mircea_popescu: <Framedragger> mircea_popescu: are you still interested << well... not someone whose attention span is five minutes ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> (incidentally why should usg be doing ~all~ of the thermo-journalism!? time for free men to do their share..?) << this is quite so.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-14#1466537 << for some peculiar reason, 'atlas' never seems to 'shrugged' in real life. << keyword being "seems". ☝︎

mircea_popescu: throughout the 70s women never "seemed" to suck the cock in real life either.

mircea_popescu: notably, the us exists today because some people shrugged at some point in the 18th century.

mircea_popescu: happens all the time ; but in order to live in a certain shared psychosis, the key is to "not notice".

mircea_popescu: happened sometime in the 90s, also. after a brief euphoria post the berlin wall moment, people went "well what now ?". just like in that joke with the gypsy woman, "do we wash it or do we make another ?"

mircea_popescu: the decision came out "make another", which is === shrug.

mircea_popescu: for which reason there can not exist "america" of the previous millennium. not no more. nor "western europe" nor any of the rest of the stuff.

mircea_popescu: stuff like http://trilema.com/2015/other-peoples-money/ is actually documenting the tail end of that shrug.

mircea_popescu: no particular construction was built on top of it. could be this, could be that.

mircea_popescu: fact is that where you needed 10% of the population before you need 0.1% now. and, economy being what it is and human nature being what it is, this "saving" did not get passed on. it just went into lazy, inefficient and wasteful.

mircea_popescu: so today things are just a lot more fragile and that's all.

mircea_popescu: overall, the tribe of monkeys still makes ~ what it always made

mircea_popescu: which is to say not much of anything at all.

mircea_popescu: now, WHY the three people that actually matter may no longer do their magic... whatever. maybe their toy breaks. maybe evil alien xenomorph mp comes and breaks their moore law and they're up shit creek without it. maybe they just start hating the morlochs.

mircea_popescu: whatever it may be... fragility's fragility.

mircea_popescu: goes deeper :

mircea_popescu: there's no way to even show that the possibility of such meaning exists.

mircea_popescu: (there isn't a general rule that all edges of the implication ball are part of this world. much like there's no guarantee that all the numbers coming out of a defined arithmetic operation are in the set of numbers you can display)

mircea_popescu: so whether they are or are not distinct, there's no requirement the distinction can be stated.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform depends. i am not convinced by this theory because i've seen the % vary very wildly across culutres.

mircea_popescu: so currently i'm suspecting it's more of an environment issue than an old man issue

mircea_popescu: ("citokines are really bad mkay" sorta argument)

mircea_popescu: you think the young are at an advantage on oregon trail vs say boston ?!

mircea_popescu: why ?

mircea_popescu: no man has a famblee unless a) he's an idiot or b) the woman's +ev.

mircea_popescu: heh.

mircea_popescu: well... prototyping

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-15#1466759 << no they had published their research in 2005, it's just a) nobody saw it and b) it's STILL not fucking published omfg. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: do you know what the most read file for the month is, on trilema ? http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/lit.txt linked from http://trilema.com/2016/files-from-the-war-on-the-web-today-literotica/

mircea_popescu: but perhaps if you're esl, "made public" means "made privately available to some people who aren't us" or something. god knows everything else means something else, so what the hell's the difference.

mircea_popescu: but anyway, looking forward to more "{Security researchers|IT specialists|Computer experts} with {University of Derp in Derpistan|USG.RedHat.Whatever|The HTTPS Internet} published {Literotica|Fetlife|OkCupid|Ask.fm|Phuctor|whatever} {database|userlist|secret excel codebase} publicly!

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-15#1466760 << disappeared ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: very good. see that this is a very iffy point of failure, in the sense that the chances to end up an enemy of the people inadvertently are possibly best. seeing the logs incorrect gets ~everyone's defcon level up a notch or two

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-15#1466767 << and if brass had unmitigated audacity to answer "because the jews educate their women to be sluts, which results in the boys being motivated to think, which means one of them can eat ten of your evanghelical shitheaded sons for breakfast. fix your fucking religion, you're lagging behind the fucking irish, even the negro reinterpretation thereof is more socially productive" (as a fe ☝︎

mircea_popescu: w actually did!) would have more or less brought back the burning stake.

mircea_popescu: phf i agree to the concept.

mircea_popescu: you certainly can't put later lines in if earlier lines are missing, that's asking for black eyes.

mircea_popescu: nah.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-15#1466771 << it's more complicated. turks believed that it is below the dignity of a warrior (you have to remember - for a stretch about a degree of magnitude longer than "modernity", being the guy who beat up the cows, bipedal or otherwise, and took their shit was the only respectable line of work for a healthy male ; starting with the romans) to learn languages. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: in their view, strangely mirrored by various other failed warrior castes, such as the manchuku or the usg, translation is a whore's job.

