Unnoticed by the U.S. press, the warrant was a nearly unprecedented action by an allied country. The intelligence official, identified as William George Basil, was accused of espionage and eavesdropping."
punkman: "“The Greeks identified terrorist nets, so NSA put these devices in there and they told the Greeks, OK, when it’s done we’ll turn it off,” said the source. “They put them in the Athens communications system, with the knowledge and approval of the Greek government. This was to help with security during the Olympics.”"

mircea_popescu: The following, which gives the flavor, is from Andrea Dworkin, who I gather is a sort of museum-piece siege howitzer for feminism. It's pretty much how they all talk. Listen:
mircea_popescu: "Men use the night to erase us...The annihilation of a woman's personality, individuality, will, character, is prerequisite to male sexuality, and so the night is the sacred time of male sexual celebration, because it is dark and in the dark it is easier not to see: not to see who she is. Male sexuality, drunk on its intrinsic contempt for all life, but especially for women's lives, can run wild, hunt down random victi
mircea_popescu: ms, use the dark for cover, find in the dark solace, sanctuary, cover."
mircea_popescu: incidentally - dvorkin happens to be pretty much correct. male sexuality IS fundamentally contempt for all life. not for life in particular, but for life in the universal, for the life of maggots and cockroaches and everything else teemingly and indistinctly alive. and as such it is both fundamentally important and functionally required,
mircea_popescu: it keeps women from devolving into the wasp nest dvorkin'd live in, of her own devices.
mircea_popescu: that's the gender role since the begining : woman spits out maggots from her maggot hole and man figures out which she may get to keep.
mircea_popescu: "Why is schooling so poor for black children? To begin with, because blacks have little enthusiasm for academics. Blacks have demonstrated for an end to discrimination, more welfare, less brutality by police, greater rights, more pay, and greater respect. They do not march for more homework, harder courses, thicker texts with larger words and smaller pictures."
mircea_popescu: ahaha ok.

HeySteve: haven't seen his new stuff on WordPress, think my morning plans just changed
mircea_popescu: it is an astonishingly beautiful point. it generally takes a ~bright~ and very talented slavegirl 18 months or more before her desires go from more chocolate and less beatings to being given harder tasks. and she finds herself in an incredibly powerful, carefully engineered self-improvement-atron.
mircea_popescu: so why are blacks marching for "respect" which can not be given, instead of marching for "more homework" which would instantly, and absolutedly, deliver that respect ? EARNED respect ?
mircea_popescu: "we're poor, hungry and tired" "so what do you want ?" "more work."
HeySteve: perhaps the concept of earned has been destroyed by handouts
mircea_popescu: concepts can't be destroyed.
HeySteve: well, in their minds
mircea_popescu: i guess handouts rot the brain.

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 61982 @ 0.00070744 = 43.8485 BTC [-] {3}
HeySteve: it's related to what you said about gender roles, with no father to do quality control you get bad outcomes
mircea_popescu: so why do you propose to fix what's working ?
mircea_popescu: those women on welfare, with a dozen kids, ARE doing their job, right ? and splendidly at that, natality ain't easy.
mircea_popescu: (and if you think it is - go ahead and try it.)
HeySteve: it's population inflation
mircea_popescu: "inflation" only makes sense in a fungible space.
mircea_popescu: humans aren't fungible.
mircea_popescu: to put that objection in more practically comprehensible terms : if you live in a village of 100, the prettiest girl you ever see in your life will be ugly.
HeySteve: well, dominant ideology says there fungible
mircea_popescu: if you live in a country of 1mn, you'll see some passible ass.
HeySteve: they're*
mircea_popescu: in a world of a billion, you will never ever reach the end of breathtaking.
HeySteve: well, debt-based system requires endless growth, of population and everything else
mircea_popescu: that's a whole other conundrum
HeySteve: so if middle-class aren't reproducing like they used to, subsidise reproduction of lower class
HeySteve: but this debases the "population supply" eventually
HeySteve: I guess you can bring in waves of immigrants too and hope they take out a load of home and car loans
mircea_popescu: reproduction and class are strictly unrelated considerations. in fact, they do not even share any common space at all - there isn't a way to define "class" so that reproduction can be made meaningful or vice-versa.
HeySteve: but the ultimate result is Idiocracy world
mircea_popescu: specifically : do you know how many ottoman sultans had wives ?
HeySteve: no idea, weren't they more about harems?
mircea_popescu: exactly. with the exception of roxy the kidnapped ukrainian, two centuries of high class progeny was carried on the bosoms and thigs of SLAVES.
mircea_popescu: lowest caste women could perfectly finely spawn highest caste men. there's absolutely no relation between class and reproduction.
HeySteve: hmm roxanna, I've heard that story somewhere. I think in an old Sean Connery movie...
mircea_popescu: and she BECAME a free woman. in her lifetime. which is barely lowest -1.
mircea_popescu: roughly equivalent to "naturalized illegal alien" or somesuch today.
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, ok well what I mean is that birth rates are low or negative in developed countries
mircea_popescu: like what, china ?
mircea_popescu: is china developed ?
HeySteve: erm, partially I'd say
mircea_popescu: well then i dunno what you mean. the us has had low birth rate since before it was "developed", ie a century ago. england has had low birth rate throughout it's four centuries of being developed. china had lower birth rate in its undeveloped 80s than it does today.
HeySteve: I think they only hit demographic problems around 2030 or so whereas EU, USA and Japan are already there
HeySteve: well low birth rate is ok imo, it's when it falls below replacement level that ponzis like social security start going bust
mircea_popescu: some races compete on spawn. western european folk (not to be confused with white folk, or for that matter with caucasians) do not.
HeySteve: true, they're more about education
mircea_popescu: there's even a line delineating the "poorly productive females" half of europe, and it was drawn in the 1800s
mircea_popescu: it's not clear that "they're more about education" , or that their cunts just don't work worth a crap.
mircea_popescu: that given, gotta figure something out to survive, and hey, education may be it.
HeySteve: well, there are physiological factors relating to ease of childbirth
HeySteve: and also developmental differences in the offspring
mircea_popescu: yeah. but even the western yurpeans favour narrow waists and wide butts.
HeySteve: also cultural differences in the emphasis placed on parenting and education
mircea_popescu: those differences drastically favour the jews, india and china. perhaps in that order.
HeySteve: of course, state has gotten into the parenting and schooling game in a big way, so things are distorted there
HeySteve: well, it's hard to say how the world will go and which reproductive strategies will be selected for
mircea_popescu: which is perhaps why it's a big idea to stop pestering people.
mircea_popescu: woman has 12 kids and feeds them off 2k income ? good for her.
HeySteve: in a nasty war situation for eg. all that education and child-rearing effort is likely to come to nothing on the battlefield
