mircea_popescu: this makes so much fucking sense...
jurov: these dudes dream of patenting whole food supply
jurov: lost cause
mircea_popescu: obviously. the bonus of a "stable" state is rent seeking.
mircea_popescu: that politico article is really badly written.
mircea_popescu: "But the problem isn’t that we have inequality. Some inequality is intrinsic to any high-functioning capitalist economy. The problem is that inequality is at historically high levels and getting worse every day."
mircea_popescu: fuck you lol. as long as most people can afford internet, and running water, inequality is way way way too low.
mircea_popescu: as a rule of thumb, 80% of the population must eat when it can, not when it wants. that's NORMAL levels of inequality.
chetty: a lot of Detroit had water shut off, must be getting there
mircea_popescu: aite then.
mircea_popescu: but i mean, this "inequality" bs is just about to pass "global warming" in idiocy.
mircea_popescu: what am i supposed to believe random rich guy with the copy skils of a politico staff writer is writing copy for politico ?
mircea_popescu: "And also like you, I have been rewarded obscenely for my success, with a life that the other 99.99 percent of Americans can’t even imagine. Multiple homes, my own plane, etc., etc. You know what I’m talking about."
mircea_popescu: yeah, i know what he WANTS to be talking about. the problem is that he has no idea what he's talking about.
mircea_popescu: multiple homes pssh.
mircea_popescu: every fucktard with a college loan "looking to start a family" owns "multiple homes". out of which he and the girl will move out, to save on the rent.
chetty: marketwatch had piece about what actual rich people do, one thing they noted is that most of them you would never know because they dont live that way
mircea_popescu: this is one direct result of the insufficient inequality in the us and especially europe.
chetty: (well not wasting money is how a lot of people get to be rich ..oh and companies do well)
mircea_popescu: for that matter, i would wish to point out that i have not been rewarded obscenely for my success. for one thing, i have not "been rewarded". i rewarded myself. for the other thing, the only obscene part in all of this is that some schmuck dares write idiotic copy for politico instead of begging to shine my shoes.
mircea_popescu: fucktarded kids think if they drooled on textbooks for four years the useless bulshit they learned is going to work, and ima let passive mood stick because what, rich people are stupid, social studies dorks are made to rule the world ?
chetty: well the point of that crap is really to try and be sure the mob won't come after you, because you care!!!
chetty: Note:doing anything is crass, but you must sound like you care!
mircea_popescu: the point of that crap is to make the mob think that it still has power.
mircea_popescu: you realise that shit isn't being read by the people it purports to address.

Mats_cd03: .hk is a twister of inequality...one of the safest metros in the world
mircea_popescu: chetty yes, compared to organised stupidity, disorganised stupidity works better.
mircea_popescu: know what works even better than that ? inequality!

mircea_popescu: well obviously.
mircea_popescu: but whether an ideal works or does not work has little ideal implication.
asciilifeform: obvious - to us. but, apparently, not to the folks who desperately wanted a return to whichever century they connected their childhood with
mircea_popescu: which poses quite the conundrum to ideologies predicated on ideal purity
mircea_popescu: hence the sperrle shock.
mircea_popescu: which also makes all this talk of "fighting corruption" rather dubious. if not corruption then purity, and consequently... mola's paradise ?
asciilifeform: 'fight corruption' is always 'fight the other fellow's corruption so i can cash in'
asciilifeform: and never any other thing
mircea_popescu: not verbally.
asciilifeform: see the 'insider trading' prosecutions in usa, for example./
mircea_popescu: but they never say "corruption is great but this other fellow i sdoing it wrong"
mircea_popescu: which is a problem.
mircea_popescu: gives the fucktards (like say the people reading politico) the wrong impression.
mircea_popescu: and the problem with fucktards is that they're always the children, which means they'll have to mange on their own someday.
mircea_popescu: and that day... tehy'll try to implement their mistaken ideas about corruption, to great lulz.
chetty: <mircea_popescu> and that day... tehy'll try to implement their mistaken ideas about corruption, to great lulz.<<<isn't that like now
mircea_popescu: not yet.
mircea_popescu: the great ideological purity revolution hasn't happened yet in the us.

