Namworld: I don't mind dying if
that's what you're implying, or feel
threatened by death in any serious way.
radan: it's always very young people and
the insecure who want immortality
radan: I also
think you really don't have a direction in life, but maybe you'll prove me wrong
radan: I have a feeling
they're very short sighted ones
radan: what standards do you use
to judge
things
Namworld: It's not like you need
the whole of it
to participate
to go
to space.
Namworld: It doesn't matter if
the whole of humanity doesn't work
together. Humanity isn't a damn ant colony. Why would it work
together as a whole?
radan: but not
to
the extent of autism
Mats_cd03: there is so much more
than epigenetics in play
radan: it's not a disease our ancestors ever had
to deal with
radan: it's what's behind
the recent outbreaks of autism in
the west
Mats_cd03: wheres
that ms immunology dude
that can explain
this better
than me
mircea_popescu: he's right. humans will only work
together as a whore.
Mats_cd03: its amusing
that people
talk about genes as
though its a single cohesive entity
Namworld: Go do some research work for
that.
radan: humans will never work
together
Namworld: Or you know,
there's ~99.9% of genes in commons between any human and
the next. Maybe if you want
to promote your genes and people close genetically, you should consider all humans
the same and work on ensuring humans can colonize space.
That would help your genes' survival. Most of
them.
mircea_popescu: actually... few people know but at some point bulgaria was
the major kingdom in se europe
Mats_cd03: longitudinal study beats all
the stupid links
that have been appearing as evidence in
this channel
radan: slavim
te, romanie
mircea_popescu: Îndrăznesc ca să rostească pân' şi numele
tău... ţară!"
Mats_cd03: im going
to pour chlorine in your gene pool
mircea_popescu: that aside, amusingly enough,
the romanian natl poet seems
to have hated bulgarians (and greeks)
Namworld: So what, you purport
to promote your own genes, you should promote people close genetically and crush
the rest?
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of difference between say
transylvania and
the south even in romania.
ThickAsThieves: so radan is here
to puke his
top-of-mind reading requirements all over us
radan: Romanians and Bulgarians both have 70%+ old
thracian genes
Namworld: I
think I know where
this is headed.
Namworld: I have no clue. Radan is unhappy about
the world and keeps mentioning jews and about mating and promoting his gene pool.
radan: so I'm
the process of founding a society
radan: because
the beelets
they do raise are genetically close
to
them
mircea_popescu: <radan>
that's irresponsible and leads
to bad effects. << dfude srsly. if i want a green eyed mulatto for breakfast, i'm porking a green eyed mulatto for breakfast. what "bad effects"
radan: honey bees survive despite 75% of
them having no children
dignork: radan, your personal point of existence is reproduction? Your life is boring I
tell ya.
Namworld: You'd better
travel
the world and rape every women along
the way like Genghis Khan.
Namworld: You plan
to live your life exclusively around optimal gene dissemination?
BingoBoingo: I wonder is ReutersEmily is filling out a requisition for a few bitcents
to get
Trilema credits
radan: it matters because reproduction is
the whole point of our existence
Namworld: If you're having a single partner,
then yes, maybe
that's
the best course of action. But
then again, what does it matter?
radan: "The researchers suggest marrying
third and fourth cousins is so optimal for reproduction because
they sort of have
the "best of both worlds." While first-cousin couples could have inbreeding problems, couples who are far-removed from each other could have genetic incompatibilities."
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I imagine
the BTC peanut gallery has
the inverse problem of
the one I supposed
the media had in
the morning's post
radan: third cousins, on
the other hand, improve
the genetic stock
benkay: it's how
they maintain fitness across
the whole smorgasbord.
radan: that's irresponsible and leads
to bad effects.
Namworld: Thus will mate with however
they prefer, not based on genes.
radan: Jews have been marrying
their first cousins for millenia
Namworld: More offsprings with more diverse genes is still better statistically. Never said people actually strived for it.
They
tend
to prefer personally enjoyement over ensuring
their genes survive.
benkay: subject of bitlord of cascadia,
the campaign has begun and is doing quite well,
ty for asking. simply by showing up
to
the 'meetups', calling out scams and repeatedly hammering on points such as 'btc ≠ consumer
tech' has rendered unto me many lunches and dinners paid for by cautious and quiet folk of wealth and power.
Namworld: Even
then, it's still because
they're separated. People don't know it's ideal
typically, and don't usually care about it. If
they can't be assed
to get
to
the next neighborhood
to have sex and still speciation occurs, what can you do about it?
mircea_popescu: news
travels fast, unless you're in
the bitcoin peanut gallery.
radan: I
tend
to remember what I read
radan: or a statistics class, for
that matter.
radan: or you've never
taken a biology class
Namworld: So
they don't come in contact with each other.
That's when
the get speciated....
Namworld: Species separate because
they are physically separated and cannot
travel easily/evolve in a different environment.
radan: somehow
they speciated
Namworld: Mixing your genes with more of
the same, less risk of improvements. Many offspring with different genetic partners, more chance of having a good combination.
radan: because
the hybrid state would have a higher chance of survival
radan: there would be no reason
to adapt
to different conditions
mircea_popescu: you understand
that even if
the entire population only reproduced on strict mixing guidelines
there'd still be a bunch of blondes etc.
Namworld: You want
to reproduce with people with as different genetics as possible, and as big a variety as possible.
radan: there would be no diversity in
the world.
radan: then
the optimal look for people would be a coffee-skinned melange
dignork: radan, idea of keen was born way before discovery of genes,
they just happened
to snap right into your bizzare view of world, it's a pure coincidence
Namworld: Difference is good, when it comes
to genetics,
typically.
Namworld: It actually reduces
the chance of your genes going on.
radan: who are "as chaff unto
the wheat"
radan: than people with no genetic link
to me
radan: so I'd rather help people out who are close
to me, genetically
Namworld: I'm sure piece of coal was used already somewhere by a
thousand different people, and I might have read something similar. Pretty sure
the sentence is original.
That or brought out from a subconscious memory.
radan: the whole point of our existence is
to further our genes
radan: when you remove
the distractions
benkay: whoa whoa whoa mircea_popescu are you
trolling me?!
ThickAsThieves: <mircea_popescu>
ThickAsThieves funny how your list of "i used
to
think but" keeps swelling // via reading, experience, or boredom, I shall
transcend!
Namworld: I don't know, first black
thing which popped in my mind.
mircea_popescu: radan it's not so hard
to do you know, and neither expensive.
radan: "me against my brother, my brothers and me against my cousins,
then my cousins and me against strangers"
mircea_popescu: Namworld
the piece of coal conceit is actually quite good. yours or read somewhere ?
radan: anyway,
they have a saying
Namworld: You're a sad little piece of coal, brushing off darkness on everything, your understanding of
the world is skewed. See, I can play
that game
too.
radan: dr. popescu, have you heard of
the bedouin
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves funny how your list of "i used
to
think but" keeps swelling
benkay: wth is going on in here
this morning?
