mircea_popescu: heh. the web progresses, alf. what do you want all those old websites for.
mircea_popescu: anyway, but the misnotaiton : it's not /a/ it's /ə/. dr/ə/kula.
mircea_popescu: if alf had a kid and he was worth a ro name he'd probably be alfisor
mircea_popescu: now the ~kid~, was named draculea /drəkulea/. this is a diminutive, exactly in the way "little boots" worked in latin. the term'd denote exactly that, little dragon-guy spawn.
mircea_popescu: if anyone's curious, the "drakula" thing is phonetic misnotation. the guy's father, vlad, was surnamed dracul /drakul/. drac means devil in modern romanian, but it also meant dragon at the time (1400s). dracul is articled form, -ul is how you make "the x" from "an x". the man got the surname because of german decoration he wore, which to locals looked like dragon.
mircea_popescu: the amusing thing being that these are in the vast majority male. for all the black eyes women get for free.
mircea_popescu: and the simile is, "if your lungs and liver and etcetera worked the way you code, you'd be just as dead as this guy."
mircea_popescu: this is what education is all about : putting the inept's ineptitude in terms he can understand. simile is the fundamental device thereof.
mircea_popescu: don't like the guy's driving, shoot his kid. sure, "kid is innocent", "that was uncalled for" bla bla. point fucking remains -- now he has to make another one, which takes no driving. at driving -- he sucks, so he can't appreciate what that means. putatively at other thing he doesn't suck nearly as much, so he CAN appreciate.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the most important thing being that they must be ~shot~. it's not that you lose "standing in the profession you were befouling". you must lose unrelated things.
mircea_popescu: the romans specifically and explicitly despised men that thought.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the romans didn't think. the romans did.
mircea_popescu: it works for the same reason ratios don't work in prisons etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but the usual retellings don't include the EMH reference, there's no explanation as to why it worked.
mircea_popescu: efficient market hypothesis -- he correctly judged that by the time music is being played and dancing is going on, the faux beggars had pushed out the real ones.
mircea_popescu: vlad tepes famously offered lavish banquet for the city poor (which at the time meant, men crippled so they can not work, are reduced to begging). he gave them ~ two hours, after which burned down the thing / guards cut down anyone trying to get out.
mircea_popescu: but the best thing that you could do as google manager is, have swat teams round up all the employees in a field somewhere, randomly shoot 10% and tell the rest the next round of shooting is in six weeks, they'd better impress.
mircea_popescu: right. stalin had the right idea -- some remnants even visible under putin.
mircea_popescu: their copy has all the virtues of a xerox of a statue.
mircea_popescu: they tried to copy what they thought the great america was doing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i still can't fucking believe the ivan ivanov thing.
mircea_popescu: then stalin gave amnesty for people willing to fight zee germanz, and a bunch went. when they were picked up later for going back to the life... well... there were some philosophical disagreements inside.
mircea_popescu: vory/suka, for the record, is this ancient dispute in ru penal system, whereby it is verboten for respectable criminal to help the government. this going about as far as the jews, dudes won't push a fucking button.
mircea_popescu: ie, the us krill is laughably vulnerable while tiny, sometimes transitions into outrageously mendacious through growing larger.
mircea_popescu: the way scum reproduction works is that when scum's tiny it does dumb shit like this and nobody really cares about it ; then as it grows up it moves to stealing mysql and naming it something else, like facebook.
mircea_popescu: i'd ask what firebase is but by now it's getting ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: 2013, right ? PUBLISHED. online. "nobody knows". oh, who's mp, that guy who pre-leaked the original cable leak by like a day and forced guardian & friends to release ??? NEVER HEARD OF HIM!!11
mircea_popescu: so they installed all the trampolines and tubes and whatnot, and guess what -- the retards spawned by the dumbest generation of autists in history LOVED IT!!11 omaigerd it's literally like being six all over again! there's even stylisized changing station on the wall to remind us of how mom "had to" keep us in diapers till we went to school! OMG LOVE!!!
mircea_popescu: story of kid who gave up on dating because he finally discovered masturbation, all hail Saint Elliot Rodgers, the martyr of his people.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-17#1657324 << funnily mirror of the "We used to go out and talk to women, which was interesting, but it turns out you don't need to do all that, as there's all these... um... uh... massive...errr... data..sets, yeah, that's right, massive datasets to explore!"
