threw me off a bit but i certainly subscribe
to

ben_vulpes: notion is
to skip recruitment phase and just go directly
to winning "competition" for arcane local rep

the common pattern is "show up! recruit

ben_vulpes: (in weird metaphor where shop has
tentacles in gulf stream of deal flow)
ben_vulpes: problem being nobody involved can figure if anyone involved with
the charade will actually increase deal surface area
mircea_popescu: also all
that
talk about unsheating your own conscience / not constructing your mental process as a reaction
to bs / etc.
ben_vulpes: notion being: show up; don't pitch; build hilaribad
thing; present like seasoned shartup pros; clean up
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu basically, ignore
the current institutions and
their pretenses at anything, develop a new system exterior
to it
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> [] not without seven oceans' worth of parallelconstructiony-plausibledeniability << what was
that apocryphal "nazi" dropped out of
the plain with "papers" again?
mircea_popescu: take a simple example. "dude, get out of
the us." "no, i'm going
to write my senator."
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski
that is actually a valid point. certainly what i've been doing / saying.
pete_dushenski: considered leftist perversions, without entitlement
to social protection of any kind." << i can't make
this shit up
pete_dushenski: "Neoreactionary socio-political solutions are ultimately Exit-based. In every case, exit is
to be defended against voice. No society or social institution which permits free exit is open
to any further politically efficient criticism, except
that which systematic exit selection itself applies. Given

task for eager student: calculate ROI for each VC firm based on known investments and exits
ben_vulpes: at least you're not stooping so far as

pete_dushenski: plus, i sorta got myself banned from a few press fleets after failing

the party line..
ben_vulpes: till you got kicked off
the circuit lol
ben_vulpes: (that's what
they call it in french canada, right?)
ben_vulpes: my bet is
that
the cars blog poops out
the odd benjamine
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes my guess is either he's running a high end brothel out of
the preppy sluts he grew up with, or else he's living off
teh fambly fortune.
pete_dushenski: rounding corners and squeezing opportunities,
to be as vague as humanly possible

there's even something called neocameralism
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu
the number of brands

them seem
to enjoy contravex so
there's
that
pete_dushenski: i spent a bit of
time
trying
to grok
them since
they came across my desk
this week and it's really quite challenging
to find much positive in
their

pete_dushenski: like us with no interest or understanding in
the workings of power, economics, or politics
pete_dushenski: ha well
these neoreactionist kids are pretty darn confused so it'd be a fair reflection of
that

these namechanging shapeshifters
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you don't understand how
