mircea_popescu: if
the gene for being a
total fucktard has genes A
through P and a
through w, where upcase ones are dominant, it may be
the case
that
the AD kid is
the geniusest of
them all and
the BG kid is
the
total fucking retardest of
the lot, way behind ww or ft or whatever
the fuck other recessive combo
mircea_popescu: the single alele pair model is in
the books because fucking peas exhibit it, and because it's easy
to
teach
to biologists, who are people who are bad at basic arithmetics.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker. i am so sick and
tired of
this cloying
tiresome pedestrian understanding of genetics.
mircea_popescu: "The other model Hariezer lays out is
that magic lies on a single recessive gene. He reasons squibs have one dominant, non-magical version, and one recessive magical version of
the gene. So of kids born
to squibs, 1/4 will be wizards. In
this version, you either have magic or you don’t, so if wizards married
the non-magical, wizards
themselves could become more rare, but
the power of wizards won’t be diluted. C
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i have great idea for mpex listing. i pretend
to own hash power, so i
take investor money and pay new investors with it!
cazalla: mircea_popescu, who really knows, all rumour and innuendo at
this point
ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell mike_c dude just fork over
the coin for a socket from kakobrekla
ben_vulpes: i'm going
to
think about it for days, come up with some interpretation, regurgitate it in public
to many guffaws
ben_vulpes: dude
that is
the most cryptic apparent nonsequiter.
ben_vulpes: hopefully
that bears some prophylaxis.
mircea_popescu: elitism has its protective advantages, especially for
teh youth.
mircea_popescu: the one
thing
that'll ruin a bright young mind is success among idiots.
mircea_popescu: you familiar with
the "there's nothing worse for a good startup
than a bad revenue source early on" quip ?
ben_vulpes: if i understand you correctly, i find myself surrounded by 'me
too monkeys'.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason for
the yawning geopoliticomilitary chasm centering around pekin, and
that cause is
that
the
top brass of
the us centcom failed
to guess cca 1980.
ben_vulpes: if i can do nothing on my own, i can learn from
those who do understand strategy.
mircea_popescu: thus,
they're not bankrupt, and will in fact bury
the us.
mircea_popescu: instead of making 25 atomic carriers
to
the us' dozen,
they just made small cheap rockets)
mircea_popescu: note
that
the chinese very smartly did not do what
the usians expected
them
to do in
the 70s/80s (an exact rehash of
the 60s/70s russian idiocy of
trying
to copy
them and lose at it, Мы вас похороним! and all
that,
ben_vulpes: "fly your jet
through here, i dare you."
type of approach.
ben_vulpes: perhaps i misspeak when i say "superiority" rather
than pointing at
the value in denying others ownership of a space.
mircea_popescu: this is scarce consolation
to
the poor schmucks sent
to die in
the
trenches, of course, but we're here discussing
the larger problem
mircea_popescu: if you're fighting over
terrain you do not know you've got a whole heap of problems, each much bigger
than anything a buzzard flying by could solve.
mircea_popescu: what can be said about
the kid who gets into a fight his first day in
the new school ?
ben_vulpes: i'm
thinking about floaty
things
that map out battlefields when floating unpricked around
the battlefield.
mircea_popescu: if what you're doing requires "air superiority" you're essentially
trying
to construct a nuclear-powered lawnmover
ben_vulpes: to give away *even more* of
the game what we're after is mini solids with vanes in
the exhaust
that protrude out from
the projectile body.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [03:20] <asciilifeform> '...no survival kit is complete without silver bullets...' <<
this is actually a lot more sensible
than it seems. silver has some good chars for making a bullet. << no no no no no and again no
ben_vulpes: babes are people
too and generally smarter
than
the doodz in
the w0t
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> and even
taught
to a girl << contrary
to public opinion
this is not really a feat
ben_vulpes: <assbot> Successfully added a rating of 1 for brendafdez with note: no such
thing as a chick
that can pgp << hawwwww
ben_vulpes: and mircea_popescu must MUST *MUST* start
talking about servers
ben_vulpes: we're
talking about ordinary gangbangs
ben_vulpes: you see people
this is actually
the vile shit
mircea_popescu: it's unavoidable, she's
the server, scheduling naturally resides with her, which...
ben_vulpes: you know
that gangbang where ladybird's really running
the show?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes maybe
they just wanna play conect-r with her.
mircea_popescu: to my great shame,
those eyebrows are
the only
thing i recall of
this girl.
mircea_popescu: so mp goes "go and buy some vodka". everyone (~dozen ppls) gets drunk offa half
the bottle. girl drinks other half. her eyebrows slowly but surely keep rising all
through
the night)
mircea_popescu: (tru story : mp was once at a guy's bday party, very smart coder guy.
the party -
total cockfest. mp's escort only girl in
the room. mp sighs and goes got any booze ?
mircea_popescu: sorry ben, im affraid
the wine's more runny
than you'd like it./
mircea_popescu: anyway, we're also going
to
the place's best porterhouse steak imo, so
there is
that.
ben_vulpes: so actually entertainingly, one of
the decent sex parties happens in
the warehouse where i used
to house
the boys.
ben_vulpes: mk well i've got my intel applied
to 'milongas
that don't mind shitty enthusiastic gringos
too much' and also 'milongas where i should just sit and watch' as backup so i'm not
terrifically concerned.
mircea_popescu: unless
they fuck it up, which... argentines are famously unreliable.
ben_vulpes: look i'm making a reference
to
the plethora of local fauna.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: well if you're going
to
the events listed on
the homepage for noobs...
ben_vulpes: is it one of
those silly 'performances' where dinner is stupid expensive and you watch a
theatrical
thinger?
mircea_popescu: "Have fun, meet new friends and become a part of
the Sesso Community. Become a volunteer at Club Sesso!" dude...
ben_vulpes: on a previous branch, i'm far more interested in a) vino b) carne and c)
tango
than
the local whatever whatever
mircea_popescu: oh, swinger's club.
the local
thing i visited and cursed closed meanwhile.
ben_vulpes: anyways, no,
thank you, i'll not impose
that on
the gentle asshats
mircea_popescu: not
that you'd conceivably need it, what
they do here is print little 3x2 papers and stick
them everywhere.
mircea_popescu: neways, you can has list of pickup places, ie, where
the girls go
to work.
ben_vulpes: i'd not presume
to encroach on your area
mircea_popescu: if it makes you feel any better i was saying
the same in
teh us.
ben_vulpes: all i hear is "jesus fuck
these people are retarded"
ben_vulpes: i've club sesso right down
the street.
ben_vulpes: your reports of
the local bdsm scene are *not* a sales pitch.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, prostitution being legal, and
the universities being in session...
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes errywhere. if you folks feel like it we'll go check out
the local bdsm club.
ben_vulpes: i am emailing my father right now
to see if
that model is still in his basement
