mircea_popescu: "So for example, even if someone is unfailingly nice
to you, if
that person is an asshole
to everyone else,

punkman: "So, how would an eigendemocracy suss out
the
truth about who
trusts whom on which subject? I don’t have a very good answer
to

to suggestions. The best idea so far is
to use Facebook for
this purpose, but I don’t know exactly how."

bitcoinpete: to use an analogy, fighting over a lifted
toilet seat is easier
than addressing
the broken marriage
mircea_popescu: lol
that blondie vid is
the
tits. by her face you'd
think she
thinks she's singing inside a huge churning blender.
mircea_popescu: the systemic problems however... nobody wants
to
talk about
those.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete well she actually does have a point.
the shreds of data people are making a big deal about are likely statistical noise.
mircea_popescu: and so
trying
to
translate it mostly yields word salad
mircea_popescu: most of
the stuff
they write is practically chinese (ie, doesn't follow romanian
topic conventions (as in most latin languages you can order
the words either plainly or meaningfully in romanian),
they layer an abundance of cultured reference in between common metaphor (which is a process of significating
that goes one step further
than
the idiom, roughly used
to be known in english as conceit back before

the style of Eve: <<< well... "going
to", anyway.
bitcoinpete: "It is highly unlikely
that most Americans feel
the current rise in prices as noise. Inflation has a way of eating into every penny
that you have especially when
the market is flooded with debt."
mircea_popescu: benkay:
there are some gems. some. << well of course. but
the guy didn't say "there's going
to be A
total knockout born somewhere in
the US"
mircea_popescu: benkay: <Vexual> not atc\ // i can't
tell if
this is
the real Vexual or if his nick's been suborned by

to what, before ?
mircea_popescu: " In
the next 2 days 18 indie bands in Shoreditch will name

mircea_popescu: i doubt
the guy's confused per se. looks more like, we're lulzy
to him.
mircea_popescu: punkman
that's a direct (ie, word-for-word, idiom-blind)
translation of a highly
tensed romanian
text.
bitcoinpete: at
the club i ran into some classmates from highschool.
the looks on
their faces were pretty golden
mircea_popescu: woman may enjoy
to laugh, but proper analogy brings
this innocent sense of wonder forth
mircea_popescu: (yes, it is my considered opinion
that
the one sine qua non condition for successful flirting is
the device of analogy. anything else people insist upon, such as looking good, being funny, having money or w/e is piss)
bitcoinpete: you shoulda seen me at
the club on friday night

bitcoinpete: lol pete is already one of
those bible doods
bitcoinpete: we understand
them, just generate
them with difficulty
bitcoinpete: it's definitely hard for native english speakers
to come up with our own sex analogies
mircea_popescu: it's a process much akin
to inclusive franchise - more likely
to yield better ballot results.
mircea_popescu: i certainly use a lot of sex analogies in work fields specifically because people [english speakers] so deliberately compartimentalise
the
two
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete
there is something
to
the afieldness
theory i
think.
bitcoinpete: "According
to
the analogy
theory, it’s because making analogies requires
thinking across
traditional mental categories. In fact, some cognitive scientists have proposed
that
the farther
the analogy—that is,
the farther apart
the previous experience and new situation—the more likely it will lead
to a radically new idea." << hocus "science" but a point
mircea_popescu: in
this sense, you don't want either democracy or strong government, because neither democracy nor strong government are capable of acting differently from
the weak spirited but rich parent of an estranged daughter.
mircea_popescu: sort-of like
the
teenage slut born
to wealth
that skips a lot of school, and gets herself knocked up. not only is she getting some candy
to "compensate" her for
the abortion, but she also gets
to blame her cocaine habit on
the bad boy
that "seduced" her.
mircea_popescu: and obviously,
there's no prize for
the people
that ran safe stacks.
there's a prize for
those who didn't, who now get
to a) bundle a lot of unrelated responmsibility and blame it on
this known cause and b) ask for more money.
mircea_popescu: people doing "navy manuals" and whatever
the fuck use decent software stacks for a limited
time only.
