solid state physics though, it dun stand still. |

| 14:12 |
asciilifeform |
from asciilifeform's reading of the histories, much of what usg did since '45 has been to create exaggerated impression of difficulty; and it was done at the cost of wasting ~own~ resources whenever possible, in stupendously massive way |
| 14:12 |
mircea_popescu |
anyway, the point being that many unsurmontable tech problems of the 1940s are hardly worth the mention today. "it's called a servo, duh" etc. |
| 14:12 |
asciilifeform |
fissiles per se, in particular, have not been strictly necessary since perhaps 1970. |
| 14:13 |
mircea_popescu |
asciilifeform it's all part of the http://trilema.com/2015/i-think-you-drastically-overestimate-the-military-importance-of-nuclear-weapons/ |

how better to be convincing that snake oil works, than by pretending it is very very expensive ? |
| 14:13 |
mircea_popescu |
it IS snake oil after all, as opposed to schmaltz. |
| 14:14 |
asciilifeform |
the snake aspect is in the 'apocalyptic' meme |
| 14:14 |
asciilifeform |
n00k worx perfectly fine to annul the advantage of columns of tanks, expensive jets, etc. |
| 14:14 |
asciilifeform |
this Would Be Wrong from inca's pov, naturally. |
| 14:14 |
asciilifeform |
so we get the memewars. |
| 14:15 |
asciilifeform |
su happily played along, incidentally, for the obvious reason. |
| 14:17 |
asciilifeform |
the myth of the 'but otherwise, nukefest, apocalypse' is one of the glues holding incatronic empire together. |
| 14:23 |
mircea_popescu |
there is no such thing as "columns of tanks". |
| 14:23 |
mircea_popescu |
how useful atomic detonation is against a jet, remains dubious. |
| 14:23 |
asciilifeform |
quite useful, 0 meaningful shielding |
| 14:24 |
mircea_popescu |
but it DOES destroy the convention of "all good things flow to city", which has been the rallying cry since the times of parmenides. |
| 14:24 |
asciilifeform |
and dynamically unstable, thing will fall like brick. |
| 14:24 |
asciilifeform |
and city, and whatever other fortification. |
| 14:24 |
mircea_popescu |
you couldn't have such a thing as "bay area" if every elliot around there could just donate a few peta bequerels to the general area. |
| 14:24 |
asciilifeform |
would last as long as the medieval castles did against gunpowder. |
| 14:24 |
mircea_popescu |
which is the point. elaine wants to live in city, elliot hasn't the sense to fuck her over. |
| 14:24 |
mircea_popescu |
has been the mo of humanity for what, 3k years. |
| 14:33 |
asciilifeform |
elliot likely could not produce even 18th c. cannon with own hands, much less n00k. |
| 14:33 |
asciilifeform |
joe stack, on other hand.. |
| 14:34 |
mircea_popescu |
and elaine likely could not produce 1800s warsaw ghetto with her own hands, let alone san francisco. |
| 14:34 |
mircea_popescu |
what of this ? |
| 14:34 |
asciilifeform |
1 is cumulative fungus, other is not. |
| 14:34 |
asciilifeform |
no shit midden ever detonated. |
| 14:34 |
mircea_popescu |
1 is cumulative fungus, other is non-cummulatiove lottery ticket. |
| 14:34 |
mircea_popescu |
if we're talking odds... |
| 14:34 |
asciilifeform |
i dun see how odds enter into it. |
| 14:35 |
asciilifeform |
the odds for elliot are not epsilon, but 0. |
| 14:35 |
mircea_popescu |
this is the point here : elaines accumulate, havin babies, but their upper bound is epsilon (having babies). elliots do not accumulate, being incapable to even communicate. |
| 14:35 |
mircea_popescu |
however, their upper bound is unknown at best. |
| 14:35 |
mircea_popescu |
so it's : to blow up, either pile enough epsilon elaines until it sums to blow up ; or else keep pulling pins out of elliots, until one does it. |
