mircea_popescu aha. it's particularly difficult in humans, because as ben_vulpes observes, flesh. [00:45]

ben_vulpes ahaha the banana [01:08]
mircea_popescu Second, one might ask why this is happening to boys more than girls. It's obvious to anyone who has ever seen a boy that they appear, as compared to a similarly aged girl, completely retarded. So it makes sense that affluent parents-- any parents-- who have the option, will redshirt their five year old boy and hope he gets another year of maturity under his belt so that-- and this is my point-- he can keep up with th [01:09]
mircea_popescu e girls. So the problem isn't simply that boys mature slower than girls, it is that they are required to perform the same exact skills at the same exact time. Any surprise boys hate school more, "ADHD" is more prevalent, etc? And there is more anxiety and thus pressure about the potential ineptitude of sons than daughters. [01:09]

assbot The Last Psychiatrist: The Graying Of Kindergarten: The Goal Is To Keep Them In Puberty, Part 1 ... ( http://bit.ly/1XakP8p ) [01:09]
mircea_popescu the result of making education "more inclusive" ? society gets tuned out by the most important half of itself. [01:09]
mircea_popescu way to go. [01:09]
mircea_popescu somehow the obvious "if you've not managed to sell school to boys you failed" is not getting across. "girls will stick with it because that's what girls ARE" is not even possible to contemplate. [01:10]
mircea_popescu then people wanna know "what went wrong" [01:10]
ben_vulpes http://i58.tinypic.com/w7j0j7.jpg << still relevant [01:10]
assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1XakQJu ) [01:11]
mircea_popescu i wonder how many people are willing to earnestly contemplate the sad truth that you HAVE TO tell small boys that they're better than small girls, and you HAVE TO construct everything to make them actually believe it. nobody wants to do this, everyone has to do this, because the alternative is, plainly speaking, death. [01:12]
asciilifeform which death [01:12]
mircea_popescu the death where everyone runs around like a headless chicken while the economy disappears "all by itself" and every war is lost (and scarcely even worth the name) [01:13]
mircea_popescu the death where mp is NOT EVEN IMPRESSED. and he's from fucking romanistan! [01:14]
asciilifeform .. but why is it necessary to 'tell them they're better' [01:15]
asciilifeform if this is a self-evident thing [01:15]
mircea_popescu to quote, for truth : [01:15]
mircea_popescu " It's obvious to anyone who has ever seen a boy that they appear, as compared to a similarly aged girl, completely retarded." [01:16]
mircea_popescu the problem is that boys are retarded while girls are useless. [01:16]
mircea_popescu retarded, that you can fix. [01:16]
asciilifeform to industry, quite the opposite of useless. biorobot. assemble ipnohe, all day, every day. [01:16]
mircea_popescu not for all of them, but you don't need to, and it doesn't work reliably either, but you don't need it to, either. [01:17]
asciilifeform precisely the kind of creature called for. [01:17]
mircea_popescu mno. [01:17]
asciilifeform see many boiz in cn factory floor ? [01:17]
mircea_popescu how many boyz in the successful satellite launch ? [01:18]
mircea_popescu who designed their winning rockets, and more importantly, who decided to even go that way ? [01:18]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: one korolev designs, 10,001 biorobots - assemble. [01:19]
mircea_popescu ben_vulpes pretty good. [01:19]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform this is the meaning of useless. [01:19]
asciilifeform school is not for producing korolev (even if anyone knew how...) it produces biorobots. [01:19]
mircea_popescu not so. [01:20]
mircea_popescu school is for providing the background where korolev grows up. both he and the background are unaware of what they're doing there. [01:20]
mircea_popescu but that's what the WHOLE THING is for. [01:20]
mircea_popescu that one guy. the rest you can pour gasoline on. [01:20]
asciilifeform what's he to do alone? [01:21]
asciilifeform write into desk drawer? [01:21]
mircea_popescu we just said he's not alone. [01:21]
asciilifeform ah background. [01:22]
mircea_popescu aha. [01:22]
asciilifeform anyway, yes, in practice, this. but to the extent anyone designed the whole shebang, it was for biorobots. [01:23]
phf sort of like ender's game model, other boys are also there for him to sharpen his faculties [01:23]
asciilifeform (bismarckian public 'education', that is) [01:23]

mircea_popescu anyway, back to the point : unless you actually spend the inordinate amount of effort and make-believe into getting boys appear (to themselves, and to others) actually worth the effort, they won't be. and from there on the whole shebang unravels. [01:29]
mircea_popescu it's rather instructive to compare the "what they were telling 5yo boys" sides of historical conflicts, with the "who won", check out that r! [01:29]
mircea_popescu and no, bismarckian public education is the original PRODUCTIVE scam. that's why the system even survived through centuries (and really, the same shit held up classical antiquity, just, different name) [01:32]