pankkake: so who's likely to become america's hitler?
mircea_popescu: we don't see him yet.
mircea_popescu: he's prolly serving time on a petty charge somewhere in pittsburgh
mircea_popescu: he's got plenty of time yet.
pankkake: I propose we kill all american painters, as a safety precaution

mircea_popescu: pankkake shut up and stop expecting statistics to be used scientifically by the social studies bunch.
pankkake: yeah the question is what's next after a (albeit half) black president
asciilifeform: pankkake: what's next >> clitler.
chetty: female of course

asciilifeform: imho it's a pretty useful cut-up
mircea_popescu: coming up for a redeal huh.
chetty folds
mircea_popescu: 70ish years apart these
mircea_popescu: course that's the thesis to begin with, im sure.
asciilifeform: usg1 - 'idealism', attempt at actual federation of independent states; usg2 - strong federal / centralized, slave states alive; usg3 - slave states zapped, vestiges of state autonomy removed, capitalism; usg4 - the one we know and love.
cazalla: chetty: the man that ran that study is a fag who raises a couple boys with his faggy partner and does it right here in melbourne, australia :\
mircea_popescu: cazalla lol wait, self reported studies ?!
mircea_popescu: ahaha gotta love the magic shows.
cazalla: yes, they asked the faggy parents
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in fairness, usg1 failed on its own merits.
asciilifeform: naturally
cazalla: the guy who ran it is always on tv talk shows, newspapers here promoting that degeneracy
chetty: cazalla, mircea_popescu typical of whats called science these days
asciilifeform: no martians landed to zap it.
mircea_popescu: cazalla i take it you against gay people raising children ?
cazalla: yeah as well as single parents
mircea_popescu: how about daycare ?
cazalla: nope, none of that either
mircea_popescu: so woman stuck at home ?
pankkake: funny how 80% of parents are female though
cazalla: if she has children, that's her place
mircea_popescu: so then if you hook up with intelligent women you can never have children ?
cazalla: breastfeeding too, no formula, had to really drive that home with the missus
cazalla: intelligent women don't have children though
cazalla: or not as many anyway
chetty: hmmmm
mircea_popescu: you see how this may become a problem ?
asciilifeform: 'may become' ?
pankkake still wonders how scientific Idiocracy is
mircea_popescu: it's cinematific :D
chetty: pankkake, I think it is upon us
cazalla: yeah, i know where you're headed with this
asciilifeform idiocracy << prefers the old, paper version, 'the marching morons'
cazalla: a woman can be smart and be a housewife
mircea_popescu: not for long.
cazalla: they've just been sidetracked with this have a career at the same time
mircea_popescu: interacting with idiots makes you one, and children are born idiots.
mircea_popescu: the only practical way to keep the women intellectually stimulated enough in your scheme is to make a harem.
cazalla: i prefer to look at my son as a blank slate, perhaps even a fresh start :P
mircea_popescu: which is obviously where things are going, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: yah, that'd be the definition of idiocy. blank state.
chetty: children are never balnk slates

cazalla: genetics wise?
chetty: cazalla, trust me kids have a personality from day 1
mircea_popescu: chetty personality is not intelligence however. idiocy speaks to the noggin not the thymus.
chetty: mircea_popescu, yeah, but even the idiots are not blanks
cazalla: not sure about from day 1
mircea_popescu: well, "blank for our purposes"
cazalla: from my own observations, up until 3 months, all his behaviour seemed instinctual, feed me etc
chetty: cazalla, but even that has parameters, some are more demanding for instance
asciilifeform: instinctual leaves plenty of room for variation. ask a fellow who keeps dogs.
mircea_popescu: cazalla just that some kids grab the tit and some don't is enough.
asciilifeform: ;;google marshmallow experiment

