decimation: my most direct expsoure was
the 'bauhouse' letters used
to
teach me reading
Chillum: We admins have a saying over on
the private wikipedia admin channel: Gurer vf ab pnony
mircea_popescu: Chillum i don't
think
that's
the shade of caring he had in mind.
Chillum: and any other planet
that gets in
the way of my plans!!
decimation: Chillum:
that's because nobody gives a fuck about jupiter
decimation: if
the nazis won wwii, one wonders what
the 'nazi wikipedia' would look like
decimation: Chillum: is
there anyone 'working' on wikipedia who doesn't want
to 'control information'?
mircea_popescu: Chillum if
that
thing's information i'm a sort of misunderstood pope.
mircea_popescu: some other people have
to see which common mistress is awake
to bail
the couple out.
Chillum: I am a wiki dude because I have bond villian like ambitions. One needs
to control information, being a wikipedia admin is a good start
mircea_popescu: some people have
to explain
to
the wife why
they're in jail.
Chillum: I did not even consider getting married
till I met someone who would not
try
to control me but rather support my bond villain like ambitions
mircea_popescu: moreover, it's relevant support.
the support of people you're not intimate with is worth about as much as
the word of people not in
the wot.
Chillum: I admit
though, I went
through a lot of shit women before I found a good one
mircea_popescu: in strict contrast
to
the woman he had before,
that bogged him down.
mircea_popescu: and it's unclear
they actually need anything. slim is
the controlling example. chick empowered bogart.
assbot: Logged on 21-02-2015 01:19:34; mircea_popescu: "she's been going
through 6-7k each month since autumn, but i get
to go visit p diddy whenever i feel like it. it's a wash"
mircea_popescu: this isn't strictly chillum's "she helps with
the rent". recall convo re 40k ?
decimation: 'trabant' can
transport you 1,000 miles, kind of
mircea_popescu: decimation sadly usg is not directly involved.
this is more "let's make vague laws
to satisfy an abstruse expectation of good".
the only result is, whenever contrary interests meet,
the provider is caught in
the middle.
decimation: usg enjoys forcing everyone
to be an agent
mircea_popescu: not
that i care, i'll be making money on
this deal, but from a systemic perspective it sucks.
mircea_popescu: the us legal system has managed
to put anyone
trying
to provide services into
this position of "fucked either way".
decimation: mircea_popescu: is
this related
to
the dcma
thing?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah i know, i'll be suing a dc, moving
the
thing etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's again put it in
terms of sex. given
the choice does it seem a better strategy
to keep long
term warm intimate relations with a long list of sluts, or does it seem more workable
to just keep
the yellow pages close and hope
the massage salon person understands what you mean ?
assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 01:35:08; mircea_popescu: btw, anyone know how cockney got
to be called
that ?
decimation: as in 'if
the peasants don't want
to work in
the factory - starve
them until
they do?'
assbot: Logged on 24-11-2014 23:13:14; asciilifeform: ultimately, being a builder of industry at
the 1917 (or even
today's)
tech level, fundamentally sucks. as in,
the same way being in prison sucks. so stalin et. al.
tried experiment: what if being a peasant sucked -more- ? and - it worked.
decimation: imagine being one of
these young germans at dunkirk, watching
the sad sacks from britianna derp around
assbot: Logged on 16-02-2015 04:18:05; decimation:
the contrast between
the German soldiers, bronzed and clean-cut from a youth spent in
the sunshine on an adequate diet, and
the first British war prisoners, with
their hollow chests, round shoulders, pasty complexions and bad
teeth –
tragic examples of
the youth
that England had neglected so irresponsibly in
the years between
the wars."

the 'forced exercise' idea reminds me of a passage in
the 'rise and fall of
the
third reich': "The young in
the
Third Reich were growing up
to have strong and healthy bodies, faith in
the future of
their country and in
themselves and a sense of fellowship and camaraderie
that shattered all class and economic and social barriers. I
thought of
that later, in
the May days of 1940, when along
the road betwee
decimation: asciilifeform:
they have an 'apprenticeship' system in germany
too
decimation: they can't be easily fired, generally
treated with a degree of 'tenure'
decimation: asciilifeform: european welfare statism is fucktarded, but
they do have a degree of escape from
this
treadmill
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, in general
tech seems
to be managed on a 'what have done for me lately' basis
decimation: I suspect
the 'men-as-parts' strategy is primarily implemented by
the aforementioned engineer managers with poor social skills
mircea_popescu: i don;t
think "men as parts" is actually all
that good.
decimation: asciilifeform: just like 'first-to-market-crapware' is also a short
term winning strategy
