Ex-pertinent. Ex-pertinence. No longer capable of pertinence. A little mnemonic for you.
The word itself was "accidentally" chosen for the hint about its true meaning.
The French root simply means experienced. "Subject matter experienceds." It's good to experience Engrish so you know how you sound to a literate when you use strange foreign words. The word was chosen and popularized precisely because it makes you obliviously sound like a moron.
You know, I do believe in epigenetic trauma. It can't be used to explain many of the things they use it for, but it's very handy for the following.
Science has found a bottleneck for homo erectus of about 1200 individuals. When the species was this endangered, keeping every single individual alive, as far as possible, was critically important.
I think that trauma has stuck with the species. Price is supply and demand. What's the price of a particular human when there are 8 billion of them? It's zero. Worse: it's nothing, less maintenance costs. (Slavery cast as died out because the product stopped paying for its own transaction costs.)
A lot of human behaviour makes perfect sense assuming they never got over having a population of less than 2000. As if a few dozen dying here or there might cause the extinction of the entire species.
Of course, science isn't, yanno, reliable or anything. However, it's almost certain that something like this bottleneck happened one time or another since the time of australopithecus. We don't need this particular catastrophe to explain the screaming genetic trauma.
Though it could also be simple spiritual mechanics. If humanity really is nothing but the shades of the dead, it means the dead almost got kicked out of not only life, but the afterlife. These humans are acting like they could go back to 1200 only because, like, they were there at the time. Or they personally knew someone who was and told them the story in between afterlives.
Alternatively they just really really really hated the queue times for the Earth server. I consider it more likely that the reason the population got so low was due to a lull in immortal deaths. The heavens declared peace, for a time.
Start a movie-viewing club and spend the drug money buying movies or renting venues.
If you're poor enough that your poverty is crippling, you are too poor
to buy drugs. Call me when there's an epidemic of ODing on water.
Druggies aren't killing themselves out of despair, exactly. They're killing themselves because they've been told to kill themselves, and they're more obedient than sheep. The despair is a side-effect, or possibly a means. It is not causal.
Imagine all the would-be druggies in Springfield bumfuckistan, instead got up one day, got a cup of coffee, and decided to pool resources to make a LAN party house. A based LAN party, all day, every day. This is not some weird utopian scheme, some hyperautist technical feat, some Newtonian genius idea, or in any way difficult. It's just spending drug money on not-drugs, for sociological profit.
They're killing themselves because they're weak and deserve to be culled.
The condition of an instructor being able to get close enough to a student to educate at him was that he should already be educated.
The condition of finding a master is that the apprentice should not need any training.
The people who need schooling cannot be schooled.
Those who can use schooling have no need for a school. It's all post hoc ergo propter hoc. Education steals credit for the achievements of those who educate themselves.
E.g. me. Just try to stop me from knowing things. I dare you. As long as I'm not actively forbidden from showing up to where smart folk are, I will show up whether you want me there or not. "Hi! Tell me things!"
Imagine a professor who hates the sound of his own voice, lmao.
It's only a problem because no such smart place exists.
I am kinda forbidden from just showing up at the chip fab, and even if I weren't, they don't know anything except stuff about chip design. The condition of needing instruction on chip fabrication was that I be allowed inside the chip fab. What a coincidence.
What a hopelessly ignorant and superstitious peasant. https://theupheaval.substack.com/p/the-china-convergence
To justify a lie is much harder than to justify the truth. The deeper the lie, the harder you have to work. The lie here: taxation is not a crime. It's a giant copesicle. Taxation isn't wrong, they're just taxing wrong...
On the plus side, these sorts of liecebergs remind me I've successfully created the sort of distance I'm trying to create. In particular, he goes that long and doesn't once nail the Regime as feminine. By (alleged) girls, for (alleged) girls. Naturally the Oedipal mother-government needs all the "citizens" to be children. That's just what civilization means.
The key feature of the Oedipal mother is that she tries to suck milk out of the baby. Attempts to transmute baby into provider, hence the marriage/sex. It is true insanity: if the target of her ""affections"" is a grown man, she will attempt to transmute him into a baby, so that he becomes, in her mind, a valid target of milk-sucking.
These idiots can't even name the death star without permission. They need, shall we say, assistance with literacy. Doesn't even know revolution is about rotating the social hierarchy through 180 degrees. (Against the social equivalent of gravity, which naturally puts the top on top and the bottom on the bottom.)
"But it is not really egalitarian or communitarian" Seriously, it's cope. I shouldn't really call it ignorant; the superstitious misreading is the point.
"Managerialism" is not in any way distinct from Communism, which is the straightforward result of legitimizing taxation. "in reality its vision of technocratic rule is firmly oligarchic, aligning the few against the many." Hey brain cancer, was Stalin Communist? "Nor is it anti-capitalist, at least in the sense that it encourages market activity and facilitates the accumulation of immense private wealth by the few." Stalin: arch-Capitalist.
"This instinct to keep all power concentrated into the hands of the Party
Center is inherent to the CCP’s Leninist roots but is also part and
parcel of its extreme centrism and broader managerial nature."
Oh yeah hardly any regimes in history have been interested in concentrating power in themselves. Totally a Leninist innovation.
