mircea_popescu: well, evidently "white man" has been making a habit of taking longest blind paths.
mircea_popescu: what's to keep them from kidnapping chelsea clinton, force-feeding her kraft flakes and burying her alive in the vegetable garden.
mircea_popescu: what's to keep them from kidnapping chelsea clinton, force-feeding her kraft flakes and butchering her in december ?
mircea_popescu: i think your theory is outlaying to the point of irrelevance.
mircea_popescu: the definition of "white man" can NOT be that your six or twelve year old is outcompeted in a field by unwhite unman's offspring.
mircea_popescu: (and, incidentally, see how well the ghetto dwellers are adept at that, huh.)
mircea_popescu: historically, finding new sources of food was the ~only job of the brood.
mircea_popescu: preferably in the hollowed out remains of a bank. after burning down the police station.
mircea_popescu: and all this is not to detriment the samurai. the folks went, at night, disguised, and boarded boats (of the tiny fleet) and massacred men and withdrew. they cut down early scouting parties by the bushel. they did more fighting than in any other engagement. it just so happens that all their hard work accounted for less than 1% of the enemy ; and the tornado killed 80%.
mircea_popescu: l age, splendid, voluptuous, non-menstruating nor urinating nor defecating and childfree (or else being able to bring to term within an hour), with bodies not affected by pregnancy or breast-feeding, about 60 cubits (ie 27.5 m) tall and 7 cubits (ie, 3.2 m) wide, transparent to the marrow of their bones, eternally young and hairless except the eyebrows and the head. Plus pure, beautiful and much more besides.
mircea_popescu: That's globalism : the hope, eagerly swallowed, the promise, readily offered, that somehow somewhere there exists another Earth, which works not on real but on ideal principles, and on which every voter, every citizen, every sack of worthless flesh will have it all. Everything they could dream of and more, forty beautiful young maidens, restraining the modest gaze of their wide and lovely eyes, like pearls, companions of equa
mircea_popescu: it all starts when mothers wanting their kid to stop shitting himself prefer, rather than strangle one pour encourager les autres, to i dunno, give him a cookie every time he shat in the designated pot. prepubescent prostitution would have been a healthier habit, and more productive for the wee tyke ; but women are stupid in the sense of exactly this myopia.
mircea_popescu: caftans work, yes, lenders of last resort, harun al rashid, the eye of god. what have you got ?
mircea_popescu: what, mp will say "japanese -- men ; burmese -- dogs" ? maybe he cares, maybe he doesn't. what else you got.
mircea_popescu: hojo sanemasa does not want this to have been in vain. because, if for no other reason, such as pride, vanity, or social consensus, because he only has a finite count of these. they must be employed efficaciously. what now ?
mircea_popescu: he "confronted his death", which is what always, ALWAYS happens when intellect leaves itself to look at the world. what now.
mircea_popescu: understand the problem fairly and well. hojo sanemasa got out of bed, and went to the beach. he could have stayed in bed and pulled on his dick (not! very pointedly not, pulled on concubine's clits and nippes -- that's exactly like showing up for war. if you want an equivallent -- checked his reddit.) what does this fundamental breach entitle him to ?
mircea_popescu: see, the "heroic" heroes... won. so they gotta make bank now, yes ?
mircea_popescu: now... wouldn't you wish to be their sultan ? because perhaps you've not read enough levy strauss & co to know about the function of the scapegoat in primitive societies. they certainly wouldn't mind BELIEVING that you do have infinite wealth. because they need someone for that role. and have. for a long time.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, the sultan of 1001 nights is a guy with infinite wealth ; that is his form, and his function. and the stories about how the virgin got a lot for less than her life are the life and blood of village life. hope, i suppose, after a (very oricsh) fashion.
mircea_popescu: every empire's history is intimately predicated on the invention of some kind of bezzle.
mircea_popescu: so the satrap of fuckistan got paid a gold coin and a golden caftan worth anothjer gold coin, and counted himself happy. whereas the daymio's men couldn't be paid anything upon the kamikaze, and so the4y rebelled.
mircea_popescu: ns they need in order to whatever, motivate themselves.
mircea_popescu: the traditional caliphate, incidentally, exists as a memory today (ie, a cultural mark) and existed historically (ie, as a civilisation) principally, and i do mean that, ~principally~ because an early fellow invented the superb literary device of giving people in payment not just actual value, but caftans! strips of cloth written on! that then they can value to whatever arbitrary value they wish, to offset the absurd valuatio
mircea_popescu: that they're more than willing to hallucinate it in fiction does not of course preclude the actual people stuck with the job of management among the monkeys inventing what best could serve as a palliative.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-08#1623205 << actually, it's a mainstay of oriental fiction, from harun al rashid to pick-your-nawab. the fundamental unsustainability of traditional economies is evident to the economically aware anthropologist, for instance in the fact that the whole echafaudage ends up requiring an underpinning of "infinite wealth" in the literal sense. very much the oriental equivalent of aristotle's fixed p
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "advertising", not mechanical engineer. because bridges actually collapse whereas all "campaigns" can be "a success" even with <10% ROI
mircea_popescu: which is why all the impudent cuntlets want to be "in a creative career" aka hallucinated non-science. if irresponsible activity bereft of verification, ie, the antithesis of science, then their imposture has some space
☟︎ mircea_popescu: intelligence is overrated ; obedience is by far the more important predictor of effectuality however defined and success however measured.
mircea_popescu: i can assure you from experience it is infinitely easier to teach any ~actual~ science to a slavegirl than to an intelligent girl.
mircea_popescu: that's unrelated to the matter that female state hallucinations are hallucinations. from "mit" to "experts" and so called judges etc.
mircea_popescu: including "Los femicidios aumentaron de forma "desmesurada", según admitió ayer Conte Grand. El funcionario dijo que, de acuerdo con las proyecciones estadísticas, este delito aumentó en torno al 1200 por ciento en el último año." et all
mircea_popescu: phf i was vaguely considering sending a an infestor. something reasonable, 2/3 bedroom 2 bathroom proper kitchen ac etc. it does get terribly hot does it.
mircea_popescu: how fortunate are we, to live in the times of such great discoveries.
mircea_popescu: alternatively random guy clicked a link, hasn't even noticed the tab among the symphony of tabs on his ie.
mircea_popescu: i don't see why it's such a big deal, i included all sorts of strange in the logs, what of it ?
mircea_popescu: expect an 80kword novel to be dropped on your heads later this week dear all.
mircea_popescu wanders back to his zuleika rewrite that he's been labouring on since weekend.
mircea_popescu: (gedankenexperiment, what would happen if you could produce any item by thinking about it.)
mircea_popescu: trinque no but it's exactly it, an exercise in serving the phantasmagorical.
mircea_popescu: except for the part where IT IS MY CASH, they could just as well have been "government employees"
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, it's the same. i sent a bunch of girls on a bunch of missions this month, with various wads of cash.
mircea_popescu: the only difference between slavegirl in my household and usg employee is that a) i whip mine and b) after a while they are sensibly better at everything. the usg drones don't get whipped and don't improve.
mircea_popescu: no ; because if a girl who does nothing but fucks up and sucks my cock makes a grand, that grand does not get divided by 0.000000epsilon to result in TWENTY BRILLIONS!!1
mircea_popescu: nobody working for idiot empire makes much. this is a recurrent fantasy of yours, but not more.
