mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, here's what i can't put to rest : it's not JUST fucking joseph smith, "o i heard them fine folks in rome have this religion thing, ima make one myself out of shit around my log cabin". he's one of the more ridiculous exponents, yes, but he's in no way marginal. not at all. murray rothbard is exactly "oh i heard them folks in paris have a philosophy, ima make one out of old shit in demolished us protest

mircea_popescu: "In 1917 Dodge, her husband, and Elsie Clews Parsons moved to Taos, New Mexico, where she began a literary colony. On the advice of Tony Luhan, a Native American whom she would marry in 1923, she purchased a 12-acre (49,000 m2) property. Luhan set up a teepee in front of her house, drumming each night in an attempt to lure her to him. Although Sterne bought a shotgun with the intention of chasing Luhan off the property, unabl

mircea_popescu: sounds about right, yes ? except dogs won't read the shit coming out of tepee, new mexico. but otherwise basically the same thing, right ? harvard can be university, just as good as european, neh ?

asciilifeform: aha

mod6: http://trilema.com/2011/nsfw-aus-dem-leben-der-marionetten/
mircea_popescu: mod6 yeah but you know, 2011.
mod6: ah, right. all .ro. i used to just translate the stuff. however, it was mentioned in the logs, since im not sure what exactly is being lost in such translations.
mircea_popescu: i was reading the ro review and it came out "better rewrite than translate".
mircea_popescu: this happens a lot sadly.
mod6: I wish I could learn a lang in six weeks.
mircea_popescu: only works after the 12th. ☟︎
mod6: I suppose for me, the trouble with my german and spanish is usage. i never get to use it, so I tend to lose it :<
mircea_popescu: it's like a volume discount package.
mod6: I learned german first, and that took me about 6mos to a year when i was 11 or 12. then when i was ~18 i learned spanish in like... well pretty quick, 2-3 mos. its easy.
mod6: but again, i never get to use it.
mircea_popescu: espanisho no is difficulto.
mod6: verb conjugation is easy
mod6: german felt like it was way harder.
mircea_popescu: anyway, portuguese and spanish are the lulziest in this vein. at some party i chatted with this girl for a little, and eventually i asked her why does she have such a thick accent ? "because i'm speaking portuguese".
mod6: yeah, they are pretty close huh
mircea_popescu: i was buzzed enough to not have noticed, but i was talking spanish at her and she was talking portuguese back at me
mod6: lol. nice.
mod6: immersion is definately a good way to learn
mircea_popescu: i trust no other.
mircea_popescu: precisely because as you say, then you lose it.
mod6: i've been trying to pick up some russian just from all the damn unicode pasted in here.
mircea_popescu: lol
mod6: at least, character to english letter combo transations.
mircea_popescu: russian is easy. Xулы?! Нихуя! Нехуй расхуяривать ! Hахуячено нехуево! Похуйярили! is really all you need. ☟︎
mod6: hah
phf: хуясе?
mircea_popescu: holy shit im the only source for this on the internets ?
mircea_popescu: ffs.
phf: this version is not bad either "- Хуяссе. Охуели? Нахуя дохуя хуйни нахуярили? Розхуяривайте нахуй. - Нихуя, хули. Захуярено нехуево, нахуя расхуяривать?"
mircea_popescu: ha
mircea_popescu: mod6 the idea being that the russian grammar is so descriptive, an vocabulary isn't really needed. you can express yourself on the strength of grammatical structure and arbitrarily chosen verb + noun.
mod6: heheh, interesting
mod6: I noticed, four different words for 'fucking': ????? ????? ????? ?????????
mod6: bah, irssi fail
mircea_popescu: it's all dicks, huy. just you know, dis-dick-entangle and un-dick-bother and whatnot.
mod6: \u041d\u0430\u0445\u0443\u044f \u0434\u043e\u0445\u0443\u044f \u0445\u0443\u0439\u043d\u0438 \u043d\u0430\u0445\u0443\u044f\u0440\u0438\u043b\u0438
mircea_popescu: actually proper english structuring of mat would be a fine exercise for learning either. though more in the phd level of things.
mod6: my apologies. apparently my thing only does ascii.
mircea_popescu: phf at any rate i have proof! of some cursory russian interest even before meeting alf!
phf: the translation could be "what the hell. you guys lost it? why did you build so much stuff? break it down no matter what. - no way, why? it's not such a bad work, why break it down?"
mircea_popescu: phf no but i mean the FORMAL translation.
phf: err, i started translating before that sentence about "actually proper english..." etc.
mod6: I tell people all the time here that people not even from here speak/write better english than we do.
mircea_popescu: "what the dick, are you dicked ? why the dickendicking! disdick the dick! dicks dick! dicker dick, why dick with it ?"
mod6: It's crazy. I'm guilty of this as well. My spelling is horrid.
phf: i'm not even sure how i would approach above sentence if i was trying to fully relay the nuance and the ambiguity
mircea_popescu: phf and not using any word ROOT that's not you know, dick.
mod6: /topic what the dick, are you dicked ? why the dickendicking! disdick the dick! dicks dick! dicker dick, why dick with it ?
mircea_popescu: lol
mod6: dicker dick, why dick with it? dick.
mircea_popescu: i think "dick" makes, phonetically, a better huy than cock or anything else. has a nice ring to it.
mod6: it kinda rolls off easier 'eh
phf: dick dick dick dick dick dick dick - how many dicks was that? - alot

mircea_popescu: true. possibly his best role.
mod6: yeah, the madonna scene seems a bit forced or something.
mircea_popescu: and tha tschmuck, what's his name. the fat kid, "son of boss" whatever. he's a terrible actor and drags the whole thing down.

asciilifeform: crapple etc
mircea_popescu: i never saw that to usefully work.
asciilifeform: depends on what is usefully
mircea_popescu: yes, it does.
asciilifeform: they used to have these for msdos too
asciilifeform: (language gamez)

mircea_popescu: meanwhile, finding a native hungarian speaker is generally as easy as visiting the closest bordello.

asciilifeform: lol
mircea_popescu: imo fine criterion for "am i living in civilised country".
asciilifeform: anyway 'translate this' gamez don't beat harem method, noshit.jpg. but they beat learning by reading spam, which is how i did, e.g., ro
mircea_popescu: "usefully" above meant "acquiring a capacity of expression not heretofore had".
asciilifeform: expression not so much. readonly is attainable.
mircea_popescu: ie, it's not "when i can sort-of mangle my english statements of my thoughts into pashtun", but when "i came up with this perfectly pashtun form of what i was thinking i have nfi how to put in english".
asciilifeform: well yes
asciilifeform: that'd be 'fluency'
mircea_popescu: fluency is when one can interact with native speaker for some definite, common task without having to ask for breaks.
mircea_popescu: the equivalent of "no need for flow control" in tcp/ip say
mircea_popescu: much lower bar.
asciilifeform: i think of 'fluency' as when i can translate poem
mircea_popescu: that is poemy not fluency.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, just zero inclination to memorize anything.

asciilifeform: it can be wedged apart with a relatively compact crowbar.