mircea_popescu: actually i recall this hilarious scene where mother was trying to feed baby while bent over it, using her hands to work
mircea_popescu: and baby kept kicking tit out of his mouth
cazalla: ours is a good baby though, started sleeping through nights from 3 months, only cries if hungry, not demanding at all
mircea_popescu: then being puzzled for the second while it settled down back in his mouth
chetty: cazalla, see even you described 'good baby'
cazalla: as long as we respond to whatever it is he wanted, his demands cease, doesn't seem like personality to me
cazalla: good as in good for me and wife
mircea_popescu: ‘Spanish grandeur was at its height in the Sixteenth Century, when the sun never set on her dominions. Our great century, the century of the mystics, the saints and the artists. The century of the Spanish Empire! Well, do you know how many inhabitants our fatherland had then when it was truly great? Twelve millions! What does it matter is half the population has to disappear if that is what is required for us t
mircea_popescu: o reconquer our Empire?’
mircea_popescu: ahahah these fucking idiots lmao.
mircea_popescu: at the time spain was 12 million, england was 2.8, and the only thing keeping everyone from sucking caliph cock was the difficulty in traversing 5000 miles with an army
asciilifeform: 'hatefacts!'
mircea_popescu: even so spanyards today are about as white as the sicilians.
mircea_popescu: which, to quote mr whorley,
mircea_popescu: "It's a fact. Yeah. You see, uh, Sicilians have, uh, black blood pumpin' through their hearts. Hey, no, if eh, if eh, if you don't believe me, uh, you can look it up. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, uh, you see, uh, the Moors conquered Sicily. And the Moors are niggers."
cazalla: so am i wrong to oppose gays marrying and raising children?
mircea_popescu: cazalla there's no wrong dude. you think whatever you think.
cazalla: they raise kids as it is anyway so guess it doesn't really matter
mircea_popescu: unsurprisingly, your thinking has problems.
mircea_popescu: so has everyone else's.
mircea_popescu: pick a set of problems you can live with.
cazalla: well yes you said this many months ago when you said it was xenophobic
cazalla: said i
cazalla: that it too had problems
mircea_popescu: !s xenophobic
pankkake: well given that most couples appear to be females, there's not much you can do anyway
mircea_popescu: pankkake nor does it make much practical difference. it's like better daycare, if they didn't adopt they'd be hired to care for those kids in a state run institution.
pankkake: there really isn't a lack of parents wanting to adopt
cazalla: daycare is degenerate
mircea_popescu: cazalla why ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake i dunno about that.
pankkake: at least if you want a western kid
pankkake: most adoption agencies said gays won't be a priority, so adoption through that is going to be… never
chetty: abortion on demand tends to produce a shortage of adoptable babies
pankkake: yes clearly
cazalla: it just doesn't make sense to pay someone else to raise your kid, someone that you don't really know, seems more a convenience for parents so they can work to purchase trinkets
mircea_popescu: chetty last i checked us foster homes were undersupplied badly.
mircea_popescu: cazalla it makes the following sense : your wife will only learn to fuck so well it'll surprise you if you send her to work in a brothel.
mircea_popescu: and your kids are only going to make you proud if they spend time with strangers.
chetty: mircea_popescu, foster is different, child services just loves to take and place kids
cazalla: even that would not help my wife
cazalla: sure, as he grows up but some of this women stick their kid in day care at 3 months just so they can get back to work, seems a critical time for mother/child
mircea_popescu: well yes.
mircea_popescu: but now you're discussing degree, not the principle of the matter.
chetty: daycare seems more needed since kids cant play outside
mircea_popescu: chetty not to mention all those kids at the border :p
pankkake: for many, it's not a choice anymore - the man only can not afford to feed his family… when there is a man
pankkake: !up ltcpro
mircea_popescu: pankkake which simply means that man shouldn't have a family in the first place.
cazalla: yes but it's only not a choice because women decided to value careers over being a homekeeper
mircea_popescu: cazalla men decided to value women that value other shit than homekeeping.
cazalla: funny that men didn't have problems paying the bills, mortage etc when women stayed at home
mircea_popescu: this predates the sufragettes by about half a century.
mircea_popescu: it's all male driven. even if not driven by most of the males. it's driven by the males that matter, which are the males women care about anyway.
mircea_popescu: this entire nonsense depicting feminism as a woman driven thing... heh. mkay.
mircea_popescu: they're just trying to serve.
pankkake: tax structure. work is heavily taxed, services often offers tax reductions
mircea_popescu: pankkake i don't follow this argument.
pankkake: I don't think this is a "natural" change
pankkake: a single worker has less purchasing power than before
mircea_popescu: of course.
mircea_popescu: only because you use a bizarre standard tho.
mircea_popescu: he can buy more grain than before.
mircea_popescu: it's just you somehow decided it's ok for the worker to buy magic tools nowadays.
cazalla: can he buy more mcdonalds though
mircea_popescu: how much was an ipad "before" ?
mircea_popescu: cazalla nope.
mircea_popescu: before he couldn't either. he ate humble pie.
asciilifeform: can't live in an 'ipad' though.
cazalla: healthier
pankkake: what about housing/medical/education?
mircea_popescu: "When war broke out, the village was collectivised and
mircea_popescu: food supplies rationed until fields could be tilled and the harvest came in. His fighting bulls
mircea_popescu: were killed for food and the villagers tasted red meat for the first time in their lives. "
mircea_popescu: single worker, before. ate red meat for the first time in his life... accidentally.
asciilifeform: the only interesting costs, to monitor, for the question of 'what could worker afford then vs now' is food and rent
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can either compare same exact item, ie, grain. literally. grain
chetty: and energy
mircea_popescu: or else scale. if you scale you make some implications.
asciilifeform: housing - at least in usa - is where the real racket is.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform from what i recall ohio was cheap :p
mircea_popescu: "before" the poor laborer only lived in town if an actual townsman took him as a household slave.
asciilifeform: notice also that the 'technology' - as in, the nature of the actual 'machine that keeps the rain out' has regressed, rather than advanced.
asciilifeform: ohio is 'cheap' to the californian who never sets foot there.
mircea_popescu: no, objectively. what was it, 30k to buy ?
mircea_popescu: 1k ounces of silver for a property is less than what it was. "before".

