Namworld: I seem to recall... hmm, let me check
radan: I'm not sure where you get that I'm confused about daring from
Namworld: You said it was important to be manly and fearless to get girls, yet seemed confused as how to date in modern society. Your personality doesn't fit the modern culture. You say the culture is bad. Perhaps that is true, but you've given no justifications to it. Just that it doesn't fit you.
radan: at times
asciilifeform: radan: variation on the theme of Po's 'Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła'
radan: then the investment is ruined
radan: and they don't have any kids
radan: let's say you help out someone who'se close to you
radan: but I've thought about it a lot longer than you have
radan: and I'm impressed that you thought it out enough to reach that conclusion
radan: that's actually true
Namworld: You say that there is no purpose other than spreading genes, yet you're obsessed with promoting an arbitrarily sized sample of people with similar genes. You could scale up or down with a more specific or more generic group and call it promoting close genes all the same.
radan: thanks for the analysis, freud
Namworld: It's more of a question of individuality and who you are, which is not falling close to the average.
mircea_popescu: next you're going toi tell me you didn't know romania had a warez scene and we can all go to bed.
Namworld: My point is that you're contradicting yourself. You're saying the world is wrong, not you, because they don't fit your ideal. While there is technically no one that is right or wrong.
mircea_popescu: greatly helped along by the fact that every other noun means either cunt, whore or fucking
asciilifeform: i can tell, yes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is true.
asciilifeform: it/sp/ro, etc. 'singable' languages are very amenable to the soviet linguist (hard head, wall, dictionary) treatment
mircea_popescu: Namworld is getting trolled into booklet length responses by now i see.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: blew my mind how much of it i was able to digest
Namworld: You can't shape yourself to fit in where you don't belong. Or at least shouldn't.
Namworld: feeling like you don't belong and choosing to live the lifestyle you want, but your arguments about what's wrong with the world are off. The world isn't wrong, it is simply wrong for you.
Namworld: For one who said there is no purpose, you sure are quite obsessed with race. For one who said how being manly and fearless and getting girls is important, you sure seem afraid and lost as to how to act in a modern society to get it. For one who said modern culture is dust, you sure seem eager to go away and adopt an old one almost not practicioned anymore. There's nothing wrong with
mircea_popescu: radan well, let's see then... hmm... prolly bug mafia for oyu.
radan: it's what bulgarian music would sound like if it wasn't for the turks, I think
rithm: My personal fave: Because these idiots won’t fucking die already, everyone else has to be inconvenienced. I deeply regret this. If it were practical I’d just kill them all with my own hand. Unfortunately, it is not practical, and so with my deepest and most sincere apologies to sane people everywhere I have to modify the MPEx FAQ.
radan: I like romanian music tho
BingoBoingo: rithm: thestringpuller collected it
radan: where do you find this stuff

Radi777: yea cross-race effect that's why i said the joke about blacks and asians lol
mircea_popescu: nah. i'm from transylvania
mircea_popescu: so while the difference exists and they themselves can tell it, it may be the case that for the rest of the world a pigeon is a pigeon.
mircea_popescu: Radi777 turkish secret service guy in istanbul volunteered that i'm definitely not turkish, he bets i'm bulgarian.
radan: anything south of the balkans is basically greece
radan: I personally don't consider macedonians to be my people
asciilifeform: the ones that were required to be 'no taller than a mounted horseman'
Radi777: but its ok for me blacks look the same, and assians....LOL
asciilifeform: radan: do you still have the underground churches over there?
radan: they're usually haplogroup E and from the macedonian part of BG
Radi777: this guy saying every bulgarian he met looks turkish lol either have seen only gypsies or turkish bulgarians, no real turkish looks like a real bulgarian..big difference
nubbins`: ah, i see the s.mg bet is slowly growing larger

radan: the kid was considered turkish
radan: whenever a turk married a bulgarian (or greek, or romanian, or serb etc.)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes! i wanted this as a kid even.
mircea_popescu: i would like to visit the paralel universe where the arab invasion of egypt didn't happen, and the original tall lanky egyptians still roamed free
asciilifeform: i, too, would like to visit the parallel universe where the ottomans didn't happen.
radan: there hasn't been any turkish genetic impact on bulgaria
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he's talking of an idealised pre-turkish time obv.
asciilifeform: virtually all of the bulgars i've ever met looked exactly like every turk i ever met...
nubbins`: so it should be interesting to see how these moose steaks turn out.
mircea_popescu: btw, got a link to the bulgarian version ?
nubbins`: well, i have to say i'm questioning the wisdom of a recipe that calls for 1/4 cup of soy sauce AND a tablespoon of salt
radan: were it not for the turks
radan: and farmers on both sides of the brother saw themselves as the same people
radan: there was once a time when herders crossed from the carpathians to the balkans at will
radan: I prefer to focus on our ancient brotherhood than any arbitrary divisions imposed by the western world
asciilifeform: bulgaria... total 'депресняк'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's because the composers were drunk.
asciilifeform: sov. music about dead ww2 folks tends to be cheerful
radan: which is a cultural construct and thus irrelevant
radan: but that's language.
radan: the slavic influence on romanian is much greater than the reverse
radan: beyond the genetic
radan: I don't think the vlachs had any influence on modern bulgaria
mircea_popescu: "we used to be great but everyone raped us, for the past millenium. even the romanians"
radan: you're probably asking about that

asciilifeform: radan: bulgarian? perhaps you can tell me how come every statue in bulgaria has a beautifully depressing song that comes with it.
radan: east of the vistula
radan: lermontov is the best author
mircea_popescu: how was that quote, i speak french to my horse, german to my wife and russian to the chickens ?
mircea_popescu: as romanians don't really translate eastern stuff and happily ignore us stuff

nubbins`: a good chunk of mine is actually in .epub format, but through the wondrous Calibre, conversion is but a click away

mircea_popescu: there's oil in that bookshale!
ThickAsThieves: he's confusing his private conversation with being as topical as Emily's public one
Namworld: Other than genetic involvement.
BingoBoingo: So @bobmcmillan seems to be under the impression we had a long DM conversation. Is he confusing me with mircea_popescu
Namworld: The reason or two being: 1. Having done everything without success 2. Not having been the legal guardian and involved at all
nubbins`: anyway, you're always posting interesting snippets. would love to examine your bookshelf
asciilifeform: radan: there is a serbian song about exactly this!
