truffles: a logical person can reach near the comparative level necessary for discourse imo
mircea_popescu: there are much better sources for your particular ideology, such as for instance you know, the people making it.
mircea_popescu: you need dialectics to understand anything, or to form an opinion at all. absent the faculty of comparison, you're not forming an opinion, you're merely parroting an ideology.
truffles: u may not value that opinion but it exists
mircea_popescu: so you'd think.
truffles: but i can have some experience on the matter even if i spoke only 1 language
mircea_popescu: so there you go.
mircea_popescu: in short, you're not nearly enough of a whore to discuss mating habits.
mircea_popescu: well, you speak one language, i speak a dozen. you've lived in one country, i've lived in lots. you're part of one culture, which is remarkable exactly for it's very stylisized relation to reality. i'm part of at least half a dozen different cultural spaces.
mircea_popescu: well yes. i'm not interested in a discussion of "time", as you're not qualified to carry it.
truffles: we're looking at it from diff pov btw, im suggesting best age for the times, ur offering optimal biological time
truffles: how about the male
mircea_popescu: makes no difference. the body works a certain way, and that way is based on function.
truffles: we r living longer though
mircea_popescu: times'd be well advised to adapt to it, cause it ain't happening the other way around.
truffles: i think it should be 25 or later
mircea_popescu: use it or lose it. it has nothing to do with "times", biology is biology.
mircea_popescu: nah. the way the body works, a woman that is going to have children should deliver her first before 18.
mircea_popescu: british chicks too, for that matter.
mircea_popescu: romanian women still marry ~16 if they feel like it.
truffles: ppl make a fuss about that today just saying
mircea_popescu: in general women sew their own stuff, starting about 12ish till they got married. if they were really hot they married by 15 or so, in which case they didn't have the time or the skill to do it. if they were poor they'd have actual labour cut into that "leisure" so equally they had no time.
truffles: i think its cool, i see this woman wearing something really long and flowing all the time
mircea_popescu: most of the women never wore those. that's like sunday garb, it varies a lot by locale and in general only a rich girl could afford a really elaborate version.
truffles: http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/beautiful-singer-posing-traditional-costume-romanian-f-young-folklore-32741888.jpg do most of the women still wear these`
mircea_popescu: you're not a woman till you've showered on the lawn.

herbijudlestoids: if youre well fed and beleive yourself to be mostly secure in your life then its easy to turn a blind eye to many things
herbijudlestoids: i think probably people who dont just havent been exposed to any injustices, yet
mircea_popescu: just as long as we understand who the terrorists are, and who is the legitimate power.
herbijudlestoids: but being morally weak isnt necessarily weakness of character...im just thinking of sabu, because im reading some article about him right now...feds rocked up at his door, he was taking care of neices and didnt want them in foster care
herbijudlestoids: once they know who you are, if they want you they only need to figure out the pressure points, which are largely the same for most
mircea_popescu: obviously the permanence of evil relies on people being morally weak.
herbijudlestoids: easy to say, but for those with something to lose or only in it for the lulz...not everyone thinks of themselves as a soldier
mircea_popescu: obviously the correct way to handle terrorists is not negotiating.
Duffer1: ya they've streamlined extortion, they just go straight to theft
Duffer1: they don't need "donations" asset seizure in the US is one of the most lucrative mechanisms law enforcement has
mircea_popescu: you know, like the us does it.
mircea_popescu: the gist being that they arrested some unfortunate schmuck on trumped up, secret charges and won't relent until he "donates" his fortune to the state
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: i couldnt translate the article, is this one in english about the same thing? http://social.moldova.org/news/vitalie-eriomenco-sentenced-to-12-years-of-illegal-detention-in-transnistria-240915-eng.html
