mircea_popescu: in fact, the "being impressed with science" thing is rather ~same blather as "being impressed with state", recent gaselnita.
mircea_popescu: then again newton himself was not so very impressed with math ; certainly not impressed enough to favour it above his religious studies.
mircea_popescu: religion for as long as it doesn't actually get in the way of what i'm trying to do right now".
mircea_popescu: now, obviously the protest will be "but mp, your example with newton is scandalous, math is a fucking science". yes, it is. in theory. in practice it is not, as far as every non-practician is concerned math is a religion by definition, and what's worse -- even as far as brilliant practicians are concerned! because what else do you make of

☝︎ mircea_popescu: every religion is similar to every other in the fundamental points that a) it is only accessible to the "initiated", the bar for which is never so low as to not demand the subject WANTING TO get it and b) public expenditure (not necessarily in the shape of coin) is not driven by any sort of efficiency paradigm.
mircea_popescu: his position was ~same : this shit makes no sense to me, shouldn't make any sense to you, and in any case should have no temples (ie, public expenditure).
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's significant linkage between eg "If you’re having trouble understanding what any of that means, there are two important points to consider. First, we don’t understand it either. Nobody does. This problem should have rendered it unpublishable in all peer-reviewed, academic journals." and, picking randomly,

☝︎ mircea_popescu: but this sort of bureaucratic scribble is very much not in the vein the matter is taken. nobody's seriously interested in the fact that citations are bullshit -- they're bullshit throughout and this is by and large accepted and deemed acceptable as seen by the whole

☝︎ mircea_popescu: n added c) it is coherent with the rest of the crap his nutty mathematician friends do, so clearly that's the only reason they say "they can tell the lion by his claw".
mircea_popescu: you know, i'm sorry to rain on anyone's parade, but this "skeptic" "post structuralist gender theory" piece is perfectly fine from said perspective. makes fine sense to me. the whole exercise is not so different from "proving" that, eg, newton letters are "pompous" and "improper discourse" because a) he uses a lot of symbols and purpose-made constructs and b) some of the stuff it says is counterintuitive to the layman. with a
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski street urchin is devoid of secondary sexual characteristics.
mircea_popescu: how ~do~ you call it anyway ? the "hates men and capitalism" tomboy that'll beg and if desperate fuck for pay ? like that mentally ill nut with the "scum manifesto"
mircea_popescu: or however you call in english the hooker/pickpocket combo.
mircea_popescu: yeah, this would be "plastic artist", ie, painter. but there's also the you know, "performance artist", ie, tramp.
mircea_popescu: are you thinking "plastic artist" specifically, or do you include all the dorkage, "performance" etc ?
mircea_popescu: and every tiresome hipster thinks himself at least a little hacker. reddit and wikipedia is practically a hax already yes ? LIFEHACKS!
mircea_popescu: maybe the problem is just senescent myopia, i fail to distinguish a hipster from a web designer from a "backend engineer" from an etc.
mircea_popescu: there's no reasonable expectation that 2017 "hacker" can add ; there'll be no reasonable expectation that 2040 "artist" can fuck, or locomote.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes such a disjunction was originally predicated re hackers and hipsters. guess what - 20 years healed the rift.
mircea_popescu: basically they stumbled on metaphysics. very comfortable, all this.
mircea_popescu: i suppose next stop is angry newspaper articles about how global warming burned a bunch of the lychens in some "artist studio" somewhere. because it totally was not the piled up dry garbage.
mircea_popescu: they get a free card. certainly NOT their bumbling idiocy digging the thing in the first place sent gushing meltwater. o no. not that.
mircea_popescu: somehow oddly it's not "our inept activity ruined a previously fine natural space".
mircea_popescu: quite a different story to be eating out cuz want to eat out vs cuz want to eat.
mircea_popescu: rather. just like you know, taking back alimentary independence is making the girls capable to cook anything if need be, not everything all the time.
mircea_popescu: that's the whole story. if you're not ok with your kid cutting up the puppy you bought it to see what's inside, you're not ok with having a dick. there's no stop on the slope.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger come to think about it, the logic actually follows. nature is red in tooth and claw. the hysteria of "removing the red from nature's tooth and claw", usually sold by the "our democracy" lunatics as "rule of law" or equivalent, directly runs all the way to "male penis is not reproductive organ but social construct".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: " The androcentric scientific and meta-scientific evidence that the penis is the male reproductive organ is considered overwhelming and largely uncontroversial."
mircea_popescu: anyway, she was taken in custody in february, is currently sirtting in portugal jail afaik.
mircea_popescu: and that time ain't going a-fucking-way just because hurr, five years passed and there's a new generation of woke dumbasses.
mircea_popescu: there is a reason mp doesn't think much of usg "law enforcement", and that reason is in the vein of the healthy man not thinking much of the sexual competition by the bellhop of notre dame.
mircea_popescu: the point here is that some unworthy criminal organisation daring to pretend to sovereignity has the unmitigated audacity to refuse to prosecute known criminals and then try and talk to me about whatever inept fucking hussles it came up with that quarter.
mircea_popescu: that happened in june 2012, ie, dorks read trilema, figured they could pull off the scam of offering faux variant of item, and went for it.
mircea_popescu: (for the record -- first "company" to announce bitcoin mining asic was the ndrangheta scam of sony vleisides ("butterfly labs"), an ex-con dealing while under supervised release in breach ofr the terms of that release which the "tough on crime" usg has never yet prosecuted.)
mircea_popescu: it's a good thing i'm right... now and again. LUCK!!11
mircea_popescu: "independent contractors", ie govt paper pushers without health insurance or pensions. if they don't have a job, what do they do ? shoot hillary ?
mircea_popescu: and if it stopped, they'd have to find some other way to bribe the populace.
mircea_popescu: "if it dun feel like much of a fuck, she might sit put a turn."
mircea_popescu: "we support urethra-only penis ; easier for end user, plus more octopus compatible this way too!"
mircea_popescu: how do they have sex, these people ? "this part of the penis she might feel, please ablate" ?

