mircea_popescu: come to think about it, locklin fits very well in the impudent imbecile gallery, with
yarvin, yukowsky and whatall else, 70s to 90s born fleshwastes.
mircea_popescu: somehow these morons went from 1980s alec baldwin's "go home and play with your kids" alt-fuck you you're a total waste of space to curtis
yarvin's 2020s "i'll go home and play with my kids", direct restatement of "fuck you guise, i'm going home"
mircea_popescu: anyway. on a long enough time horizon all socialism aka militant stupidity converges. of course
yarvin merges with ethertards, what's there to distinguish them besides historical accident (ie, the exact converse of timeline, the thing time washes out)

yarvin, jwz, whatever.... well what fucking difference does it make.
mircea_popescu: (which both informs and explains ancient republican tenets such as "use whatever fucking language you're using" and so on. and which plainly explains why faux elites of the mass movement, be it weev or
yarvin or that schmuck in "black mirror" or the "pua community" or w/e focus on a. providing a "sure fire" method through which b. you too, ~whoever you may be~ can whatever. this is necessarily and of its own blood and bone wr
mircea_popescu: i find fetlife sluts are about 10kx more interesting than hikikomori bois a la whatever set we've been contemplating, from curtis
yarvin to rms.
mircea_popescu: and so no, there's no fucking excuse. if one has an equivalent of trilema, that claim may only be permitted to stand IF IT IS FUNCTIONALLY EQUIVALENT. if it does the same thing. i think nothing of, picking randomly, orlovs' blog, or
yarvin's blog, or you name the idiot, anil dash, fucktard mcdumbsticks, whatever, BECAUSE their blogs don't fucking work. and "i have a lot of '''traffic'''" isn't a working, and "i get paid to ad

mircea_popescu: one could readily mechanize the process that created say curtis
yarvin's "identity", say.

☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:
yarvin opted for the latter ; this one may be too thick to notice yet, or whatever, i've not looked.
mircea_popescu: the most positive light to shine upon political hacks such as curtis
yarvin would be that they "continue" this decay.
mircea_popescu: i can picture too. that tribe, like the
yarvin tribe, like the yukowsky tribe, like all the "alt" bullshits, exactly like "debian was an early apple appstore" and so on.
mircea_popescu: well you could also call it graham, or
yarvin, or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: so, look at the shit krugman was churning out, or for that matter look at the shit paul graham was churning out. or yes,
yarvin.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i think i said it before. and if i didn't, here it is again : curtis
yarvin may be stupid, or else he may be evil, but in either case he's done more to ruin his country than quisling did to ruin his.
mircea_popescu: at stage n, when bitcoin exists, curtis
yarvin is too stupid to understand why it's much bigger than him ; and the mental efforts of marginal retard are just about comensurate with the sub dollar value of a coin.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-08 14:51 mircea_popescu: but the invisible line that unites curtis
yarvin, that "lesswrong" derp, spandrell fellow, the restaurant manager chick yesterday, and on and on an endless list of these, is specifically that they welded the head shut.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-13 15:17 mircea_popescu: and this model ENTIRELY explains all of the "luminaries". werner koch worked the feeder-chumper cycle. stallman worked the feeder-chumper cycle. curtis
yarvin worked the etcetera.
mircea_popescu: let me guess, rehash of original "stages" curtis
yarvin "argument" ?
mircea_popescu: and this model ENTIRELY explains all of the "luminaries". werner koch worked the feeder-chumper cycle. stallman worked the feeder-chumper cycle. curtis
yarvin worked the etcetera.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i mean sure, it worked for obama. but all the white/jew boys of the curtis
yarvin description, i dunno what school you gotta go to in order to come out quite that fucking cluleless. it's not even dumb, it's like anti-smart.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-17 22:37 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform did
yarvin / urbit EVER do anything other than selling "space" of various description ? it's like reddit by now, wut.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform did
yarvin / urbit EVER do anything other than selling "space" of various description ? it's like reddit by now, wut.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: fuckin hilarious, "urbit's aspirations", surely you mean
yarvin et al's aspirations
mircea_popescu: see ? but none of that LARGE and important thing is in
yarvin.
mircea_popescu: i really recommend against using
yarvin's mental models for anything, they're well broken.
mircea_popescu: and dorks a la curtis
yarvin & friends go around dribbling "hey, since they're behaving AS IF they had the division, therefore they have them yes ?" as fucking if.
mircea_popescu: That he has been able to surf these scandals regularly as little more than free media opportunities shows that American democracy is in serious need of rehabilitation." << in my view, this settles an ancient point of contention curtis
yarvin never manned up to, re "the cathedral" or generally how pervasive, or "in power" the idiots are.
mircea_popescu: "oh,
yarvin said he doesn't think blacks are born slaves ?!?! OMG WHERE DOES HE LIVE I WANNA DO A LOAD OF HIS LAUNDRY!!!"
mircea_popescu: other than yet another example of how utterly ridiculous
yarvin looks
mircea_popescu: not in the slightest. i daresay there is not one thing that originates with the curtis
yarvin fellow.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: while useful conversations happen in channel, i have little doubt that shiva would be more productive if he weren't reading and reposting
yarvin, bbc, el reg, or whatever 'sekoority' bloggers. it's really not hard for anyone to imagine.
mircea_popescu: or in
yarvin's revolutionary-language clubs, or in "less wrong" to learn all about how to have a slavegirl while calling her a dragon or w/e is currently fashionable in manga world, and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: the objection is methodological. i am saying
yarvin is not a thinker.
mircea_popescu: moreover this is the answer an actually competent scholar would give to amateur efforts a la
yarvin's "oh, how could these people believe such nonsense WITHOIUT EVIDENCE".
ben_vulpes: subject of fdr,
yarvin is peddling epubs of moldbuggery on the 'kindle store'
mircea_popescu: and they keep doing this, too, if anyone's curtis
yarvin's model, hitchens
mircea_popescu: but the invisible line that unites curtis
yarvin, that "lesswrong" derp, spandrell fellow, the restaurant manager chick yesterday, and on and on an endless list of these, is specifically that they welded the head shut.
☟︎ phf: "As a not-completely-cynical participant in a democratic society and a half-assed amateur philosopher, I’m about as turned off by
Yarvin as I could be."
mircea_popescu:
yarvin really should have his own breakfast cereal company.
mircea_popescu: i guess so. plenty of "lysenkoist" dudes were as convinced of the entire shitstack as
yarvin is convinced the usg will survive.
mircea_popescu: anyway asciilifeform , the usg.desperation should be palpable, if they're scraping the barrel so close to the wood they've dredged up curtis
yarvin, even.
BingoBoingo: Framedragger: Weev is actually closer to canonical example of alt-right than
Yarvin trinque: nah, that's Curtis
Yarvin et al
mircea_popescu: anyway, the
yarvin thing has a point. "intelligent" interface is exactly like "perpetuum mobile"|
mircea_popescu: looky,
yarvin's fast food bill is no cost, he'd be eating it off ebt anyway. similarly whatever similar schmuck's credit card expenses to the tune of 5k we discussed recently.
mircea_popescu: if
yarvin/spandrell/etc qualify to discuss society ; then literally ex boxers are qualified to pen books.
mircea_popescu: would you say random wage slave with a kid in tow and a vague interest in maybe spending a week on "writing a book" is watering down "neoreaction" or whatever the fuck you'd call the line of "being an internet tough guy in the style of curtis
yarvin" ?
mircea_popescu: for my own curiosity, does c.
yarvin figure on the list of good citizens & old bolsheviks that were yehzov'd by stalinmp or notrly ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 at best your dream sounds like a bizarro curtis
yarvin scheme
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
decimation: as
yarvin wrote: "An Internet server is, above all, a massive fortified castle in alien zombie territory."
decimation: in
yarvin's case I always thought it was attaching irony to google.com
ascii_field: they started paying
yarvin to shut the fuck up
mircea_popescu: imo the entire menagerie, orlov,
yarvin, whoi have you are simply doing this by hand
decimation:
yarvin pointed out the amusing contrast between the us wanting to de-africanize africa and the chinese wanting to take its minerals
decimation:
yarvin pointed this out as well: you failed to live up to the america you propagandised us into believing in!
decimation:
yarvin wrote about this pattern in the policy side of usg as the smartest bureaucrats exactly cancelling each other's efforts
decimation: early
yarvin had a point about this: "You are a Catholic. Your parents were Catholics. You were educated by Catholics. You are governed by Catholics. All your friends are Catholics. All the books you've ever read were written by Catholics.
assbot: Logged on 17-07-2015 04:50:44; decimation: asciilifeform: have you noticed that
yarvin's blog is gradually disappearing from google search results
decimation: trinque: did you manage to make a copy of
yarvin's blog?
decimation: asciilifeform: have you noticed that
yarvin's blog is gradually disappearing from google search results
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i think actually curtis
yarvin is a very fine example of what's the problem with derps "reviewing the whole history"
mircea_popescu: i'd rather read orlov's daughter from a marriage with
yarvin consumated on one of their leaky carriers they have.
decimation: heh I forgot that paragraph from
yarvin: "
decimation: this echo's
yarvin's "what if ron paul won the presidency" gedankenexperiment
decimation: yeah, I think
yarvin's 'state vs dod' proxy wars make a fair bit of sense
decimation: well, as
yarvin himself wrote, "he truth, being true, is accessible to all - though not all will get it all."
mircea_popescu: this guy's got a pretty fantastic racket. i hope i won't next hear i've heard about bitcoin from curtis
yarvin.