| 14:35 |
asciilifeform |
is it possible that we disagree what means 'an elliot' ? |
| 14:36 |
mircea_popescu |
perhaps. |
| 14:36 |
asciilifeform |
i picture that it means 'illiterate luser, unable to so much as change a tyre' |
| 14:36 |
mircea_popescu |
an elliot, modelled after and in homage of historical elliot rodgers, is individual who deems world is at the bar to justify its continued existence to him. |
| 14:37 |
mircea_popescu |
an elaine, modelled after no one in particular really, is individual who deems connecting with her sisters is a definitive strategy. |
| 14:37 |
asciilifeform |
'female wail' (tm)(r) ? |
| 14:37 |
mircea_popescu |
if you will. usually, it's called "mankind", for unclear reasons. |
| 14:38 |
mircea_popescu |
"the continuance of life on land", if viewed from zootehnist/slave ower perspective. |
| 14:39 |
mircea_popescu |
to elaine, the city is a paramount construction, which is why it was the first invention. this is not avoidable. as it happens, elliot to date hasn't well figured out ways to destroy the city. |
| 14:39 |
mircea_popescu |
locally, temporarily, but nothing significant. |
| 14:39 |
mircea_popescu |
except, of course, for the nuclear bomb, which is why all the apoplectic femlit on the topic since 1940s. |
| 14:40 |
mircea_popescu |
anyway. that's the original pussygrab. "will (((we))) ie, men, finally ruin (((the world))) ie gynecaeum ???" |
| 14:44 |
asciilifeform |
the tale with koschei's needle etc. inescapably comes to mind. |
| 14:44 |
mircea_popescu |
the problem is ~nobody wants to live without women if they can help it. as exemplified by say the nazi jew airbnb ; and as explained by say shaw.\ |
| 14:44 |
asciilifeform |
that, and mircea_popescu's ro joak with the running hen |
| 14:45 |
mircea_popescu |
so elliott doesn't stand very good prospects. |
| 14:45 |
mircea_popescu |
besides, there's a reason young males are the expendable biomass in all sexuate species. |
| 14:45 |
asciilifeform |
somewhere in the back of the hindbrain, the gynecaeum inmates want this ruin to wait for'em, for the fortress to be... pregnable |
| 14:46 |
asciilifeform |
it wasn't clear that the original, named elliot's problem was with the chix |
| 14:46 |
asciilifeform |
it was 'with system' |
| 14:46 |
mircea_popescu |
well yes. "how dares this world not justify its continued existence to me" |
| 14:46 |
asciilifeform |
sorta like mircea_popescu's jar mouse , only superficially 'hated the glass' |
| 14:47 |
mircea_popescu |
nah, mouse had a much flatter problem. |
| 14:47 |
asciilifeform |
mouse did not, i suspect, devote rest of his days to smashing glass wherever found. |
| 14:47 |
mircea_popescu |
animals don't hate. |
| 14:47 |
mircea_popescu |
kinda why they've no rights. |
| 14:47 |
mircea_popescu |
if the item will not play over multiple meets, it is not a subject of legal protection. |
| 14:47 |
mircea_popescu |
only things that will hate, which is to say, punish you in this game for your misbehaviour in previous games, can possibly be protected by a law. |
| 14:48 |
asciilifeform |
q is whether elliot is mouse, not whether mouse is a man |
| 14:48 |
mircea_popescu |
seems to me he set out some standards for the world to meet, ie vehemently delicious pork chops and cali blonde private whore ; and when world failed to live to them he "terminated" it as best he could. |
| 14:49 |
mircea_popescu |
the key part in the atomics-of-the-masses discussion is that "best he could". |
| 14:49 |
asciilifeform |
( does mircea_popescu much hang out with folx who see mouse as man ? it isn't a thing that'd normally occur to asciilifeform , say . where does he get the vegetarians ) |
