mircea_popescu: this identification of "any feeling at all" with "bad" in the mental collective is why bush needn't cary any responsability for his empire's failure in the middle east (i don't mean, "his empire failing to achieve something or the other in that locale", i mean "the empire failing, aka ending, at that place", much like if i say "clinton's aneurism at 15th chelsea street" i mean the dork fell in the street, not that the stre
mircea_popescu: yet "o mama teribila" is rather superlative in the original lang.
mircea_popescu: it ~merely~ denotes something capable of striking terror. at which point yes, esltard will readily observe "same with terrible", and inquire interiorily "how could this be, inspire terror and not be terrible, aka bad ?!?!"
mircea_popescu: it's how mom&dad negotiations work, neh ? "ok, ima go to college (sorta) but you get new car".
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, i misspoke. not "what more you want" but "nobody could say there'd be more wanted", exactly in g. costanza's terms, "she can'tr say i;m not comfortable".
mircea_popescu: thus therefore -- since he's given the discount ONCE -- what more you want ?
mircea_popescu: this is, you must agree, a significant discount from his usual 10`000% of the return for 0.01% of the work.

mircea_popescu: competent skunkwork engineer is caen-classified as "make own using published scheme"
mircea_popescu: as ~evidently enough there's not 10k earths around, but one, and as just as evidently russia ain't going along with ustarded "valuations", so even "Whole earth" is too high to reach, well... fellow "can't motivate himself"
mircea_popescu: and it just as genuinely explains for your benefit why "nobody made anything". for someone to have done 100% of the work of the competent sunkworks engineer, that someone'd have expected to be paid 10`000`000% the whole earth.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, mno, this is, genuinely, the self-valuation of labour.
mircea_popescu: that's the leverage involved : for 1% or so of being a salesman, fellow would like 10`000% or so of being the corporation's president.
mircea_popescu: the dood's self-valuation is there very much transparent : he wants to do a quarter hour of unskilled work ; and he wants to be paid 5k for it, ie about a week and a half's worth of skilled work.
mircea_popescu: this is like wondering how come nobody on wikipedia went "fuck you all, ima write my own play".
mircea_popescu: in principle that's what utter failure to commercialize'd look like : item sells by the unit at 100x mark-up rather than by the barge at 1% mark-up.

mircea_popescu: trilema intertextual self-reference reaching new peaks!
mircea_popescu: you don't mean "One time I want to draw your attention to #selection-387.154-389.22 while some other time #selection-43.21-43.46 is the point of interest." ? that's deliberate!
mircea_popescu: just like in their view, the fact that they befouled science with their politico idiocy means something about science. they didn't, by their lights, made the profession of "earth scientist" nigh on impossible for the average man. they, on the contrary, are forcing my hand when it comes to such topics.
mircea_popescu: so in their view, the fact that the uniturds ~are already there~ binds us to forever keeping them.
mircea_popescu: "what do you mean, you will burn ALL the books ?!?!" "of course i will, keks."
mircea_popescu: a mistake powered by the fact that up until they came about tradition consisted of naggum's library. so of copurse thinking man wouldn't part with it.
