mircea_popescu: could work like that yea.
mircea_popescu: but it's deeper, really. "your impression you may have oppinions MUST be predicated on your certainty you can in fact back them up."
mircea_popescu: people aren't born with the right to like and dislike and opine and so forth. people are born "women and children", which is to say with the obligation to adapt to others likes and dislikes. we call these others "their betters".
mircea_popescu: some people progress from there, some don't, and that's it.
kdomanski: I'm quite certain that ability to prove his statements scientifically (i.e. transsexuals not being homo sapiens) woudn't matter in this context
mircea_popescu: i doubt you could prove such a thing.
mircea_popescu: you'll end up with "actors aren'ty human" and other avatars of medieval thoughtmire.
kdomanski: many politically incorrect opinions about race vs intelligence and such have scientific grounds but are nevertheless successfully persecuted
mircea_popescu: science isn't a present day version of "my older brother's in the navy seals" / "we are god's chosen people" where somehow it gives you a magic golen ticket to things.
mircea_popescu: but you're right, a lot of perfectly avoidable, self constructed problems are patently traceable to that misimpression being perhaps deliberately induced in children.

mircea_popescu: so be good if you don't wantthe bugaboo to get you too! like it got those other kids.
kdomanski: remember the guy who laughed at "fuck her right in the pussy"?
kdomanski: a female reporter asked him why did he laugh
trinque: kdomanski: I can say I've worked at software companies that did not police humor or politics in the slightest

mircea_popescu: remember the guy who got shot by a cop on a bike, because the cop had inferiority complex for not having a car so he stuck his head and torso through the ghuy's window ?
mircea_popescu: it's the land of freakarama over there, what do you think an example's gonna do ?
kdomanski: yeah
kdomanski: the actual long-lasting damage being done here is: now they're assembling an universal code of conduct or whatever
mircea_popescu: and ftrr, what is a "career" ? who do you know that has "a career" ?
mircea_popescu: bubble's going out and everyone's out on their ass, career or no career. this isn't showbiz, it's computer slavery.
mircea_popescu: then bubble's back on and they hire any shaved monkey with a pulse.
mircea_popescu: kdomanski the deep reason is that you folk can't eat on your own. obviously there's going to be a code of conduct : he who lives in his parents house observes the fucking rules neh .
shinohai: shit
mircea_popescu: seinfeld ~had~ a career. it lasted a decade, and he quit while ahead. who the fuck in software has a career ?
mircea_popescu: the lolcows. gavin and co, and it's a shitty career in unintentional comedy at that.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck even came up with the idea the concept of "career" is meaningful in a space which mostly aims to hire 20yos.

kdomanski: in a space which mostly aims to hire 20yos << that's merely a subset of that space
mircea_popescu: yeah. the subset in discussion : that follows twitter, shoiws up for conferences and derps at yshittynator events.
kdomanski: mircea_popescu: it does get them richer than anything else they could possibly do with their lives
mircea_popescu: proving once more that the fetish of wealth is a very poor compass for one's life.
