mircea_popescu: and then you have some stale local interests topics, mostly molded in this mold, and some (bad) sports.

chetty: well do not dispair we have b-a
mircea_popescu: him : It's gonna take awhile to digest this. You like writing eh.
mircea_popescu: him:lol yeah, it's an unusual writing style. It's like a mix of technical , story telling and stretched analogies. I'm sure you get a lot of hardcore readers who follow along. from a technical standpoint, its somewhat of a nightmare lol.
mircea_popescu: basically, that's what b-a reduces to : using english as a language rather than as a lingo is so uncommon by now, it takes intelligent people some effort to accommodate.
punkman: what's this technical standpoint anyway
mircea_popescu: punkman i believe it'd be the proposition that words work unequivocally and logic may be applied to natural language constructs.
punkman: "this isn't the textbook I was expecting!" ?
mircea_popescu: it all dovetails neatly into BingoBoingo's recent stuff about sublanguages. and i guess my recent post, at that.
mircea_popescu: the possibility of text meaning something to the reader is quite severely restricted by a whole list of novel issues, not directly familiar to the historian of this topic.

mircea_popescu: now this is all about as irrelevant as you like, but if you read what these commenters say to each other it becomes rapidly obvious they fail before even remotely engaging.
mircea_popescu: goat sperm'd have a better shot impregnating toad eggs.
mircea_popescu: so i suspect pop culture and the (very specifically english, btw, and chinese!) tendency towards the lowest common denominator and cultural sterility is the result of this chasm : on one hand people expect to be belonging together, unwarrantedly. on the other hand, they share exactly nothing.
mircea_popescu: thus parallel discussion is not a funny occurence but the vast majority of all interractions, people happily arguing with self-constructed dopplegangers of each other respectively. basically, a strawman is not merely a logical error, but the substance of all english language discourse today.
punkman: I like this concept of parallel discussion
mircea_popescu: it started as this literary device i had thought i had invented like a decade ago. we even tried to work it into our book with chet.
mircea_popescu: but the more i read the more i realise that actually... it's not me inventing something novel, it's my brain trying to cope with nonsense.
mircea_popescu: back in the 70s when politicians started doing this, engaging in pseudo-debates on "issues" that had no coherent definition in their respective systems, people derrided the entire process as nonsensical. enter the internet, everyone is doing it. everyone. everwhere. find the most obscure blog and you'll have two nobodies doing it to each other for sport.
punkman: yeah you don't have to spend any processing cycles on what the other guy said, just do the most superficial patter-matching to harvest some entropy for your markov chain
mircea_popescu: so you know, when the markov chain-based invaders finally take over, they'll be welcomed by the populace.
punkman: "Act like a dumbshit and they'll treat you like an equal!"
mircea_popescu: you can't run with your eyes closed. you can';t act in a world inhabited by these phantasms.
mircea_popescu: i suspect for the average english as sole language speaker action is actually impossible today.
chetty: I am not sure its actually language relevant
chetty: people can fail to think in any language.
chetty: speaking multiples probably just gives you a better shot at noticing
mircea_popescu: well, here's the thing : some languages act as a metamind for the speakers. the collected intellectual effort of antecessors having constructed the linguistic equivalent of engineer's rulers and whatnot. so that through the mere workings of the language, one's point is refined.
mircea_popescu: this used to work in english too, three centuries ago. "put your idea in writing to see what it actually says".
mircea_popescu: some other languages however act as a confounder of thought, i am discovering, and a hindrance to expression.
mircea_popescu: contemporary english being a major example of this sad situation. a point expressed in today';s english is actually LESS than what it was before it met expression. that's a sad state of affairs,
chetty: I dun think thats the languages fault, poor abused language
mircea_popescu: and it creates a spiral of doom. as the language stops working positively, people stop caring, and so it'll just rot further.
punkman: how's the spanish language fare?
mircea_popescu: punkman i can't really distinguish latin languages enough to have an oppinion, other than that modern french is perhaps having a similar if unrelated problem.
mircea_popescu: maybe it's all the fallout of television, who's to know. "here's what three generations of visual 'thinking' barbarians will do to language" sort of thing.

mircea_popescu: it makes perfect sense that there'd be backflow mostly on the obvious grounds that afaik for most of the history a sports journo was better paid than a political comentator
mircea_popescu: consequently, it'd stand to reason that as sportscasters became unemployed, they'd have started the huffpo of their time.
