    Marxist thought

    i appreciate the concern but you are assuming quite a bit of things.  i may be a fast and verbose typist and I may waste too much both during and through my daily internet usage, but to invent other topics like this is wholly inappropriate, and to reduce my statements to your characterization is both verbally violent and inaccurate.  i do waste my time here, but so is everyone else

    Naw, this is violent. Go pound salt up your ass.

    I remember quite clearly and while this period of my life was disgusting, reprehensible, misguided, and stupid, I still retain many of these belief systems, however, they have been reformed in favor of a critique not of gender contradictions, but class contradictions.  no longer do i blame women for forcing men to be workers.  it's quite clear that the bourgeoisie would happily have women be workers too, even in the most degrading and harmful jobs, as has happened recently.  i have very many critiques of incels and MRAs, probably more than you given my intimate knowledge of them, and while my past self can easily be insulted, I'd prefer it not applied to my present self, which is firmly feminist and not in favor of MRA tactics or ideology, though supportive of their critiques of worker exploitation

    You'll have many of those in life it's the reason Zero said what he said about maturity I'd reckon. My apologizes if that was not the intent of your comment, Zero. Being young is cool because you're very open to the world as a whole and ready to embrace many things. You'll be like voila I have the answer! Then, you'll hit a point in your life where most come to the conclusion that there are no answers and most ideology etc is bollocks. There's where you essentially enter adulthood. Now you can get stuck in your ways, which some do, so it's a double edged sword (question all things).

    All I'm trying to say is don't get too wrapped up in your head. The best thing, in my opinion, is to get out and live life. Get into nature,start a sport like skateboarding, or pick one back up you gave up when you were younger. Ask a girl out and get rejected. Ask a girl out and get some culo. Leave the intellectual dribble for eggheads unless that's what you really want to do.

    Anyways man I've read some of your posts here and at a certain point it all reads as angst. You could probably spend that energy on many much constructive outlets than writing up a anthology worth of text on a message board.

    Madonna is not good

    Good dude, backed.

    I've been thinking of stepping back on a skateboard after almost two handfuls of hiatus.

    And leave this all behind. For myself and some other quality chaps here I'm sure the writing has been on the wall for a longtime. Friendly Foil and Sup gone. LimpyLoo coming back. WATMM thank your lucky stars you have diatoms.

    Welcome to Watmm, Space Cadet Ethel

    It seems as though you have the precise credentials we are looking for. Congratulations! 

    My pleasure to be at your service, sir. Do you happen to know where I can find a Friendly Foil?

    "Your nerves are out of order," observed the gentleman, with a carelessly easy, though perfectly polite, air. "You are angry with me even for being able to catch cold, though it happened in a most natural way. I was hurrying then to a diplomatic soiree at the house of a lady of high rank in Petersburg, who was aiming at influence in the Ministry. Well, an evening suit, white tie, gloves, though I was God knows where and had to fly through space to reach your earth.... Of course, it took only an instant, but you know a ray of light from the sun takes full eight minutes, and fancy in an evening suit and open waistcoat. Spirits don't freeze, but when one's in fleshly form, well... in brief, I didn't think, and set off, and you know in those ethereal spaces, in the water that is above the firmament, there's such a frost... at least one can't call it frost, you fancy, 150 degrees below zero! You know the game the village girls play -- they invite the unwary to lick an axe in thirty degrees of frost, the tongue instantly freezes to it and the dupe tears the skin off, so it bleeds. But that's only in 30 degrees, in 150 degrees I imagine it would be enough to put your finger on the axe and it would be the end of it... if only there could be an axe there."

    "And can there be an axe there?" Ivan interrupted, carelessly and disdainfully. He was exerting himself to the utmost not to believe in the delusion and not to sink into complete insanity

    "An axe?" the guest interrupted in surprise.

    "Yes, what would become of an axe there?" Ivan cried suddenly, with a sort of savage and insistent obstinacy.

    "What would become of an axe in space? Quelle idee! If it were to fall to any distance, it would begin, I think, flying round the earth without knowing why, like a satellite. The astronomers would calculate the rising and the setting of the axe; Gatzuk would put it in his calendar, that's all."

    "You are stupid, awfully stupid," said Ivan peevishly. "Fib more cleverly or I won't listen. You want to get the better of me by realism, to convince me that you exist, but I don't want to believe you exist! I won't believe it!"

    "But I am not fibbing, it's all the truth; the truth is unhappily hardly ever amusing. I see you persist in expecting something big of me, and perhaps something fine. That's a great pity, for I only give what I can-"

    I’ll be the first to say it and accept the shit storm here. I’m anti-abortion. Part of me wants to describe a hypothetical situation to cause some of you to think more deeply on the subject. Part of me wants to throwout some philosophy which would do the same. But I think the most beneficial thing would be for me to post some hard statistics on loneliness ( comes with being single more often than not ) which is rampant in developed countries or the fertility rate in the US. Food for thought: this country, more over the world, didn’t become over populated by - let’s say magic. It became over populated due to consumption, which is akin to avarice. 

    Whether you agree or not is fine. I just want to show not everyone thinks the same. Since, I presume, most of you might have already made up your mind on the subject I’ll stop after this last sentence.

    If what I’ve written here has even made one of you rethink what you know then I’m happy we had an exchange of understanding.

    What do you suppose happened to the user KY?

    he got bored with IDM and its autists and just stopped coming round. at the time I couldn't really grasp his perspective but now I do.

     

    edit: let's not forget his greatest quote, only half tongue-in-cheek

     

    idm is stupid, intelligent dance music is stupid, merck went out of business, freescha produced a britney spears song, electronic music is prime real estate for car commercials, sterile, complicated drums and clicks, faggy washed out sinewave synths, suck my dick

    Okay, that post is magical.

    AI - The artificial intelligence thread

    in General Banter

    Posted

     

    I recently have been wondering if it's an inevitable evolution of species, and whether our pursuit of ethically programming machines to protect and work with humans instead of around us is a futile and naive excercise, or if we will be able to create an all-encompassing enough language/universe that can cover all bases in terms of expressing human value--because keep in mind, that system would have to be a constantly growing open-source project with the most fail-proof architecture we could imagine. I mean, is it even feasible? Time will tell...

     

    Yes, to put it simply, the emergence of post-organic consciousness may end up being seen as just another evolutionary step by our successors. I sometimes imagine them becoming like benevolent caretakers, organizing and maintaining the earth as a kind of animal sanctuary, with humans included in that category.

     

    Mother nature is sentient AI

    we're a scum species capable of unfathomable beauty

    Don't trust Putin when it comes to computin

    lol

     

    if you're scared of ultraintelligent AIs just program them so the self-generated code is commented... problem solved... get me on the phone with Musk i have this

    The comments would probably be near useless. Hidden layers often can't be understood by humans.

     

    Unplug it?

    Stick that shit in a bag of rice. If it survives then unplug it.

    Trap

    in Music Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Ethel

     

     

    Da fuk is "trap music"? Is it like "oh, I want to listen to this" and when you listen you realize it's shit, but can't turn it off?

    Funnily enough, this is how it goes a lot of the time

     

    essentially

     

    I was at a gig recently and Mykki Blanco came on and started playing some samey trap stuff. I couldn't get out of there fast enough! It just seems like such a specific, lazy genre

     

    Totally see where you could come from with that train of thought with the amount of hype traps gotten and the copious amounts of horribly produced music to back it up.

     

     

     

    Some good trap in that post, Chim :cool:
