mircea_popescu: "Kipnis was not allowed to have an attorney present during her interview with Title IX investigators, she writes, but she was allowed to bring along another faculty member as a "support person" provided that the person she brought did not speak.

cazalla: that is probably the worst tumblr link i've yet to see in here
mircea_popescu: "raffic which is claimed by Zhang to be around 2500 unique visitors per day." lulziest part.
cazalla: because not even samuel l jackson had that in mind when he said he eats everything
cazalla: fuck, got my zhous and zhangs mixed up
cazalla: these guys just moved on from alibaba to bitcoin it seems
cazalla: not consciously but hey whatever pleases you
cazalla: you do all sorts of crazy shit on that sherm eh
cazalla: watched that last night, at least for the first time in full, not a bad movie
mircea_popescu: true romance ? it's great, provided you have the director's cut
mircea_popescu: what the studio released is piss. and the comparison an interesting exercise in how "management" can fuck up a movie even when having everything needed for greatness in a neat package.
cazalla: well shit, i'm not sure which copy i have
cazalla: what's the difference, just the ending?
mircea_popescu: but qt was fucking incensed at the time, and i agree he had a point.
chetty: I been hearing an ad for a TV show ...Dark Web, apparently all about Silk Road

cazalla: well it wouldn't be the first time tv writers have use chans for story lines
cazalla: yeah that too.. other idea is that the writers are shitposting about their show to drum up some viral marketing type shit knowing that /pol/ will and has run with it
mircea_popescu: anyway, in fairness what i'm saying is that i don't believe that chan is impressive enough in bodycount to constitute a market anyone would wish to cater to, creating the tv version of hot topic, nor intellectually impressive enough to constitute anyone's thought leadership.

mircea_popescu: if you feel like giving me a top 5 or whatever most relevant ideas coming out of /pol/ i'd read it.
cazalla: well i guess the multi-culti immigration might be a start, not that i mind immigrants but i think they are somewhat right in that it undermines social trust in a community
mircea_popescu: this is by no means a novel point, or all that aptly expressed there, is it ?
cazalla: i just see my own anecdotes mirrored there.. grew up in a homogeneous society where everywhere knew everyone.. 25 years later that is no longer the case
cazalla: but then the argument usually veers towards this being the fault of jews
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 43600 @ 0.00032781 = 14.2925 BTC [-]
cazalla: but then that is sorta like blacks blaming whites for their predicament
cazalla: they blame both of those too
mircea_popescu: (actually, there IS a trend of angry older men trying to make these issues about "whores", but general social discourse's keeping them well repressed atm)
cazalla: they blame loose women for the down fall of the family unit
cazalla: don't get me wrong.. i like the idea of a strong family unit.. but i also like the idea of loose whores provided the strong family doesn't find out
mircea_popescu: anyway i suspect there isn't a way out. historically, the "civilised world" was rich and powerful because it enjoyed a monopoly on trade, built out of scientific and military effort. the twerps in question, joe average, decided to quit supporting the industrial-military complex (chiefly because they got burned twice in 16-18 and then in 39-44, and it hurt badly, esp the 2nd time, and so it's understandable)
mircea_popescu: as a result, it collapsed, and as a result there is absolutely no reason they should make more than a dollar a day.
mircea_popescu: which is where everyone's headed, from alabama to tasmania.
mircea_popescu: which i don't see any problem whatsoever with, but then again i'm privileged, or as alf put it, "rootless kosmopolitanski"
cazalla: so i still read /pol/ daily but i can easily point out where i am hypocritcal on just about everything discussed there.. do as i say, not as i do sort of thing is really what it comes down to

mircea_popescu: the question of "what exactly is so speshul about joe doe that he should live other than in a hovel like random nigerian" is paramount, and none of the anti-imigration types seem inclined to address it.
mircea_popescu: once we get an answer to that we can start discussing how to oppress the nigerian again, at which point "immigration policy" may be on the agenda. not befoar.
mircea_popescu: and the family unit is more of the same. why should 85% have any access to women at all, and why should the 1% not get 94% of all the pleasantly nubile stoyas out there, with the remainder 6% going to the 14% aspirational betas ?
cazalla: well he's not special and in saying that, i'm not special, but i like but can't explain my desire of social cohesion, which is why i like the hitler videos with endless crowds
mircea_popescu: that's the natural distribution in a 2 million strong society : 10k blokes with a harem averaging high 80s headcounts, 140k blokes double-tagging 60k hos and the rest watching the previous on instagram.
☟︎ cazalla: i don't have egalitarian values so that the minority get the majority of anything does not bother me
mircea_popescu: cazalla there is something to be said for social cohesion, the problem with it is that it tends to flow towards all-germany / all-russia sort of constructs.
mircea_popescu: either trench warfare or "great leap forward" sorta crap.
mircea_popescu: society (as an immanent beast in human affairs) is scared to death of it, these days. i can see why.
mircea_popescu: i suspect for a while yet the only real social cohesion to be head will be in mmorpg raiding parties.
mircea_popescu: previously it was rock concerts, but that kind-of died somehow, which i find very weird.

cazalla: i would guess because the last thing that matters is the music.. it's all seating arrangements etc now
cazalla: tickets, cds, tshirts.. it's an expensive hobby these days
cazalla: mmorpg raids is an interesting thought.. i wonder what race demos of that is
mircea_popescu: i personally care a lot more about the fact that there are no movies/bands/anything worth going to see
mircea_popescu: than the fact that some random immigrant's drooling over random 16yo neighbour.
cazalla: my problem with immigrants is that i grew up knowing my neighbours, my community, it was homogeneous and everyone knew everyone (also was a small town)
mircea_popescu: broadway's fucking dead, think about it - it was born out of the need to provide entertainment on the cheap for the hordes of stated insland escapees
cazalla: in the suburbs just outside the city there is none of that and the idea that you know who lives around you is a foreign idea to everyone i've met down here
mircea_popescu: cazalla well the idea of community based on geographic proximity / random accident like that is certainly taken a beating on account of the internets. used to be you had a shot at random neighouring cunt just on the grounds of being neighbouring, at some point.
cazalla: yes i remember a trilema article along the lines of this
cazalla: or maybe it was discussed in logs but made sense in any case
cazalla: pol also made it clear that prior generations always had one that came after it which was seen as worse than the one before it, at least until now
cazalla: it's sorta agreed there that this might be the first generation which is more of a pussy than the last
mircea_popescu: russia and central europe had a generation of failures that got kicked out in the 90s.
mircea_popescu: china had a generation of failures that got kicked out in the 30s, that's what the entire revolution was about. china actually has lots of these.
mircea_popescu: pick a country and i'll tell you at least one example.
cazalla: i believe you, just sorta reveals the size of the timeline you and i think on
mircea_popescu: austria had one during friedrich's reign and most of europe had one in the 1790s / 1800s
cazalla: the world began in 1982, didn't ya know? :P
mircea_popescu: heck, woodstock is exactly this "you suck" moment of the us. much blander than historically the norm.