mircea_popescu: this view may even be correct ; but then their inability to maintain abundant, loyal whores is very striking. it's such an obvious point of failure, after all. but hey, not that i don't understand them - the whore will kneel lovingly, but not before every idiot. and being a self-indulgent idiot is so much... easier... and nicer... and pushing yourself so... hmm... is it even compatible with the dignity of warrior ? ain't that

mircea_popescu: what you do to slaves ?

mircea_popescu: and then it blows up.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-15#1466772 << no bojum, basic or otherwise. the problem is long solved and the solution well known. i even published it, but you overlooked. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: "The #bitcoin-assets aristocracy is not incompetent. Whether in anyone's estimation others not named are just as or even more competent is immaterial : arbitrariety is not the problem, incompetence is. The #bitcoin-assets aristocracy is not particularly fixed, at least in the sense of it being extensible (in fact the list was 25 names long earlier). Therefore, objections on this line will have to be a lot more refined than si

mircea_popescu: mply "it's undemocratic and therefore bad" or "it's unrepresentative and therefore evil". Reality doesn't work that way."

mircea_popescu: the notion that meritocracy means "EVERY meritous individual" gets a place is buluceala out and out, and has nothing to do with meritocracy. such a socialist rewriting of the concept is an insult to humanity in the first place ; but to sit and wonder why the cardboard cut "in the shape of a car" and with car written on it doesn't take you places... c;mon.

mircea_popescu: meritocracy means that all involved are competent ; not, pointedly not, that all competent are involved.

mircea_popescu: and yesterday's discussion with hanbot diana_coman et all is very apropos : http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-14#1466552 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: as phf says, "it's nice to make an effort to see the competent are accidentally included". there's no promise there, nor can be. the only promise is that the shitheads won't long survive.

mircea_popescu: hence the jew quotas.

mircea_popescu: and you know, in the endless "protocol vs promise" thing (such as - if you free man from labour, you will get incredible developments in culture and civilisation (promise) ; or else you'll get a horde of decayed re-monkeys (protocol) | respectively "if you include women in the political process, you'll get the fundamental if unobvious points to males, like this one, well included and represented into the public matters (promi

mircea_popescu: se) | you'll get a bunch of http://trilema.com/2016/stfu-attention-whore-culture/ (protocol))

mircea_popescu: in general it is directly obvious to a woman that "yeah you have a nice cock, but i'm full ty". somehow the point is an egological insult to the healthy male.

mircea_popescu: (to ease the work of the research-scientists and chemists of world renown, egology is a husserlian concept.)

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform su had a very similar problem. they all do - turks kinda had to kill all their brothers, including their mother's other sons.

mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that the woman's clintonicity was 2/3 of the reason guy even had a shot at sultanhood.

mircea_popescu: it;s a bitch not more novel and general literary exploration of that conflict has been produced by the oh-so-unignorant west. it's a fucking fascinating situation.

mircea_popescu: today is the day you, a healthy, talented, good riding and accomplished poet of a man, go to your mother who is this woman that saved your life as a 3yo and shared all the ups and downs of the past two decades,

mircea_popescu: to tell her that well... ima strangle all your babies, you may call me chronos now.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform note that they never ate the mother.

mircea_popescu: not at all.

mircea_popescu: i believe the key to understanding ottoman poetry (which, btw, was very accomplished) is in this tension.

mircea_popescu: and i did not say strangle idly - it was the method for that situation. no idea if you've ever choked anyone but it is a) deeply sexual and b) probably the easiest way to go, outside of freezing, which they had no access to.

mircea_popescu: but otherwise ottoman executions rather eastern in their excruciating approach.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well yes. but i don't expect you'd do this in the bedroom, it's bad for the brain.

mircea_popescu: so choking closest experience. imo it carries.

mircea_popescu: tryitsometime

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not entirely lost. much to my shock and awe, was recently in an oglaf!

mircea_popescu: the problem there is, well... "what's the best way to jack off ?" "eh, get kournikova to do it."

mircea_popescu: hanging, what's that, couldn't find someone that'd care enough ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, well i dunno if you know or not, but anyway - at the same time women contemplating a career in porn were more than willing to shoot a few features for the more respectable sites ~for free, because they gained popularity and a stamp of quality.

mircea_popescu: ~same thing was reprised with the "leaked" "sex tapes" by proletariat whores, aka "pop singers"

mircea_popescu: anyway : as i watched the woman be in 50% of the shots and never ever win anything, it occured to me that maybe she's doing the same thing, only much better ?

mircea_popescu: i never pursued the matter and by now i guess she'd be old. but anyway.

mircea_popescu: maybe you don't need a dirigible ?

mircea_popescu: well no, if she's working she's working, save for a few months and get a proper handjob.

mircea_popescu: anyway, review the woman's record, she smells like a fixed up wonder from a mile away. "you can't fix the champ", sez rod steiger. she never lost... to anyone outside of the tops.

mircea_popescu: if the ru mob had any brains, she'd have been exactly that, inna.ru

mircea_popescu: point's been made, let em stew in denial now for a little bit, we come back to it later.

mircea_popescu: you don't argue uphill with a dumbass. you just smack him now and again.