mircea_popescu "lie to little boys about their value, which is absent ; lie to little girls about their inferiority, which is nonsense. come out ahead of "saner" people." [01:33]
mircea_popescu nutty, but the fit flavour of nut. [01:33]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: on a not-unrelated note, i learned that a few floors down from my office there is a ~pediatric shrink~. prolly prescribes dope, even. [01:35]
asciilifeform didja know there was such a thing. [01:35]
mircea_popescu in the states ? myeah. [01:36]
asciilifeform where else! [01:36]
mircea_popescu who did you think was prescribing all the ritalin, obgyns ? [01:38]
asciilifeform l0l [01:38]
asciilifeform for some reason i imagined that it were done by field medics in schools or the like. [01:39]
mircea_popescu yet another reason i don't feel inclined to procreate : i don't actually know of a group for whose sake i'd be willing to lie to eventual daughters. [01:39]

gabrielradio mircea_popescu, i find your stance on procreating intriguing. i'm curious, would you be inclined to say have biological kids, but not raise them yourself? [01:58]
mircea_popescu notrly [01:58]
mircea_popescu i wouldn't raise them myself anyway, what do they have mothers for ? [01:59]
gabrielradio exactly my thoughts [01:59]
gabrielradio so i for one don't find that many drawbacks to parenthood [01:59]
gabrielradio probably because i am not one yet, who knows [02:00]
mircea_popescu how about "i don't feel like wasting any of the women i can stand enough to fuck on this fool's errand" ? [02:00]
gabrielradio any? not even one, for the sake of it? [02:02]
mircea_popescu the sake of what ? [02:03]
gabrielradio spreading the genes [02:03]
gabrielradio just curious. i'm on the other end of the spectrum, i would like to have as many kids as possible, and ideally be involved as little as possible, maybe in their education or such [02:04]

mircea_popescu but seriously, the libtards/hipsers actually need " People aren't seeing Eastwood play Walt; they are seeing The Man With No Name now aged 70 and living alone, still clinging to his horse, I mean gun, I mean car. That's the guy they want to see "grow," that's the guy they want to see admit he was wrong. " ? [22:16]
mircea_popescu lol. wussies. you lose. [22:16]
mircea_popescu "This generation, this, The Dumbest Generation Of Narcissists In The History Of The World, they hate heroes-- except dead ones, they're ok, and superheroes are ok too, people with magic or from other planets-- but human heroes are anathemas, they want to tear them down and show them to be regular mortals, flawed-- and the best is if they can catch them being hypocritical, nothing brings an impotent narcissist to orgasm [22:18]
mircea_popescu faster, even faster than cheating wife stories, than detecting hypocrisy in the elites." [22:18]
mircea_popescu aaaite. [22:18]
mircea_popescu "the end which is so obvious and predictable but at the same time the only one that would speak to this generation of narcissists: when we need a hero, heroes are obligated to rise up and serve, but please have the decency to die afterwards so we can go back to second guessing the ethics of your actions. " >> and when "we" need a monkey that knows how to push the levers one has the moral obligation to materialize, prov [22:21]
mircea_popescu ided of course he doesn't expect and in any case doesn't get any actual power over the derps through this. [22:21]
mircea_popescu it's really a nicely coalessced dementia, this post-cold war west. [22:21]

mircea_popescu What happened? I think the generation raised on action movies felt betrayed. Those movies promised possibilities, promised that when you grow up, your powers will kick in. When you grow up, if bad guys take over a bank, you'll be able to use kung fu on them. It seemed not to have occurred to anyone to learn actual kung fu, or look up how banks are typically laid out, where the alarms are-- just in case. No, these [22:33]
mircea_popescu skills would be uploaded straight by God when needed, sudden and immediate, just as they came to JCVD in Bloodsport. Life is a movie and movies are only 90 minutes long. Not a whole lot of time for training. [22:33]
mircea_popescu Well, the possibilities never came true, so heroes can all go to hell. And God, too, while we're at it, he didn't deliver either. [22:33]
mircea_popescu We got a brief moment of the possibility of 1980s style black and white American might with George Bush after 9/11, when half the country went, "hell yeah, let's go kick some ass!" and the other half went, "wait a second, don't you guys know we suck?" That being the full extent of our national dialogue. You see the results. [22:33]