Fuck off, Satanist. Nobody is that stupid.
0) Don't use Chrome. Use a scriptblocker which blocks google analytics. Helpful to also block google.com itself.
1) If you must use Chrome, block google analytics in your hosts file. Looks like the following:
0.0.0.0 google-analytics.com
0.0.0.0 www.google-analytics.com
This is hosts-ese for redirecting analytics to 'go fuck yourself.'
Up to some version of windows, possibly even the latest version, you can very easily find your hosts file by opening a new text file, then going file -> open -> and pasting C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts into the address bar. That is, specifically not into the file name box.
If you have nonzero computer savvy and the stupid-easy way doesn't work on the latest version, you can figure out where to find your hosts file using variants of the above address.
It's probably also helpful to go to about:config or your local browser equivalent, search 'geo' and set all those to the suitable version of [go fuck yourself]. "Geo enabled?" Haha! No!
Brave doesn't have the ability to enable the stupid in the first place, while I expect Chrome doesn't let you disable it.
To get the archive sidebar to work you need to unblock the blogger domains. I expect all their nefarious code is on sites named google, but on the other hand I'm sufficiently un-paranoid to deliberately use a blogger blog. I understand if you don't trust them. In that case, you can search my blog using Brave. site:alrenous.blogspot.com [whatevs]. Works just fine.
I'm still on Brave's first page of results for political formula. I remain dissatisfied with all entries but my own, but mine is there so it's fine.
Meanwhile, I've been purged from DuckDuckGo. I highly recommend getting your own blog on such a search result, to have a nice quick and easy test for when they're massaging the results.
Crime doesn't pay. Taxation is a crime. The proceeds of taxation are all spent on compliance and enforcement, and government has to be funded by voluntary contributions anyway.
E.g. lots of civil servants work far harder than they need to. Voluntary contributions.
Police colleges don't teach policing, meaning all policing lore comes from the cops themselves. Insofar as police suppress criminals, it is by resisting the paperwork and thuggery regime, skimping on protocol to make time for baddie-napping. Everything that works is made to work through creative misinterpretation of the corrupt rules.
Taxation does little but set a whole bunch of time and money on fire. A mass sacrifice to profane gods.
In rare cases men can appear to get rich through crime, such as Buffet or Gates, but do you think these men feel free? Gates can barely spend a dime of his own money on himself - it's all shaken down by the State. Soros is finally being allowed to partially retire at 93, likely because he is dying anyway. The funding for Musk's requisition of Twitter largely came from loans. Musk is famously homeless. Even when he had mansions, he clearly didn't have any time to spend in them. The money isn't worth anything if you can't spend it.
Very much a question of when, not if.
However, it's a very very big when, indeed.
I sincerely doubt anyone can tell you when Ethereum will hit zero. Even if someone does know, they won't know yet. If it's in the short enough term that someone already knows, they are wisely not saying anything, but instead quietly shorting it.
Ethereum will go to zero. It also will be a surprise. "Why now?" Only answerable in retrospect.
The main thing is, if you get involved in Ethereum, know exactly what you're going to do when it goes to 0. Plan on it happening. If you insist on planning on it not happening, then ensure you plan in the shortest term possible. Minimize exposure. It's low-key a miracle it hasn't already exploded to bits.
A general principle of finance: good economists make bad traders. Bubble pricing is based entirely on ignorance, stupidity, and insanity. Good economists don't know anything about that. When will the batshit crazy nutjobs fixate on some other gobsmackingly retarded idea? Basically you have to be a retard yourself to know that, except, of course, then you're retarded and can't make good predictions. We will find out what the retards are thinking when the retards themselves find out.
In the meantime, don't invest in retard juice, that would be retarded.
By contrast, buying as much debt as you can afford and spending it all on BTC is a fine idea. When it spikes, sell the BTC and pay off your loans, then, when it stabilizes again, go around the merry-go-round again. Don't worry about hitting the peak, worry about accumulating residual BTC after you zero out your debts; pull the trigger as soon as you have a comfortable margin when accounting for transaction costs. Bonus: inflation will destroy your debts even if BTC spikes don't.
In a Central Bank regime, rich folk practice is to be underwater at all times. As much debt as they'll let you have, assuming you can afford the interest. Grab the long end of the stick and be the problem you would otherwise complain about in the world. (Asset prices.)
Especially if there's a huge ""emergency"" like ncov again, immediately buy debt and then BTC. War? Debt, BTC. Great Depression? Debt, BTC. Tax revolt? Debt, BTC.
It should also be possible to do the merry-go-round with rental properties. Use the rent to service the debts, until the debts vanish of their own accord. It's better with something really volatile like BTC, though.
You would be able to do this with gold too, but some sort of black criminal magic is being used to keep gold prices from having BTC price spikes. The banks know the side their bread is buttered on.
The least corrupt thing it could possibly be is sadly the most corrupt thing my limited imagination can come up with: they're buying gold directly from gold mines via political force (Communist pricing), and selling this accumulated bullion every time gold threatens to go up, to simulate a bear market. I don't think this can explain the observed trade magnitudes, though. I don't care enough to do all the accounting myself, as the details aren't terribly important, only the condemnation. The details of the scam are of only scholastic curiosity.
