the women become self-aware in
this way
mircea_popescu: a society where women have a say in
their reproductive history will produce a finite number of generations.

the plebs
the vote, you've ended painting, and music.
mircea_popescu: actuially mostly female police seems
to work wel lin columbia
Shakespeare: is your
text also implying
that a society which gives women fair play in
the economy, ie females CEOs, equal pay, etc, is doomed
the same?
mircea_popescu: the answer my friend (as you well know) is
that feminism is not a
theory, nor science, but a marketing ploy.
chetty: no its not,
the roles are part of biology
Shakespeare: merely if it's a role issue more
than a gender one
mircea_popescu: well sure,
that's
the end of it. "could a planet exist with aqueous atmosphere and oceans of air ?"
Shakespeare: could a population
thrive where
the role is reversed?

mircea_popescu: "you may continue
to pretend you're a country just as soon as you come
to
terms with us being immune"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform precisely what
the recent
thing with
the sec was all aobut.
chetty: asciilifeform: you mean
the 'reservations'?
mircea_popescu: and generally
the degree
to which
the society is steeped in it is clearly apparent
mircea_popescu: in it,

Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: they have
this special immunity
thing,
they don't have
to as long as
they stay in
the "foreigner" zone
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you definitely can, iran is more deeply split
than
the ukraine.
mircea_popescu: then we'll get perhaps
to hear all about
the arab nazis on orlov's blog
mircea_popescu: and if
this is
the next
target for
the suddenly found int'l cock of putin,
ozbot: Sharia saw: Iran releases pictures of brutal amputation machine chopping off man's fingers in bid
to
mircea_popescu: (which does not map on iran at all, and which actually in
the future may be
the engine
that liberates
the poor persians from
the smelly arab invaders)
mircea_popescu: afaik
the russian inteligentsia of
today is developing quite a crush on persian cultural achievements.
mircea_popescu: incidentally it is naught but shoicking how little persian exists in english
translations,
mircea_popescu: for
that matter : leadership and lawmaking are quite distinct endeavours.

this was chiefly a us phenomenon.
the us at
the
time was poor and lazy, so most of

nubbins`: either way, imagine being
the guy who discovered
tomatoes are awesome
mircea_popescu: very few got
the high quality
trolling
they were blessed with.
nubbins`: i figured it was because it's from
the nightshade family
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i kept proposing people
to make catnip illegal in
the us
nubbins`: altho
TBH people
thought
tomatoes were bad for people until what,
the 1800s?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah. but also a lot of variation
there.
nubbins`: there's mixed opinions on whether
tomatoes are bad for cats
mircea_popescu: cats are fine, but i've never heard of a cat like

mircea_popescu: anyway,
there's a lot of metabolic diversity under
this "all humans are humans" misguided perception. and it isn't limited

too happy with
the prospect of having
