mircea_popescu: i dunno, maybe you're right, and
the problem is i've predetermined not
to see it. but
then again
this is a
terrifyingly weak argument, because of its association with a dutch moron called søren, whose bright idea it was
to propose
that
the reason you don't see what distinguishes his fsm from all
the others is
that you don't want
to!!!

the result being
that behaviour in
the walrus gif
a111: Logged on 2018-12-31 03:56 mircea_popescu: Mocky if
this may help you
take heart, ~everyone's employability is ~epsilon in
the us. "jobs" work as alt-welfare conduits, no genuine productivity is present or contemplated.
mircea_popescu: the begging and
the drinking are states, both items switch
through
them.
mircea_popescu: this is a difference of all
the substance of "difference between car and car is
that car is parked while car is moving"
mircea_popescu: well,
this is where
the wasp analogy breaks down -- because
there is no way
to distinguish between
the speshul snowflake "engineer" and
the speshul snoflake douchebag.
mircea_popescu: chimichurri, who is a boy, went once
to
the lake, where a dominant duck
tried
to fuck him.
mircea_popescu: in
the very strict
terminology of
the
turing
test : if you get a mystery box you can't explain whether it contains
type 1 moron or
type 2 moron.
mircea_popescu: ie, not merely "just says wasp". i am actually saying
there is no way
to distinguish between
the
two.
mircea_popescu: the "d00d designing
turbine parts in broom-closet-sized office" and " i'm not even convinced
there's any meat involved" are physically and entirely
the same exact
thing.
a111: Logged on 2015-04-26 03:24 mircea_popescu: i see nobody wishes
to engage
the cunt problem. but yes, IT DOES RUN ON PERL.
mircea_popescu: it's not merely
that he can't "progress" in "levels" such
that empire gives him an exception.
mircea_popescu: but in any case -- regrettably,
there is absolutely ~no glamour~ associated with
the red stapler guy.
mircea_popescu: in
that
they're (as you well poined out) readily equivalent
to "ai",
they don't ~have
to~ see a face.
mircea_popescu: i suppose in
this
the model breaks down, with
the advent of pseudo"technology",
the shy withdrawing
type can "HackerCombat LLC is a news site, which acts as a source of information for IT security professionals across
the world. We have lived it for more
than 1 year since 2017, sharing IT expert guidance and insight, [...] " bla bla bla all day long.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: prisons are run with a view
to economy --
to get something, you must first not need it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i got a secret for you :
the shy withdrawing kind almost never get
the hole.
mircea_popescu: cuz if it's
the NOT,
then what
the hell's
the difference ?
mircea_popescu: seems
to me either you're arguing "berth of freedom from inca" or you're not arguing it. which specifically is it ?
mircea_popescu: are you proposing
the general population and
the solitary confinement are not in
the same prison ?
mircea_popescu: rather
than fantasizing about an island in
the sea where
they bla bla bla.
mircea_popescu: yes, but back
then
the bois aspiring
to "an independent life" had enough sense
to join highway brigands
mircea_popescu: the empire is more
than willing
to do without bread ; it is not willing
to do without stupid.
mircea_popescu: point being --
the boyish fantasy of "i'll get SO SMART
they'll have
to let me be" does not in practice work.
mircea_popescu: if i had just said "they'll fire
themselves" it'd have seemed like rhetoric.
mircea_popescu: look in
the history of early ustarded yahoos "starting businesses".
mircea_popescu: i understand why
the notion is interesting, as i understand why
the fantasy is appealing. but a fantasy it is.
mircea_popescu: yes,
this is how my life went in
the ~other~ socialism ; and in
the "transition"
thereafter. but it is NOT
the case anyone lives like
this in
the us.
mircea_popescu: as a factual matter,
there is not
the object contemplated in
the reich : a
thinker so valuable in his
thinking, usgistic socialism gives him a berth.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: whichever bank his last pretense
to shopdom rests on, in
the shape of bank accounts.
mircea_popescu: there is no engineer so valuable in his geekery he exceeds
the valuableness of
the last set of jocks
to win one for
the ole' red, white & blue.
mircea_popescu: ie, returning conquering heroes.
they didn't get away with putting
the precious cuntlets in
their
tailhookers place ; and
that was
THE LAST
TIME.
mircea_popescu: in
the sense
that if you, joe mc speshul, employed at excellence inc
to do very-important-whatever walk onto campus during
their "women can
think" festival and urinate on
the speaker in contempt,
mircea_popescu: in short : you ~did~ sign
the damned
thing whether
they bothered
to print one
to give you
to sign or not.
mircea_popescu: in some places. but in
the fifty contiguous shitholes, it comes in "admittedly feedlot" and "deniedly feedlot" flaours.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, should quarantine be established,
the differences imagined by
the cattle between billy bob and
that slick asshole at
the industrial farm down
the streed vanish
mircea_popescu: consider
the very similar case of cattle farm : cattle may
think billy bob farmer is an ok guy, and doesn't even go
to
town
that often.
mircea_popescu: in
the end what i'm saying is
this : what you perceive as
two
types (with, and without mammie) are
the same
type, with mammie.
the without-mammie
type is illegal.
the perceived without-mammie
type is merely a particularly cheap outft, where your position is so low you're not showed it.
mircea_popescu: the quataris also don't routinely introduce
the indian slaves
to
the qatari admin office.
mircea_popescu: again -- just because you personally never saw
the face of
the usg allocated mamie in charge of usg.aspect in question doesn't mean jack. she's still
there, and she's still getting
the same per capita.
mircea_popescu: yet mocky is buried under
the polar opposite of
that -- "security clearance" bs.
mircea_popescu: to cursory examination it'd be
the cheapest/sweetest fruit for
them, ~nothing else a prospective employer could say scores nearly as highly with prospective employees ~worth employing~.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason neither methlabs nor sane workplaces ~advertise~. "come work here, we don't do
the whole usg bs".
mircea_popescu: so yes, i guess "went bankrupt,
totally existed, i promise -- never made money never had employees" etc works in
the sense of exception.
mircea_popescu: pretense
to
the contrary howsoever instantiated notwithstanding.
mircea_popescu: i guarantee you you signed "code of conduct" and promised not
to "sexually harass" coworkers and filed in your
tax forms and whatnot. ALL of
the whatnot.
mircea_popescu: when i discuss some random cuntlet and you propose she's inexistent, i get you concretes. when you discuss some imaginary item, you don't extend
the same courtesy.
mircea_popescu: it is literally forbidden in
the sense cooking meth is.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 16:12 asciilifeform: an incidentally interesting bit is
that gardens are an 'unprincipled exception' in usgdom just as
they were in su.
theoretically a garden aficionado owes every 4th
tomato or whatever his 'bracket' is,
to usg, as
tax;
things
that grow from
the ground count, famously, as 'income' -- even if not sold -- per 'wickard v. filburn'
