mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: <decimation> I would bet that if you asked the parents of the non-vaccinated, they would say that they want to 'prevent autism' << isn't the best way to achieve this to have kids while the womb in question is young, flexible and healthy and the sperms ibid? << i am willing to bet no, because autism was virtually unknown weh i was a kid, and old women had plentry of kids back then
PeterL: was it unknown because it did not exist or because it was not yet named?
mircea_popescu: didn't exist.
PeterL: the people now being called autistic, they would have been called something different back then?
PeterL: like weird?
mircea_popescu: mmm, but i would remember the cases, see. not a matter of calling.
PeterL: would you? maybe you just avoided people like that?
mircea_popescu: as a kid growing up, i had contact with... thousands, prolly at the outset 10k kids. in the sense of actually having seen them with mine own eyes.
mircea_popescu: and i'd have heard *something* about the particular weirdness.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, autism went in the supplemental fascicle of infantile pathology, with spina bifida et all horrors.

chetty: chems in foods etc, probably
mircea_popescu: yep
cazalla: mircea_popescu, ever come across gender dysphoria or same story as autism?
mircea_popescu: actually that DID happen.
mircea_popescu: maybe 1 in 20 preteen chick wanted to be a boy.
mircea_popescu: for various intensities of want.
chetty raises hand
cazalla: boy wanting to be girl i mean, tom boys are a given
mircea_popescu: i think i knew a grand total of maybe a dozen kids that'd be what you call confused. prolly more, but kept secret because at the time pretty stigmatic.
chetty: why do you suppose tom boys are a given, but boys wanting to be girls is wierd?
mircea_popescu: and to help everyone interested evaluate the above numeric claims : at the time in romania, housing was "allocated", to first time parents. so basically, you'd marry, play with the wife, once she missed a period you made a claim with your place of employment and ~1 year later they'd give you the keys to a new apartment. the density was maybe 1k / sqkm. i was a first born, but most families had two or more children - pl
mircea_popescu: enty as many as four or five.
mircea_popescu: consequently, in the 1sqkm area that's the hunting grounds of one healthy boy, i literally knew, by sight, thousands of kids.
mircea_popescu: and then in school, three 4 year cycles of 1-3k kids each.
mircea_popescu: 10k is a fair outer bound.
cazalla: chetty, i guess because i grew up knowing of some whereas the idea that a boy would think he is a girl was foreign to me until more recent years.. just an anecdote, but i see most of the boy to girl shit coming from sjw types, that's all
trinque: cazalla: seems that's part of a larger category of "identity fuck"
cazalla: in other words, i'm already familiar (comfortable?) with the idea of tom boys
chetty: well in fairness, tome boys dont always want to be boys, they just want the freedom
trinque: this idea that one can identify as anything, plant, mineral, sports mascot
mircea_popescu: chetty i suspect it's one way but not the other for purely biological reasons. specifically : 9 yos can do the same number of pull-ups.
mircea_popescu: then the girls get tits and butts, and they can no longer lift themselves up for a kingdom
mircea_popescu: it'
mircea_popescu: s readily obvious why kids' want to be boys rather than girls at that age.
mircea_popescu: PeterL: You might be thinking of Down's Syndrome, that has a higher occurrence in older mothers << yeah, that's proven. autism merely suspected.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: average age of childbirth goes up in america, all sorts of mental disfunctions go up in america. << except the machine is made to fail once it no longer can work.
mircea_popescu: PeterL: maybe somebody mistranslated a time unit somewhere along the way? << "but they translated the hebrew word for young woman to the greek word for nine months, and hence..."

mircea_popescu: PeterL: so I'm looking at houses near some of the jobs I'm applying for, I know I really don't want to live inside Detroit, but 15k for a 4br/2ba house seems tempting << it's the end of days i tell you, idiots here think 2br/1ba apts are 150k
mircea_popescu: ascii_field: no, it works in the sense that the folks in control, are still amply supplied with whores and blow << neiother of these are either rare, ahrd to get or particularly useful/desirable.
PeterL: but it's the taxes that kill you, you pay 4k+/yr property tax for these cheap houses, and city income tax of 2.5% (suburbs have no income tax)
Adlai: mircea_popescu: "made to fail once it no longer can work" << these are not binary
mircea_popescu: obviously. but there's still more error checking in the uterus than in the space program.

mircea_popescu: gtfo roflmao omfg. what ?!
mircea_popescu: how does a city even have the fucking authority to make an income tax ?!
PeterL: yeah, dumb idea, anybody who earns income moves out
mircea_popescu: nopbody told city hall "dudes, stfu and mind the parking meters" ?
PeterL: State passed a law because Detroit begged them to, Lansing charges 1%
mircea_popescu: it's absurd.
mircea_popescu: how about i buy a building, make a building income tax ?!
PeterL: a couple other cities in MI also have 1%, but most don't have any
Adlai: you should start a tax-free residential office park right outside the official city limits
PeterL: usually they also charge 1/2 the income tax to people who work in the city but live elsewhere
mike_c: NYC tax is 3.5%
mircea_popescu: Adlai nope. because once it's established they'd try to steal it and i'd have to go to war and massaacre them.
PeterL: the city of Southfield is essentially one giant office park for companies who wanted to move offices out of the city
Adlai: has it since instituted its own shitty tax?

mircea_popescu: In addition, anti-fascism was never to have as cheap as today. Previously, he could cost you your life, today it costs no more than lip service among peers - and heard to this, the exclusive circle of the upright, decent, brave. The fighters against law form the peerage of enlightened society. Or even a shot polemical: Here is an indulgence trade takes place; the moral superiority can be acquired simply by joining the

mircea_popescu: win.
mircea_popescu: The repertoire is considerable: There is the rock against law and rapping against the Right, of course, sing and cry against law, but also against the right costumes and football games against law. The "Green Youth" in Hamburg regularly invites to "Celebrate against law," a political deal, which is by the way very well received by young people, and the children of the class 7b of Augustin-Wibbelt High School in Warendo
mircea_popescu: rf even dancing against law - early practice only makes me be an anti-fascist. The other hand, is difficult to measure the success of the courageous campaign of the DGB youth in Dortmund: "No sex with Nazis." And possibly mix different motivations in Berlin Initiative "According to fuck each law."

decimation: the real reason is because of politics; and we're going to get to that in a second. But the person had to say something. He couldn't just say, 'Because I'm politically important.' Or, 'My state is politically important.' Or whatever it was. So, he said,' Well, milk is special.' And the Senator, who was not from a milk state, said,' Why?' And the witness had a problem there. He had to think of something. So he said, 'Well, milk's bulky.'

It's my job to keep it that way.'"
