mats: it looks like a
turd
mircea_popescu: had
the meddlesome leopold been still involved, how was england
to push south africa
to abandon rhodesia, with empty promises
that once
the man shots his own dog,
the man won't be hanged himself.
decimation: it's a good
thing
the Congo is independent and
thriving, now
that it lacks
the
terrible yoke of Leopold
mircea_popescu: infographs ?
ted
talks ? yep, about as un-novel as dirt.
mircea_popescu: given point; if compacted
together in a body,
they would occupy more ground
than St. Louis covers, World's Fair and all; if
they should all clap
their bony hands at once,
the grisly crash would be heard a distance of --" Damnation, it makes me
tired!"
mircea_popescu: s, whose purpose is
to make sentimental people shudder, and prejudice
them against me.
They remark
that "if
the innocent blood shed in
the Congo State by King Leopold were put in buckets and
the buckets placed side by side,
the line would stretch 2,000 miles; if
the skeletons of his
ten millions of starved and butchered dead could rise up and march in single file, it would
take
them seven months and four days
to pass a
mircea_popescu: "they will resurrect and give new currency
to such
things as
those, or
to any other
things
that count against me, but
they will not mention any act of mine
that is in my favor. I have spent more money on art
than any other monarch of my
time, and
they know it. Do
they speak of it, do
they
tell about it? No,
they do not.
They prefer
to work up what
they call "ghastly statistics" into offensive kindergarten object lesson
mircea_popescu: it's actually how bismarck beat england into a pulp, and created
the first germany.
mircea_popescu: extract compensation under
threat, make sure compensation > kicking. let
the cycle wear itself out.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the 'kick
the beast
till it bites,
then shoot it' observation is valid. i propose
the solution is for
the beast
to
threaten indefinitely.
mircea_popescu: perhaps aided by
the very homosexual attitudes of
teh men at
the
time.
mircea_popescu: and so kept
telling
the women about how politics should "properly" be set by old men around pulpits.
mircea_popescu: the prohibition was not merely idiocy. it was a particular sort of vindictive idiocy, where
the pencildicks got upset
that politics was set by men, around beer
mircea_popescu: of course, before
they sunk
the south,
they sunk
the so called "tavern lobby"
mircea_popescu: and it further
turns out
that
the method has been in use for well over 150 years.
mircea_popescu: turns out
the first gaddafi was actually
the king of belgium
mircea_popescu: wholly of my "Congo butchers," "the very men whose acts were
to be inquired into."
mircea_popescu: They
tell how England required of me a Commission of Inquiry into Congo atrocities, and how,
to quiet
that meddling country, with its disagreeable Congo Reform Association, made up of earls and bishops and John Morleys and university grandees and other dudes, more interested in other people's business
than
their own, I appointed it. Did it stop
their mouths? No,
they merely pointed out
that it was a commission composed
mircea_popescu: love, and who is
the sleepless guardian and friend of all who suffer.
They
tell only what is against me,
they will not
tell what is in my favor.
mircea_popescu: They
tell it all: how I am wiping a nation of friendless creatures out of existence by every form of murder, for my private pocket's sake. But
they never say, although
they know it,
that I have labored in
the cause of religion at
the same
time and all
the
time, and have sent missionaries
there (of a "convenient stripe," as
they phrase it),
to
teach
them
the error of
their ways and bring
them
to Him who is all mercy and
mircea_popescu: it can be a special, delegated key for
this purpose alone.
kakobrekla: yeah so youll be able
to point finger at innocent kako
kakobrekla: having key automatically sign
the
thing is meh
decimation: it accomplished nothing politically, but it's a good sourcebook for rough calculations of
this sort
decimation: the same guy who popularized ldpc codes wrote
that book, which details
the mathematical idiocy of 'renewables'
mats: i bet
the smell is awful
decimation: asciilifeform:
http://www.withouthotair.com/cD/page_284.shtml "The power per unit area of bioethanol from corn is astonishingly low. Just for fun, let’s report
the numbers first in archaic units. 1 acre produces 122 bushels of corn per year, which makes 122 × 2.6 US gallons of ethanol, which at 84 000 BTU per gallon means a power per unit area of just 0.02 W/m2E – and we haven’t
taken into account any of
the energy losses in
mircea_popescu: nature does
these contortions, because nature's a whore.
mircea_popescu: yes but simply making solar panels
the same size or price would yield more.
mircea_popescu: decimation but
then you'ver just shown why
they'd rightfully not expect
to be biodisel'd. 1 in 1000 shot.
decimation: fractionary << yes, ferment one, educate 1000 (at
the fuel pump!)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this is a good objection. which is why i'm not fixated on ecology.
decimation: I
thought
the point of
the biodiesiel was
to encourage
the others
mircea_popescu: do
the math, of what's
the cost per calorie
to fatten a woman
mircea_popescu: further still :
they expect
to not have
to do hard physical labour.
mircea_popescu: further :
they expect
to warm
their abode artificially.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes. for instance :
they expect
to not have
to find someone
to be
the sex slave of.
mircea_popescu: it's roughly
the "put pitbull in doorframe and slam door on him" educational
tactic.
mircea_popescu: "shut
the fuck up, get on your knees and suck more cock"
mircea_popescu: and no government yet has had
the audacity
to go
to a group of self impressed idiots and
tell
them
the sort of
thing i say
mircea_popescu: they will have
to be brought back on
their knees somehow
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the guy has a point , and
that point is :
the expectations of us citizens, and
their self valuations, are wildly divergent from reality.
decimation: re: inflation < of course
the
thief is going explain
the benefits of
thieving
mircea_popescu: now, i wouldn't be in favour of
this as a general
thing,
decimation: most urinals are designed
to maximize spashback
mircea_popescu: plus, if you're going
to fuck a girl, it's usually better
to do her in women's.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i used
the girl's locker room in highschool, and i hung out with
the chicks in
their yoga class
too.
mircea_popescu: so wait.
the
thing
that steals sometimes a lot and sometimes a little is
the nerw normal. and so when it only steals a little it...
TRANSFERS money from
the
thief
to
the victim ?
mircea_popescu: " When inflation dips
too low, it
transfers wealth from
those who owe money — companies and mortgage payers —
to
those who hold bonds."
mircea_popescu: decimation anyway, as a male
that usually uses
the women's restroom, im pro
tolerance.
danielpbarron: not breaking from reddit form,
they didn't really have much of a basis
danielpbarron: someone pasted
that link in an irc channel for "reddit christians" from which i was eventually kicked for disputing
their claim
that
The Bible is pro-lgbt
decimation: so, some guy
telling a confused chick
to leave
the locker room is
the same as murdering?
decimation: lol from article: "but really when it comes
to actually creating resources
that support and protect
transgender and other marginalized students,
they have really dragged
their feet and have
taken a really long
time…and in
the meantime students’ lives are at risk.”
decimation: "why don't you guys love
trannys you guys?"
decimation: "Anyway let’s
try
to go back
to first principles a little here. Read
through
the glowing, er, defense of inflation and it boils down
to
the same basic story: ‘oh noes wages are sticky’."
decimation: with
the sudden oil price collapse, all Smart People are now seriously worried about deflation
mircea_popescu: it's gotten
to
the point where inflation's being dressed up as necessary. well... it is. should interest rates move
to a very liberal 5%
the us is unable
to finance even its interest alone.
decimation: but
that's usg policy since at least before wwii
