BingoBoingo: Right. Urbana's dissertation is '05 so likely that is the last time he felt anything close to a lash. Anndruserrren Has well...
mircea_popescu: so basically the progression is an approximation of "how many lashes"
mircea_popescu: it's a theory.
BingoBoingo: Slavegirl is made to develop skills and competence. Urbana Apsie fumbles until he gets paper then pretends to be french. Andreeseeeessnsnesnsnensnes made netscape, got money, and spend the time after that accindentlying himself.
mircea_popescu: one of my esl slavergirls can influence the future more than the entire troop of 'em.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, to make the point plain : the real world, practical value of a libertard, such as a liberal with a phd from urbana & his firends, is just about epsilon.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the results should be informative, for normally socialised individuals. we're dealing with idiots coming out of urbana however, so he's prolly still in denial about just how utterly he got humiliated over the past six months
