gabrielradio: on the list it goes
gabrielradio: i like to think i can mold the chicks into being cool with that wherever
mircea_popescu: dawg, that's where they play that game. you wanna play that game, gotta go where they play it.
mircea_popescu: so move to the bronx.
mircea_popescu: what am i, like harlan ellison's noob that fell off the turnip truck ? so excited to be published i forget to pick up the check ?
gabrielradio: just curious. i'm on the other end of the spectrum, i would like to have as many kids as possible, and ideally be involved as little as possible, maybe in their education or such
gabrielradio: spreading the genes
mircea_popescu: the sake of what ?
gabrielradio: any? not even one, for the sake of it?
mircea_popescu: how about "i don't feel like wasting any of the women i can stand enough to fuck on this fool's errand" ?
gabrielradio: mircea_popescu, i find your stance on procreating intriguing. i'm curious, would you be inclined to say have biological kids, but not raise them yourself?
ben_vulpes: that's the sweetest thing i've ever seen from you, mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: yet another reason i don't feel inclined to procreate : i don't actually know of a group for whose sake i'd be willing to lie to eventual daughters.
asciilifeform: for some reason i imagined that it were done by field medics in schools or the like.
mircea_popescu: who did you think was prescribing all the ritalin, obgyns ?
mircea_popescu: in the states ? myeah.
asciilifeform: didja know there was such a thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: on a not-unrelated note, i learned that a few floors down from my office there is a ~pediatric shrink~. prolly prescribes dope, even.
mircea_popescu: nutty, but the fit flavour of nut.
mircea_popescu: "lie to little boys about their value, which is absent ; lie to little girls about their inferiority, which is nonsense. come out ahead of "saner" people."
mircea_popescu: and no, bismarckian public education is the original PRODUCTIVE scam. that's why the system even survived through centuries (and really, the same shit held up classical antiquity, just, different name)
mircea_popescu: it's rather instructive to compare the "what they were telling 5yo boys" sides of historical conflicts, with the "who won", check out that r!
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the point : unless you actually spend the inordinate amount of effort and make-believe into getting boys appear (to themselves, and to others) actually worth the effort, they won't be. and from there on the whole shebang unravels.
mircea_popescu: yes murican "educational experts" never got wtf the thing is for or about. because whatever, paint copysts.
mircea_popescu: to the extent it EVER worked, it was specifically designed koan-style by koan-aware people for that one guy.
mircea_popescu: that's the damned beauty of it.
asciilifeform: anyway, yes, in practice, this. but to the extent anyone designed the whole shebang, it was for biorobots.
mircea_popescu: that one guy. the rest you can pour gasoline on.
mircea_popescu: but that's what the WHOLE THING is for.
mircea_popescu: school is for providing the background where korolev grows up. both he and the background are unaware of what they're doing there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is the meaning of useless.
ben_vulpes: http://politicalcomment.blogspot.com/Bloom%20County.gif << lmk when the nyooz goes out haxxed, then perhaps there is enough windows
mircea_popescu: who designed their winning rockets, and more importantly, who decided to even go that way ?
mircea_popescu: how many boyz in the successful satellite launch ?
asciilifeform: precisely the kind of creature called for.
mircea_popescu: not for all of them, but you don't need to, and it doesn't work reliably either, but you don't need it to, either.
asciilifeform: to industry, quite the opposite of useless. biorobot. assemble ipnohe, all day, every day.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that boys are retarded while girls are useless.
mircea_popescu: " It's obvious to anyone who has ever seen a boy that they appear, as compared to a similarly aged girl, completely retarded."
mircea_popescu: the death where mp is NOT EVEN IMPRESSED. and he's from fucking romanistan!
mircea_popescu: the death where everyone runs around like a headless chicken while the economy disappears "all by itself" and every war is lost (and scarcely even worth the name)
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many people are willing to earnestly contemplate the sad truth that you HAVE TO tell small boys that they're better than small girls, and you HAVE TO construct everything to make them actually believe it. nobody wants to do this, everyone has to do this, because the alternative is, plainly speaking, death.
mircea_popescu: then people wanna know "what went wrong"
mircea_popescu: somehow the obvious "if you've not managed to sell school to boys you failed" is not getting across. "girls will stick with it because that's what girls ARE" is not even possible to contemplate.
mircea_popescu: the result of making education "more inclusive" ? society gets tuned out by the most important half of itself.
assbot: The Last Psychiatrist: The Graying Of Kindergarten: The Goal Is To Keep Them In Puberty, Part 1 ... ( http://bit.ly/1XakP8p )
mircea_popescu: e girls. So the problem isn't simply that boys mature slower than girls, it is that they are required to perform the same exact skills at the same exact time. Any surprise boys hate school more, "ADHD" is more prevalent, etc? And there is more anxiety and thus pressure about the potential ineptitude of sons than daughters.
mircea_popescu: Second, one might ask why this is happening to boys more than girls. It's obvious to anyone who has ever seen a boy that they appear, as compared to a similarly aged girl, completely retarded. So it makes sense that affluent parents-- any parents-- who have the option, will redshirt their five year old boy and hope he gets another year of maturity under his belt so that-- and this is my point-- he can keep up with th

ascii_field: can't speak for other side of the atlantic, but over here 'security deposit' is to be returned to the tenant when he leaves, minus repair costs, the latter to be presented in writing and with receipts from repairmen
mircea_popescu: words mean nothing in and of themselves, and the pretense to the contrary is always self-serving bullshit when deployed in such contexts, "oh, i can't afford to litigate"
mircea_popescu: we don't have the contract before our eyes, but im willing to bet it reads "and renter to return place IN THE SAME CONDITION" which by tradition is interpreted in that locale that you pay for the fumigation after you're done in the shape of an upfront thing.

