mircea_popescu: and what's
the eggcartons made out of,
that
they stapled
to
their walls, so we don't hear
the
trills ?
mircea_popescu could certainly be wrong ; but it certainly couldn't be
the case
that i'd be wrong in such a way "as nobody could ever know".
mircea_popescu: seems
to me
they're mining our coin. just like before.
mircea_popescu: if you'd be right, we'd have discovered a #trilema not
twice
the size (as yellow man pop vs white man pop) but >20
times
the size (because hey, efficiency, yes ?). and by size i do not mean headcount.
mircea_popescu: yes. but montezuma has no idea what he's
talking about.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in exactly
the sense snow you piss on "is pretty good at copying
the color while discarding
the wetness".
mircea_popescu: it becomes a success when "the iron! my god,
the iron!" say
the locals upon beholding
the franks.
mircea_popescu: a large, bureaucratic state existed before -- incas had it
too. it is not a success just because it gets a lot of cows
to be docile.
mircea_popescu: china exists briefly
today for copying white man culture.
mircea_popescu: the merits don't matter,
the problem is
that literally,
there.is.nothing.else.possible.
mircea_popescu: and in
this sense,
the opponents of multiculturalism are deeply fucktarded (as
the proponents see
them) in attempting
to argue
the merits.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile multiculturalism failed not on
the merits of
the idea, but because
there is no iron whatsoever
to be had. it's either white man culture or stupidity highway.
mircea_popescu: ie, industrialization worked because it's a good idea ~and also~ because
there was coal AND iron available superficially. and where
the latter not satisfied, such as aztec empire, not worked.
mircea_popescu: specifically,
the ~notion~, bereft of any meat, as a skeletal abstraction only,
that "mixing improves overal outcomes" ran into
the reality
that
the only available alternative
to white man's culture is nation-of-africa powered militant idiocy.
mircea_popescu: i am by now well persuaded
that
this is a place where it ~didn't~ happen.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 14:27 mircea_popescu:
there is no, strictly speaking, reason
that iron MUST be provided on
the surface of a planet just like
the earth. it ~could~, very well, have simply gone
through a place poor in planetoids and ended up entirely iron free on
the surface. but it did not.
mircea_popescu: mulatto chicks as a fenotype provide
the members of
the remarkable stupid chick group almost exclusively.
mircea_popescu: if it's not evident by now,
there's pretty strong statistical correlation between loud, outspoken, militant idiocy and skin
tone.
trinque: where is
the environmentalist outcry for nuking
the congo, I ask.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: There's a couple places near
the Brasilero border
that do see
the occasional pulgada of
the white stuff
BingoBoingo: I mean as in angle, no way
the local homes could
take much snow
BingoBoingo: Well,
the big stylstic difference between new and old country is
the lack of pitch on
these roofs
BingoBoingo: There's quite of few of
those within a couple blocks of
the habitation unit
BingoBoingo: The churches are how you evaluate whether a barrio was once a
town or if it is a new espansion favela
BingoBoingo: Then in
the center of most barrios
there's a historical core surviving from when
the barrios were wee little
towns
BingoBoingo: It lacks beach and
thusly gets
to stay afro barrio
BingoBoingo: Nah,
they built
that arch in designated afro barrio from
the start
BingoBoingo: During your
trip we didn't have much occasion
to venture into
the AfroUruguayo barro or
the old city
BingoBoingo: Except
the A/A on
the balconito would be Panavox
BingoBoingo: There's entire streets in barrio sur and Palermo built like
that
BingoBoingo: Kinda like Fallout happened IRL and here's
this city on
the edge of
the world
the missed out
BingoBoingo: Anyways,
the architecture here has its own charm.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, Barrio Carrasco where
the expo was is considerably in
the White Suburban style. Drive-thrus and parking lots everywhere
BingoBoingo: Anyways, now I have
to explain she was seeing Argentina's version of my barrio
trying
to compensate for its lack of beach, while Argentina in general is more like her barrio.
BingoBoingo: And
today I learned
there is a "Highland" in Indiana
too
BingoBoingo: And so
the Peruana has returned from from Argentina with stories of "Todo es mas linda ahí, hay subte..."
mircea_popescu: (yes, i'm kinda fishing for someone
to go "it's 13 x 17 and you know, you're cheating by picking
these, illustrating human stupidity not objective hardness".)
diana_coman: uhm, eleven-ness was 232 sort of
thing i.e. ..ah, I see vs 223
mircea_popescu: so
they spend most of
the
time
trying
to fit 11 into it,
then
they lose it.
diana_coman: I kind of suspect it's either pressure on
the spot or people not really used
to mental maths
diana_coman: come
to
think of it re 221 I don't get it; even without a calc, still: 2 no because odd, 3 no because 2+2+1=5, 5 no because 1 at end, 7 no because 21,
then 11, 11 no because 22, 1, 13
takes a bit perhaps but...
diana_coman tends
to err on
the side of "no way are
they going
to kill my
talk on
THIS"
diana_coman: well,
they obv had
their laptops and whatnot, so yeah, I counted on "with calcs" hence larger
diana_coman: but uhm, 13 is
the 6th number max one would
try; with a calc at hand, it can't
take more
than 2 minutes
mircea_popescu: fwiw, /me has settled on 221 as
the perfect number
to build "what is asym crypto" around. experimentally, NOBODY knows it's 13 * 17 nor manages
to find out.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I was expecting
them
to be even harder
to get
to so overall I'm quite pleased with it; now if at least one of
them actually *does* something
too as a result,
that'd be already bonus
mircea_popescu: diana_coman honestly,
the summary very acceptable, detailed and so on. just, you're missing out on a possible fanbase!
diana_coman: mircea_popescu,
that might be it re mic - while I can certainly screech if
try, I usually don't; never had problems with audience not hearing me but
the recording ugh
diana_coman: basically I could have a chat with
them all and I know
their faces already without any
trouble
diana_coman: they were "supposed
to be 40" I've been
told afterwards
mircea_popescu: 2000s went away,
to be replaced by 2010s and soon enough 2020s.
diana_coman: but yeah, it can't be
that much; anyways, it's done, not as if I'm running after making presentations, ugh;
diana_coman: yeah, I did not even consider getting
the gear myself - if
they weren't so inept re org I'd have just ask
the uni
to provide, wtf
mircea_popescu: could also get yourself a hat put one of
those car cameras on it.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how into
this you are, but if you like it might as well gear up.
mircea_popescu: can get
those
too,
ten bux or so, with a wireless connection.
diana_coman: basically
the only
time it worked fine it was with a mic attached and
that was it
diana_coman: but how clear; well, at any rate I can always
try it again, won't hurt; I *did* consider it but remembered last
time I cursed at such a "recording" and ...
