mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the main problem with the world in general is this cloud of university plankton.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why they're permitted to still exist.
mircea_popescu: i guess as per your "i can trivially pretend to have a 1TH man through employing 1k 1GH chickens" but still.
asciilifeform: unlike these chickens, hash splits nicely, and still pulls, like the housecats pulled freya's chariot
mircea_popescu: here's the scoop : if you're a nobody-professor-of-something-or-the-other you aren't above the average barrista. there is legitimate need for many many girls working the bar, working the pole, working the spotlight, working the suckers, working the cock etc.
mircea_popescu: there is NO need of twenty "professors of philosophy".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile all the panglossen are entirely wasting the baron's cheese.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: scarcely ever are these d00dz professor of anything
asciilifeform: typically -- academipeon
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://dblp.uni-trier.de/pers/hd/c/Charlet:Arnaud << random nobody, did a coupla of papers in a decade, moved on to gay for pay or w/e it is they do to support themselves in europe these days.
asciilifeform: this dun look like a papermonkey, but moar like industrial grunt ordered to write paper once a decade by pointyhair boss
asciilifeform: monkey churns out one per ~week, typically.
mircea_popescu: Project Management Officer at EDF Région de Marseille, France Ingénierie mécanique ou industrielle
mircea_popescu: Précédent EDF, The University of British Columbia Enseignement
mircea_popescu: seems EXACTLY uniplankton to me.
mircea_popescu: and no, there IS NO fucking reason british columbia should even have a refurbished adult theatre which it pompously if pointlessly calls "university"
shinohai: What a waste of a perfectly good Adult theatre
asciilifeform: iirc pete_dushenski went there?
mircea_popescu: it is not physically possible for the barren fucking wastes to have such a thing as a university much like it's not possible for a two inch songbird to have "an erect penis"