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-17#1657315 << there's very little interest to even ask who the fuck this peter norvig is. i was going to the first time it popped up five lines up, but then i was, eh, whatever. i guess ima ask since it got discussed a little. who the fuck is peter norvig ?
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: worst fucking franchise in history, but whatever, it had subtext about blacks and shit, such art.
mircea_popescu: then they show up at the office and expect it to be "the office", and why should people have them do work, just make an offer already.
mircea_popescu: but they're not learning anything, which is to say, as a self-transformative activity. they're "learning" in the sense of "raising awareness" about themselves, which is to say : they expect, or rather act as if they rightfully expected, that the whole world changes so as to accomodate them as they are. that's the whole story of this "learning".
mircea_popescu: it fucking didn't, which is the fucking point. ~IT~ didn't.
mircea_popescu: or, for that matter the lulzy story of how us "coalition" works out in practice. "gee, i wonder what happens if we have no soldiers and keep paying arabs to soldier for us...."
mircea_popescu: i thought you just keep uncapped barrel of oil around, dip chainsaw in now and again.
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that a) trump decides what's secret and what isn't and b) lolreally ? wtf did the blue state imagine diplomacy is ? reading the fake news outloud ?
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, washpo aggitating over how trump gave putin "Secret Infoz!"
mircea_popescu: obviously not the fucking same question for the deeply retarded female that waited to be 50 first.
mircea_popescu: isn't this a little like the 18 yo girlie asking "what'd getting into fucking this late get me anyways, people'd been fucking forever"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes let me guess, the ever-sweet delusion that there's room "for everyone" and that whether random sack of flesh burns or achieves is somehow my fucking problem, not its fucking problem, cuz im supposed to be his mommy.
mircea_popescu: perfect medium for knowledge : while you wait for them to show up, you become more knowledgeable.
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing as genuine naivite enduring over half a decade unchanged.
mircea_popescu: the whole "so email him" comes with quite the heavy backhand. there's no washing of the treason of not showing up.
mircea_popescu: no way to wash this, and i will prosecute them. all, the same scum.
mircea_popescu: there is no difference in this sense between nubbins, an idle idiot, and nanotube, a respectable professor. scammers known like theymos and lukejr, supposedly honest idiots like szabo, agents known like gavin or unknown like whatever others have this much in commom -- the call was made, and they strayed.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not even a rando. the newborn has the excuse that he wasn't there to hear the calling ; but the dorks who frittered their time away in presence have no excuse, nor any way to wash the shame of their cowardly, subhuman build.
mircea_popescu: ua logging -otc since 2013, still not made a key ? what is this, some kind of joke ?
mircea_popescu: where by newspaper we mean the whole gamut of fake news, from redditwittetardopedia to "the new socialist" or w/e it's called.
mircea_popescu: but the general point being : the anglotard narrative is fundamentally broken. it's not you know, "broadly correct, needs adjustment". it can't be fixed. whatever you read in english newspaper makes you dumber, and you can't fix this.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, same as in korea - 20 years of slowly fading away.
mircea_popescu: borders are quite closed, to eg, esl precious cuntlet.
mircea_popescu: but ~just~ like. on schedule to "spit it out" 2025 or so.
mircea_popescu: chinese help. you know, just like n korea had ru help.
mircea_popescu: by now, pretty much everything, all the way to diesel trucks, tractors etc.
mircea_popescu: whereas korea... whatever. it's gone, has been gone for decades.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the reason i point out burma is because the coup was successful, and the country is industrializing at chinese pace.
mircea_popescu: notice how silent the "crowd wisdom" is about all that ?
