dorion: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-22#1957091 - word. you landing this month ? next ?

mircea_popescu: in general, idiots will a) sabotage any attempt to fix their stupid head and then b) destroy the remains. it's a narrative approach to the world, this "oh, you're perfect the way you are, don't you ever change, that's your identity" bla bla bla.

mircea_popescu: used to be a chicks-only thing, we'd sit around with the women and laugh at the lanky colts. but nowadays it's spread.

mircea_popescu: "how to be a twelve year old girl" is apparently all that vaunted "us culture" comprised.

dorion: mircea_popescu calls to mind the trilema mediocrity byline.

dorion: mircea_popescu 'boomers' really stayed babies in many ways.

mircea_popescu: what's boomers ? isn't it people born in the 50s ?

mircea_popescu: ie, 70yos by now

dorion: yeah about then.

mircea_popescu: what's that to do with anything lol. can't go on blaming 70yos forever.

dorion: right, things were going down hill before them, but I reckon they accelerated the decline.

dorion: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-22#1957092 - nice. I grew up playing team sports, but find myself primarily doing gym exercises these days.

ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-22 18:03:57 bvt: dorion: typically i just go to gym; after vacations i added swimming to the mix (used to do a lot of that in school), and i like the 'noble tiredness' feeling that it gives a lot.

dorion: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-22#1957093 - sounds nice all around.

ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-22 18:06:39 bvt: dorion: the new v impl is written in a posix shell + awk + ada; the core algos in ada are perhaps too simplistic, but they work nicely so far; the eta is end of next week

mircea_popescu: man, i gotta read this log lol. currently stuck on what's becoming an endless piece for diana_coman ; but I SHALL PREVAIL!!!

diana_coman: mircea_popescu: ha! I did look in disbelief at the length of my own "comment" - it's longer than some articles I published at other times!

mircea_popescu: being smart and having interesting work are the only cure to writer's block yet found or ever liable to be known

billymg: dorion: i should be there full time in early march, i'll be there for about a week starting at the end of next
