mircea_popescu: even if
that were so, it's a different belief from impotence-on-wheels.
mircea_popescu: in a sense,
there's never been
things
that were contained of as little
thingness. really, 1ppm or less ? such performance
takes surprise, fear and a fanatical devotion
to
the pope.
mircea_popescu: do you realise less
than one in a million hits anything
these days ?! never has
the quarry/bullet relationship been
this
tenuous.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suppose
the best illustration for
this problem is ye olde bullet. as proper a quanta of civilisation as one might ever pick.
mircea_popescu: then "consumerism" is
the perfect hidey hut for
this state of affairs -- "oh, we're dedicated
to
the production of
things" "yes, for as long as
they lack any substance".
mircea_popescu: in short, it's better because it produces no
things and lots of words --
the ideal state for
the jwz.
that's what neil simon wants of life, yes, a situation where no
things issue but as many words as possible.
mircea_popescu: basically, "all humans could be any other humans, and if
they aren't it's because NOT YET". much better
than whatever marat believed in, or
the jacobins, or etc. and here by "better" we mean both a) inconsequential, improductive, entirely steriole and b) flashy, marketable
mircea_popescu: much like
the united states were stuck because
the only king
they had avaialble didn't want
the job, ended up enthroning a length of poster.
mircea_popescu: there's
this nonsense
that emerged as a replacement jolly-joker philosophy out of
the french revolution.
they had a major problem picking something
to believe in, and eventually settled on "humanism" in
the "enlightenment" sense of
the
term.

than in a metaphorical sense.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-20 18:05 asciilifeform: revisiting upthread : if mircea_popescu , or even say wykeham professor of logic ,
tells me 'yer a
tard, problem is very simple' i'ma yes, nod, and not
try
to somehow argue
that not. but it dun magically grow asciilifeform moar brain, can only go and
think, and possibly one day
think out of paper bag, how else.
mircea_popescu: the notion of
this imaginary "perfectibility" of
the individual human had
to crash eventually.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-20 17:43 mircea_popescu: anyway, yes, "it makes me so nervous but i
trust you" explains
the difference -- slave's well advantaged wrt zek. who's a zek
to
trust, he's supposed
to be something entirely else.
mircea_popescu: he same role as
the chunk of wood on dog's collar, prevents it from going
through
the bars"
a111: Logged on 2018-06-22 04:08 mircea_popescu: btw, did we do
the "you
too can be novelist, buy our narrative card deck and kit" 1800s us entrepreneurialism ?
mircea_popescu: rather,
tis
the necessary blossom of bogart's "all
that dun ammount
to a hill of beans in
this crazy world".
the necessary result of
the "rationalist" fallacy (seen sprawling in say
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-22#1828645 ) and
the century reversal of
the penile fixation (from stuffy vienna's "civilised world" anxiety of "what if dad cuts it off"
to
today's stuffy washington's "civilised world" anxity of "what if it plays
t ☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-08-20 18:21 mircea_popescu will confess he always found it suspicious how a buncha derps who "never heard of
trilema" somehow magically decided
they're really women
trapped in wrong bodies
the VERY FUCKING MOMENT male market value dropped
to nothing at all.
mircea_popescu: right. i pick heuristically rather
than systematically.
mircea_popescu: how about
that! isn't
that
the greatest pun
that ever lived ?
mircea_popescu: the first and foremost
task before every would-be "intelligence", artificial or otherwise, is
to silence
the johnson noise.
mircea_popescu: somehow unknown in
the days of Denn
träf‘ jede Kugel apart ihren Mann wo kriegten die Könige ihre Soldaten dann?

☟︎ mircea_popescu: at least we have a working model of how
this whole "psychological
transsexualism" business work. "trapped" my fucking left foot.
mircea_popescu: the other side of "it works if you work it" being obviously
that you gotta work it
till it works.

there for all eternity,
to confront generations of bright
teenagers
that'll
take about five minutes
to figure out she's a furniture, and maybe not
torture her for it. maybe.
mod6: hey nice!
Thanks Gentlemen.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-05 23:50 mircea_popescu: aww poor bb lost weight! how you holding up down
there ?
a111: Logged on 2018-05-04 16:30 BingoBoingo: more heavily
to
the end of
the year? As it is I am still effectively paying out of my diminishing savings
to live amongst
the retards.
mircea_popescu is strategically "fortunate", no longer has
to ask "now how is it i manage" a few years later.
this, of course, happenstance.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-20 17:39 asciilifeform: dun
think
there is much in
the practicals for asciilifeform & similar zeks
to learn from
the gurlz
tho.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-17 01:42 mircea_popescu: but
the notion
that anyone ever wanted a male is
the most ridiculous nonsense ever. other
than for steaks, xy has no use.
mircea_popescu: anyway, yes, "it makes me so nervous but i
trust you" explains
the difference -- slave's well advantaged wrt zek. who's a zek
to
trust, he's supposed
to be something entirely else.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well, she graduated with honros from college, apparently
that does it.
mircea_popescu: nobody ever learns from another other
than in a metaphorical sense.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but
then again, everyone gotta fuck his own ass in his own bed of nails, or w/e it is.
mircea_popescu: it's fucking easy
to leave, and you're a moron for staying
this long.
mircea_popescu: whereas
the females (generally enriched by a divorce, more rarely by a "career" ie stealing from men via
tax/administrative apparatus rather
than via "alimony"/court apparatus) stick and
try
to hilary.
mircea_popescu: usually males, and usually after a divorce, whence
they discovered
that
the land is utterly hostile.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they're ubiquitous. nobody with any sense stays in
the ustard lands ; which is why
the us is so overpoweringly stupid. suffers from
the africa effect -- everyone who's still
there, still
there FOR A REASON.
mircea_popescu: so by
this logic,
the obvious
thing i'd want
to do is go
to
the place where idiots just like him
take whores hired for
the weekend,
to
trade my decade+ committed personal whores for
their mercenary randos. because
totally, i can't hire my own weekend whores if i feel like it, i gotta participate in
the best buy of cunt.
mircea_popescu: like, we
totally gotta go
there someday. because
the fact
that
their local "girlfriend" who "isn't a puta" but "you support, you know, financially" and "don't know if she'll be around in six months, or for
that matter
two" is immediately gravitating
to my girls has ~0
to do with
the fact
they've been here years and speak less spanish
than my bmw, and with
the fact
that
the REASON
they never learned it is because
they fucking
mircea_popescu: which somehow reminds me --
the general reaction of
the average retarded gringo ("retired" here because "Rich" etc dontcha know) upon running across my peculiar domestic arrangements ("she's my slave") is
to propose
they're hip
to
the whole scene, and mention swinger's clubs.