mircea_popescu: out of line equalitarianism is at the root of ALL social ills in the western world today, not just one or another.
mircea_popescu: which is what drives the de-professionalization of lawyers and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: in a world where evereyone's deemed a gentleman, you will need ~five times the population in lawyers. and it's all a colossal waste of time anwyay, only about 1% or so of the population actually gets in relationships complex enough to merit memorialization
mircea_popescu: "psychothis is underdiagnosed" is exactly like the court's idea that the population is juridically underserved. not so - you can't have things that are definitionally for the few (because the few don't benefit from the banal commonality of the many, soi they need something else to allow society to function).
mircea_popescu: too stupid to understand how things work and why, dumb enough to focus on one metric and forget about the others ("hey, engagement is hard to measure!") etc.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile - there are not enough rich people around to have the same sort of "what's done" thing going. and so they must have contracts.
mircea_popescu: and this obviously only affects the poor to any degree - if antinous had or hadn't a trousseau or if he had to pay some homonymous coins, hadrianus couldn't have cared less.
mircea_popescu: it's the same story.
mircea_popescu: so, if here the landlords rent out for 10 a month but you gotta pay 10 in advance "as guarantee" and there they rent out for 11 a month but you don't,
davout: first part sorta reducing to "we'll give you money with the girl to make make rape and pillage less profitable than civilized marriage" ?
mircea_popescu: but it is NEVER the case that the poor are being gypped by this. whatever the law of the land is, they're getting it back in some other form.
mircea_popescu: these are tacit arrangements, you will notice : nobody bothered to type out nicely the rousseau contract of it all, nor bothered to ask the poor to sign, or even explain it to them. because fuck them they're not worth it.
mircea_popescu: aka, pay for all our sins, as we can't afford to do it. and so you get godfathers, and get to enjoy the movie. that's his role in the community : that he pays your blodgelt for you.
mircea_popescu: and when inheritance changes from male only to both children, as it did in post fedual sicily, the obligation moves from her parents (as he will inherit HIS parents but not hers) to "both parents" which quickly devolves into a sort of "what rich man in the comunity wishes to sponsor this festival"
mircea_popescu: conversely, in lands at carrying capacity, the old dudes gotta pay the young dude for their unwarranted priviledge of having occupied a plot of land, which he can not do.
mircea_popescu: well obviously it's a trick question. in pastoral communities/other situations where the land is well under carrying capacity, the young man pays, because the old folk could have just drunk and made merry, but instead they put the effort into raising the filly / rose garden / whatever the dude's gonna enjoy. so they should get something for their trouble.
mircea_popescu: in some other places/cultures, the habit is the reverse : the parents pay the young man to take her.
mircea_popescu: so, in some places/cultures, it is the habit that young men committing marriage PAY to the parents of the young bride a sum of money.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to get to the bottom of this matter, let's approach it from a more convenient angle.
mircea_popescu: not the point!
mircea_popescu: kinda lulzily parallels the entire "i'm special in my you're special t shirt"
mircea_popescu: (and amusingly, the poor pretend this is an exceptional time-and-place thing but pretend so ubiquitously and at all times.)
mircea_popescu: this is what the poor pretend it means. it never ever does.
asciilifeform: where i live, it more typically means that you are 'more distant from the pipeline'
asciilifeform: (to show up in court, press the issue, etc)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the rub is that enforcement of the contract typically requires money. or, at the very least, time.
mircea_popescu: so yes, it;'s a contract like any other, it ends upon specific performance.

mircea_popescu: The DroneDefender can help protect us from those who may wish to do us harm, said Dan Stamm, who led the research project. It can help us in numerous settings, from the White House lawn to bases and embassies overseas; from prisons and schools to historic sites. It easily and reliably neutralizes the threat.

mircea_popescu: the idiot crowd is generally excited enough.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300354 << the problem is more in the lines of "finding excited people that aren't idiots".

mircea_popescu: but otherwise yes, fluffy is actually a deffect. just like blue eyes.

assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 08:03:55; HeySteve: if the scheme takes off, it's also a way for honest landlords to attract tenants by declaring their compliance to a standard
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300277 << not unlike the idea that if liberland takes off, it'll attract good people by declaring their allegiance to a country.
mircea_popescu: t. hire some dudes with guns offer the old style protection if you got what it takes. and if you do not, i'll just talk to the actual dudes in question and you'll eat your own ass so fast you'll be on youtube.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300279 << so a) you'll spend your life driving between bickering nuts. this is a worse deal than what psychs get, at least there you gotta drive to his office. ; b) the blockchain and everything else is entirely superfluous here. your entire idea is "hey, make me the mp of renting in south africa". maybe they will or maybe they won't but you really don't need the funny ha
mircea_popescu: this "o noes we are opressed" talk is the stock in trade of the worthless class. for good reason.
mircea_popescu: seriously, you're going to invent a blockchain way to make losers not be beaten up by their betters ? because why.
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 07:55:20; HeySteve: punkman, it varies. often they overcharge for minor damages or make a point of being absent when the tenant is required to return the keys
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300260 << so you don't return, leave them notice of breach.
mircea_popescu: and if he doesn't, well, twice the deposit worth of damage + whatever it costs him to break in should be just about fair.
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 07:50:28; HeySteve: when a landlord retains a tenant's rental deposit without justification. very common around the world and hard to challenge legally
