asciilifeform: re philology i am less equipped to comment, but consider a typical philologic puzzler from 'science&life' in 1980s, from asciilifeform's own b00kcase -- here's a passage in $obscurelang (kazah, chukcha, chechen), here's defs of 6 words. nao answer these-here q's re the text...

asciilifeform: but realize that 'ooh, this barrel i found in the taiga is warm!' is how chukcha ends up sawing open rtg.

asciilifeform: chukcha incidentally very easily conceptualizes 'maybe the gods dun like me'. typically his problem is re the 'wat do'

asciilifeform: ameristan is misfortunate for lacking proper chukcha.

asciilifeform: dead geologist in taiga , with working radio, is much farther from monkey than the live chukcha who found corpse.

asciilifeform: it's a cost of specialization / finite hrs in the day. i suppose i could prolly become a middling-to-ok chukcha talker, instead of what i do nao, if comes to it. but i dun think i will ever be a champ, i dun have the decades of doing it, that other folx have.

asciilifeform: asciilifeform is not a+++ chukcha talker / polar explorer, this aint a seekrit, that crown goes to others.

asciilifeform: i also wonder if there's a 'chukcha and firewater' effect in play, possibly some folx have weak enzyme

asciilifeform: i parse it as 100% chukcha 'sympathetic magic' -- 'eat heart of walrus, become great swimmer'

asciilifeform: ( then q would be, which miami is kanzure et al lured by. i propose 'upper miami', analogous to chukcha's 'upper tundra', i.e. valhalla )

asciilifeform: 'in my chukcha village we have flight also, shaman gives flight mushroom'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's a handful of known 'elementary particles' of stupid, that aren't copies of one another (e.g. 'decenii de intelept cuvint!'-stupid, britney-stupid, goats-and-cousins-fucking desert-stupid , threadbare chukcha-stupid, ... ) but aside from that, yes, copies, how else

asciilifeform: 'where have you flown, chukcha?' 'every night i eat mushroom and fly to upper tundra'

asciilifeform: 'chukcha is pilot, here is airplane from walrus tusks and dried deer shit'

asciilifeform: in other archaeological holyfuqs, the wolfmen have ~ergative case~. like basque and chukcha.

asciilifeform: chukcha shaman is not lost soul because he wants to communicate over 100km distance, he's a lost soul because he hasn't heard of hertz or maxwell's or at all touched the relevant material

mircea_popescu: but not the broad strokes. much like chukcha confronted with car understands ~some~ things about it, but picture chukcha's blog describing cars.

a111: Logged on 2018-01-19 02:45 asciilifeform: 'chukcha wrote a book. we open the book: pg 1: 'man got on a horse.' pg . N : 'man got off horse' pg . 2 .. N-1 : 'tgdyk, tgdyk, tdgyk...' '

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i suspect that 'chukcha is not a reader, he is a writer'

asciilifeform: it did not even occur to me that chukcha is a writer and not a reader, and has not used

asciilifeform: 'chukcha wrote a book. we open the book: pg 1: 'man got on a horse.' pg . N : 'man got off horse' pg . 2 .. N-1 : 'tgdyk, tgdyk, tdgyk...' ' ☟︎

asciilifeform: that's the q, are we looking at what amounts to a sov rtg misplaced in the arctic and sawed open by chukcha.

asciilifeform: what 'rich' means muchly depends on locale. 'rich chukcha' has moar deer, i imagine. rich plantator -- moar ground. but there is not a habsburg house for him to live in, he cannot buy it any more than he could have bought a pdp-8

mircea_popescu: dja have the "why do chukcha go about in pairs ?" "they teach one to read and the other to write" one ?

asciilifeform: ( chukcha is offered a goodb00k. replies 'but thank you, old friend, i already own a book!'

asciilifeform: chukcha can also learn. problem is that somebody gotta separate him from the hole in the ground

asciilifeform: but at the same time, all known types of chukcha are happy to bow before ~other~ invisibles, e.g. deer spirit, or 'natural right of property', or whatever idiocy their mother pounded into the head

asciilifeform: the other observation is that the chukcha's reliance on his 'naked five senses' is absolute -- 'physical object' in his threadbare skullcase always trumps 'insisible' items, 'just number'

phf: chukcha brings his novel to a su publishing dept. the editor reads it and goes "you know, you ought to read some classics, pushkin, turgenev, etc." chukcha goes "naw, chukcha is a writer, not a reader"

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i do not know what every particular chukcha calls every particular flashlight.

asciilifeform: friend: 'i got you a book for your bday' -- chukcha: 'i already HAVE a book'

asciilifeform dun presently own a working chukcha mouth harp, would have to make one.

asciilifeform: strictly in light of 'client can hose the boxes' which applies to chukcha and mircea_popescu alike.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: discussed kiddiez because currently that is what lives there. like chukcha, in the north. ~nobody else there.

asciilifeform: most folks are 'chukcha ain't a reader, he's a writer' and do it anyway.

asciilifeform: punkman: deserts create their own sort of chukcha.

asciilifeform: winter per se does not create genius, no. chukcha exists.

assbot: Logged on 26-10-2015 12:40:02; punkman: "Why shoot??!!? Russian hunter, very bad hunter!" the Chukcha exclaims. "Ten kilometers to the yaranga, you drag bear yourself!"

punkman: A russian geologist is doing research in Chukotka. One afternoon, he joins Chukcha on a hunt and they track a polar bear to its den. Chukcha makes some noise and seeing the bear, shouts "Run!" and starts running away. The geologist shrugs, calmly raises his gun and shoots the bear.
