asciilifeform: for the record, when i first encountered green ('07 ?) i definitely had sympathy for the 'someone ought to pay me to think, fuck the world' thing, until i figure out what she intended to 'think' -about-
mircea_popescu: it seems she literally intends to remembrance her youth ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, i do not personally believe this "pay me to think" thing has any merit whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: go do something useful, so your thoughts may be worth thinking in the first place.
asciilifeform: it has same merit as 'i would like to fly to buenos aires on farts'
asciilifeform: (who needs 'airbus' if can do this!)
asciilifeform: the academia racket does create a superficial chumpatronic appearance that some folks are 'paid to think'
asciilifeform: and certain folks who imagine that they could suck that teat while doing $theirthing instead of penning treatises re: checking privilege etc. - envy academics
mircea_popescu: similarly the entertainment racket creates the superficial chumpatronic appearance that some chicks "have it easy"
mircea_popescu: one needs a particular sort of ingrained uselessness outlook to come to that sort of worldview.

mircea_popescu: old = privileged ?
asciilifeform often experiences mindfuck in u.s. (and argentinian!) 'antique' shops on account of recognizing various objects (razors, furniture, bakelite phones, kitchen junk, etc.) from his childhood (which took place in a technologically and crapflationarily-behind by three or four decades part of the globe)
Adlai: aha, better definition: old people are less likely to appreciate tatran
mircea_popescu: in other news, http://33.media.tumblr.com/1ea44b17eb4bd24fad08a6d8be2a7933/tumblr_mpwxdoKMIA1rwmba9o1_500.gif >> check the chick out. she's all indignant but doesn't move a muscle to stop it.

Adlai is listening to: Tatran - The Utilitarian (2:28)

Adlai: but it's land of the scam. on the topic of which, is there some dibs mechanism for qntrarticles?
Adlai has started research on a potential article, and would like to confirm that effort isn't wasted, or at the very least ,collaborate
mircea_popescu: Adlai dibs ? how you mean ?
