mircea_popescu: if you imagine you'll have
orlov build you a ship out of a well chosen half walnut that'll perform better in "freakish weather" than a tanker you really should move on to apologetics, what can i say!
a111: Logged on 2016-07-26 18:33 asciilifeform: i thought
orlov was stretching the truth, but apparently not - the new Official Narrative is 'trump is ru agent'
BingoBoingo: AHA, but
Orlov makes a point of NOT using that.
BingoBoingo: Anyways
Orlov's plumbing problem is that when making the boat it should have been a primary rather than secondary consideration. Also wtf, hoses? Rigid copper seems like it would be much better for that application if boar design allowed for sanely routing pipes.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-19 15:54 phf: trinque: it's techno nomad, it's a thing. microship guy doesn't really try to solve same problem as
orlol, it's all different people with personal interests and agendas that don't necessarily compose into a single stereotype
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform asking "What is the minimal money necessary" is like asking "what is the minimum current draw of useful appliance". it depends neh ? for the money
orlov already spent on his pretense (boat, authorship, whatever), egyptian native could have lived entire life happily in the circumstance of "the company of other bipeds being wholly SELECTABLE".
mircea_popescu: actually, further - i think that attempts to solve it on those lines will cost the attempter his life and sanity for no benefit. in other words - i say
orlov is a scammer.
mircea_popescu: i don't think trying to formulate it is madness ; i do think that the
orlov formulation is ridiculous at best.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-19 15:44 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's 'sailboat' is a racing yacht.
orlov's is a (mostly) wind-powered antisocial survival capsule.
phf: even
orlol made a point a few times that he boats not because end of world, but because it's in his nomadic nature. that's distinctly not what asciilifeform is trying to do
phf: trinque: it's techno nomad, it's a thing. microship guy doesn't really try to solve same problem as
orlol, it's all different people with personal interests and agendas that don't necessarily compose into a single stereotype
☟︎ phf: nah, there was that other guy who built a computerized nomadic boat house (i think he started with a computerized recumbent bike in the 80s) and unlike
orlol he actually documented his process very extensively
mircea_popescu never likes the results, but perseveres reading
orlov linked material.
phf: asciilifeform: you were right, four quarters is a large shtf project, using hippie and music festivals to find their operations. i can see why
orlol would like it
a111: Logged on 2014-07-16 19:04 mircea_popescu: "Suppose you have a company that sets out to make a widget. Let's call it Company A. Its founders are all engineers, of an uncompromising sort, and the widget they design and manufacture is of tremendous longevity, durability and overall quality." << hey check out
orlov.
mircea_popescu: oh ers was just begging generically, at the same time
orlov needed new engine
mircea_popescu: people new to the topic of how the democratic cancer spreads may just as well read
orlov's last bit linked by alf, or any other of ten billion treatises on the topic.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform inasmuch as he steal speaks of "its money",
orlov doesn't actually get the turkey dollars thing. he earnestly thinks that there is ONE kind of usdollar, and PART of that one is "wasted". whereas the situation in the field is that there's two kinds, ands the bezzle part can only be bezzled with.
mircea_popescu: he is saying what
orlov is saying, and what yarvin is saying, and what generally the castrated son of a stupid anglo whore is always fucking saying
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Maybe if we ping Herr
Orlov enough it will be done?
mod6: i had to laugh at that last
orlov
assbot: Logged on 02-12-2015 21:15:47; asciilifeform: unless you're of the mircea_popescu or
orlov school of thought, in which case better gifts include horse and kalash
jurov: because
orlov says so?
ascii_field: anyway in usa it is a very simple matter, as described by herr
orlov: near-everybody there is 2 or 3 missed paycheques away from hobo-dom.
mircea_popescu: sure. like
orlov, locklin and eric what's his face. they all live.
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 22:33:16; mircea_popescu: ascii_field: they happily send their sons to army so they can 'die for a fat bitch's right to marry her dog' << wow. that, right there, is more valuable to
orlov's employer than
orlov's entire body of work to date. mebbe you get job offers nao.

orlov fellates the boston harvaprinceyaleton liberast-wing-usg orthodoxy <<< and moscow does not ? puhleaze.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: cuz i might want to be able to distinguish orwell from
orlov
mircea_popescu: check it out thestringpuller you got better score than
orlov.
ascii_field: i must have some 'css' filter in my skull that makes
orlov make sense
mircea_popescu: i guess you'll have to provide offsets with your
orlov links nao
ascii_field is not
orlov and isn't paid by ru; hell, they won't even give him a passport
ascii_field: this is not ~strictly~ necessary - a professional exterminator (paid, as in
orlov) can do his thing without emotion
mircea_popescu: and it is why i pointed out
orlov's failure in the elephant story.
ascii_field: in all fairness,
orlov never advocated 'let's all you plankton move to x and colonize'
assbot: Logged on 12-08-2015 15:46:48; mircea_popescu: "But a boxing audience is always disgusting, and the behaviour of the women, in particular, is such that the army, I believe, does not allow them to attend its contests." lmao
orlov and his middle class sentimentalities.

☟︎ phf: (there's a 90s russian commedy, дмб, about a bunch of hapless army conscripts. at some point they are supposed to provide entertainment for generals, in some total buttfuck nowhere location. one of the activities is pig hunting, they release a pig, and the general goes after it. so of course the pig gets eaten by one of the hungry conscripts, and he has to pretend to be a pig running through fields. i can't help but think about
orlov's boomer
phf: i started reading
orlov with his piece about "everyone should get russian passport and move syberia to survive orks and global warming", i thought that maybe he was one of those slightly misguided older russian expats, so i sent him an email in russian with the general idea of, what about existing power structures there, it's not like moving to alaska, there's not going to be a shortage of local generals interested in hunting out of shape expats
mircea_popescu: but hey,
orlov doesn't know about india. he got a hammer an' he's a builder.
phf: that
orlov quote is questionable, with the same message as his other writing, i.e. "orks are cooler then you" where you is a u.s. office worker. i grew up in intelligentsia family and when i started getting into fights i was sent to sambo. i also saw fights involving chechen boys, including "деревня на деревню" kind, and in none of those were russian boys holding back. what is this
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, i have to strike the foregoing. i never challenged
orlov.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field if you recall, i challenged
orlov and he came out with "I am a robot doing the above".
mircea_popescu: imo the entire menagerie,
orlov, yarvin, whoi have you are simply doing this by hand
ascii_field: if you are only concerned with the collapse,
orlov's 'post-soviet lessons' is notbad
