mircea_popescu: it's what they do 10-20 years before beaching over on okcupid, as best as my xenomorph psychology studies dept can explain
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just a simple "hello how goes it ?" ??? | grep for a "how about you" if found feed a "great, here's turtles". works shockingly well.
mircea_popescu: even fucking eliza had a) less success and b) more preloads.
mircea_popescu: anyway, "AI" consisting of hello-and-1-response is seeing > 50% success rate. can you imagine this ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, turns out the under-30 female crowd is nuts about baby turtles
mircea_popescu: in other sads, fetlife profile now getting >100 pieces of mail a day. da fuck am i gonna do, assign slave to manage it ?
mircea_popescu: as to the above : these are marginal schmucks! their only chance to matter is to go be meaningful in faraway lands.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun know yet, gotta see what BingoBoingo comes up with.
mircea_popescu: (speaking of which -- bitcoin DID overperform Berkshire over the interval. by... somewhat of a margin.)
mircea_popescu: ned for that yudkowsky character and just as so following.
mircea_popescu: "that's the state's job, man, to make sure!" ie, exact empire.
mircea_popescu: right, that's it. he just dun want to there be any jews. clearly unites nazi antisemitism with soviet antisemitism with etcetera. socialism, ie, dear lord protect us dumbasses from our betters.
mircea_popescu: he doesn't specifically care if it's 1500s german peasant life, ie, outright medieval peonage. just as long.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in the very strict sense of "anyone whose name you'd see in schoolbooks"
mircea_popescu: i suspect actual item orc wants is a land where there's no smart people.
mircea_popescu: above and besides the "worker's paradise" as described in badly penned fiction of the recently literate cca 1910s.
mircea_popescu: it's not altogether clear to me that he wants anything for himself,
mircea_popescu: just, he was born orc and she was born east coast hottie.
mircea_popescu: so he's not eschewing anything, he's just as pantsuit as the pantsuited hilarity herself.
mircea_popescu: but i am convinced that strictly, very and absolutely strictly the only reason why mr adrian crisan is spending his afternoon writing up that and then xeroxing it in preference of say "editing wikipedia" or "working for google" as a "moderator" is that he does not perceive how the later would deliver him more usg empire per unit effort than the former.
mircea_popescu: the dedication of the imperial peons is remarkable, worthy of a greater goal as it may find itself.
mircea_popescu: so to get back to mr crisan quoted above : the reason he isn't sitting atop a computer/car/hairblower/starbucks coffee cup is that he doesn't yet understand HOW such item would forward / is requisite for his notion of "a republic" == usgstan. because that is ABSOLUTELY ALL he is interested in, and will give no half a spare cycle to any other consideration, period and fuck you.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this understanding is judicious : unless "the state" manages to get dosh out of india or whatever the fuck to pay living wages for people at home to be "british citizens" there ain't gonna be no fucken empire!
mircea_popescu: (dude's idea of the progressive republic that the reactionary evil men don't let good folk build is a state where it's illegal to pay your debts. his wife inquires whence will people be paid [because evidently everyone's employed by the state, it is after all 1880s romania], and he says that's the state's fucking problem, what's it for!)
mircea_popescu: LEONIDA (în luptă cu somnul): Treaba statului, domnule, el ce grije are? pentru ce-l avem pe el? e datoria lui să-ngrijească să aibă oamenii lefurile la vreme..."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the winner part for this discussion being "EFIMIȚA: Dacă n-o mai plăti niminea bir, soro, de unde or să aibă cetățenii leafă?
mircea_popescu: you might greatly enjoy conu leonida fata cu reactiunea btw, ever read that one ?
mircea_popescu: this EXACT fellow, living in 2010, was in fact satirized in... 1880! by caragiale.
mircea_popescu: well, litmi as the researcher decides. but to my eyes, the simple fact that he imagines this is how democracy works as a statal matter ("dragi concetateni" is "beloved fellow citizens", ie smacking very much of "les trois glorieuses", not that he'd know) is enough.
mircea_popescu: i eschew buying fucking apple laptop. he eschews nothing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am laughing at him because of many other things ; included among them that he DIDNT eschew buying comp, simply did not understand what it was.
mircea_popescu: well, certainly in a way no redditard/hackernewstard/etc could ever be suspected.
mircea_popescu: it's clean romanian and well composed. also shockingly honest.
mircea_popescu: Dragi concetateni, Dupa cum stiti OTV-ul are campanie de culegere de semnaturi in sprijinul legii Cojocaru in cadrul emisiunii lui Tudor Barbu : "Se intimpla acum". Am pornit din proprie initiativa o mica campanie pe Bd. Gh. Lazar pentru ca sunt blocuri turn cu multe familii pe scara desi [...]
mircea_popescu: he had a xerox in his mental space because readily available and cheap (lotta students live nearby) ; but not a wp.
mircea_popescu: i doubt it's that. i suspect orc simply did not know what this wordprocessor thing is.
mircea_popescu: why ? why would a dude too dumb to distinguish facebook from the internet do this ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, i had no fucking idea, back in 2010, what a big deal a random photograph of mailboix spam will become in not even a decade. but it IS a huge deal. consider -- that guy, who IS NOT the proponent, WROTE!!! by hand!!! ie just like
http://trilema.com/2017/of-ducks-and-lameness/ !! so as to stuff my mailbox with xerocopies.
mircea_popescu: similarily, we imagine the usg is a thing, independent and of itself, rather than correctly understanding "usg is the PRODUCT of what the orcs will believe, very much in the
http://trilema.com/2014/la-florida-and-other-places/ sense ; usg is what's left after all the items impossible as far as orcs are concerned were removed ; much like byzantium was "what's left after we eliminated everything the bulgarians wouldn't buy".
mircea_popescu: it's a very similar disbelief to the "what the fuck makes epitelial cells admit ringworm?!?!?!"
mircea_popescu: very ethnologically interesting, but WHAT the fuck makes the orcs produce these ?
mircea_popescu: HOW exactly they do this is incomprehensible. but consider : guy who was 3rd echelon politruk under shoemaker ; guy who was too dumb / poorly connected to make anything of the 90s, resurfaces in 2010! with a "proposal" which consists of "here's this adaptation of usg-isms as i understand them".
mircea_popescu: this is straight "living wage"-ism deployed by old marginal ro orc politruk trying to get back on horse.
mircea_popescu: which, amusingly, is less than rando spammer above managed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seems very likely google images automated banditry.
mircea_popescu: wtf nonsense dns do these people use ? dig doesn't produce an ip ?!
mircea_popescu: so basically your blog is a subdomain on nfshost.com is why no ip addressing ?
mircea_popescu: o wow check it out, this was pretty advanced (class names randomgenerated strings to fool google etc)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bw $$$. they're very sensitive to it, best way to hurt them.
mircea_popescu: it redirected me to some kind of "option trading" scamsite.
mircea_popescu: lol i think i deposited a btc back when it was a few hundy
