mircea_popescu: all i'm sayin' is that as batshing insane as it may sound on the face, i have personal experience with the ample supply of "cycling through fifteen channels marking them as read in some inane, personal score-keeping game".
mircea_popescu: the slavegirls are rarely solo when we meet. generally they're in a committed relationship / engaged / whatever. about half the time the beta in question is the "graduate student" type who compulsively answers questions on quora etc.
mircea_popescu: afaik this is common. here's where mp shares a little personal tidbit :
mircea_popescu: "who are you ?" "sorry i can't say because really i want to be a dragon and you'll laugh."

mircea_popescu: it's self contained. you learn what you need by confronting the things here you don't know.
mircea_popescu: and you MAY NOT pretend you're not at the start if you are at the start.
mircea_popescu: noobs learning from anything, be it a thief, be it their mother, be it hillary clinton, be it bernstein, be it ANYONE is very harmful to them.