mircea_popescu: what do you mean by "folk" ?
nubbins`: rubes
mircea_popescu: the multitude of laborers that'd like to pretend themselves townsfolk ?
asciilifeform: with mechanisation of agriculture, everyone is stuck pretending to be a burgher
mircea_popescu: no, inasmuch as some actually are.
asciilifeform: some - yes.
nubbins`: y'know, i come here for the socioeconomic discourse more than anything else
mircea_popescu: granted, having the rest pretend like they're included rather than being shot a la franco is a great accolade for the burgher press
mircea_popescu: but it ain't changing the substance, as good packaging as it may be.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` :p
nubbins`: c'est vrai!
mircea_popescu: kinda why college education is so important, and its widening so unavoidable, and including the blacks so paramountly important.

mircea_popescu: hence all the "red pill" talk.
asciilifeform: let's go straight to the guild. the proverbial google grunt, who pays 150k usd / yr. to live in auto range of his 200k gig - is he a proper burgher? or peon imposter?
mircea_popescu: peon imposter.
mircea_popescu: the measuring stick is very simple to implement : post on your blog something about niggers.
mircea_popescu: if you're fine a year later, you're a burgher.
mircea_popescu: any other outcome, such as not having a blog, or the word on your keyboard, or a job after ?
mircea_popescu: peon impostor.
asciilifeform: might be too easy - some folks have very apathetic inquisitors attached
mircea_popescu: that's what burghers got : the franchise, ie, th right to express themselves.
mircea_popescu: ok, so tell your boss you're not doing X. period.
mircea_popescu: same thing.
mircea_popescu: that's the deep problem with the baker not wanting to bake gay cake.
asciilifeform: easier to go with the ancient formula - live off salary? peon. live off capital? burgher
mircea_popescu: he thinks himself a burgher. the guild begs to differ.
mircea_popescu: it's not either easy or effectual, because capital is no longer meaniungful in fiat
asciilifeform: aka 'fuck you money' etc
mircea_popescu: but ok, if you live off your bitcoin investments, then yes.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, nobody has any capital. inasmuch as they can't just wire it to bin laden's boys if they choose to.
cazalla: yeah, i live off my capital atm but i'm a peon
cazalla: so that doesn't work
asciilifeform: who doesn't want to be burgher.
mircea_popescu: historically, hunters.

pankkake: remember that marxists wanted to break families; children raised by the community
asciilifeform: naturally intentional. folks like huxley, etc. who imagined that the totalitarian kingdoms of the future would farm children in mass orphanages got it all wrong. the 'children of the state' are instead grown - like described above.

mircea_popescu: "In 1910, Gonzalo had fallen in love with a celebrated beauty in Salamanca, Inés Luna Terrero. She was extremely rich and, like Gonzalo, spoke English, French and German. She was a progressive feminist who shocked local opinion because she smoked and wore trousers. She was devastated when, in 1911, Gonzalo broke off the engagement in favour of Magdalena Álvarez Ruiz, the daughter of a cochero (a man who hired out
mircea_popescu: carriages and cars). Inés Luna Terrero never married and apparently, for the rest of her life, carried a torch for the dashingly handsome cavalry officer." << how did that expression go, nobody will ever win the battle of the sexes, too much fraternizing with the enemy ?

justusranvier: Of course they were
justusranvier: But at least you could get reliable service out of them (for certain definitions of "reliable")
ThickAsThieves: i kinda wonder what volume triggers that
justusranvier: Too many newbies are getting sucked into using them with all the good press they've been getting recently
ThickAsThieves: they have like a $50k/day limit and charge 1%
ThickAsThieves: they use it to trade i guess?
justusranvier: Now when they end up getting Cyprused, this current batch of newbies won't be able to claim they weren't warned.

mircea_popescu: single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head
mircea_popescu: found by landlord.
mircea_popescu: On the subject of his own death, Ruppert said:
mircea_popescu: “The question I am asked most frequently at my lectures is why I haven’t been killed yet. I have two answers. First, is it is not cost-effective, and the response would cause more problems than it would solve. I am not important enough to kill. Secondly, I will not die one minute before God has decided.”
mircea_popescu: apparently, teh god had decided.
