mircea_popescu: it's plants which have been selected for the only hopefully-economically-useful trait available. which is already a very distant push.
mircea_popescu: so effort was instead moved to plants, which are three degrees of magnitude simpler. there, the approach works, you blast a square mile worth of soy with random nonsense and then select the few plants still standing. which is how the whole "glycosate-resistent" craze started : it's not DESIGNER plants.
mircea_popescu: so, originally genetic experiments were carried out on mammals, hence dolly the cloned sheep. it rapidly became obvious that the only available tech ("throw shit at wall, maybe something sticks") is a terrible fit for the complexity of mammals, and there's absolutely no hope of obtaining iondustrially usable results this generation there.
mircea_popescu: sigh. alright, here, let me give you a primer on genetics as a tehcnological consideration, so you can impress the "what happened to mp" ass-up-buttholes with your transcendental scholarship.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the way you make this is that in a dry and cold cellar you emplace a tun, 100 liters say. then fill it with whole cabbages. then add brine and some spices. then let it sit a few months.
mircea_popescu: kanzure do you understand how current "genetic engineering" works ? specifically why it's done to corn not sheep ?
mircea_popescu: kanzure the model whereby you "attract funding" for "your idea" is fundamentally broken. i don't mean a little broken, i mean fundamentally broken -- it makes it impossible to actually have an idea, which is why your "attempt to find the most controversial conceivable notion" ended up with "what bit of fashionable nonsense could i waste my life with in the optimisitc but ultimately baseless hope it'll be worthy my or anyone's
mircea_popescu: really, "i wonder what happened to the clouds, i've not been out of basement for a decade, poor clouds, they must be faring poorly"
mircea_popescu: THIS is what your money's fucking buying omfg, "i live in the country so i can spend 80k a year on renting a cardboard box and have nice coasters which are worse than a fucking pile of dried goat shit"
mircea_popescu: now : the sheen on the top adheres to wet glasses, which in this climate is ALL of them. so you get floating coasters.
mircea_popescu: cuz i TOTALLY need pretty colorful pictures on my fucking coasters, lest my brain turns off or some shit.
mircea_popescu: here's the problems with "expensive, upscale" coasters : they're not a square of cut up cork, like you'd expect if they were you know, uncivilised, unglamorous, un-internet-of-things orcfare. no. they're a thin strip of cork glued to cardboard with some shiny drawings on top.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and in other shit i will now randombly whine about : i bought these coasters, right ? cuz i was in some random mall picking up some chick and we went in an "upscale" libreria and well, i dunno, i impulse bought some fucking coasters. she thought they were expensive.
mircea_popescu: i guess. there's an inch of soil and under that basalt, you understand. there's a reason jungle soil is poor -- all of it gets washed into ocean.
mircea_popescu: shinohai if i lived in a jivilized country with jews in it i'd just have some cabbage juice. sadly, no cellars here. too hot, too wet.
mircea_popescu: the problem with hanging out with sluts is well known to soccer moms. kids are fine, you're fucking dead.
mircea_popescu: well, unless i am actually coming down with something.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron such lulz. "oh, it's totally not a honeypot". really ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, they should write to google. iirc they are now hosting kerbs on their "totally not for bloggers" shared server, what's another one.
mircea_popescu: lol wait what, "kicked off tor" ? isn't that what tor's for ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo aha. seems rather exactly the pantsuit next play.
mircea_popescu: who can afford to pound a pound of almond seeds into fine dust by hand ? teh sultan of swing, and him only!
mircea_popescu: teh very respectable southern poverty law center. and i bet you bitcoin to donuts they didn't actually pay jack for it, either.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: o btw, speaking of yest fight. guess who bought advertising asciilifeform ?
mircea_popescu: but in any case prolly safe to say that the problems of the westerners were solitude, and inferiorty complex v-a-v majesty of nature. couldn't give less of a shit re "problems of society" for lack of one, or any desire for one. certainly the women had the healthy "if there's a cock i'm sticking in into me" attitude.
mircea_popescu: anyway. old blues (such as you may enter via say for the south-west fitzgerald, or for plain west joplin say) is probably a better path into late 1800/very early 1900s as far as the territories go.
mircea_popescu: the place was fucked from day one, as far as anyone knows. there was no point when it belonged among humanity.
mircea_popescu: ie, this ridiculous retrospective rewriting of old west history whereby "the women" were somehow trying to make tombstone into cambridge (a ridiculous pile of pretense perhaps best exemplified by "ride a crooked trail") is just that : ridiculous retrospective rewriting. earlier bout of the whole "what happened ain't what happened ; what happened is what jew said happened".
mircea_popescu: the stupid cunt universally depicted in movies comes from the boston common, a one square mile area of little distinction.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not even it ; but the western woman was a hardy beast of burden, such as men properly gave them the vote in oregon.
mircea_popescu: im not really familiar enough with the west to say ; but i expect this is simply not true.
mircea_popescu: so no. retirement as in the beach is for 25 yo mp, who retires because he feels like it not because he's not got another option.
mircea_popescu: tell you what : people who can get it up get it up, and fuck the whores. people who wait for preconditions still can't get it up even should the specifically-chosen-to-be-unsatisfiable preconditions somehow magically got satisfied.
mircea_popescu: isn't that exactly what retires means ? give up any actual involvement to focus on verbiage instead ?
mircea_popescu: i expect one of the smarter kids, figured out he doesn't meet table stakes and retired early.
mircea_popescu: i similarily always end up with marx ziggler stuff when looking for socialist related docs.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-27#1703695 << to quote the definitive formulation of this particular bit of post ww2 new-us-soviet propaganda (delivered by cagney in the roaring twenties), "there's a new kind of setup you don't understand. guys don't go tearing things apart like we used to. people try to build things up. that's what lloyd's trying to do. in this new setup... you and me don't belong."
☝︎ mircea_popescu: shinohai oh oh i thoughjt i fucked up the link ben_vulpes pointed out.
mircea_popescu: recall the "neobee will make cyprus matter" lulz ? same exact scotland-goes-to-darien gambit.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, pretty sure the match was made on the basis of, undefeated boxer meets largerst ppv draw in history.
mircea_popescu: (to his credit he sorta did that, i've never seen so many jabs to the chuck in my life)
mircea_popescu: "nevermind controlling the space with your right, he's not very aggressive. outflank him lots and lots and LOTS, he'll get dizy, not used to flankers"
mircea_popescu: "don't waste your energy sending strong jabs into this dude's block, his wrists are made for soaking up joules", for instance.
mircea_popescu: mcgregor isn't like you know, man on the street nobody in teh mma world.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes dude is forty ffs. if your precious mma trainings can't help you beat up an old boxer, wtf was it for.