mircea_popescu: i can't explain it outside of fundamental alienation. dude can't pick up in bars like normal people, figures he wants this crap ?\
mircea_popescu: i suppose i don't actually use the mouse that much huh
mircea_popescu: i pgup the terminal. i generally don't use the mouse to select text, except in some circumstances, and even then only to land. ctrl-arrow etc toi actually select. and i dun much cad, nor can i stand it.
mircea_popescu: for what it's worth, married whore fare is always one of two : either how much money her husband is making, or how little say he has in things and matters.
mircea_popescu: i'm not particularly against. very little more amusing than obviously tenner-a-blowjob latinos derping about how they found some loser and hurr durr.
mircea_popescu: as per my lights, genuine dumb broad braying her stuff.
mircea_popescu: but recently been getting major $$$ from all the pantsuit supports desperately trying to avoid outright dekulakization.
mircea_popescu: (bates, fwiw, is a "liberal arts" place. not sure why they pretend to a math dept.)
mircea_popescu: r ~exactly identical dumb whores who didn't have the chance / utter and unmitigated priviledge of being picked out of the gutter by self-hating libertard.
mircea_popescu: entirely unsurprisingly, adriana salerno aka
https://www.bates.edu/mathematics/faculty-staff/salerno-adriana-j/ is some random whore from venezuela who a) has no research to show for the food and board "patriarchy" gave her and b) wishes to scold people who fed and clothe her for free because "they aren't doing enough", while she herself is not catching first flight back to caracas to be raped into the dirt like all the othe
mircea_popescu: not so hard to make ; purchase parts separately -- some assembly necessary.
mircea_popescu: from what the girls report, the prevalence of adult male who owns nothing beyond jeans and tshirts is 30% or more.

mircea_popescu: if i consult as to what stupid whore random idiot should not marry, i expect him to pay for the fucking drinks.
